PM Narendra Modi has said that political parties should keep out of the affairs of the judiciary. In an interview to Times Now, he was asked about the ongoing crisis in the Supreme Court. He said he had faith in the judicial system and was confident it would figure out a solution to its problems.

The vote also served as a setback to the formation of a comprehensive anti-BJP front on the national level, of which Yechury was seen to be a key partner. Meanwhile, the Congress said the push within the CPM against any electoral understanding with it has been known for months.
