The Samajwadi Party is working as the principal opposition party, and we aim to form the government this time... Who allies and who doesn’t is their political decision.

#WATCH# | Hyderabad, Telangana | Telangana Gig and Platform Workers Union’s Founder President Shaik Salauddin says, "...Rahul Gandhi is expected to visit Hyderabad on November 14th.

While the legislation has already been passed, the specific rules and the formation of the board are now set to be officially notified. On 14 November, Rahul Gandhi will inaugurate this process, marking the beginning of the full-fledged implementation of these rules and the board in Telangana... A small rally, organised entirely by the workers themselves, without any political involvement, is scheduled for that day... Workers are participating in this rally of their own volition to express their joy, as they have been fighting for this cause at both the central and state levels for a very long time. After three long years, the moment for implementation has finally arrived... The government has proactively stepped in to provide compensation of ₹5 lakh each to the families of 8 individuals in cases of accidental death, with the process for 4 others currently underway. This is a positive development..."

#WATCH# | Kolkata | On bulldozer action outside Abhishek Banerjee's residence, West Bengal minister Dilip Ghosh says, "Mamata Banerjee’s family is the biggest beneficiary, and they have made the most extensive misuse of government facilities. Her family members have encroached upon footpaths and other public spaces. Many other politicians have done the same; bulldozers have been used against such encroachments in the past, and this process continues even now. First and foremost, the encroachments made by these politicians must be removed—otherwise, what can the common people possibly do? If the encroachments by politicians are cleared, the general public will follow suit and remove their own encroachments as well."

#WATCH# | Chennai | On Tamil Nadu CM Vijay's meeting with TVK MLAs, AIADMK Spokesperson Kovai Sathyan says, "Just a publicity stunt and exercise because the outcome of the meeting is not known. There were no official statements regarding the meeting. Mr. Vijay is in no position to take any action against any of his MLAs. The reason is that he runs a minority government, and he has begged the support of five other parties, who have got only two MLAs to run the show. If one MLA were to retaliate or quit TVK, then the government would have to face a no-confidence motion. He is a puppet in the hands of all his MLAs. He is in no position to take any action against anybody. But as a Chief Minister of the state, he can definitely initiate actions in the government and governance, which he doesn't do because he is not experienced. He doesn't have that aptitude to take action from a governance point of view. Vijay still believes that he is running the show, as it happens in a movie."

#WATCH# | Hyderabad, Telangana: On Telangana CM Revanth Reddy's remarks on the Congress-BJP alliance, BJP State President Ramchander Rao says, "...There is nothing new or surprising in his statement because the BJP has always been anti-Congress and against the Congress party. We believe that Congress has always supported forces that are actually divisive and try to divide the country in the name of caste, region, and other factors... We do not join hands with divisive forces. We do not view Congress as a party that believes in national integration... Revanth Reddy's comment that they will not join hands with the BJP is not surprising at all..."
