Congress criticises Centre over medicine prices, calls for PM Modi’s exit

Government

Congress has criticized the Centre over medicine prices, with The New Indian Express reporting the remark that it was “time to pick up jhola and leave” for PM Modi.

The report is dated 05 Oct 2026 and identifies Congress as the party raising the issue. The supplied material does not name the medicines involved, specify the price changes, or identify the Congress leader who made the remark. It also does not include a response from the Centre or PM Modi.

MSME amendment bill listed by PIB

A separate PIB entry lists The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development (Amendment) Bill, 2026. The entry is dated 04 Oct 2026. However, the supplied content contains only the Bill’s title and does not provide details of its provisions, legislative status or expected impact on micro, small and medium enterprises.

That means the listing confirms the existence of an item under that title in the PIB material, but does not establish what changes the proposed amendment would make.

Aequs shares rise after Karnataka MoU

Aequs Ltd shares rose after the company signed an MoU with the Karnataka government for a ₹2,856 crore expansion plan, according to the Alice Blue report. The report identifies the agreement as an expansion plan but does not provide details of the proposed projects, the implementation schedule or the terms of the MoU beyond the stated amount.

The supplied material also does not state the scale or duration of the share-price movement. It links the reported rise to the signing of the MoU, while leaving the wider financial and operational details unspecified.

Separate political claim involving Rahul Gandhi

A YouTube item dated 01 Oct 2026 carries a headline claiming that Rahul Gandhi exposed the Election Commission and the Modi government and that the development created a stir. The supplied text does not include the remarks attributed to Rahul Gandhi, the material he is said to have presented, or responses from the Election Commission or the Modi government.

The entries therefore cover separate developments: Congress’s criticism over medicine prices, a PIB listing for the MSME amendment Bill, an Aequs expansion MoU with the Karnataka government, and a political claim involving Rahul Gandhi. No connection between these developments is stated in the supplied material.
