Before Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to India, a statement by Congress leader Udit Raj has increased the discussion in political circles. Udit Raj said that Russia is no longer as reliable a partner as before and it did not get as much support as it should have in India’s major crises.

Earlier Russia used to stand together like a rock- Udit Raj
While talking to the media, Udit Raj said that Russia has been a strong friend of India for a long time, but during the Pahalgam terrorist attack and India-Pakistan war, Russia’s support was not as expected. According to him, this affected India’s position at the international level.

Demand to strengthen old friendship again
He said that the friendship between India and Russia has been going on since the time of Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi and now there is a need to make it as strong as before. Udit Raj expressed hope that the current meetings can improve relations.

Accusation of American pressure
Regarding Russian oil imports, Congress leader Udit Raj claimed that India has reduced the purchase of oil from Russia due to American pressure. He said that earlier India did not do this. He also said that India should again build a trusting relationship with Russia as before.

Putin’s two-day visit to India from today
Russian President Vladimir Putin will reach New Delhi on Thursday evening. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will host an informal dinner in his honor at night. The purpose of this visit is said to be to further strengthen defence, trade and strategic partnership, especially at a time when relations between India and America are witnessing tension. This is President Putin’s tenth visit to India. Earlier, Vladimir Putin had come to India in the year 2021.

Former Lok Sabha MP and Indian National Congress leader Udit Raj has made a big claim regarding Bihar elections. Leader of Rashtriya Janata Dal and CM of Grand Alliance Face His claim against Tejashwi Yadav has created a stir. Raj claimed that Tejashwi did not win but was made to win so that the elections appear fair.

He said that ‘RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav did not win the election, but they (Bharatiya Janata Party and Election Commission of India) ensured his victory, because he was trailing till the evening. Now they thought that in order to justify and make the elections appear fair, they ensured that they won.

Raj said ‘SIR and EVM are being used to ensure their victory, and they will destroy the Constitution of India. The elections were already decided, and they knew exactly what would happen.

‘There is such a poisonous person in the family…’, Lalu Yadav’s daughter Rohini Acharya again made an emotional post

What else did Udit Raj say?

Actually, Raj was asked a question regarding the statement given by Samajwadi Party National President Akhilesh Yadav on the role of the Commission and BJP in Bihar elections. Akhilesh had said that this is not looting of votes but robbery in Bihar. The election was not conducted properly.

Raj said that it is possible to do One Nation, One Election in 2027. Or it may cross 400 by the year 2029. Now that they have come up with a new method, they (BJP) will cross 400. BJP can achieve through EVM and SIR. The matter has gone too far. This has been given to Tejashwi. Bihar elections were already decided as to how many seats we had to win and how many we had to leave. India is now following the model of Russia and China.

In Delhi, Congress leader Udit Raj has made a big claim through X-Post. He says that officials of the Estate Directorate of the Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India came to his residence and his household items were thrown out.

Giving information in his social media post, Udit Raj has written, “My house located at C1/38, Pandara Park, New Delhi-3 is allotted in the name of my wife Seema Raj. The authorities say that they will evict us from here tomorrow morning. My wife is retired and we have no intention of staying here for long. So we are looking for a private residence.”

My household items are being thrown on the road. pic.twitter.com/fVXk0iCiqW

Udit Raj told that he was forced to stay at the residence for some time because his father-in-law was fighting a long illness and he passed away. However, Udit Raj himself told that he will shift to his house by the end of November.

‘Directorate is deliberately causing trouble’- Udit Raj

The Congress leader further said that the rent of this house is very high anyway and he is living here under compulsion. In the post, Udit Raj wrote, “The officials who came today advised us to speak to the Director/Joint Secretary in the Ministry and we tried to contact them, but to no avail. My wife has written to the Ministry to extend our stay for some time. She has gone to the court of the District and Sessions Judge, Patiala House Court, who has accepted her appeal and issued a notice to the Directorate and the matter is listed on 28.10.25.”

