LS polls: BJP names 111 more candidates; drops 2 ministers, Varun Gandhi; fields Arun Govil, Kangana

LS polls: BJP names 111 more candidates; drops 2 ministers, Varun Gandhi; fields Arun Govil, Kangana The BJP on Sunday named 111 more Lok Sabha poll candidates, dropping Union ministers Ashwini Kumar Choubey and V K Singh, and MP Varun Gandhi, while fielding actors Kangana Ranaut and Arun Govil. Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan will contest from Sambalpur and the party's spokesperson Sambit Patra will try his luck again from Puri after losing out in a close contest in 2019. The party has axed former Union minister Anantkumar Hegde, a six-term Lok Sabha member from Uttara Kannada, this time. A hardline Hindutva leader, he has often courted controversies with his remarks including the recent row when he said a big mandate for the BJP is necessary so that it could amend the Constitution. The BJP has denied tickets to nearly 37 incumbent MPs in the latest list, including nine in Uttar Pradesh, five in Gujarat, four in Odisha and three each in Bihar, Karnataka and Jharkhand. The count of dropped MPs does not include those who won recent assembly elections like Diya Kumari and Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore in Rajasthan, or someone like Nayab Singh Saini who has taken over as Haryana chief minister or Hisar MP Brijendra Singh, who has already quit the party. Kerala BJP president K Surendra will contest from Wayanad, the seat from where incumbent MP and former Congress president Rahul Gandhi is again in the fray. The BJP has fielded Rekha Patra, who party leaders said is one of the Sadeshkhali victims, from West Bengal's Basirhat constituency in a bid to corner the state's ruling Trinamool Congress. The BJP named candidates for all 17 seats it is contesting in Bihar, renominating Union minister Giriraj Singh from Begusarai and former Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad from Patna Sahib. Union ministers R K Singh and Nityanand Rai have also been fielded from their current seats, while in Uttar Pradesh the ruling party named 13 more candidates. While it has denied the ticket from Pilibhit to Varun Gandhi, a three-term Lok Sabha MP who has often aired views deemed critical of his party's governments at the Centre and in the state, it has renominated his mother Maneka Gandhi from Sultanpur. Jitin Prasada, a minister in the state government, is the party's choice from Pilibhit while Atul Garg replaces two-term MP V K Singh in Ghaziabad. Hours before the party released the list, Singh said in a post on X that he is opting out of the polls. Three leaders who joined the BJP on Sunday figured in the list -- Naveen Jindal from Kurukshetra, Haryana government minister Ranjit Chautala from Hisar (both in Haryana), and Varaprasad Rao from Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh. With this list of 111 candidates, the ruling party has named 398 nominees, excluding the four who withdrew after their names created controversy, for the elections to the 543-member Lok Sabha. Ranaut, a vocal supporter of the BJP, will contest from Mandi in her home state of Himachal Pradesh, while veteran actor Arun Govil, famed for his role of Lord Ram in the popular TV serial ''Ramayan'', has been preferred to seasoned parliamentarian Rajendra Agrawal in Meerut by the ruling party. Sita Soren, the sister-in-law of former Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren, is the BJP's candidate from Dumka. She had quit the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha a few days ago. Former Karnataka chief minister Jagadish Shettar, who snapped his long ties with the BJP to join the Congress last year before returning to its fold months later, will contest from Belgaum. The party has named 19 more candidates from West Bengal, including former Calcutta High Court judge Abhijit Gangopadhyay from Tamluk. It has shifted Dilip Ghosh, the MP from Medinipur, to BardhamanDurgapur, dropping the incumbent S S Ahluwalia. It named seven candidates from Rajasthan, four each from Haryana, Karnataka and Kerala, 18 from Odisha, and three each from Maharashtra and Jharkhand among other states. Its Andhra Pradesh president D Purandeswari will contest from Rajahmundry and former chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy from Rajampet as the party named its picks for all the six Lok Sabha seats in the state it is contesting in alliance with the TDP and the Jana Sena. BJP vice president Baijayant Panda will contest from Kendrapara, a constituency he has represented in Lok Sabha as a BJD member twice.

