BJP goes easy over age, turns to warhorses to retain power in MP

IndiaTimes Monday, 13 November 2023
The saffron party seems to have gone a bit easy over age this time by fielding 14 candidates who are 70-plus, with the oldest being 80. In contrast, the opposition Congress has fielded nine septuagenarians for the November 17 polls. According to political observers, BJP's move to go with warhorses could be the fallout of its drubbing in the Karnataka elections where it apparently picked younger candidates over old-timers like former chief minister Jagadish Shettar (67) and ex-deputy CM KS Eshwarappa, then 74.

Hamas Mocks ‘Delusional’ Netanyahu As Israel PM Defends ‘War With Iran,’ Urges Arms At U.S Congress

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has dismissed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s vision for a “future” Gaza Strip, excluding the resistance group from governance, as mere “delusions.” The remarks came in a statement from Hamas on Wednesday, following Netanyahu's speech to the US Congress. In his address, Netanyahu outlined a self-proclaimed vision for Gaza, claiming the Israeli regime aimed to “eliminate” Hamas through an ongoing military campaign. This conflict, which began on October 7, has resulted in the deaths of at least 39,670 Palestinians, predominantly women and children, without achieving the stated goal of defeating the resistance. #Hamas #Netanyahu #HamasSlamsNetanyahu #NetanyahuUSCongress #IsraelPM #DelusionalNetanyahu #WarWithIran #USCongress #ArmsForIsrael #MiddleEastConflict #HamasResponse #NetanyahuSpeech #IsraeliPolitics #GazaConflict #IranTensions #CongressAddress #PoliticalDrama
