[ad_1] GG News Bureau Jamshedpur, 23rd November. The political fate of several prominent leaders, including Congress’s Ajoy Kumar and Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, is set to be determined as results of the Jharkhand Assembly elections unfold. After 12 of 21 rounds of counting, Congress candidate Ajoy Kumar is trailing BJP’s Purnima Das Sahu by a significant margin of over 27,000 votes in the high-profile Jamshedpur East Assembly seat. Key Contest: Ajoy Kumar vs. Purnima Das Sahu Ajoy Kumar, a former IPS officer and Congress leader, has been a household name in Jamshedpur since his tenure as the city’s SP. Known for his work as an encounter specialist and a former MP for Jamshedpur in the 15th Lok Sabha, Kumar has also held several key roles in the Congress, including serving as the AICC in charge of four states and as a National Spokesperson. His opponent, BJP’s Purnima Das Sahu, is the daughter-in-law of Raghubar Das, the former Jharkhand Chief Minister and current Governor of Odisha. The BJP has a stronghold in the Jamshedpur East constituency, with Raghubar Das having represented the seat for nearly two decades until his defeat in 2019 by independent candidate Saryu Roy. Jamshedpur East, known as Jharkhand’s industrial hub and home to Tata Steel, has been a bastion for the BJP-led NDA. However, the 2019 assembly election saw a dramatic shift when Saryu Roy defeated Raghubar Das, signaling cracks in the BJP’s dominance. In the current election, the BJP appears poised to reclaim its stronghold, with Purnima Das Sahu capitalizing on the constituency’s legacy and her family’s political influence. Other Key Battles in Jharkhand In Dhanwar, BJP’s Babulal Marandi is leading against JMM’s Nijamuddin Ansari, adding to the BJP’s strong performance in the state. As counting continues, Ajoy Kumar faces an uphill battle to close the widening gap. His campaign has emphasized his administrative credentials and promises of inclusive development. However, the BJP’s organizational strength and Purnima Sahu’s strategic campaigning have given the saffron party a decisive edge in Jamshedpur East. With the counting still underway, the final results will reveal whether Congress can stage a comeback in one of the most-watched seats in Jharkhand or if the BJP reasserts its dominance in this industrial heartland.   The post Congress’s Ajoy Kumar Trails BJP’s Purnima Sahu by Over 27,000 Votes in Jamshedpur East After 12 Rounds of Counting appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.

Cong leader Ajoy Kumar says Droupadi Murmu represents 'evil philosophy of India', BJP hits back

Jul 13, 2022 10:16 IST New Delhi , July 13 (Always First): Congress leader Ajoy Kumar has kicked off a controversy, saying that NDA's presidential candidate Droupadi Murmu represents a "very evil philosophy of India" and should not be made a "symbol of Adivasi", a remark which drew sharp reaction from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Speaking to ANI on Tuesday, the Congress leader alleged that the condition of the Scheduled Castes has become "worse". Congress-led Opposition parties former union minister Yashwant Sinha has fielded against Murmu for the presidential elections on July 18. "It's not about Droupadi Murmu. Yashwant Sinha is also a good candidate and Murmu is also a decent person. But she represents a very evil philosophy of India. We should not make her a symbol of 'Adivasi'. We have President Ram Nath Kovind, Hathras happened. Has he said a word? The condition of Scheduled Castes has become worse," Kumar said. If elected, Droupadi Murmu will be the first tribal President of India and the country's second female President. She was the first woman governor of Jharkhand (from 2015 to 2021). Born in a poor tribal family in a village of Mayurbhanj, a backward district in Odisha, Murmu completed her studies despite challenging circumstances. Calling the presidential elections a "fight for the soul of the nation", the Congress leader said that all like-minded parties should vote for the Opposition candidate Yashwant Sinha. "Creating symbols and fooling the people of India is what the Modi government is all about. This is a fight for the soul of the nation and all like-minded parties should vote for Yashwant Sinha," he said. Droupadi Murmu was a national executive member of BJP's ST Morcha from 2013 to 2015 and served as BJP district chief of Mayurbhanj (West) in 2010 and 2013. Between 2006 and 2009, she was chief of BJP's ST Morcha in Odisha. She was a member of the national executive of BJP ST Morcha from 2002 to 2009. Hitting back at Kumar, BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala said Congress has insulted Murmu. Read the full article