Pawan Demands Probe into Vontimitta Handloom Worker's Death

Visakhapatnam: Jana Sena party chief Pawan Kalyan on Sunday demanded a thorough investigation into the death of handloom worker Subbarao in the Vontimitta mandal of the combined Kadapa district. Speaking at the party office, the Jana Sena chief said, he handloom worker allegedly died due to tampering of land records by the local revenue officials. The Jana Sena chief assured a strict action against the land grabbers, if the NDA is voted to power in the state, and added that the NDA government would take all necessary steps to protect the peoples properties. Pawan Kalyan slammed the YSRC government for its support to land grabbers. The YSRC government has brought the Land Titling Act just to take away people's properties. Not only that, the decision to give only photostat copies instead of an original land document during registration also seems to be a part of YSRCs land grab conspiracy, he said. As Pawan Kalyan will be contesting as the alliance candidate from Pithapuram, Telugu Desam party in-charge S.V.S.N.Varma met him at the party's central office in Mangalagiri on Sunday. TD in-charge of Kakinada, Amalapuram and Rajahmundry parliament constituencies Sujaya Krishna Ranga Rao also met the Jana Sena chief and explained the political situation in the Pithapuram constituency. All the TD leaders assured Pawan Kalyan that they would stand by him and expressed the confidence of a huge victory for him at Pithapuram.

Campaign on Pawans Move to Centre Angers JS Cadre

Hyderabad: A widespread campaign, apparently at the behest of the Telugu Desam, that Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan would contest for Lok Sabha elections, irked his party leaders and followers. Ever since the TD-JS combine sealed an electoral alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party two days ago in Delhi, the propaganda machinery was unleashed to claim that Pawan Kalyan was moving to national politics, even before the leaders had returned from the national capital. We are shocked to see the campaign. There was no talk of our party president contesting for the Lok Sabha at all and suddenly it is all there in the media, a senior Jana Sena leader and confidant of Pawan Kalyan told Deccan Chronicle . While Jana Sena leaders restrained themselves from commenting, social media groups involving the party cadre and Pawan Kalyan followers fumed at the propaganda in which they saw a sinister design to ease their supremo out of Andhra Pradesh politics. They (TD leaders) need our leader to ride to power but they dont want him once the objective is fulfilled, said Akula Srinivas, a netizen and a die-hard supporter of Pawan Kalyan. They always see a potential threat in our hero and all this bonhomie is with an eye on the polls, B. Venkateshwara Rao, another Jana Sena activist, said, adding that the cadre wanted their leader to remain in the state and help the party grow on its own. Jana Sena leaders sought to remind the electoral ally TD of Pawan Kalyan to go to the Central Prison in Rajahmundry to visit his TD counterpart N. Chandrababu Naidu when its leaders were afraid of stepping out of their houses. Corroborating with Jana Sena leaders, a veteran journalist from Rajahmundry, K. Satyanarayana, said: It is a fact that PKs bold stand against Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy at the Ippatam public meeting, where he declared his resolve to keep the anti-incumbency vote intact, and his announcement of a poll pact from the Central Prison are game-changers. Jana Sena leaders were of the view that the cadre was initially severely upset over the party getting just 24 Assembly and two Lok Sabha seats but were coming to terms with it in the larger interest of the combine. We still doubt whether the TD cadre will show the same integrity as us and transfer their vote wherever the Jana Sena or the BJP is contesting, said a senior leader. Party sources, to reiterate that their chief would stay on in the state, pointed out that Pawan Kalyan had committed himself to at least four films and had taken advances from producers. Moving to national politics at this juncture would upset the schedules and leave the producers high and dry, something that Pawan Kalyan would not do, they pointed out.

Visakhapatnam : Chief Metropolitan Magistrate K.V.L. Hima Bindu has sentenced two persons to undergo two years imprisonment for stealing gold ornaments from the Apex Apartment complex in Endada area of Visakhapatnam. According to the prosecution, accused number one (A1) Vasupalli Yellaji, a car driver and servant of Vakada Rajasekhar Reddy, along with A2 Mylapilli Narasimha Raju, an accomplice of Yellaji, committed theft in Rajasekhar Reddys house in 2022 when the latter went to Rajahmundry.
