Congress Preparations For 2024 Lok Sabha Poll Without Prashant Kishor Now that the poll strategist Prashant Kishor has finally dissociated himself from theCongress Party&plans for the next state assembly elections culminating into the Lok Sabhapolls in March/April 2024, the Congress Party has to focus fully on how to make optimumuse of the strategic planning for defeating the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections in cooperationwith other anti-BJP parties.PK has submitted a blueprint many parts of which have theendorsement of the Congress high command. Those can be implemented by the Congressleadership itself provided the state leaders including the present chief ministers are fullyutilised to implement the programme in practice.There are three elements in PK election strategy which the Congress leadership must havetaken note. The first is, the Congress has to bring out massive improvement in thegrassroots organisation in the states where the Party is the major challenger to the BJP inthe elections. This means these are the states where the Congress performed miserably inthe 2019 Lok Sabha polls and without big improvement in the tally from these states, theCongress will never be able to cross the figure of 120 which is the minimum base mark forthe non-BJP opposition to come to power after 2024 Lok Sabha elections.In last 2019 Lok Sabha elections, out of the 52 seats won, the Congress got only 6 seats outof the 250 seats where it challenged the BJP on its own. These are one in UP with 80 seats,one in Bihar with 40 seats, one in Madhya Pradesh with 28 seats, one in Jharkhand with 14seats, and two in Chhattisgarh with 11. In other states of this 250 seats group, the Congressdrew blank in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. InHP, however in a later by election, the Congress won the Mandi Lok Sabha seat. So rightnow, the tally is 7 out of 250 block of fighting BJP singlehandedly.Secondly, there are 543 Lok Sabha seats. The perfect strategy for the Congress should beto vastly improve its tally in these block of 250, in some states like MP, Rajasthan, Gujarat,Chhattisgarh on the basis of its own strength and in some others like Jharkhand andHaryana and Bihar, to explore for alliances against the BJP. The target should be to win atleast 80 seats from this block. This is a tall task but it can be achieved. Congress have gotleaders like Bhupesh Baghel and Kamal Nath. They have the capacity to increase the seattally substantially provided full infra support is given. The Congress will never be in thereckoning in the post poll scenario if its tally is less than 100 seatsThirdly, there will be some states, where the regional parties are the dominating parties andthe Congress can only be minor part. The Party has to be prepared for that and should notbargain for more not warranted by its ground level strength. The prime objective to minimizethe areas of differences over seat allocation so that the non-BJP votes are not divided. Thenthere are states where the Congress will have to work for long term organizational expansion without hoping for much results in the immediate future like Uttar Pradesh and Delhi. Now what about Southern states? Out of 53 Congress seats now in Lok Sabha, 28 are fromSouth. There are 15 from Kerala, eight from Tamil Nadu, three from Telangana, one eachfrom Andhra Pradesh and Puducherry. In South, the Congress tally may go down in Keralaand the Party may lose Puducherry. In Karnataka, the Congress has to tie-up with JD(S) andbid for more seats. Karnataka is the only state from where the Congress can hope to bridgethe deficit due to its loss of seats in Kerala. In AP and Telangana, it is a tough fight, TRSchief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is in a strong position and he will not allow theCongress to have any fresh break through. He is now equally fighting BJP in his turf. So theCongress will have a tough task on hand in both Telangana and AP. It will be difficult for theCongress to stick to the current tally of 28 in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections from theSouthern statesLet us look at Eastern India. In Odisha, BJP is the main party fighting the BJD led by thechief minister Naveen Patnaik who is still comfortable in his position as the latest municipaland rural polls showed. The Congress state leadership is divided and the organisation atgrassroots level is in a very bad shape. The BJP has worked very hard - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara in the state and the RSS cadres.

