"Today in Politics: PM Modi in Maharashtra, Shah and Rahul Gandhi in Odisha"

Today marks another eventful day in Indian politics as leaders from various parties embark on campaign trails and political engagements across the country.

PM Modi’s Campaign Trail: 

After a powerful show of strength during his nomination in Varanasi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi shifts his focus to Maharashtra. Scheduled to address rallies in Dindori, Kalyan, and Ghatkopar within the Mumbai North East Lok Sabha constituencies, Modi’s campaign continues ahead of the fifth phase of polling on May 20. Notably, this comes in the wake of a tragic incident in Ghatkopar, where an illegal hoarding collapse claimed lives and left many injured.

Amit Shah’s Itinerary: 

Union Home Minister Amit Shah begins his day with a rally in Hooghly, West Bengal, before heading to Odisha. Upon reaching Bhubaneswar, Shah will address public meetings in Sorada and Boudh, followed by a roadshow in Cuttack. However, reports suggest that Rourkela and Kantabanji have been omitted from his schedule, raising speculations.

Rahul Gandhi’s Engagement:

 Meanwhile, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi gears up for a bike rally in Odisha’s Bolangir, while party president Mallikarjun Kharge is anticipated to host a joint press conference with Arvind Kejriwal and Akhilesh Yadav in Lucknow. The collaborative effort signifies a strategic move towards strengthening alliances and garnering support.

AAP’s Campaign Plans: 

Arvind Kejriwal, the national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party, is set to campaign across multiple states, starting with Lucknow on May 15, followed by Jamshedpur and Mumbai. The AAP aims to bolster support for INDIA bloc candidates through targeted campaigns and engagements.

Haryana Cabinet Meeting: 

Amidst the ongoing political turmoil in Haryana, the Nayab Singh Saini-led government has convened a Cabinet meeting. Expected to unveil and approve the excise policy for 2024–25, speculations also arise regarding the recommendation for convening an Assembly session amidst the evolving political landscape.

As the political landscape continues to evolve and electoral fervor intensifies, these developments underscore the significance of strategic campaigns, alliance-building, and governance amidst challenges and opportunities.
