Delhi Confidential: Informal gathering at Manoj Tiwari’s residence; Modi nudges lawyers on numbers

BJP leaders Manoj Tiwari and Shivesh Kumar, both hailing from the Purvanchal region, shared an informal gathering at Tiwari's residence in Delhi. Tiwari praised Kumar's family's long-standing association with the BJP, while Kumar highlighted Tiwari's role in the party. The two BJP figures discussed their shared history and mutual respect.

During Prime Minister Narendra Modi's keynote address at the NGT international conference, he emphasized the importance of numbers by asking lawyers to pay attention to the figures related to renewable energy and climate action. Modi's comments elicited laughter from the crowd of judges, lawyers, and bureaucrats.

In a separate case, senior advocate Sidharth Luthra raised an unusual objection in the Supreme Court regarding a judge's handling of a case. Luthra argued that the judge faced allegations of regional bias when presiding over the Telangana Chief Minister's case, as the High Court was still common for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana at the time. The application was eventually rejected.
