  • Bengal’s Shadow Over Modi Will Loom Large, Long After Polls End

    The BJP may well have shot itself in the foot in Bengal, courtesy a pliant Election Commission. The EC played into Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s hands with its openly partisan decision to curtail the campaign for the final phase in the state by a day, but only after Narendra Modi completes his scheduled rallies.

    Mamata has been on a roll since. She’s invoked Bengali pride. She’s lashed out at Narendra Modi and Amit Shah in the strongest possible language, getting downright personal with both. And she’s masterfully played the victim card, positioning herself as David fighting not one, but two Goliaths.

  • No Modi, No Captain: Data Reveals An Election of Anger in Punjab

    Anti-incumbency is a mild word to describe the public sentiment in Punjab as it goes to vote in the Lok Sabha elections on 19 May. There is resentment against the political class at every level – from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh to local leaders across party lines.

    Candidates from almost every party have been heckled during the campaign – Union Minister Harsimrat Badal, her opponents Amarinder Singh Raja Warring of the Congress and Sukhpal Khaira of the Punjab Democratic Alliance, Congress’ Patiala candidate and the CM’s wife Preneet Kaur, AAP leader Bhagwant Mann and Shiromani Akali Dal leader Parminder Dhindsa – to name a few.

  • Early End to Campaigning in West Bengal & More Updates From 16 May
    • In a first, the Election Commission invoked article 324 and announced that campaigning for the last 9 seats in West Bengal will end on 16 May, 10 pm, a day before the scheduled deadline. The state is set to go to polls on 19 May, the seventh and last phase of elections. West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee called the decision “unethical” and accused the EC of working for Modi. She said the timing of the ban allows PM Modi to deliver his two scheduled election rallies in Bengal on 16 May.
    • The decision came after the entire fiasco at Amit Shah’s rally resulting in violence and vandalism of Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar’s statue. Playing the blame-game over the broken statue, Didi called out the BJP goons while Modi blamed the TMC workers, stating that BJP will rebuild Vidyasagar statue.
    • In yet another controversial remark, BJP candidate Pragya Singh Thakur called Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin Nathuram Godse, a “patriot” and said those calling him a “terrorist” will be given a befitting reply when the election results are announced. Her remarks come in the wake of Kamal Haasan’s comment that Godse was India’s first terrorist. The BJP, however, scrambled to control the damage and condemned her remarks asking her to publicly apologize.
    • Gearing up for the election results, Congress leader Sonia Gandhi took charge of hosting the opposition parties for a meeting which is set to be held on 23rd May, the day the results would be announced.
    • And your last update for the day, the Haryana Police booked state minister Manish Grover and former Congress MLA B B Batra for allegedly entering a polling booth without permission and disorderly conduct.