It seems that despite the matter being sub-judice, the Estate Directorate is deliberately resorting to forced eviction during holidays, so that we do not get any relief.

Today officers from the Directorate of Estates,Ministry of Urban Development, Govt of India came to my house at C1/38 ,Pandara Park, New Delhi-3 which is allotted in the name of my wife, Seema Raj and informed that they would evict us tomorrow morning. My wife is retired and we… pic.twitter.com/IBGEAnsZTU

‘Nefarious intentions of upper caste people’- Udit Raj

Congress leader Udit Raj linked this issue to casteism. He said that there are many people who are worthy of kindness, but are living in luxurious bungalows under absurd excuses. I tried to contact the concerned minister Manohar Lal Khattar, but could not contact him. The selective action of the authorities and targeting of an opposition leader, who belongs to a lower caste and raised his voice against the increasing atrocities on Dalits, reflects the nefarious intentions of the upper caste dominant class in the current government.

What’s the hurry in this matter? I am ready to vacate the house soon, but why is the same yardstick not being applied to the so-called upper caste people who are living in even bigger houses? I will not step back even an inch in my fight for social justice.

After the announcement of Bihar assembly elections dates, now the political atmosphere has become completely hot. Now everyone’s eyes are fixed on which seat the candidate will field. Meanwhile, a new statement has been issued by the Congress party, which can cause trouble for RJD.

Congress leader Udit Raj has given such a statement about the face of India Alliance which will make it think ‘Who is the face of India alliance?’. He said that even though Tejashwi Yadav is the face of RJD, the Chief Minister’s face of India Alliance will be decided later.

The collective CM candidate of India alliance is not yet decided- Congress

After the announcement of dates by the Election Commission, Udit Raj was questioned whether Tejashwi Yadav has been declared the CM candidate by India alliance in Bihar? On this, he said in a statement to PTI, “Look, they can do any supporter or party, but the collective CM candidate of India alliance is not yet decided. Now let’s see what happens next and what the party decides.” That is, Tejashwi Yadav may be RJD candidates, but no official announcement has been made at the alliance level.

Which party is the face of CM?

Both NDA and India alliance are claiming victory in Bihar elections. The talks on seat sharing are almost complete, but the situation on the post of Chief Minister is still unclear. While Nitish Kumar is being considered a face in NDA, this decision in India alliance is still pending. Udit Raj’s statement is an indication that the brainstorm is still going on regarding the leadership between the Congress and allies. It is clear from this that more interactions are needed on strategic coordination within the alliance.

When will voting be held?

This time elections will be held in two phases in Bihar. The first phase of voting will be held on 6 November and the second and final phase will be held on November 11. The results will be declared on 14 November. The enthusiasm and political stir in the entire state about these elections is fast. RJD, Congress and other parties are eyeing which party emerges with a majority and the leadership equation within the alliance finally goes in which direction.

Udit raj backed peter navarro: Peter Navaro, Advisor to US President Donald Trump, is constantly making anti -India rhetoric. Recently, he alleged that Brahmins are earning profits in India by purchasing oil from Russia. His statement is being criticized in the country.

Former Congress MP Udit Raj supported this claim of Navaro. He said that corporate houses in India are operated on a large scale by upper castes and the benefits of buying oil from Russia are limited to them.

Udit Raj said this in support

Udit Raj said, ‘What Peter Navarro said is factually correct. It will take a long time for backward castes and Dalits in the country to establish big corporate houses.

Peter Navarro gave a disputed statement

Navaro criticized India’s trade policies and called the country a ‘Maharaja of Tariff’. He said that due to India buying oil from Russia, war is getting funds in Ukraine. He also questioned PM Modi’s recent diplomatic efforts with Russia and China. Navaro said that Brahmins are earning profits at the cost of common Indians and America wants it to be closed. He also said that India’s mixing with the rulingists is not correct according to democracy.

India has taken a tough stand

India took a tough stand on Navaro’s comment and said that energy purchases from Russia are part of the global market operations. This benefits the Indian economy. India also made it clear that this income does not go directly to the war fund of Russia. Despite the US pressure and additional tariffs, India is now insisting on further strengthening its relations with Russia and China in the changing global scenario.

