Diminished INDIA alliance strength after largest Parliament suspensions in country's history

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 19 December 2023
The Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha have expelled and suspended several MPs, resulting in minimal opposition for the ruling BJP party. The majority of the suspended MPs belong to the INDIA alliance, a coalition of opposition parties. This move has significantly reduced the strength of the opposition in both houses of Parliament. The suspended MPs include prominent figures such as Shashi Tharoor, Karti Chidambaram, Supriya Sule, Dimple Yadav, and Farooq Abdullah. The opposition has criticized the government for suspending MPs to pass bills without debate.

LS Polls 2024 Results: Shashi Tharoor Celebrates Big Win In Thiruvananthapuram, Distribute Sweets

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor appears to be headed for a fourth consecutive term from Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha constituency. With only around 50,000 votes left to be counted, Tharoor has amassed a sizable lead of 11,281 votes over BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar. After trailing by over 20,000 votes behind Chandrasekhar, Tharoor has regained the lead with a margin of over 11,000 votes. During the initial hours of counting, the fight between Chandrasekhar and Tharoor was neck-and-neck with each taking a lead of a few thousand votes. By noon, the BJP leader gained a healthy lead of around 24,000 votes over Tharoor, who is hoping to win a fourth time from Thiruvananthapuram LS seat. However, more than an hour later, Tharoor took back the lead from Chandrasekhar. #loksabharesult #ShashiTharoor #INDIA #Congress #BJP #RahulGandhi #loksabharesult2024 #loksabharesultlive #electionresults2024 #electionresultslive #liveelectionresult #electionresults2024live #electionresultsanalysis #liveelectionresult2024 #electionresultsnow #electionresult #electionresulttoday #2024elections #2024loksabhaelection2024 #2024electionresult #chunavresult #loksabhaelection2024 #loksabha2024 #bjp #congress #pmmodi #narendramodi #rahulgandhi #electionbreaking #electionnews #election2024 ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.194~
