Expect BJP to be single-largest party, but its tally can be cut to stop it from forming government: Congress leader Shashi Tharoor

IndiaTimes Sunday, 14 January 2024
According to Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, the BJP is anticipated to be the largest party in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. However, Tharoor suggests that the party's potential allies might withdraw support if the BJP's tally decreases, leading them to back the opposition alliance. Tharoor made these remarks during the Kerala Literature Festival on Saturday. He also noted that while some states may witness collaboration among opposition parties with a unified candidate against the BJP, other states might have two or three candidates, leaving voters to decide who they believe would best represent them.

Samajwadi Cadre's Pitch Dimple Yadav for PM as Mainpuri Gears Up for Polls Oneindia

In the heart of Uttar Pradesh's Mainpuri, the stronghold of the Samajwadi Party, the party's cadre is rallying behind their local MP and party stalwart, Dimple Yadav, with an ambitious call – to see her as the next Prime Minister of India. As the region gears up for polling on May 7, the voices on the ground paint a picture of disillusionment with the incumbent BJP government, which they believe has failed to live up to its promises. The party workers allege that the ruling dispensation has neglected the needs and aspirations of the people, and they see Dimple Yadav as a beacon of hope – a leader who understands the grassroots issues and can steer the nation towards progress. With fervent support from the party's base, the Samajwadi Party is gearing up for a fierce battle, aiming to regain its foothold in the state and potentially propel Dimple Yadav to the national stage. #LokSabhaElections #LokSabhaPolls #Elections2024 #LokSabhaElections2024 #LSPolls2024 ~PR.152~PR.282~ED.103~HT.98~##~
