Congress faces criticism and legal setbacks while celebrating local election win

The Indian National Congress party is dealing with multiple political and legal challenges. A Congress leader in Maharashtra accused the rival BJP of using historical figure Tipu Sultan to distract from alleged Epstein links, while the Supreme Court criticized Congress MP Jairam Ramesh over a legal challenge to government memorandums.

Meanwhile, the Congress party celebrated winning local elections in Telangana state, though the BJP made some gains there too. Separately, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju released a video claiming Congress MPs threatened the Prime Minister in the Speaker's chamber.
