Evidence (2023-05-20): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah dancing under the influence of alcohol. [...] A video purportedly showing Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah dancing allegedly after having Champagne is going viral on social media platforms. In the 34-second-long-video, two footage have been switched together. While the first part shows the Congress leader celebrating with a Champagne bottle, the second segment allegedly shows Siddaramaiah dancing. The text "a few moments later" has been used to join the two clips together- insinuating that the new Karnataka Chief Minister was dancing under the influence of alcohol. The video further carries a watermark of "Troll Guru". [...] A video of Siddaramaiah’s lookalike is being falsely shared to show the new Karnataka Chief Minister dancing after getting drunk.

Evidence (2024-10-09): To understand the parliamentary procedure behind the momentous legislation, we need to also understand the politics of the pomp and ceremony of the inauguration of India’s new Parliament building. The new building has been a pet project of the BJP Government and Prime Minister Modi, and in many ways a grand expression of the BJP’s national and civilisational storytelling (and myth making). Inaugurating the new Parliament needed a strong legislative move as a symbol of the BJP’s civilisational agenda. What better than the Women’s Reservation Bill—progressive, supported by almost all parties, and therefore a legislation that would pass without trouble ? While Opposition parties had boycotted the formal (highly Hinduised) inauguration of the building on 28 May 2023, the start of work in it would bring all parties together by delivering a BJP-led Bill. In his inaugural speech in the new Parliament, prefacing the introduction of the Women’s Reservation Bill, Modi began by reminding everyone that it was an auspicious occasion—it was both Ganesh Chaturthi and the Jain Samvatsari (Lok Sabha 2023 : 6–7). To inaugurate the new building, a Special Parliament session was called from 18 to 22 September via Lok Sabha Bulletin II Nos. 7340–7343, published on 2 September 2023. But no clear information on the business of Parliament was made available to the members.

Evidence (2024-06-24): The Lok Sabha has been adjourned and will meet again at 11 a.m. on June 25. The first session of the Lok Sabha began with various prominent leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, taking oaths as Members of Parliament. Union Ministers G. Kishan Reddy, Chirag Paswan, Kiren Rijiju, Nitin Gadkari, and Mansukh Mandaviya took oaths as members of the 18th Lok Sabha, amongst others. Union Ministers Bhupender Yadav, Giriraj Singh, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, JD(U) MP Rajiv Ranjan (Lalan) Singh, BJP MP Piyush Goyal, and Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan also took oaths as members of the 18th Lok Sabha. [...] Earlier today, seven-time BJP MP Mahtab was sworn in as the Pro-tem Speaker of the 18th Lok Sabha. The oath was administered by President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan. Meanwhile, the Opposition MPs of the INDIA bloc protested against the appointment of Mr. Mahtab as the Pro-tem Speaker saying that the appointment by the BJP deviates from the traditional practice of appointing the senior member. On June 26, the Lok Sabha Speaker will be elected. On June 27, President Murmu is scheduled to address the joint sitting of both houses of Parliament. Earlier, while addressing media persons outside the new Parliament building, PM Modi congratulated all the newly elected members and said that the new government will always strive to take everyone along and build consensus to serve the country.

Evidence (2023-05-26): But the building’s inauguration has faced heavy criticism. On Wednesday, 19 opposition parties announced a boycott of the event, accusing the government of "constitutional impropriety." And the Supreme Court is expected to hear a case on Friday relating to the inauguration ceremony. [...] On Wednesday, a joint statement issued by 19 national and regional opposition parties stated that Modi’s decision to "inaugurate the new parliament building by himself" was "not only a grave insult but a direct assault on our democracy which demands a commensurate response." The parties plan to collectively boycott the event, adding that "the soul of democracy has been sucked out from the parliament." [...] The BJP has defended its decision by saying the new building is a matter of pride for all Indians and accused the opposition of "politicizing" the inauguration. India’s Home Minister Amit Shah said that all political parties had been invited to the ceremony, but that "everyone will act according to their own feelings," at a press conference on Wednesday. The tussle is yet another reminder of the strained relationship between the governing BJP and the opposition parties, who most recently protested the parliamentary disqualification of Rahul Gandhi, the de facto leader of the Congress Party, India’s main opposition party after he was charged and convicted of defamation in March. A Congress spokesperson previously told TIME that the charges were "flimsy and cooked up."

Evidence (2024-10-08): Recognizing the Constitution was a barrier to his style of governance, Saïed suspended it in September 2021. He oversaw the writing of a new constitution in 2022 that recreated a unitary presidential system with the president serving as head of state and government. Taking the stance that Saïed’s actions were illegal and illegitimate, opposition parties boycotted the constitutional referendum that was marked by only 31-percent turnout. Subsequent parliamentary elections, which the opposition again boycotted, delivered Saïed the rubber-stamp parliament that he wanted.