‘I don’t know what is going on in Virat’s head’: Apple warns of supply constraints, Sourav Ganguly has his say on Kohli’s slump in form overshadowing record quarter Embroiled in controversy last year, BCCI president Sourav Ganguly shared his views on Virat Kohli’s struggle with the bat in IPL 2022.
Agency News: New Delhi What is wrong with Virat Kohli? – That is burning question in Indian cricket right now. The once uber-confident former India captain is struggling to score runs, and while until last
year, Kohli’s century drought was the only cause of concern, the current IPL has thrown open a much larger worry. With scores of 1, 12, 0, 0 and 9 in his last five innings, Kohli’s struggle has been well-document. If the two back-to-back golden ducks ran alarms bells, his scratchy 9
off 10 balls showed that is no longer the same world-beater Kohli would dominate the opposition bowling attack and score runs for fun. Kohli faced 10 balls but seemed like getting out three times in the first over itself from Trent Boult. From Yuvraj, to Gavaskar to Shastri,
almost everyone from the cricket fraternity has voiced his opinion on Kohli and what he needs to do to return to his freeflowing. And now, one person who has had a bit of recent history with Kohli has had his say on the hottest topic of Indian cricket. BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, who last December, was embroiled in controversy with Kohli over the former India captain’s decision to step down as captain, has presented his take on Kohli’s lack of runs. Not only Virat, Ganguly even spoke about Rohit Sharma’s string of low scores in IPL 2022.“They are great players and I am sure they will get back in form. I hope they start scoring runs soon.
Agency News: New Delhi Apple Inc. predicted that supply constraints would cost $4 billion to $8 billion in revenue during the current quarter, a warning that sent the shares tumbling and cast a pall on record-setting results that the company just reported. Covid restrictions, which have swept China in recent weeks, will take a toll on the June quarter, Apple said during a conference call Thursday. The fiscal second quarter’s sales and profit had topped analysts’ estimates, fueled by strong demand for the iPhone and digital services, and the company announced $90 billion in new stock
buybacks. The outlook renewed fears that supply-chain woes will continue to roil the tech industry following a shortlived recovery from pandemic struggles. Companies ranging from Microsoft Corp. to Texas Instruments Inc. have already said that China’s Covid-19 lockdowns will crimp sales and make it harder to produce products like the Xbox. The Xi Jinping administration has
embraced a strict Zero Covid policy to stop the pandemic’s spread, reverberating through the world’s supply lines. Chip shortages and the Ukraine war also are causing disruptions, Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said during the call. “We are not immune to these challenges, but we have great confidence in our teams, and our products and services -- and in our strategy,” he said. Apple shares tumbled as much as 6.2% to $153.50 in late trading after the remarks. The stock had already fallen about 7.8% this year before the company gave the warning, hurt by a broader tech downturn. Apple had gained 34%.

There are hundreds of talented people here.” Calling the digital space “the most democratic medium”, Kangana said the influx of OTT platforms is a boon for budding producers like her.“It is a great time for all us budding producers, for us who are working professionals and we always find a reason to dodge our dreams and say that we will do it next year. This is the most democratic medium, all you need is talent,” the actor-producer said on Thursday at the Prime Video Presents India event in Mumbai.Kangana said the film is a “COVID baby” as it was conceptualised during the second wave of the pandemic.“I was COVID struck, the kind of support we got from Amazon, kudos to them. We are keen to showcase the film to you,” she said.Kangana, who is backing “Tiku Weds Sheru” via her Manikarnika Films banner, described the film as a “love story amidst the beauty and brutality of life”.

There is a lot of anger among followers of noted kathakaar Morari Bapu against elements who have tampered with a 5-yearold video of his to carry out a misleading campaign on social media.The video clips being posted on social media platforms date back to the year 2018 when speaking at a mass marriage ceremony of the Muslim community, Morari Bapu had assured that he would have no issues if any Muslims come to the Ram temple and offer namaz. In the same breath, he had also said that he would expect brothers
from the Muslim community not to have any issues if he comes to the mosque with bells.Morari Bapu has devoted his life to promoting brotherhood between different communities, and his remarks on that occasion were also a part of his efforts to bring the two communities closer.The whole video has been released by Morari Bapu’s followers and it makes it very clear that only the partial video clip is being circulated on social media in an attempt to mislead the common public. Morari Bapu’s followers are naturally angry with the attempts to malign his image deliberately.Speaking upon his arrival in Indore on Thursday, Morari Bapu said, “My remarks are being edited with the purpose of creating controversies. If you listen to the whole video, I have said nothing controversial or objectionable.”Until now, only politicians would tamper with one another’s videos and circulate.
