“Disgraceful”: Mayawati On BJP asks Nitish to apologise SUNVILLA SAMACHAR BJP Leader’s Controversial for visiting temple with Muslim minister Buoyant Bjp Leadership Under Nar- Remarks Editorial
endra Modi Preparing For 2024 Polls Prime Minister Narendra Modi has strengthened himself in the last eight years, to such anextent in his party and outside that the gap in popularity between him and other probableprime ministerial aspirants comes no way closer to him.He is all set for a third term in 2024. About 53 percent of respondents in the Mood of theNation poll conducted by India Today and C voter last week favoured Modi as the next primeminister.The Opposition has failed miserably in challenging Modi in 2014 and 2019. The recentpresident and vice president election has shown the Opposition disarray while the BJP hasgeared up its poll machinery. The focus has shifted from ;Modi vs Whoto nly Modi for2024.So, Modi had the field to himself.Interestingly, after Modi entered the national scene eight years ago, the campaignstylebecame that of an American Presidential poll. That is why there is so much talk about the2024 poll when it is two years away.Political forces could realign before the next Lok Sabha polls. Reaching a consensus on theprime ministerial candidate has been difficult, with the regional satraps pulling in differentdirections. Modi was a political leader who gave hope in 2014; he projected himself as anationalist leader in 2019 and would be launched in 2024 as the most acceptable leader ofIndia. with global recongnition.The Union Home Minister Amit Shah declared at the recent BJP National Executive meetingthat Modi would be the NDA's Prime Ministerial candidate. Uttar Pradesh chief minister YogiAdityanath, who has won a second term, has asked his state to bag at least 75 of the 80seats in the state for 2024 polls.However, two recent developments have injected fresh vigour into Indian politics. The firstwas the Shiv Sena split in Maharashtra and the rebel Shinde faction heading thegovernment with the BJP support last month.Secondly, after weeks of simmering tension between the JD(U) and BJP over a host ofissues, including caste census, population control, and the Agnipathdefence recruitmentscheme, JDU)- the last important rally of the BJP left the NDA earlier this month.Maharashtra and Bihar send a little more than a sixth of the total 543 in Lok Sabha (88) and are critical for both the BJP and the Opposition. There are at least four Prime Ministerial aspirants apart from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.Trinamool Congress;s Mamata Banerjee has been nursing prime ministerial ambitions sinceshe decimated the Left and the Congress in the elections. TMC leaders argue that Mamatais most suited for the post. She has won all the assembly elections in West Bengal since2011 with a massive majority. Telangana&chief minister, K. Chandrashekar Rao, has of late been critical of Prime MinsterModi. Hehas been preparing to come on the national stage since 2018. Like TMC, TRS has also wonmassive mandates in assembly elections since 2014.Delhi chief minister, Arvind Kejriwal, is the third. He has been Delhi&chief minister since2015.AAP is the only regional party with governments in two states- Delhi and Punjab. Also, theparty has won with super mandates. After winning Punjab in 2022, party spokespersonRaghav Chadha said Kejriwal could be the countrys next prime minister.Of late, a fourth name is on the list after Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar quit the NDA earlythis month and became the chief minister for the eighth time with the support of theRashtriya Janata Dal.Bihar has been the centre of national political movements in colonial and postcolonial Indiaand has 40 seats.JD(U) became the fourth major NDA ally after the Sena, and the Akali Dal snapped ties withthe BJP after 2019. Another partner, Telugu Desam, quit in 2018.After his oath-taking, the ambitious Nitish took a jibe at Modi. He said, "Those who came topower in 2014, (read Modi) will they be victorious in 2024? I want all (Opposition) to beunited for 2024."The chances for Nitish were much brighter in 2015 when the Opposition defeated BJP inBihar, and Nitish became the chief minister. He left the Grand Alliance and joined hands withthe BJP later. He is perceived as an opportunist, but still, he is senior enough from the Hindibelt one cannot dismiss him lightly.The upbeat BJP high command has constituted a team to capitalize on Modis popularityduring the election rallies. He addressed more than 100 rallies and travelled about one lakhkilometers across the country during the 2019 election campaign.It too early to predict - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara how the situation will pan out.