[ad_1] Paromita Das GG News Bureau New Delhi, 13th November. Bharat’s democratic landscape is abuzz as the first phase of assembly elections in Jharkhand, a high-stakes by-election in Kerala’s Wayanad, and 33 bypolls across 11 states are set to begin. With significant candidates and strategic shifts, the outcome of these elections will offer crucial insights into party strengths, voter sentiments, and the political momentum leading up to the 2024 general elections. Jharkhand’s Assembly Elections: A Battle of Regional Powerhouses Jharkhand, a state often marked by political volatility, begins its two-phase assembly election on November 13, with 43 constituencies in contention. The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is determined to reclaim power from the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-led coalition. Among the prominent candidates are former Chief Minister and BJP candidate Champai Soren, Congress leaders Ajoy Kumar and Banna Gupta, and JMM’s Rajya Sabha MP Mahua Maji, highlighting the fierce competition between established leaders. The stakes are high in constituencies like Seraikella, where Champai Soren seeks to regain influence, and in Jamshedpur East, where Congress’s Ajoy Kumar faces Purnima Das Sahu, who carries the legacy of former Chief Minister Raghubar Das. In Jamshedpur West, Congress leader Banna Gupta is pitted against JD(U) leader Saryu Roy, a politician who famously defeated Raghubar Das in the previous election. This race will be a litmus test for the BJP, which is vying to reassert itself after a challenging political tenure in Jharkhand. Security arrangements are extensive, with 200 companies of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) deployed to ensure smooth polling. Sensitive booths across 31 constituencies have been flagged, with special monitoring to safeguard the integrity of the electoral process. Jharkhand has a history of closely contested elections, and the outcomes here will likely impact the regional political landscape profoundly. Wayanad’s Parliamentary Bypoll: Priyanka Gandhi’s Debut in Rahul Gandhi’s Stronghold The Wayanad parliamentary bypoll in Kerala is capturing national attention as Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra makes her electoral debut from a seat that has traditionally been a Congress bastion. Priyanka’s candidacy follows her brother Rahul Gandhi’s decision to retain his Raebareli seat, leaving Wayanad open for new leadership. Rahul, the current Leader of Opposition, has been actively campaigning in support of his sister, signaling Congress’s intention to solidify its foothold in Kerala. Priyanka Gandhi faces a formidable lineup, including Satyan Mokeri of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and Navya Haridas of the BJP. Kerala remains a challenging landscape for the BJP, where the Congress and Left Front traditionally dominate. However, with national support and Priyanka’s campaign efforts, Congress is determined to retain its grip on Wayanad, an outcome that would reinforce its political base in South Bharat. Bypolls Across 11 States: Testing Grounds for National and Regional Parties Alongside Jharkhand and Wayanad, by-elections are set to take place in 33 assembly seats across 11 states, including key constituencies in Rajasthan, West Bengal, and Assam. These bypolls provide valuable testing grounds for both national and regional parties, revealing voter sentiment ahead of crucial assembly elections in 2024. In Rajasthan, where seven assembly seats are up for grabs, the by-elections will indicate whether the Congress-led state government retains public favor amid criticisms over governance issues. In West Bengal, where six seats are contested, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) is eager to reaffirm its dominance despite facing resistance from the BJP, which has made significant gains in the state over recent years. Assam’s five bypoll seats similarly serve as an important battleground, with both BJP and Congress vying for influence in the region. The outcome of these by-elections

holds significant implications not only for individual states but also for the broader political landscape. The BJP is keen to demonstrate its ability to retain and expand its voter base, while Congress is working to stage a comeback in regions where it has seen dwindling support. Key Issues and Challenges Shaping the Election The assembly elections and bypolls touch on diverse issues that reflect the unique socio-political landscape of each region. In Jharkhand, the primary issues include unemployment, development, and resource allocation, with tribal representation and local economic conditions heavily influencing voter decisions. Kerala’s Wayanad election resonates with concerns over environmental protection, sustainable development, and educational infrastructure, issues that Priyanka Gandhi has vowed to address in her campaign. In Rajasthan and West Bengal, governance effectiveness and regional autonomy are focal points, particularly in light of each state’s distinct political dynamics. For BJP and Congress alike, these elections are a chance to demonstrate their commitment to local development and to make inroads in states dominated by regional players. Security and Infrastructure: Ensuring a Smooth Polling Process Given the scale of these elections, authorities have implemented robust security measures, especially in regions deemed sensitive. In Jharkhand, for instance, returning officers have ensured that all polling stations are equipped with basic facilities, including drinking water, sanitation, and webcasting for transparency. CAPF deployments at sensitive booths in Jharkhand and tight security measures in other states underscore the Election Commission’s commitment to maintaining order and fairness. Conclusion: A Glimpse into Bharat’s Political Future As voters cast their ballots in Jharkhand, Wayanad, and bypolls across Bharat, these elections serve as a snapshot of the nation’s political sentiments. The results will gauge the strength of the BJP, which seeks to retain influence, and the Congress, which is making strategic moves to reclaim its presence. Priyanka Gandhi’s debut in Wayanad represents Congress’s focus on consolidating its base, while Jharkhand’s assembly polls will reveal whether regional alliances or national parties hold sway. The by-elections across multiple states will also offer early indicators of voter alignment ahead of 2024, where national security, economic growth, and state governance will be central campaign issues. The stakes are high, and these elections not only highlight the dynamic nature of Bharat’s democracy but also underscore the evolving challenges and opportunities faced by both national and regional parties.   The post Wayanad to Jharkhand: Priyanka’s Debut and Fierce Assembly Bypolls Set the Stage for Bharat’s Future appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.

