#LokSabhaElections2024 : Fourth Phase Voting On May 13; 96 Seats ; Akhilesh Yadav, Mohua Moitra, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, Asaduddin Owaisi Among Others In Fray

The electoral fate of several prominent candidates like Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, Union minister Giriraj Singh, TMC’s firebrand leader Mohua Moitra and AIMIM’s Asaduddin Owaisi will be decided May 13 when polling will be held in 96 Lok Sabha constituencies across 10 states and Union Territories in the fourth phase of the general elections.

Voting will simultaneously be held in all 175 Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, which is witnessing a triangular contest involving ruling YSRC, the Congress-led INDIA bloc and the NDA, comprising the BJP, Chandrababu Naidu-led TDP and Pawan Kalyan-led Jana Sena Party (JSP).

As many as 28 legislative assembly seats of Odisha are also going to polls in this phase.

A total of 1,717 candidates are in the fray in the Lok Sabha seats and more than 19 lakh polling officials have been deployed at 1.92 lakh polling stations for the over 17.70 crore eligible voters, including 8.73 women, in this round of the seven-phase polls.

As per PTI report Among the keenly watched contests are those involving former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav (Kannauj, UP) and Union ministers Giriraj Singh (Begusarai, Bihar), Nityanand Rai (Ujiarpur, Bihar) and Raosaheb Danve (Jalna, Maharashtra).

Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and former cricketer Yusuf Pathan of TMC (both from Baharampur, WB), BJP’s Pankaja Munde (Beed, Maharashtra), AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi (Hyderabad, Telangana) and Andhra Pradesh Congress president YS Sharmila (Kadapa) are among the prominent candidates.

Union minister Ajay Kumar Mishra Teni, whose son is an accused in the 2021 Lakhimpur Kheri violence case, is eyeing a hat-trick from Kheri (UP), while TMC’s Mahua Moitra, who was expelled from Lok Sabha in the wake of cash-for-query allegations, is seeking re-election from Krishnanagar in West Bengal.

Film star-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha is seeking re-election from Asansol where he is pitted against BJP’s veteran leader S S Ahluwalia. BJP’s former West Bengal president Dilip Ghosh and Trinamool Congress’ Kirti Azad are contesting from Bardhaman-Durgapur.

So far, till phase three of the Lok Sabha elections, polling has concluded in 283 seats out of 543.

Polling will be held May 13 in all 17 Lok Sabha seats in Telangana, all 25 seats in Andhra Pradesh, 13 in Uttar Pradesh, five in Bihar, four in Jharkhand, eight in Madhya Pradesh, 11 in Maharashtra, four in Odisha, eight in West Bengal and one in Jammu and Kashmir.

Nearly 17.48 lakh electorate are eligible to vote in the election to the prestigious Srinagar Lok Sabha constituency and 24 candidates are in the fray. It is the first major election in Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019.

The National Conference has fielded influential Shia leader Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi while youth leader Waheed Para is contesting on the People’s Democratic Party ticket. The Apni Party has fielded Ashraf Mir, while the BJP is not contesting.

The BJP-led NDA has MPs from over 40 of these 96 seats that will go to polls on May 13.

The voter turnout in the first three phases of the Lok Sabha elections was 66.14 per cent, 66.71 per cent and 65.68 per cent, respectively.

The EC believes that the heatwave conditions are one of the reasons for lower voter turnout in the last three phases as compared to the 2019 parliamentary polls.

Citing an India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast, the poll authority on Sunday said that “there is no significant concern regarding hot weather conditions for the polling in Phase 4.”

The weather forecast indicates that the parliamentary constituencies going to polls are likely to experience normal to below normal temperatures and there will be no heatwave-like conditions in these areas on polling day.

Keeping in mind the hot weather conditions and people’s reluctance to step out in the afternoon, the Election Commission has increased poll timing in some Telangana seats.

While the usual hours of voting are from 7 am to 6 pm, they are curtailed keeping in mind the terrain, time of sunset and security situation.

Issues like reservations, appeasement politics, corruption and jobs dominated the battle of narratives in the fourth phase of the Lok Sabha elections.

