  • Phase-3 Campaigning Ends; Fate Of Over 1300 Candidates From 93 Lok Sabha Seats To Be Sealed On May 7; Check Key Candidates |

    Lok Sabha Chunav 2024: In the third and another crucial phase for the Lok Sabha elections 2024, a total of 93 seats are going to the polls. While a total of 94 seats was to go to the polls in the phase 3, voting was not needed for Surat as the BJP candidate got elected unopposed. However, the Betul seat of Madhya Pradesh is going to polls in the third phase after polling was earlier postponed due to death of a candidate. Also, the voting for the Anantnag-Rajouri seat was also postponed to May 26, thus, 93 seats are up for grab in this phase. The 93 seats are spread across 10 states and 1 union territory.

    Key Poll Planks

    In the third phase the BJP-led NDA and the INDIA bloc of Congress fiercely attacked each other making muslim reservations, constitution and sexual harassment charges against JD(S) leader Prajwal Revanna issues to woo the voters. While the Congress accused the BJP of favouring a sexual abuse offender and trying to change the constituion, the saffron party has slammed the Congress for providing religion-based reservation to Muslims from the quota of SC/ST/OBCs. 

    High-Stakes For BJP

    The stakes are significantly high for the BJP in this phase because the party had in 2019 won majority of these seats including clean sweep in Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh. On the other hand, Congress is looking to make a big dent in these seats by promising several freebies and financial aids.

    A total of 25 (out of 26) seats in Gujarat, 11 seats in Maharashtra, 10 seats in Uttar Pradesh, remaining 14 of the 28 in Karnataka, seven in Chhattisgarh, eight in Madhya Pradesh, five in Bihar, four each in Assam and West Bengal, and all two in Goa are going to the polls in Phase 3 on May 7. The Union Territories of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu (2 seats) will also go to polls in the third phase.

    Of the over 1300 candidates, the bigwigs include Union ministers Amit Shah from Gandhinagar, Jyotiraditya Scindia from Guna, Mansukh Mandaviya from Porbandar, Parshottam Rupala from Rajkot, Pralhad Joshi from Dharwad, SP Singh Baghel from Agra, Shivraj Singh Chouhan from Vidisha, Digvijaya Singh from Rajgarh, Basavaraj Bommai from Haveri, Badruddin Ajmal from Dhubri, Akhilesh Yadav from Kannauj, Dimple Yadav from Mainpuri, Ram Gopal Yadav’s son Akshaya Yadav from Firozabad, Aditya Yadav from Budaun, as well as Supriya Sule and Sunetra Pawar from Baramati.

  • Ex-Congress Indore Nominee Who Joined BJP Denied Bail In 17-Year-Old Murder Case |

    An Indore sessions court on Saturday denied BJP politician Akshay Kanti Bam and his father anticipatory bail on Friday in an attempt-murder case involving a 17-year-old, citing no possibility the accused would be taken into custody. In a major setback for the Congress in Indore, its candidate Akshay Kanti Bam withdrew from the race on April 29, the deadline for withdrawal of nominations, and joined the BJP.

    After considering both parties’ submissions, Additional Sessions Judge Vinod Kumar Sharma dismissed Bam and his father Kantilal’s application for anticipatory bail. “There is no apprehension of arrest of the accused in this case, therefore, the provisions of Section 438 CrPC are not applicable,” the judge said.”  

    The Additional Sessions Judge also said that in the current circumstances of the case, the accused should appear in court and participate in the advance proceedings, and if necessary, they can file an application for regular bail in the case under Section 307 (attempt to murder) of the Indian Penal Code. 

    A first class judicial magistrate (JMFC) of Indore had on April 24 ordered the addition of Section 307 (attempt to murder) of the Indian Penal Code in the FIR lodged against Bam and his father for assaulting a man 17 years ago over a land dispute, on the plea of the victim’s side. The magistrate had also ordered the father-son duo to appear before the sessions court on May 10.

    Barely five days after this order, Bam took the step of withdrawing his name as the Congress candidate from Indore. The application, on which Bam’s legal troubles have increased, was filed on April 5, just 13 days after his candidature was announced as the Congress candidate from Indore on March 23. 

    According to police officials, a FIR was filed against Bam, his father Kantilal, and others on October 4, 2007, for attacking a man named Yunus Patel over a land dispute. The FIR was filed under sections 294 (obscenity), 323 (voluntarily causing harm), 506 (criminal intimidation), and other relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code, he stated. 

    Patel claims that during the incident, Satvir Singh, the operator of a security agency, fired at him with a 12-bore gun at the request of Akshay’s father, Kantilal. Satvir Singh, the accused, later died.

  • ‘Congress Wants Islamisation Of India’: Yogi Adityanath Slams Religion-Based Reservation |

    Amid the ongoing furore over the implementation of the religion-based reservation in Karnataka by the Congress government, the BJP has sharpened its attack on the grand old party. While Prime Minister and senior BJP leader said that the Congress is snatching the rights of OBCs, SCs and STs, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and BJP leader Yogi Adityanath said that the grand old party wants Islamisation of India. Yogi Adityanath further alleged that Congress is planning to implement the ‘Sharia law’ in the country.

    Addressing a public rally in Amroha, Yogi said, “Congress has written in its manifesto about bringing personal laws for a particular community. Through this move, Congress aims to impose Sharia law, bringing a Taliban-style rule to India. This indicates that Congress and the INDI Alliance pose a threat to the Constitution crafted by Baba Saheb.”

    कांग्रेस का वक्तव्य बहुत दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण है।

    — Yogi Adityanath (मोदी का परिवार) (@myogiadityanath) April 25, 2024

    The Uttar Pradesh CM further said, “Whenever the people associated with the INDI alliance got the opportunity to come to power, they have made a despicable attempt to rob the rights of the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and backward caste people in the country as well as the rights of the poor.”

    Talking about the inheritance law, wealth distribution and former PM Dr Manmohan Singh’s 2006 speech related to minorities’ first claim on resources, Yogi Adityanath said that Congress wants to seize people’s property.  

    “The Congress and I.N.D.I alliance members betrayed the country by presenting a deceitful manifesto. While they promise to eradicate poverty, they are secretly planning to seize your property, as well as the jewellery of your daughters and mothers,” he said.

    After the first phase of voting on April 19, issues like wealth distribution, Muslim reservations and inheritance law have become key talking points from the BJP while the Congress is responding to this accusation by the Modi government.
