Gautam Budh Nagar has emerged as the economic capital of Uttar Pradesh, driven by the development of Noida and the upcoming Jewar airport. The upcoming elections in the region will feature the incumbent BJP, led by Mahesh Sharma, facing challenges from the BSP, SP, and independent candidates. Key issues include the demands of farmers and land losers, delays in registry of flats, and ongoing development projects. Despite the challenges, BJP remains confident in retaining the seat due to its record of development and the presence of Rajput and Jat communities, who have traditionally supported the party.

In Wayanad, Kerala, human-wildlife conflict has emerged as a flashpoint issue in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Wild elephants, tigers, and other animals have claimed at least eight lives and acres of crops in the past 10 years. Farmers and tribals, who depend on farming and forest-related activities for survival, are particularly affected. Despite protests and demands for government action, measures such as rail fencing and trenches have been ineffective against wildlife. Farmers and tribals feel that their concerns are not being addressed by politicians, who make promises during elections but fail to deliver. They are seeking adequate compensation, food and water for animals within the forest, and effective measures to prevent animals from straying into agricultural land.
