Monomita NagJanuary 21, 20220

JK union territory is gearing up for the first election in 2022. Political parties including three former chief  Ministers - Farook Abdullah, Omar Abdullah, and Mehbooba Mufti, have started coming out of their hiatus since Aug 5, 2019. Once the election which is supposed to be held in  Sept/Oct is completed, the abnormal ground situation in Kashmir may create some surprises. Though Farook Abdullah led PAGD, a grouping of the National Conference, People's Democratic Party, and the CPM formed in 2020 is planning to fight it out together. However, its performance in the District Development Council election in 2020 was far from a symbol of unity. Congress was not a party to this group.

Nitesh PratapJanuary 19, 20220

Mulayam Singh Yadav's younger daughter-in-law Aparna Yadav joined BJP on Wednesday and the party gets a psychological edge. BJP may publicize this as a split in the Mulayam family. In the last Assembly elections, Akhilesh Yadav had to bear the loss of resentment from uncle Shivpal Yadav. Uttar Pradesh BJP president Swatantra Dev Singh probed, "If Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav could not keep his family united, then what would be able to keep Uttar Pradesh united?"

Monomita NagJanuary 19, 20220

Goa Assembly Election is due next month, and there have been several interesting turns of events with the TMC taking root in the state.

UP Assembly Election: With Mayawati Being Absent From Ground, Dalit Votes Seem Scattering Among Parties

Snehashish RoyJanuary 18, 20220

The Dalit community accounts for as many as 21% of the total vote population in Uttar Pradesh. A section of the population that has decided the fate of politics in the state for the last couple of decades. Since its inception under the leadership of Kanshi Ram, Dalits have been supportive of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) ever since the 1990s. The party went into an overhaul after Mayawati took charge as the first Dalit woman in India to become a chief minister of a state. Mayawati's technique to amalgamate Dalits and Brahmins using the social engineering formula had given her major success in the 2007 Assembly elections. However, her activism in the current election season seems missing. The former chief minister of UP and social reformer has remained absent on the ground. Und...

Following the exit of the senior OBC minister Swami Prasad Maurya, the political journey of his daughter Sanghmitra Maurya as a BJP MP seems to reach a difficult path. Maurya's resignation as a minister from the Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanth's cabinet and joining Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party (SP) has changed the course of politics in the state. It is considered as the initiation to the revolt against the leading BJP in UP.
