The Quint: Exclusive | A Strong Opposition is Essential For Democracy: N...

In an exclusive interview to The Quint, union Minister Venkaiah Naidu said that it is imperative for a democratic country to have an opposition.
Ridiculing rival party Congress, he said that the people had taken a decision to not recognise the party as an opposition in the Parliament. He further added that the party had managed to pocket only seven seats in UP, despite having snagged an alliance with the Samajwadi Party.
Stating that the BJP’s well-wishes will remain should the opposition put up a united front, Naidu affirmed that such a situation is close to impossible. Highlighting the politics in states without a BJP-led front, Naidu said that the opposition parties will never agree for an alliance with each other. “If it happens, it will be easier”, he said.

SP Leader Azam Khan makes headlines for threatening an Election Commission official in Rampur for stopping his car and making him walk through a muddy track.
Azam Khan was on his way to the poll panel’s office in Rampur to collect his election victory certificate.
Khan lost his calm on the official saying, “I am still the minister and will remain one till the new government comes in. I still have the right to take action against you. This is very disappointing. Is this the reason why we brought you here? You cried to me to get to this place and this is how you act now? How could you ask me to walk through that road,”
