With the CPI announcing senior leader Annie Raja as its candidate from the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat, currently represented by Rahul Gandhi, the question of a constituency for the Congress leader has resurfaced.
Lurching from crisis to crisis, the Opposition INDIA alliance seemed to have finally got a breather over the week as some of its key partners, including the Congress, Samajwadi Party (SP) and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), sealed their seat-sharing deals for the Lok Sabha polls in several states after weeks of tense negotiations and hard bargaining. The alliance has yet to get their act together in crucial states like West Bengal and Maharashtra though, where its constituents continue to be on a collision course. All these happenings made it to the front pages of the Urdu dailies as they step up their coverage of the grand electoral battle round the corner.
The extended saga of the Opposition INDIA bloc’s seat-sharing talks in Uttar Pradesh, that saw the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) switch sides to the NDA and senior partner Samajwadi Party (SP) announce its candidates before its seat-sharing deal with the Congress was concluded, was finally sealed last week.
All eyes will be on the Rajya Sabha polls in the BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh and the Congress-ruled Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka Tuesday, where altogether three seats are set for a cliffhanger that may involve cross-voting.
Four days after his party sealed a seat-sharing pact with the Congress, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday joined Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Agra. Both leaders addressed the gathering, which included students and job aspirants, targeting the BJP governments at the Centre and the state.
Seven years after they joined forces, “UP ke ladke (boys of UP)” Akhilesh Yadav and Rahul Gandhi reunited again in Agra on Sunday during the Congress’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. Flanked by Rahul and Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, the presence of Samajwadi Party (SP) president at the event brought back memories of 2017 when they campaigned from an improvised vehicle, the Uttar Pradesh Vijay Rath, for the Assembly polls.
With the Lok Sabha elections inching closer, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) has trouble in its hands as party MPs believe their re-election chances are in jeopardy over the party’s decision not to join any of the alliances in Uttar Pradesh and its general absence from the buzz around the coming elections.
Days after Congress leaders Faisel Patel and Mumtaz Patel expressed disappointment for losing Bharuch seat to AAP under the party's seat sharing aggreement for Lok Sabha polls, Bhartiya Janata Party is claiming the move to be ‘Rahul Gandhi’s attempt to erase the legacy' of late Ahmed Patel whose family continues to enjoy significant influence in Bharuch.
