Lok Sabha Elections

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent accusation against the Congress, alleging plans to redistribute reservations along religious lines, has sparked significant public debate amidst the ongoing Lok Sabha Elections 2024.

Amid the election frenzy, Rahul, accompanied by Congress stalwarts Mallikarjun Kharge and Siddaramaiah, treated his followers to a fun-filled video posted on social media platform X. Rahul captioned the 2-minute, 17-second video:"A day campaigning in Karnataka. Some light, rapid-fire questions and some very distinguished company."

As per the affidavit, Congress’ Ambala candidate Varun Chaudhary has declared to be the owner of 900 gm of gold worth Rs 58 lakh. Varun, who is an MLA from Mullana, is the son of former Haryana Congress president Phool Chand Mullana.

The deadline for High-Security Registration Plates (HSRP) in Karnataka is May 31, with only about half of vehicles compliant. Election activities have slowed adoption. Officials hope for increased compliance after the May 7 polling, but any deadline extension may be postponed until after June 4 due to election rules. Booking HSRP plates is done online.

Rahul Gandhi, who was expected to contest and reclaim Amethi, was instead named as the candidate for Raebareli, the seat recently vacated by his mother Sonia Gandhi after her move to the Rajya Sabha.

In response to a post by actor Ranvir Shorey, Kasparov said, "I very much hope my little joke does not pass for advocacy or expertise in Indian politics!" He further explained, "But as an 'all-seeing monster with 1000 eyes,' as I was once described, I cannot fail to see a politician dabbling in my beloved game!"

The Shivamoga Lok Sabha constituency is witnessing an intense electoral battle. Incumbent BY Raghavendra of BJP, backed by his father's legacy and PM Modi, faces Congress's Geetha Shivarajkumar, leveraging her familial political and cinema ties. KS Eshwarappa, once a nominal contender, now emerges as a serious candidate with broadening support across community lines.

In the midst of India's fervent Lok Sabha Elections 2024, Faisal Abidi, a former Senator of Pakistan, has sparked controversy with his inflammatory statements regarding India's internal affairs and the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

The Prime Minister also stressed on Rahul Gandhi's attempt to evade a potential loss in Amethi, suggesting his move to Raebareli as a move of fear. "They ask everyone 'Daro Mat'. Today, I also ask them, 'Daro Mat, Bhago Mat'… (don't be scared, don't run)," PM Modi said.

Following the incident, police and rescue teams rushed to the spot to probe the incident. The private chopper was badly damaged in the crash that occurred at Mahad town in Raigad. The pilot of the chopper managed to jump off the ill-fated chopper and survived.

In a surprising move, the party has picked another loyalist, Kishori Lal Sharma, as a candidate against the BJP's Smriti Irani from Amethi. Both leaders will file their nominations today in the presence of senior party stalwarts.