Congress leader Udit Raj asked the Opposition MP and former Congress President Rahul Gandhi to prove the second Ambedkar for the OBC community. This comment of the Congress leader has made a scathing attack by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The BJP has called the statement of the Congress leader an insult to the Dalits as well as the constitution maker and social reformer Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar.

What did Congress leader Udit Raj say,

In fact, Congress leader Udit Raj posted a post on social media platform X on Saturday (July 26, 2025). Udit Raj said in the post, “People of the OBC community will have to think that history does not give them a chance to progress again and again. Whatever things Rahul Gandhi has somewhere in Talkatora Stadium should follow their words and give their support. If they do so, Rahul Gandhi will prove to be another Ambedkar for his (Obisa community).”

BJP condemns Congress leader’s remarks

However, the BJP not only condemned this comment of the Congress leader, but also called such a comparison for Dr. Ambedkar’s legacy. Reacting to Udit Raj’s statement, BJP spokesperson Shahzad Poonawala launched a scathing attack on the Congress party. He said, “When the Congress party is talking about another Ambedkar, meaning he never respected the real Ambedkar.”

He said, “It has become the identity of the Congress to insult Dalits and Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar. Who has insulted the real Ambedkar? Who did not give him Bharat Ratna? Who did not allow his constitution to be implemented in Jammu and Kashmir? Who did the talk of Muslim reservation? Who said that reservation is wrong, he was Jawaharlal Nehru.”

Congress party worships only one family- Shahzad Poonawala

He further said, “Now these people want to become another Ambedkar, not Nehru or Indira Gandhi? This itself is also believing that Nehru and Indira Gandhi were on the wrong path, because the Congress party knows to worship only one family and worships that family, this is its ideology.”

We want to maintain good relations with our neighbors, but terrorism and good relations cannot run together, so it also depends on Pakistan.”

What did Udit Raj say about ‘Operation Sindoor’?

Earlier in June last month, Congress leader Udit Raj reacted to Pahalgam terror attack and ‘Operation Sindoor’. He had said, “Before Operation Sindoor, the people of Pakistan considered PM Modi their ideal. Prime Minister Modi was praised in Pakistan’s media, but, after ‘Operation Sindoor’, PM Modi is being mocked. ”

He further said, “Pakistan is talking about us in various ways. When there was talk in favor of Modi in the media of Pakistan, these people used to say that ‘Look, the media of Pakistan has also become a devotee’ and when there is evil, these people get irritated. ”

There is no country with India after ‘Operation Sindoor’

He attacked the Center and said, “There is no country in the world with India after ‘Operation Sindoor’. Is it anti -country to speak this truth? After all, where did we miss? There was a time when Pakistan was isolated in the whole world after the 26/11 terror attack. But, today we are isolated. Financial assistance is being given to Pakistan by IMF. He is being told to go and fight with India. ‘

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has refused to react to the sudden resignation of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar. Talking to reporters in Howrah, Mamta said, “I don’t have to comment about this. Let’s see what happens.” He further said, “They are a healthy person. I think his health is absolutely fine. Mamta Banerjee’s statement came at a time when the opposition parties are constantly raising questions about the resignation of the Vice President and considering it as related for political reasons.

Mamta erupted on reporter
Mamta Banerjee rained on a reporter during a conversation with the media. He said angrily to the reporter, you do not say what we do, you guys only talk about BJP? Do we dare to talk? On the question of Jagdeep Dhankhar’s resignation, Mamta said why are you decorating it? Do not ask the question of Dhankar ji’s resignation so much. He is a healthy person.

Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned to President
Jagdeep Dhankhar sent his resignation to President Draupadi Murmu on Monday evening. In his resignation sent to Murmu, Dhankar said that he is leaving the post with immediate effect for “giving priority to health care”. Dhankhar said in a letter to the President, “According to Article 67 (A) of the Constitution, I am resigning from the post of Vice President of India with immediate effect.

