Former chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar and Gurgaon MP-elect Rao Inderjit Singh are two Haryana BJP leaders who are likely to be inducted as Union ministers when the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government’s council of ministers takes oath on Sunday.
Two-time MPs Gangapuram Kishan Reddy (63) and Bandi Sanjay Kumar (52) – from Telangana’s Secunderabad and Karimnagar respectively – are set to be inducted as Union ministers on Sunday, when the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government’s council of ministers take oath.
While the incumbent BJP-led NDA maintained its supremacy in Bihar in the Lok Sabha polls by winning 30 seats out of 40 as against the INDIA bloc’s 9 seats, it was beaten by the Opposition alliance in Uttar Pradesh, the most crucial heartland state.
With the BJP failing to replicate its 2019 Lok Sabha election success in West Bengal and losing ground to the Trinamool Congress (TMC), the fissures in the state unit are once again out in the open, with at least two prominent leaders criticising the state leadership in recent days.
DESPITE several measures to reach out to tribals in Jharkhand, the BJP was not able to win any of the five Scheduled Tribe-reserved seats in the state. In four of these, its margin of defeat was over 1.2 lakh votes.
A war of words has erupted between the CPI(M) and Congress in Kerala over Suresh Gopi’s groundbreaking win in Thrissur, with both accusing each other of helping the BJP register its first poll victory in the state.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, when the BJP had won 303 seats in a commanding victory, it had won 224 of them with more than 50% of the vote share. This time, not only did the BJP fall short of an outright majority, getting 240 seats, it won only 156 of them with more than 50% vote share.
Between 2019 and 2024, the BJP’s Lok Sabha seat tally fell from 303 to 240, with most of the losses concentrated in four Hindi heartland states – Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar and Haryana. With 49 seats dropped here, these four states contributed the most to the BJP’s overall reduction in seats.
