PM Modi Visits Varanasi: Ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, the PM’s visit is seen as an effort to strengthen BJP’s position among its OBC and Dalit support base.
BJP, which won 62 seats in the 2019 LS elections in UP, is eyeing to maximise its tally in the state by crossing 70. To achieve that goal, BSP vote bank becomes crucial for the party. SCs account for 20% of the state's population and BSP has more or less managed to hold on to this vote bank. However, in the 2022 assembly elections, BSP lost its vote share from around 19.43% in 2019 Lok Sabha to 13%.
In the lead-up to Madhya Pradesh's single-phase polls on November 17, political fervor intensifies. The BJP and Congress vie for crucial seats, sparking tensions and rebellions. Notable contests include Gwalior East, where BJP's candidate switch draws ire; Chachoda, where Digvijaya Singh's brother faces discontent; and Bhopal North, as Congress grapples with rebel expulsions. Badnawar witnesses a clash of ex-rivals, while Bhopal Central sets the stage for a closely watched battle.
