With the highly anticipated 2024 Lok Sabha election approaching, several prominent political figures are preparing to defend their turf in key battleground constituencies. Among them are Rahul Gandhi from the Congress party, Hema Malini from the BJP, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat from the BJP, Bhupesh Baghel from the Congress party, and Shashi Tharoor from the Congress party. These candidates will face tough competition as they seek to retain their seats in the lower house of India’s Parliament.
In the lead-up to the Lok Sabha election, students from grades 1 to 8 in Noida are participating in awareness rallies organized by school authorities and booth-level officers (BLOs) as part of the Systematic Voters Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) campaigns. While some parents support their children’s involvement, others express concerns about their safety and well-being in the scorching heat.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has expelled KS Eshwarappa, a former Karnataka Chief Minister, from the party for a period of six years. The decision was made due to Eshwarappa’s violation of party discipline. Despite the expulsion, Eshwarappa has announced his intention to contest the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as an independent candidate.
