Shreejaya’s Debut in Politics What made her debut particularly significant was the context. Earlier that year, her father Ashok Chavan made a surprising political move—he left the Indian National Congress, the party his family had served for generations, and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The decision sent ripples across Maharashtra’s political circles. For Shreejaya, it meant carrying the burden of both legacy and transition. She had to introduce herself to the electorate not merely as Ashok Chavan’s daughter, but as a new representative under a different political banner. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the family’s party switch, Shreejaya contested as a BJP candidate and went on to secure a resounding victory from Bhokar, defeating Congress candidate Tirupati Kondhek

Read MoreSulabha and her Constituency Sulabha Ganpat Gaikwad is a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) politician from Maharashtra who currently represents the Kalyan East constituency in the state legislative assembly. She came into the political spotlight during the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections when the BJP fielded her in place of her husband, Ganpat Kalu Gaikwad, the sitting MLA who could not contest due to legal troubles. Sulabha and Resistance from Shiv Sena Despite facing resistance from sections of the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, which demanded that her candidature be withdrawn, Sulabha Gaikwad went ahead with the campaign and ultimately secured a decisive victory.

Read MorePurnima’s Political: Debut Rooted in Legacy In a bold political move, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) endorsed Purnima Das Sahu, daughter-in-law of former Jharkhand Chief Minister and current Odisha Governor Raghubar Das, as their candidate for Jamshedpur East in the 2024 assembly elections. The decision stirred attention, given the constituency's long-standing association with her father-in-law’s political legacy. Purnima Reclaimed the Seat Jamshedpur East, once a BJP bastion, slipped from its grasp in 2019 when Raghubar Das was unseated by Independent Saryu Roy. In nominating Purnima, the party sought to reclaim the constituency and restore its former dominance. Purnima’s Style to Campaign with Cultural Intelligence Purnima hit the ground running. Her campaign was de
Read MoreWho is Babulal Soren? Babulal Soren, the son of former Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren, has been gradually emerging as a recognizable figure in the political landscape of Jharkhand. Born into a family deeply rooted in the state’s tribal politics, his entry into public life was almost inevitable, though it has not been without its share of controversies and turning points. As the child of Champai Soren, a respected leader who briefly served as the Chief Minister in 2024, Babulal inherited both the privilege and the burden of a powerful political legacy. While still considered a new entrant on the broader political stage, he has already made headlines for his alignment with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), his electoral campaigns, and the promises he has put forward for the

Read MoreThe recent Assembly Election in February 2025 in Delhi showed us that the numbers of female voters were more than the male voters. On 5th February, 60.92% of women voted and the number of males was 60.21%. These numbers are not new, more and more women are coming out to practice their rights. There is not much of a difference between the numbers, but seeing more women on polling day, looks like a happy picture. Progressive Results in Conservative Times India has gone through ten years of political upheaval with some indication of intensity. India's conservative movement discovered a new momentum with the arrival of the BJP in 2014. This revitalization has ignited a surge of cultural revivalism, transformed party dynamics, changed caste relationships, and an encouraged movement tow

On February 3, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that L K Advani, a veteran BJP leader, would be conferred with the Bharat Ratna, which is India’s highest civilian honour. PM Modi shared the news on his social media account and praised Advani for his monumental contribution to the development of India. Advani played a crucial role in transforming the Bharatiya Janata Party into a national political force in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The BJP emerged in 1980 after the Janata Party dissolved. In its first national conference, party president Atal Bihari Vajpayee underscored that the BJP was not a new incarnation of Syama Prasad Mookerjee’s Bharatiya Jana Sangh. Instead, Vajpayee claimed the legacy of Jayprakash Narayan and declared Gandhian Socialism to be the party’s ...
Read MoreNitish Kumar’s Split From INDIA Bloc Dampens Opposition’s Caste Pitch, Revamps ‘Hindutva’ Tone
Nitish Kumar's return to the NDA just before the Lok Sabha elections has significant implications for the BJP. As the mastermind behind Bihar's caste survey, he provided the blueprint for the Opposition's caste census call and social justice pitch against the BJP in 2024. Nitish also chaired the first meeting of the Opposition (INDIA) bloc in Patna in June 2023. This move not only gives the NDA a possible bump in Bihar's tally but also challenges the Opposition's strategy of countering Hindutva with social justice. This strategy has been the political commonsense of the Opposition since the early 1990s when an alliance of Mulayam Singh Yadav and Mayawati prevented the BJP from coming to power in 1993 in UP. Nitish's crossing comes soon after Karpoori Thakur was awarded the Bharat Ratna,...
