New Delhi: BJP sources claim that Union Home Minister Amit Shah will stand from Gazipur seat in 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Sources say that Shah's way to stand from Ghazipur seat has been cleared due to Omprakash Rajbhar's alliance with the party. Rajbhar has taken responsibility to win Shah from Ghazipur seat.
Amit Shah also wanted to contest from Gazipur seat in 2019 Lok Sabha Elections, but Rajbhar was not ready to leave this seat and was determined to contest from Gazipur seat. Due to this, the alliance of BJP and Subhash Sabha was broken.
After breaking away from the BJP, Rajbhar contested the 2022 assembly elections in alliance with Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party. After the re-formation of the Yogi government in UP, Rajbhar also left Akhilesh. Rajbhar's influence is believed to be in 20 districts, so the BJP is expected to benefit greatly.

Sources in the BJP claim that the NDA meeting to be held on July 18 in the presence of Narendra Modi will finalize the seat sharing with Nadendala Manohar, president of the Najan Sena's political affairs committee and former speaker of the joint Andhra Pradesh Assembly.

Sarmano Bafat, vegetables expensive due to 'Mian'
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has created a controversy by holding 'Mian' responsible for the rising prices of vegetables in the state. Sarma said that most of the vegetable sellers in the city are 'Mians' who are selling vegetables at high prices to the people of Assam. In Assam, the term 'Mian' is used for Muslims of Bengali origin. Asking Assamese youth to come forward to sell vegetables, Sarma assured that he would personally vacate the market under the flyover in Guwahati so that Assamese boys would get employment. Sarma also said that Guwahati sees less crowd during Eid. Bus traffic is reduced. Because most of the bus and cab drivers are Mian.
Asaduddin Owaisi has quipped against Sarma's comment that nowadays Modi ji has close friendship with foreign Muslims, ask them for some tomatoes, spinach, potatoes etc. and get the job done.
There is no escape without calling the Army in Delhi
The situation in Delhi is bad due to floods, where the rains that have started again have worsened the condition of the people. Many areas are still waterlogged and the situation is expected to worsen with fresh rains. Yamuna Bazar, Mathura Road, Pragati Maidan, Mayur Vihar, ITO and Rajghat areas are waterlogged and the situation is deteriorating due to rain.
Delhi's Arvind Kejriwal government has assigned the responsibility of one flood-affected district to 6 ministers, but in view of the dire situation caused by the rains, it seems that it will not go without calling the Army. Kejriwal has written a letter to Amit Shah asking for the help of the Army.
Narendra Modi, who returned from a trip to France and UAE, met Delhi's Lt. Governor V.K. Considering that the situation has been ascertained by telephonic conversation with Saxena, there is a possibility that the central government will send the help of the army.
