Supreme Court's Anticipatory Bail Decision: A Blow to Assam BJP's 'Fake Cases'

Congress leader Sama Ram Mohan Reddy celebrates the Supreme Court's granting of anticipatory bail to Pawan Khera, viewing it as a condemnation of 'fake cases' by the BJP in Assam. Despite anticipating surprises in upcoming elections, he opines that TMC in West Bengal and UDF in Kerala may prevail.

In a significant development, Congress leader Sama Ram Mohan Reddy hailed the Supreme Court's recent decision to grant anticipatory bail to fellow Congress leader Pawan Khera. Reddy described the verdict as a stark reprimand to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Assam, accusing it of orchestrating 'fake cases' against its opponents.

Commenting on the political scene, Reddy raised skepticism about current exit poll results, suggesting unexpected outcomes could arise. He noted that while discrepancies in survey agency predictions exist, the final results might defy expectations, with TMC in West Bengal possibly retaining victory and UDF in Kerala triumphing, aided by Rahul Gandhi and coalition efforts.

The controversy began after the Gauhati High Court denied Khera anticipatory bail concerning a defamation case linked to Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma's wife. The Supreme Court's choice to prioritize justice and grant bail emphasizes its unwillingness to tolerate politically motivated legal actions. This development underscores ongoing tensions between the Congress and BJP in regional politics.
