From the Urdu Press: ‘What became of Modi guarantees on jobs, black money… Can Bihar show INDIA the way?’
As the election season gets underway, key contenders have shifted to a higher gear with the BJP getting a head start by declaring 195 candidates, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the party’s mascot and campaign spearhead, who is eyeing a hat-trick. In contrast, the Opposition INDIA alliance still seems to be in the doldrums, struggling to stitch seat-sharing deals or a compelling narrative. Mapping the arc of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the Urdu dailies also tracked the Rajya Sabha polls, with the INDIA camp again losing the plot amid cross-voting and defections that even pushed the Congress government in Himachal to the brink.
