All the three members of the Gandhi family who hold senior positions in the Indian National Congress, namely, Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, are reportedly set to offer their resignations at the Congress meet due to be held on March 13, NDTV reported.

The Congress party has, however, denied that the Gandhis would be offering their resignations tomorrow.

The Congress Working Committee will be meeting in Delhi to discuss the ongoing poll debacles in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Manipur, Goa, and Punjab. At the meet, the CWC may reportedly pitch advancing the internal elections that are slated to be held in September this year.

The development comes after the Congress party put up a dismal performance in the recently concluded assembly elections held in five states. With the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) forming the government in Punjab, the Congress party lost its hold on one of the last few states remaining under its rule.

In Uttar Pradesh, where Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was actively campaigning, the Congress managed to get just two out of 403 seats and only 2.4 percent of the votes.

According to a report by NDTV, the Congress party’s poor performance in the 2022 polls has revived criticism against the members of the Gandhi family and a need for an overhaul of the party’s leadership.

Among those who spoke out openly are senior Congress leaders Shashi Tharoor and Jaiveer Shergill.

However, Karnataka Congress chief DK Shivakumar believes that the party will fall apart in the absence of the Gandhi family. He has said: “Without the Gandhi family, the Congress party cannot stay united. They are key for the unity of the Congress party… It is impossible for the Congress to survive without the Gandhi family.”

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