Jagdeep was in the news due to the vocal attitude
Jagdeep Dhankhar made headlines due to his vocal attitude and controversies, but he was most discussed when he was the Governor of West Bengal. There was a demand to remove him several times regarding his behavior in that period, which is long before the impeachment motion brought by the opposition in the Rajya Sabha in December last year.

Trinamool Congress demanded removal in 2020
In December 2020, five MPs of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) submitted a memorandum to the then President Ram Nath Kovind, demanding the removal of Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar from the post. The MPs accused him of working on the orders of “political masters sitting in Delhi” and running a special political agenda targeting the state government.

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor said on Thursday (June 19) that he has differences with some leaders in the party leadership. He said that his opinion is different from some people of Congress leadership. When Congress leader Udit Raj was questioned on this, he told the news agency ANI that ‘I am not in a position to comment on this’. Earlier, he called Shashi Tharoor a ‘super spokesperson’ of BJP.

What did you say on PM Modi’s speech in Bihar?

Apart from this, he was also questioned on PM Narendra Modi’s address in Bihar. In Siwan, Bihar, the Prime Minister targeted the Congress and RJD. He said that during the license rule of the Congress, the leaders of his party became rich but the people remained poor. He said that the model of Congress and RJD focuses on family.

On this, Congress leader Udit Raj said, “The RSS and the Bharatiya Janata Party have so much hatred with quota and license. Dalits have been uplifted especially and backward by quota and license itself.”

‘RSS wants to keep backward-dalits slaves’

Udit Raj said, “There is a quota in the gas agency. There is a quota in the petrol pump. There is quota in the job. There is a quota in the head-sarpanch. There is a license. I can understand the pain. I can understand the pain. The RSS wants to keep backward and Dalits as a slave and the Congress did not allow them to become slaves. So the license and Kota Raj opposed the license and Kota Raj. Given 10 years, they must have given 10 lakh jobs in 10 years.

‘Licenses and quota have come up’

Further, he said, “At the time of Congress, 10 lakh SC, ST and OBC used to get jobs. People of SC, ST and OBC who have come up in Bihar have come up from license and quota.”

Congress leader Udit Raj has supported the statement of Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha, in which he has accused of rigging Maharashtra elections. Udit Raj targeted the Election Commission and said that he (ECI) has not responded to the names of fake voters and removal.

Speaking to IANS, on Saturday (June 7, 2025), the Congress leader said that Rahul Gandhi talks with the fact. The Election Commission reached an agreement. Fake votes were cast, which the Election Commission has not been able to answer. The government of Maharashtra is a government of dishonest people. There has been a scam in EVMs in this election.

Congress leader raised questions on Election Commission
Udit Raj said that the Election Commission did not even explain how the number of voters added in 5 months can be more than the number of voters added in 5 years? Congress leader Udit Raj said that the Election Commission has also refused to give video footage. He further said that whenever questions arise on the Election Commission, the BJP becomes his shield, there is an elected autocracy in India.

What did Rahul Gandhi say?
Rahul Gandhi made serious allegations against the Modi government regarding the Maharashtra assembly elections 2024. He said these things while sharing the article of English newspaper on X. Rahul Gandhi also stated five stages of disturbing the election. Rahul says that the BJP is now eyeing the Bihar assembly elections and there is also a preparation for match-fixing like Maharashtra.

Rahul Gandhi raised questions
The Leader of Opposition alleges that the BJP influenced the Maharashtra assembly elections and results by strategizing in 5 phases. Also said that the Modi government changed the law related to the appointment of Election Commissioners in 2023, due to which this law bowed down in favor of the government. Rahul Gandhi said that the selection committee formed under the new law included Prime Minister, Cabinet Minister and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha. This committee recommends the name of the Chief Election Commissioner or Election Commissioners to the President. He raised the question and said why the Chief Justice of the country was removed from the selection committee and a cabinet minister was kept?