‘Who’s next?’: Anxiety in Cong after Pilot revolt, all eyes on Rahul brigade

NEW DELHI: After rebellions by Jyotiraditya Scindia in Madhya Pradesh and Sachin Pilot in Rajasthan, the focus is now on Rahul Gandhi‘s “youth brigade” and those whom he had given key responsibilities when he was Congress president. There is apprehension prevailing in the rank and file of the Congress after the happenings in Rajasthan, where Pilot has declared open rebellion against the Ashok Gehlot government, sources said. Almost everyone in the party has just one question on their mind, “who next”, they said. “Obviously we are forced to think that when leaders who have been given a lot of responsibilities in a short span of time and whose capabilities the party was confident of using going forward, are not satisfied, then definitely something is wrong,” a member of the Congress Working Committee (CWC) told ‘PTI-Bhasha’ on the condition of anonymity. The CWC is the highest decision making body of the Congress. Pilot and Scindia are the latest additions to the list of leaders who have raised the flag of rebellion. In the Congress, they were earlier known as members of the “Rahul brigade”, the sources said. Other leaders who were part of this brigade included former Congress Haryana unit president Ashok Tanwar, former Madhya Pradesh unit chief Arun Yadav, former Mumbai chiefs Milind Deora and Sanjay Nirupam, former Punjab Congress president Pratap Singh Bajwa, former Jharkhand unit president Ajoy Kumar and former Karnataka chief Dinesh Gundu Rao, they said. The sources said Madhusudhan Mistry, who has been the in charge of Uttar Pradesh, former Uttar Pradesh unit president Raj Babbar and AICC general secretary in charge Rajasthan Avinash Pande, Mohan Prakash and Deepak Babaria, are also part of the group which was seen as having the backing of Rahul Gandhi. The Congress admitted that resentment had increased with the “Rahul brigade” getting more importance in the party, they said. The sources said most of them showed rebellious attitude on losing their posts and alleged that most of them did not live up to the responsibility given to them and continued to encourage factionalism in the party. Another senior Congress leader told PTI Bhasha, “Leaders who are going against the party after getting a lot in the Congress are cheating themselves. Everyone should understand that this is the time to not ask from the party, but to give back to it.” However, former Haryana Congress chief Tanwar said that the argument that leaders whom Gandhi gave responsibilities did not live up to expectations, does not hold. “It is because of Pilot, a young leader, that in the Rajasthan assembly elections, the Congress managed to reach 100 seats from 21. The hard work of the youth team in Haryana resulted in more than 30 seats. If the young leaders would have been given proper opportunity, the party’s situation would have been different,” he said. However, a political expert said that the “generational conflict” in the Congress was also a major reason that leaders of Gandhi’s choice could not assert themselves in the party and some of them revolted. Director at the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies Sanjay Kumar said, “There has been a raging generational conflict within the Congress in the last few years. While older leaders are trying to retain their place, younger leaders, especially those considered close to Rahul, insist on change and find themselves neglected in the current system. This is the reason for rebellion in some places. ” However, 72-year-old Harish Rawat, Congress general secretary and former Uttarakhand chief minister, refused to believe that there is any generational conflict within the party. “The situation which is seen is due to the attack on democracy by the BJP. Sadly, due to their ambition, some people of ours got caught in their trap. It would have been better that if such leaders wanted any justice, they should have tried for it within the party itself,” he said. Rahul Gandhi resigned as Congress president after the party’s 2019 Lok Sabha poll debacle and Sonia Gandhi was installed as interim chief on August 10 by the CWC, the party’s highest decision-making body.
