Uttar Pradesh is headed for the February 27 Rajya Sabha elections to fill the 10 seats that are falling vacant, with the two largest parties, the ruling BJP and the principal Opposition Samajwadi Party (SP), appearing to have enough members in the state Assembly to elect seven and three Rajya Sabha MPs, respectively.
The Uttar Pradesh leg of senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra will be curtailed by a few days, with party insiders saying the march is likely to culminate at least a week earlier than planned.
A first-time MP from Moradabad of the Samajwadi Party and a practising surgeon, Dr S T Hasan, 65, went further than his party has gone on the Gyanvapi mosque issue in his speech in Parliament on February 5, when he said: “The Supreme Court gave a verdict and the Ram Temple issue was resolved. It was a verdict and not justice, but it was resolved. Now the issue of another mosque has come up… Gyanvapi… then there will be Mathura… then Taj Mahal, Qutub Minar and Delhi’s Jama Masjid. When people make claims on 3,000 mosques, we have to think about what we are giving to our next generations, love or hate.” Hasan speaks to The Indian Express about claims on Muslim religious places, problems in the INDIA coalition for the Lok Sabha polls, and other issues.
Amidst the likely return of the Janata Dal (United)’s Nitish Kumar to the BJP and seat-sharing troubles in West Bengal and Punjab,the INDIA bloc found one bright spot on Saturday. Samajwadi Party (SP) President Akhilesh Yadav announced that his party was giving 11 Lok Sabha to the Congress in the coming polls.
The Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD), both members of the Opposition INDIA bloc, on Friday made a crucial announcement on seat-sharing negotiations. The RLD, the parties decided, would contest seven of Uttar Pradesh’s 80 Lok Sabha seats in the coming elections. Notably, the RLD has never won more than five parliamentary seats in UP in a single election.
The market at Kurawali, a small town in Mainpuri district of Uttar Pradesh, is being decked with lights and Shri Ram flags. Ajaypal Singh, 28, from Ashokpur Village adjacent to the town, is beaming with excitement.
In another sign of the frayed ties between the two INDIA allies amidst seat negotiations in Uttar Pradesh, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav Wednesday indicated that he might not participate in Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, saying that “the Congress and BJP don’t invite me for their programmes”.
While Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati made it clear on Monday, while addressing a press conference on her 68th birthday, that she will continue to lead the party, her nephew Akash Anand has been increasingly making his mark in the party, mainly by ensuring that it becomes more tech-savvy.
