The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday launched its second listing of 72 candidates for Lok Sabha elections. Among the notable candidates are Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal, who will probably be contesting from Mumbai North, Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari from his conventional constituency Nagpur, former Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar from Karnal, Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur from Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh, former Uttarakhand CM trivendra Singh Rawat from Haridwar and former Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai from Haveri. Others embrace Pankaja Munde from Beed, Maharashtra and social gathering media cell chief Anil Baluni from Garhwal, Uttarakhand.
In Delhi, BJP has fielded Harsh Malhotra from East Delhi changing ex-cricketer Gautam Gambhir, whereas Yogendra Chandolia will contest from North-west Delhi changing Hansraj Hans. The shocking half is that BJP introduced the names of its 20 candidates from Maharashtra, even though the ultimate seat sharing with Shiv Sena (Shinde) and NCP(Ajit) is but to be formally introduced. BJP goes to contest on 31 seats, which SS (Shinde) will contest on 13 and NCP(Ajit) will contest on 4 seats. The message is kind of clear from BJP’s second listing.
Firstly, MPs who made controversial statements, or created controversy inflicting embarrassment to the social gathering, have didn’t get tickets. For instance, Pratap Simha from Mysore. It was he who procured Lok Sabha entry tickets for individuals who jumped from the guests’ gallery and threw smoke bomb contained in the House. Pankaja Munde was given ticket and Pritam Munde was denied ticket for creating controversy. Secondly, senior social gathering leaders like Nitin Gadkari and Piyush Goyal got due respect and so they got nominations from seats of their very own selection. No prime chief was disadvantaged of ticket, regardless of baseless speculations being circulated in media.
Thirdly, the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections will probably be fought within the identify and achievements of Narendra Modi. That is why new faces have been fielded in lots of constituencies. This was the explanation why six out of seven Lok Sabha MPs from Delhi didn’t get tickets this time, besides Manoj Tiwari. In Gujarat, ten out of twenty-two candidates are new faces. Meanwhile, work is happening at a quick tempo to stitch up alliances in Bihar, Tamil Nadu and Odisha. Former AIADMK chief and late Jayalalithaa’s shut aide Sasikala’s nephew T T V Dhinakaran’s social gathering Anna Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) has joined BJP-led NDA. BJP is in talks with ex-CM O. Panneerselvam and PMK (Pattali Makkal Katchi) for an alliance in Tamil Nadu. There is risk of an alliance between Naveen Patnaik’s Biju Janata Dal and BJP in Odisha. In Bihar, BJP has determined to go away 5 seats for Chirag Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party. The battle in Bihar seems to be fascinating with Congress demanding 15 seats from its ally RJD, and Asaduddin Owaisi’s AIMIM social gathering deciding to contest 11 seats.
