The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday declared Dinesh Pratap Singh as its candidate from the Raebareli seat for the Lok Sabha Election 2024. Raebareli, a Gandhi family stronghold, has been won by former Congress President Sonia Gandhi four consecutive times.
While taking oath in the Lok Sabha earlier this week, Awadhesh Prasad, the newly-elected Samajwadi Party MP from Faizabad, invoked ‘Veerangana’ Uda Devi and ‘Maharaja’ Bijli Pasi, two prominent personalities of the Pasi (Dalit) community. Prasad himself belongs to the Pasi community, who number over three lakh in the Faizabad Lok Sabha constituency and who are believed to have voted en masse to elect him over his BJP opponent.
From cardiologists and professors to actors and cricketers, the 18th Lok Sabha which convenes for the first time on Monday accounts for a wide range of professions among the newly-elected MPs. The number of MPs who have declared their professions as social workers, farmers and business people, however, has declined in comparison to the 17th Lok Sabha.
Finally, after two decades of ‘will she, won’t she’, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is going to make her electoral debut now. She will contest the Lok Sabha bypoll from Kerala’s Wayanad, the constituency that her brother Rahul Gandhi has vacated so as to retain his Rae Bareli seat in Uttar Pradesh instead.
In the wake of the Lok Sabha elections, which threw up startling results, the leading contenders, the ruling BJP as well as the Opposition INDIA alliance, have started conducting a post-mortem of their performances – their hits and misses. They would then return to the drawing boards to firm up action plans for the challenges ahead. The Urdu dailies have turned their focus on this massive political exercise, especially tracking its progress in key states.

The Congress on Monday announced that Rahul Gandhi wouldretain his seat in Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh and give up Wayanad in Kerala where Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, his sister, will make her electoral debut. The announcement came after Congress’ top leadership on Monday held discussions at Kharge’s residence.
Having seen a sizable chunk of Scheduled Caste (SC) and Other Backward Class (OBC) votes shift to the Samajwadi Party (SP)-Congress alliance in Uttar Pradesh, the BJP has tried to make up to communities such as Pasis (SCs) and Kurmis (OBCs) by giving them representation in the Union Council of Ministers.
Buoyed by the success of their tie-up in Uttar Pradesh in the recent Lok Sabha polls, the Congress and the Samajwadi Party (SP) are ready to walk the extra mile and continue their bonhomie in the coming days, aiming to become “a force and a stronger Opposition” against the BJP.
