including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, home minister Amit Shah, and defense
minister Rajnath Singh, as well as the party president J P Nadda, Karnataka
chief minister Basavaraj Bommai, and other members of the Parliamentary Board.

The PM Called A Meeting upon Returning from
Karnataka
The Congress and
Janata Dal-Secular (JDS) have announced their candidates for the upcoming
Karnataka polls. The Congress announced a total of 166 candidates while the JDS
announced 93 candidates. The Congress had initially declared 124 candidates in
its first list and later announced another 42 candidates in the second list.
The JDS, on the other hand, announced 126 candidates in its first list and 67
candidates in its second list. With the announcement of candidates by both
parties, the stage is set for a heated electoral battle in the state. The
Karnataka polls are scheduled to be held on May 12, 2023 and the results will
be declared on May 15, 2023.
This is in
contrast to the approach taken by rival parties, the Congress and theJD(S),
which have already announced most of their candidates. However, there is a
possibility that the names of few candidates may be revealed a few days before
the last day of filing nominations, in order to prevent any potential rebellion
within the party. The announcement of the final list of candidates is eagerly
awaited by supporters and political observers alike.
The state is all
set for a high-stakes battle between the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP),
the Congress Party, and the Janata Dal (Secular). Political parties have
already begun campaigning in full swing, with the focus primarily on issues
such as farmer distress, job creation, and development. The Election Commission
has assured that strict Covid-19 protocols will be in place during polling and
counting of votes on May 13th. All eyes are now on the upcoming polls, which
will determine the political fate of the Karnataka.
In a bid to
finalize the tickets for the upcoming state elections, BJP President JP Nadda
and Home Minister Amit Shah held a marathon meeting with state leaders for more
than 4 hours earlier today. The meeting was aimed at deliberating on the
potential candidates and finalizing the ticket distribution strategy for the
state polls. The meeting assumes significance as the BJP aims to strengthen its
presence in several states and retain power in others. The BJP is expected to
announce the candidates soon and kickstart its campaign for the Karnataka state
elections.
