Shinde Sena likely to stake claim to 22 Lok Sabha seats, BJP in no mood to accept demand

 

In a sign of possible trouble between Chief Minister Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and its ally BJP, the former plans to stake claim to 22 Lok Sabha seats in the upcoming elections in 2024. The BJP has, however, indicated that it is in no mood to accommodate the demands of its ally.

On Wednesday night, Shinde held a meeting of Shiv Sena MPs to review development works and firm up the party’s strategy for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The MPs and Shinde decided that the party will contest from 22 out of the 48 seats in the Lok Sabha, which the undivided Shiv Sena had contested in the 2019 general elections. Sena MP Rahul Shewale, “There was discussion on the Lok Sabha polls and it was also decided that there will be a joint meeting of the BJP-Shiv Sena and RPI soon to discuss the development works being carried out in all the Lok Sabha constituencies and preparations for the 22 seats on which the Shiv Sena contested the Lok Sabha elections in 2019.”

Of the total 18 Shiv Sena MPs from Maharashtra, 13 have joined the Shinde-led Shiv Sena while the Uddhav Thackeray-led Sena is left with only five MPs. In the 2019 general elections, the BJP-Sena and RPI contested from 48 seats and won 41 seats in Maharashtra. While the Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (then undivided) won 18 seats, the BJP had won 23 seats.

Meanwhile, there was also discussion on the demands of a few MPs that the Shinde-led Sena should have a cabinet berth in the Union government in the next expansion.

A senior BJP leader requesting anonymity, however, said, “The seat-sharing between the BJP and Shiv Sena (Shinde) will be based on ground reality. We don’t see any problems as both Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis have good rapport and are determined to contest the polls together.” However, Shinde Sena’s assertion for 22 seats out of 48 Lok Sabha seats is unlikely to be met, he said.

25 Parties Expected To Attend Inauguration Of New Parliament By PM Modi

 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the building on Sunday.

New Delhi:

As many as 25 parties are expected to attend the inauguration of the new Parliament building by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday even as 20 Opposition parties have decided to boycott the event.

Apart from the 18 members of the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), including the BJP, seven non-NDA parties will attend the ceremony, going by their stated position on the issue which has snowballed into another political flashpoint between the ruling and opposition camps.

The BSP, Shiromani Akali Dal, Janata Dal (Secular), Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), YSR Congress, BJD and TDP are the seven non-NDA parties expected to be present at the event.

The presence of these seven parties, which together account for 50 MPs in the Lok Sabha, will be a major relief for the BJP-led NDA. Their participation will help the NDA blunt the Opposition's charge that it is all a government event.

Besides the BJP, the 18 NDA members include Shiv Sena, National People's Party, Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party, Sikkim Krantikari Morcha, Jannayak Janata Party, AIDMK, IMKMK, AJSU, RPI, Mizo National Front, Tamil Maanila Congress, ITFT (Tripura), Bodo People's Party, Pattali Makkal Kacchi, MGP, Apna Dal and AGP, alliance leaders said.

Nineteen parties, including the Congress, Left, TMC, SP and AAP, have come together to jointly announce the boycott, saying they find no value in a new building when the "soul of democracy has been sucked out".

They have also protested the decision that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the building, claiming this was an insult to the highest constitutional office of the President of India.

Separately, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said if Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla does not inaugurate the new Parliament building, his party would not attend the event.
