India elections: The shock results show Modi is no longer as popular as he thought he was
The recent Indian elections have resulted in a significant political shift, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) losing its previous dominance. The BJP won only 240 out of 430 contested seats, falling short of the 272 needed to form a government, while the Congress party and regional allies gained ground. This shift reflects a rejection of Modi's Hindu-centric policies and a call for a more inclusive India. The article highlights the impact of Modi's decade-long rule, marked by increased poverty, declining democracy, and violence against Muslims. Rahul Gandhi's efforts to connect with the populace have contributed to Congress's resurgence. The elections underscore the importance of diverse voices in India's democracy and signal a potential end to BJP's dominance.

Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra will highlight ‘anyay kaal’ of PM Modi’s 10 years: Congress
The Congress party's Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, starting from Manipur, is an ideological campaign aimed at addressing social, economic, and political inequalities during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 10-year tenure, which they term as an 'era of injustice.' The yatra, described as transformative, will cover 100 Lok Sabha constituencies across 15 states, emphasizing the need to reinforce the principles of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity. The campaign contrasts Modi's promises of 'Amrit kaal' with the alleged reality of 'anyay kaal.'

Turnout for local assembly elections in Indian Kashmir sets record
The recent local assembly elections in Indian-administered Kashmir saw a record voter turnout, with over 69% participation in the third round. This marks a significant engagement in democratic processes in a region historically affected by militancy and political boycotts. The elections, conducted in three phases, are seen as a deepening of democracy in the region. The political landscape is dominated by the National Conference and Peoples Democratic Party, with the Awami Ittehad Party emerging as a potential disruptor. The elections focused on issues like the restoration of special status and statehood for Jammu and Kashmir. Despite high voter turnout, analysts suggest that the elections may not lead to significant political changes. Regional parties and the Indian National Congress continue to push for statehood restoration, with opposition leaders like Omar Abdullah and Rahul Gandhi voicing strong demands against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party's policies.

How the BJP snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in the Haryana elections
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured a third term in the Haryana Assembly elections, overcoming challenges from the Congress by winning 48 out of 90 seats. Despite an increase in vote share, the Congress managed only 37 seats, hindered by internal conflicts and overconfidence. Key factors contributing to the BJP's victory included voter satisfaction with the incumbent government, effective voter coalition strategies, and a focus on women's safety. The BJP's ability to consolidate non-Jat votes and the Congress's failure to fully secure the Jat vote further influenced the outcome. The Lokniti-CSDS survey highlighted these dynamics, showing the BJP's strategic advantage in voter satisfaction and coalition-building.

Cong’s dismal show in assembly polls in sharp focus in I.N.D.I.A meet
The Congress party's poor performance in recent assembly elections was a key focus in the fourth meeting of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (I.N.D.I.A) held in Delhi. The 28-party alliance discussed the challenges Congress faces in states where smaller parties hold power, leading to reduced bargaining power for Congress. The alliance partners decided that the Prime Ministerial candidate would be chosen by the MPs elected in the 2024 general election, indicating a lack of consensus on a unified candidate to challenge Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Rahul Gandhi has stated he is not in the running for PM. Seat adjustment concerns were raised by several parties, including the Aam Aadmi Party, Samajwadi Party, and Rashtriya Janata Dal. The alliance plans to hold public meetings and protests to increase recognition and address the suspension of Opposition MPs.

Bihar Reservation Bill: Will It Face Legal Challenges?
The Bihar government has introduced and passed the Bihar Reservation of Vacancies in P&S (SC, ST, and OBC) Amendments Bill 2023, increasing the reservation quota from 50% to 65%. The bill allocates 18% for Backward Classes, 25% for Extremely Backward Classes, 20% for Scheduled Castes, and 2% for Scheduled Tribes. The move aims to address socio-economic disparities, but faces potential legal challenges due to the Supreme Court's stance on reservation limits. The BJP, while historically supporting reservation, is in a dilemma due to the caste survey's implications on electoral politics. Key figures like Nitish Kumar, Samrat Choudhary, and Prashant Kishore have voiced their perspectives on the bill's impact and legal validity.
