- BJP Tells EC to Declare WB as 'Super-Sensitive' & Other Election Updates
- Priyanka Gandhi kept us on the hook for a while and chose to stay in the shadow even after formally joining the Congress. In fact, she delivered her first speech as an official member of the party only yesterday but it is not clear if she'll be contesting in this year's General Election at all.
This update came from NDTV who quoting sources said that "Priyanka would play an active role and helping her mother and brother in their constituencies as well as help other congress candidates in the state".
Party President Rahul Gandhi had an interactive meeting with students of Stella Mari college in chennai as a part of the Congress' outreach program, where he took questions from the students. He said that if his party forms government then they will pass the Women's Reservation Bill, he also pointed out that the Narendra Modi has not yet held any press conferences in his career as PM.
We may not know for sure if we'll see Priyanka in action this election season but what we do know is that she met Bheem Army chief Chandrashekhar Azad at Meerut's Anand hospital. Azad who was arrested from Deoband in Uttar Pradesh after allegedly violating the Model Code of Conduct by using more than a stipulated number of motorcycles in a political rally in Saharanpur district. Does his meeting with Priyanka hint at an alliance? We'll know in the coming days.
A delegation of BJP leaders which included Union Ministers Ravi Shankar Prasad, Nirmala Sitharaman among others met the Election Commission and requested the agency to declare all of West Bengal as a 'super-sensitive' state to ensure a fair Lok Sabha election.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi tagged several social media influencers, media houses, journalists members of opposition and Bollywood celebrities to encourage voter participation in the upcoming elections.
Of course some of the members of opposition took the opportunity to take a dig at the prime minister like SP leader Akhilesh Yadav tweeted that he was happy that the prime minister was appealing to the "mahagathbandhan for a mahaparivartan (change)". while some others like Omar Abdullah, who is the leader of NC reminded Modi that his government has disenfranchised people in J&K by not holding the Assembly elections on time.

- Why J&K State Polls Deferment Is Due to Logistics, Not Politics
With the obvious exception of the ruling BJP at the Centre, most of the regional and national political parties in Jammu and Kashmir are critical of the Election Commission of India’s decision to not hold the Assembly elections concurrently with the general Lok Sabha elections.
After withdrawal of support from Mehbooba Mufti-led PDP-BJP coalition in June 2018, the Assembly was placed under suspended animation and Governor’s Rule was imposed in Jammu and Kashmir. After the political parties’ failure to form the government in six months of the Governor’s Rule, President’s Rule was imposed in December 2018.
