Rally at Mumbai’s BKC to oppose Modi’s Shivaji Park rally is being held by the INDIA alliance.

Mumbai: Ahead of election day, May 20, the city is scheduled to witness a tremendous display of strength from the government and opposition parties on May 17. Simultaneous rallies will be held at Shivaji Park and the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC).

The Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), not wanting to be overwhelmed by the ruling alliance led by the Bharatiya Janata Party’s election campaign blitzkrieg in Mumbai, has decided to hold a rally at BKC with some of its bigwigs. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is supposed to speak at a gathering at Shivaji Park on the same day.

Among the politicians attending the INDIA bloc event are Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Chief of the Shiv Sena (UBT), Uddhav Thackeray, Founder of the Nationalist Congress Party, Sharad Pawar, and Convener of the Aam Aadmi Party, Arvind Kejriwal. On May 18, the leaders of the opposition coalition will also speak at a joint news conference in Mumbai, according to Maharashtra Congress in-charge Ramesh Chennithala.

On May 17, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation denied Shiv Sena (UBT) permission to organise the protest in Shivaji Park. As a result, the decision was made to hold the event at BKC. Despite the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), led by Raj Thackeray, not fielding a single candidate for the 2024 elections, the local authority instead granted permission for the party to host a demonstration in the public park on that day. The Mahayuti alliance, led by the BJP, has the backing and will be actively promoted by the MNS.

At this gathering, which PM Modi will speak, the Mahayuti coalition is seeking to capitalise on Raj Thackeray’s affiliation with Shivaji Park, which has a significant connection to his uncle, the late Bal Thackeray, the founder of the Shiv Sena.

“Sharad Pawar will be welcomed by Congress”

Chennithala, in the meantime, declared that should senior leader Sharad Pawar want to combine his NCP section with the historic party, the Congress would be happy to have them. This came after Pawar recently stated in an interview with The Indian Express that in the upcoming years, a number of regional parties will collaborate more closely with the Congress, and some of them may even combine with it.

Veteran national politician Sharad Pawar was formerly a member of the Congress party. He adheres to the ideologies of Jawaharlal Nehru and Gandhiji. The coming together of like-minded individuals would not present any problems. Congress will welcome Sharad Pawad if he makes any decisions after the polls, Chennithala stated.

The leader of the Maharashtra Congress also denounced Modi for his recent, sensitive comments on the community, in which the prime minister called Muslims “infiltrators” and “those who have more children.” If the Congress won power, Modi had promised to give Muslims a share of the country’s riches.

“It is inappropriate for the PM to use such language,” Chennithala stated. “However, PM Modi is speaking on Hindu-Muslim relations, India-Pakistan relations, and other topics without having anything to say about his past ten years in office.”

Chennithala also posed the issue of who would succeed Modi as prime minister once he becomes 75. “BJP leaders must retire at the age of 75, per a provision that PM Modi established. Veteran BJP politicians like Lal Krishna Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi were compelled to step down by Modi. Now, in September, Prime Minister Modi will turn 75 years old. Will Amit Shah succeed him as Prime Minister after his retirement from public office? This would require a response from the BJP and PM Modi, Chennithala stated.

He further criticised Prime Minister Modi for inciting hate between Muslims and Hindus by using language that is sectarian in nature. “The PM should not use such terminology in their role. However, since PM Modi has nothing to say about his past ten years of leadership, he is speaking about Hindus and Muslims, India and Pakistan, and other topics, Chennithala remarked.

“As BJP celebrates Maharashtra Election 2024 results with jalebi, here’s an easy recipe for you to try at home

BJP celebrates a sweeping victory in Maharashtra Election 2024 with jalebis. If you have a sweet tooth too, try this easy recipe at home

Jalebis and celebrations go hand in hand. But the deep-fried Indian delicacy also has a special connection to elections in our country. It all started when Congress leader Rahul Gandhi showed a box of jalebis from the famous Matu Ram Halwai during a rally in Haryana’s Gohana, stating that it should be sold across the nation. He wanted these jalebis to be exported in order to generate more employment opportunities in India. Well, on the day of the Haryana assembly elections, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders celebrated their party’s victory in the state by eating jalebis. BJP leaders even got jalebis delivered to Gandhi’s home. Today, as the Mahayuti alliance— comprising the BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP— marks a landslide victory in Maharashtra Assembly Election 2024, BJP leaders are once again celebrating with piping hot jalebis.

Well, if this makes you crave jalebis too, try out this easy recipe by Swasthi. All you need for the jalebi is 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons corn starch, 1/8 teaspoon turmeric, 1/2 cup curd, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, oil or ghee as needed. Coming to the ingredients for the sugar syrup: 1 cup sugar, 1/2-3/4 cup water, 1 pinch saffron, 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder, 1 teaspoon lemon juice.

Let’s start with the sugar syrup. Begin by adding sugar and water to a pot. Boil on medium heat until it reaches the consistency of a single string. Pour lemon juice, cardamom powder and saffron. Remove from the stove, stir and set aside.

Mix maida, cornflour and turmeric in a bowl. Add curd to this mixture before making a batter by pouring in the water. Beat the batter with a whisk until smooth. Now that your batter is ready, let’s begin frying! Heat the ghee/oil on medium heat. To the batter, add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Add soda to this concoction and mix. Now take 2-3 tablespoons of the batter and put it in a zip lock bag or a cloth bag. Squeeze the bag gently over the hot oil/ghee in circular motions from the center, slowly moving outside to get a spiral jalebi. Fry until crispy and then dip this into the sugar syrup. Let it rest for two minutes before taking it out and serving hot.

The Election Commission of India reports that V Muraleedharan, Union minister of state for external affairs, is lagging from Kerala’s Attingal constituency in the Lok Sabha elections.

According to preliminary findings, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) minister is trailing Congress MP Adoor Prakash and Communist Party of India (Marxist) member V Joy. As of 12:20 PM, V Joy has a 432 vote advantage, according to the ECI.

According to the Election Commission of India, V Muraleedharan, the Union minister of state for external affairs, is trailing behind in the Lok Sabha elections from the Attingal constituency in Kerala.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) minister is lagging behind Congress MP Adoor Prakash and Communist Party of India (Marxist) member V Joy, early results show. As of 12:20 PM, the ECI shows that V Joy is ahead by 432 votes.

Later in 2016, he ran from Kazhakootam in the Kerala State Assembly elections, but CPI (M) leader Kadakampally Surendran won with 7,347 votes.

But he has held a number of posts within the party; from January 2010 until January 2015, he presided over the Kerala state unit. In the 2014 Lok Sabha election, the NDA’s vote share grew to 10.8% under his leadership as the BJP state president of Kerala, marking the first time it has crossed the double digits.

In April 2018, Muraleedharan, who was born into a Congress family in the Communist stronghold of Thalassery, was elected to the Rajya Sabha.

Prior to submitting his nomination for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, a group of students who had been evacuated from Ukraine during the conflict between the Union government and Russia gave him money for his security deposit.

The BJP fielded Sobha Surendran, an Attingal resident, in 2019, and she finished third with 14.43% of the vote. The party’s 2014 candidate, S Girija Kumari, received just 3.95% of the total votes cast.

After the delimitation in 2008, the Attingal Lok Sabha seat was created. On April 26, it held its second phase of elections, with 69.48% of the vote cast.

Beginning on April 19 and ending on June 1, there were seven phases to the Lok Sabha elections for 543 seats. With Narendra Modi as prime minister, the Bharatiya Janata Party is vying for an uncommon third term in power at the Centre.
