[ad_1] GG News Bureau Uttar Pradesh, 23rd November. As the BJP took a significant lead on six seats in the Uttar Pradesh bypolls on Saturday, state Congress President Ajay Rai leveled serious accusations against the Yogi Adityanath-led government. Rai alleged that the ruling government had used state machinery, including the police, to influence the outcome of the elections, which were conducted in nine constituencies across the state. Rai strongly criticized the electoral process, claiming that voters were intimidated and threatened during the bypolls. “It was already decided in Uttar Pradesh that the government was fighting the elections with the help of its machinery and police to win the elections. The result of that has come out… All the machineries, and police administration was deployed, voters were intimidated and threatened. This is a complete murder of democracy,” Rai said. Rai also referred to the political climate in Jharkhand, where the INDIA alliance had secured a lead in the state. He credited the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) government in Jharkhand for its good governance, claiming that the public was angered by BJP’s attempts to break the unity of local leaders using “money and muscle power.” Meanwhile, Tej Pratap Singh Yadav, the Samajwadi Party (SP) candidate from the Karhal Assembly seat, echoed similar sentiments, accusing the administration of abusing its power during the by-elections. Yadav alleged that people in the Meerapur and Kundarki constituencies were harassed, with BJP-backed officials exerting undue pressure on voters. “The way the administration abused power and constantly harassed our people, our activists, and the people here, we contested the elections very strongly, and we hope that we will win with a good margin,” Yadav said, adding that viral videos from election day exposed the undue influence of the police in BJP’s favor. By 2:20 PM, the Election Commission of India reported that the BJP was leading in six seats: Kundarki, Ghaziabad, Khair, Phulpur, Katehari, and Majhawan. The Samajwadi Party (SP) was leading in two seats: Sishamau and Karhal, while Jayant Chaudhary’s Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) led in the Meerapur seat. The by-polls, which were held across 48 assembly seats and two Lok Sabha seats in 15 states, have been closely watched, with high-profile contests in Uttar Pradesh and Wayanad, Kerala, where Priyanka Gandhi Vadra made her electoral debut.   The post Congress Accuses Yogi Government of Using Machinery in Uttar Pradesh By-Elections as BJP Leads on Six Seats appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.

Uttarakhand Bypoll Analysis: BJP Admits Mistakes in Ticket Distribution

In a surprising turn of events, the recent bypolls in Uttarakhand saw the Congress clinching victory in both Assembly seats, dealing a setback to the ruling BJP. Mahendra Bhatt, the BJP state president, acknowledged that fielding turncoat leaders from other parties was a strategic error that contributed to these losses.

Analysis of Bypoll Results

Despite its resounding victory in the general elections earlier this year and its recent win in the 2022 Assembly polls, the BJP faltered in the bypolls. The party lost the Manglaur seat, historically challenging for them, and the religiously significant Badrinath seat, where they had previously held a strong position.

Mahendra Bhatt, reflecting on the outcomes, stated, “In Manglaur, where historically we have struggled, we lost by just 422 votes… In Badrinath, the contest was close throughout, with margins as slim as 200–300 votes per round. We need to thoroughly assess our strategy moving forward.”

Admission of Mistakes

One significant factor Bhatt highlighted was the decision to award tickets to leaders who had recently switched allegiance from the Congress. “During the Lok Sabha elections, we assured these leaders of tickets for the Assembly seats. In hindsight, this decision was a mistake,” Bhatt admitted during a state working committee meeting.

He further pledged to review these decisions and rectify any errors in future electoral strategies. Bhatt emphasized, “I am committed to reclaiming Badrinath for the BJP soon.”

Key Contestants and Their Backgrounds

The Badrinath bypoll saw Rajendra Singh Bhandari, a three-time Congress MLA who joined BJP earlier this year, losing to Congress’s Lakhpat Singh Butola by 5,224 votes. This loss is seen as a significant shift in the political landscape of Garhwal, where BJP previously held all 14 Assembly segments.

In Manglaur, Kartar Singh Bhadana, a recent BJP entrant from BSP and brother of noted politician Avtar Singh Bhadana, lost to senior Congress leader Qazi Nizamuddin by a narrow margin of 422 votes. This seat, traditionally contested between Congress and BSP, showcased a competitive environment.

Conclusion

The bypoll results serve as a critical reminder to the BJP of the importance of candidate selection and strategic planning. As they navigate the fallout from these losses, the party aims to regroup and strengthen its position in Uttarakhand politics.

[ad_1] GG News Bureau Bengaluru, 23rd November. The Congress emerged victorious in all three assembly bypolls in Karnataka, dealing a blow to the BJP and JD(S) while reinforcing its position in the state. The results, declared on Saturday, saw Congress candidates defeating prominent rivals, including close family members of BJP and JD(S) stalwarts. In Shiggaon, Yasir Pathan defeated Bharath Bommai, son of former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai. Pathan’s win marks a significant upset in Bommai’s stronghold. In Channapatna, BJP turncoat CP Yogeshwara triumphed over JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy’s son with a massive margin. Congress’s Annapoorna Tukaram secured victory in Sandur, defeating BJP’s Bangara Hanumantha by 9,649 votes. Shivakumar Hails “People’s Mandate” Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar celebrated the victories, framing them as a rejection of opposition allegations and a sign of support for Congress’s governance. “This is a message from the people for what Basavaraj Bommai’s government failed to deliver. Only two things work: development and guarantees. The people have spoken, and this is just the beginning. We will return to power in 2028,” Shivakumar said. He further credited the success to Congress’s welfare initiatives, such as the Gruhalakshmi and Gruhajyothi schemes, which he said had a direct impact on people’s lives. “We are spending ₹55,000 crore for development and the welfare of the people. This victory is proof that these initiatives resonate with the masses,” he added. A Blow to the BJP and JD(S) Shivakumar didn’t hold back from taking jabs at the BJP and JD(S), asserting that their attempts to target the Congress leadership had backfired. “Kamala (the BJP’s lotus symbol) should stay in the lake, and the JD(S) plough belongs in the field. The people have rejected the baseless allegations made against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and other Congress leaders,” he quipped. The loss in Shiggaon is particularly significant for the BJP, as Basavaraj Bommai had earlier expressed confidence in retaining the seat, citing his 36,000-vote margin from the last election. Meanwhile, JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy had campaigned aggressively in Channapatna to secure a win for his son, but the result was a stark setback for the party. The Karnataka bypoll results come amid the announcement of assembly election results in Maharashtra and Jharkhand, as well as bypolls across 48 assembly seats and two Lok Sabha constituencies in 15 states. Early trends in Karnataka had initially shown a lead for the BJP in Shiggaon, but the Congress gained momentum as counting progressed. With this sweep, the Congress not only cements its grip on Karnataka but also sends a signal to the BJP-led NDA and JD(S) alliance ahead of future electoral battles in the state.   The post Congress Wins All Three Karnataka Bypolls, DK Shivakumar Calls It “A Message From the People appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.