Among the 13 poll-bound constituencies in Uttar Pradesh, a close contest is on between SP chief Akhilesh Yadav and sitting BJP MP Subrat Pathak in Kannauj, while in Unnao, incumbent BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj is up against SP’s Annu Tandon.

In West Bengal, the EC has identified 3,647 polling stations as “critical” across the eight constituencies.

A total of 152 companies (around 100 personnel each) of central forces would be deployed in Bardhaman Purba district, followed by Birbhum (131), Asansol Durgapur Police Commissionerate (88), Krishnanagar Police District (81), Murshidabad Police District (73) and Ranaghat Police District (54), an official said.

The voter turnout in the redrawn Srinagar Lok Sabha constituency, following the delimitation exercise in Jammu and Kashmir in 2022, will be keenly watched as most of the areas under the seat had previously witnessed low polling percentages due to boycott calls given by the separatists.

To encourage people to exercise their franchise, district election officers in the constituency organised various outreach programmes, used audio, visual and print medium and also held street plays and sports events.

Officials said all arrangements have been put in place for Monday’s polling.

“A total of 17,47,810 voters have been enrolled in phase IV, including 8,75,938 men, 8,71,808 women and 64 third-gender voters. There are around 11,682 persons with disability and 705 voters above the age of 100 years,” they said.

As many as 2,135 polling stations have been set up across Srinagar, Ganderbal, Pulwama and parts of Budgam and Shopian districts where polling will be held. Twenty-six special polling stations have been set up for migrant voters of Kashmir Division with 21 in Jammu, four in Delhi and one in Udhampur District.

In Andhra Pradesh, the ruling YSRCP is contesting in all 175 Assembly seats and 25 Lok Sabha constituencies in the state.

As part of a seat-sharing deal among NDA partners, the TDP was allocated 144 Assembly and 17 Lok Sabha constituencies while the BJP will contest from six Lok Sabha and 10 Assembly seats.

The Janasena will contest two Lok Sabha and 21 Assembly seats.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the YSRCP had won 22 seats while TDP was reduced to just 3.

YSRCP president and Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy (Pulivendla), TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu (Kuppam) and Janasena chief and actor Pawan Kalyan (Pithapuram), among others, are in the Assembly poll race.

With the polling on eight seats in Madhya Pradesh, elections to all 29 seats in the state will be completed.

The eight constituencies spread over 64 assembly segments in 15 districts in the state’s Malwa-Nimar region are considered the bastion of the BJP.

In Indore, after Congress candidate Akshay Bam withdrew his nomination at the last minute and joined the saffron party setting the stage for a one-sided contest for BJP’s Shankar Lalwani, who won by nearly 5.4 lakh votes in 2019, the Congress urged voters to hit NOTA (None Of The Above) option.

Polling for the next three phases in the country is on May 20, May 25 and June 1. The counting of votes is on June 4.

Unperturbed By Five States Poll Rout, Loyalists Mallikarjun Kharge, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury Defend Gandhi’s

पेगासस मुद्दे पर चर्चा को लेकर संसद में जहां गतिरोध लगातार जारी है वहीं लोकसभा के लिए आज अहम दिन है क्योंकि ओबीसी से जुड़े विधेयक पर चर्चा हो रही है। बता दें कि इस विधेयक के माध्यम से केंद्र सरकार अन्य पिछड़ा वर्ग (ओबीसी) को साधने की कोशिश कर रही है। इसके लिए वह राज्यों को ओबीसी की सूची बनाने का अधिकार दे रही है। लोकसभा में ओबीसी से जुड़े बिल पर चर्चा के दौरान लोकसभा में कांग्रेस के नेता अधीर रंजन चौधरी ने कहा कि देश में ओबीसी के लिए 50 फीसदी से ज्यादा आरक्षण की व्यवस्था हो। अधीर रंजन ने कहा कि कुछ प्रदेशों में इससे भी ज्यादा है। उन्होंने तमिलनाडु का उदाहरण देते हुए कहा कि यहां 69 फीसदी आरक्षण है। इसी तरह बाकी राज्यों को भी कानूनी तौर पर शक्ति मिले कि वो आरक्षण को 50 फीसदी से ज्यादा बढ़ा सकें। #LokSabha #MonsoonSession2021 #Modi #INC #AdhirRanjanChowdhury #OBC #GrameenNews #NewsUpdate #NewsFlash https://www.instagram.com/p/CSY5MvVHUQH/?utm_medium=tumblr

