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.

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.

BJP wants to gain ground in West Bengal and Odisha during the final round of the Lok Sabha elections.
![](https://anyrscdn.b-cdn.net/publications/ihtlive/29%20may%202024/final%201.jpg)
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi are making every effort to guarantee that the party wins a sizable portion of the 57 seats where elections are scheduled for June 1 in the last round of the current Lok Sabha polls.
Three rallies in Odisha and one in West Bengal will host speeches by Prime Minister Modi on Wednesday.
The party has been putting a lot of effort into growing its presence and solidifying its control over the political system in both states.
West Bengal saw the BJP win 18 seats in 2019, which was seen as a significant victory for the party that had little local support.
The BJP subsequently started waging a fierce campaign in the state to position itself as an alternative to the ruling TMC.
The party did well in the state’s 2021 assembly votes and went on to win 77 seats thanks to the intense campaign that started in 2019.
The BJP’s Suvendhu Adhikari, a former adviser to chief minister Mamata Banerjee, defeating her in her home borough of Nandigram, was the election’s high point.
Adhikari, who was regarded as Banerjee’s trustee lieutenant, is credited for having contributed to the BJP’s rise in support in the state, which was thought to have nothing in common with the party’s philosophy because it was a communist stronghold.
Now that the BJP is the main opposition in the state, its goal is to increase its number of Lok Sabha seats, which will prepare the way for the assembly elections in 2026.
The BJP hopes to win eight of the 21 Lok Sabha seats in 2019, more than tripling its current total. It also wants to prove that it is qualified to lead the state government.
Similar to West Bengal, where the Congress and Left parties are no longer seen as strong rivals, the BJP has established itself as the Biju Janata Dal (BJD)’s rival in Odisha.
Having won five consecutive terms in assembly elections, the BJD is sure to make a comeback.
