New Delhi: Reports that the BJP will not re-issue tickets to MPs who have won more than two times in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls have created a stir among sitting MPs. Bhaj sources claim that the BJP will give a chance to 150 new candidates in the 2024 elections. All these candidates belong to the age group of 41 to 55 years to increase the number of young and mature MPs in the Parliament.

BJP has also given a message to more than hundred MPs that they will not get tickets again. Most of the leaders who have won two or more Lok Sabha Elections are to be entrusted with the responsibility of the BJP party and they have been informed about it.

Bad days of BJP that Uma has to convince

Shivraj Singh has created a surprise by expanding the cabinet two months before the assembly elections. The Shivraj cabinet includes Maha Kaushal's Gauri Shankar Bisen, Vindhya's Rajendra Shukla and Bundelkhand's Rahul Lodhi. Rahul Lodhi is the nephew of former Chief Minister Uma Bharti. Uma has raised a front against the Shivraj government on the issue of liquor ban, so Rahul Lodhi has to be made a minister to pacify them. There are 33 ministers in the Shivraj cabinet and one more is likely to be inducted before the elections.

Sources of BJP believe that expanding the cabinet now has sent a wrong signal. There is an impression that the BJP, fearing defeat, has expanded to preserve casteist equations. Even though Uma Bharti is married, there has been a discussion that BJP is forced to keep her happy.

Gehlot's claim, Congress responsible for BJP's victory

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has shocked everyone by stating that Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister after winning the 2014 Lok Sabha elections because of the Congress. Gehlot has indirectly described the leadership of that time as a failure. Considering that Sonia was in charge of the Congress in 2014, there is a debate going on in the Congress about the meaning of this statement.

Gehlot has made a new claim by claiming that Rahul Gandhi will be the prime ministerial candidate of the Congress in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Mallikarjun Kharge himself has said that Congress is not interested in the Prime Ministership, only interested in defeating BJP, while Gehlot is trying to break the unity of the opposition by making this statement, whether the Congress leader is asking such a question.

However, according to some Congress leaders, Gehlot was speaking to flatter the Nehru-Gandhi nobility and hence his words need not be taken seriously.

The BJP government claimed to have built 32 lakh toilets in the state.
