 All Congress leaders including CM Ashok Gehlot have given indications of distancing themselves from the mega event

First India Bureau working there by connecting with the grassroots.

There are 26 seats in the second list, where the path to victory is not easy for the party just because of the MP. Based on this survey, BJP has ranked its sitting MPs in a table of 1 to 10. The current 42 saffron MPs are those who have got above 8 marks, they have been kept in the category of ‘excellent’. There are 13 MPs, who have barely been able to score two points for themselves. But look at the surprising thing, an MP from Jharkhand has got only 0.9 marks and an MP from Jhabua is being told to be at the bottom of this table. Sources reveal that he has got the lowest 0.6 marks. It has become clear from the results of this survey that ‘125 to 145 sitting BJP MPs may be denied tickets in the coming general elections’.

UNION CABINET MAY BE RESHUFFLED BEFORE FEBRUARY 22, SAY SOURCES

This will probably be the last reshuffle of the Modi Cabinet. Sources reveal that the BJP high command has finalised the list of ‘which ministers are to be dropped and which new faces are to join the Union Cabinet.’ It is believed that in the Cabinet meeting convened on February 22 many new faces can be seen. All the ministers have been informed about why the Cabinet meeting on 22nd is so important and they have been asked to remain in Delhi on 22nd. Now Narendra Modi and Amit Shah will decide whether the reshuffle will be like the ‘Gujarat Model’ or some other formula will be adopted.

A FEMALE MP PUTS PARTY IN A SPOT!

There are discussions everywhere about a female MP, who has a high influence in the political corridors of Delhi, who has given leave to all the leaders of Delhi BJP and has hoisted the flag of her supremacy in NDMC. The NDMC had allowed four restaurants to run on its land opposite Bhikaji Cama Place in New Delhi for several years on a very nominal lease guarantee. The demand of some time and some luck of these restaurant owners paid off that these days the craze among the youth of these restaurants has increased and every evening a huge crowd of youth gathers here. It goes without saying that this made the restaurant owner’s pockets ‘full of silver’. This MP says that ‘these restaurant owners were making huge profits, but were paying a very meagre amount to NDMC in the name of lease guarantee, while the opposing camp says that ‘the MP hastily got the licenses of the four restaurants cancelled just because she had to oblige some restaurateurs of their choice.’ The matter has gained so much momentum that now the BJP top has to intervene in it.

The campaign focused on issues related to half of the population i.e. women.