#LokSabhaElections2024 : Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury Under Fire From TMC For Alleged Video Asking People To Vote For BJP

The Trinamool Congress has accused Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury of being the “B-team” of the Bharatiya Janata Party after a purported video, where he allegedly stated that voting for the BJP is better than voting for the TMC, went viral, prompting a denial from the Congress, claiming the video was “doctored”.

An eight-second video clip of Chowdhury’s speech during an election rally in West Bengal’s Murshidabad was shared by the TMC, where the sitting Congress MP and candidate from West Bengal’s Baharampur was seen saying “It’s better to vote for the BJP than to vote for the TMC.”

However, the authenticity of the clip could not be verified.

Responding to the clip, the West Bengal Congress unit termed it as doctored and officially complained to the EC, seeking intervention and appropriate penal action.

Commenting on the purported remarks, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said the goal of his party is to bring down the numbers of the BJP in West Bengal and that the TMC is part of the INDIA bloc.

Earlier in the day, the TMC, upset with Chowdhury’s continual criticism and holding him responsible for the breakdown of seat-sharing discussions with Congress in the state, labelled him as “anti-Bengal.”

In a post on X, the TMC said after acting as the “eyes and ears of BJP in Bengal,” Chowdhury has now been promoted to be the “voice of the BJP in Bengal.”

“Listen to how the B-Team member is openly asking people to vote for the BJP – a party that refused to release Bengal’s rightful dues and deprived our people of their rights. Only a Bangla-Birodhi can campaign for the BJP, which has repeatedly insulted Bengal’s icons,” the TMC said.

“On May 13, people of Baharampur will give a befitting response to this betrayal!” it added.

TMC Rajya Sabha MP Saket Gokhale also attacked the Congress leader over the remarks.

“Finally from the B-team horse’s mouth! Congress Bengal chief Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury publicly asks people in his rally to vote for the BJP and not the TMC. While Mamata Banerjee fights against the full might of Modi+Central Agencies machinery, Bengal Congress is openly asking votes for the BJP,” he said in a post on X.

“In Bengal, TMC is INDIA taking on BJP. Meanwhile, Congress and CPM have chosen to become Modi’s loyal soldiers. This is disgusting and beyond shameless,” he said.

#SandeshkhaliFurore: Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury Alleges Stopped By Police From Visiting The Restive Area

West Bengal Congress chief Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury was stopped by police on way to restive Sandeshkhali area, which has been rocked by protests over alleged atrocities on villagers by TMC leaders, citing prohibitory orders.

The Congress delegation spearheaded by Chowdhury, encountered initial hindrance from police officials at Sarberia and subsequently at Rampur, along the path to Sandeshkhali in North 24 Parganas district. Authorities cited prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) as the reason behind the prevention of the Congress delegation’s entry into Sandeshkhali. Chowdhury condemned the Mamata Banerjee-led government, asserting that it was attempting to politicise the situation.

He questioned the state government’s rationale behind denying access to opposition parties, stating, “Why are opposition parties being prevented from entering Sandeshkhali? What is the state government trying to hide? Why are they trying to politicise it?” Following the interruption at Rampur village, Chowdhury and Congress workers staged a sit-in, leading to a minor altercation with police.

Addressing reporters, Chowdhury criticised Banerjee for purportedly “communalising the issue.”

“The chief minister, instead of acknowledging that the incidents in Sandeshkhali are a matter of shame, is attempting to imbue them with a communal narrative by introducing the aspects of Hindus and Muslims. We condemn such communal politics,” he asserted.

Chowdhury’s remarks came amidst Banerjee’s allegations implicating the saffron camp of instigating unrest in the area.
