While the BJP has fielded one Muslim candidate in the ongoing general elections, and its ally JD(U) one more in Bihar, among the key Opposition parties too, the representation to the community has fallen. The Congress, Trinamool Congress, Samajwadi Party, RJD, NCP and CPI(M) have fielded 78 Muslim candidates this time, down from 115 in 2019.
Before his sudden demotion, the Bahujan Samaj Party’s (BSP) Akash Anand had made the BJP his primary target during his Lok Sabha campaigning in Uttar Pradesh last month — a departure from his aunt Mayawati who has mostly targeted the Congress and Samajwadi Party (SP) in recent years.
THE SUDDEN removal by BSP chief Mayawati of nephew Akash Anand as both the party national coordinator and “successor” comes less than five months after she anointed the 28-year-old as her political heir.
The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP)’s president Mayawati seems to have turned over a new leaf as she goes all out to campaign for her party candidates in the Lok Sabha elections across Uttar Pradesh.
Esar Rizvi, 32, and friend Mohammad Faizuddin, 34, have devised a test to determine whom to vote for this time in the Firozabad Lok Sabha seat.

SAMAJWADI PARTY chief Akhilesh Yadav has a lot at stake in the coming Lok Sabha elections. Politics is just one part of it. From two seats in the coming two phases, Akhilesh and wife Dimple are contesting. Both these constituencies – Kannauj and Mainpuri, respectively – had been won in the past by SP patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav.
Less than 10 days to go for polling on May 10, the usual election buzz and animated discussions at street corners and tea stalls is missing in the Agra Lok Sabha constituency.
More than three years after a 19-year-old Dalit woman wasallegedly gangraped by four upper-caste men in Hathras, and died 11 days later in Delhi’s Safdarjung Hospital in September 2020, the voters in her village are divided along caste lines. While the four families related to the victim are silent on their candidate preference, the others in her village – mostly upper caste – have declared their intention to vote for the BJP in the third phase of polling on May 7 for the SC-reserved Hathras Lok Sabha seat.
