New Delhi: BJP wants to contest elections for Union Ministers and Lok Sabha members in Rajasthan also by adopting the formula of Madhya Pradesh, but the ministers and MPs are not ready. BJP sources say that currently all the ministers and MPs of the government have been asked about contesting the elections from Rajasthan, but barring one or two exceptions, no one has shown enthusiasm.

Most of the ministers and MPs believe that the BJP has a tough uphill climb as Ashok Gehlot is plowing ahead of the polls in Rajasthan. Ministers and MPs are also afraid because of BJP's factionalism. He also believes that it is easier to win in the Lok Sabha than in the Assembly as people vote in the name of Modi in the Lok Sabha Elections. Everyone is afraid that if they lose in the assembly elections, then they will not get the Lok Sabha ticket and they will be left in the house.

One Nation, One Election is possible only in 2029

The government has decided to hold elections to Lok Sabha and state assemblies across the country under One Nation, One Election. However, the Law Commission has made it clear that elections to all states can be held at the earliest with the 2029 Lok Sabha elections and there is no possibility before that.

After the discussion of One Nation, One Election in the meeting of the Law Commission, the Commission has said that all the assembly elections can be held simultaneously by increasing or reducing the tenure of the state legislatures, but for that we will have to wait till 2029. All state elections can be held along with the 2029 Lok Sabha elections if there are no other obstacles.

The Law Commission says that the implementation of One Nation One Election will save money. The Election Commission has also told us that, given the necessary time, it can implement One Nation, One Election.

Farmers' movement in Punjab, AAP government in Bhishna

A new calamity has arisen for Bhagwant Mann's Aam Aadmi Party government as farmers have started agitation in Punjab. Farmers' organizations have started agitations over crop damage compensation, support prices and loan waivers. Across Punjab, farmers have stopped the trains by camping on the railway lines. All trains coming from Delhi have been affected due to railway track jam. Farmers have also blocked the Delhi-Chandigarh National Highway and farmers have started sit-ins on the highway.

The opposition parties say that this movement is a play at the behest of the AAP government. The Hon'ble government appeared to accept the demands of the farmers after a few days and played this bet to curry favor with the farmers before the Lok Sabha elections. Only the people who protested against the Agriculture Act in Delhi have come to the field at your behest to create an atmosphere that you are pro-farmers.

People in Delhi protested against Mamata Akhilesh

Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress has organized a sit-in against the Modi government in Delhi on October 2, the day of Gandhi Jayanti. MNREGA workers will be brought from West Bengal for this. For this, the Trinamool Congress sought the approval of a special train from the Railways, but the Ministry of Railways did not accept this demand, and now people will be transported to Delhi by buses. Sources claim that since large number of people cannot be brought by buses, Mamata Banerjee has sought help from Arvind Kejriwal, Akhilesh Yadav, Congress etc. It is calculated that Mamata's mega show will be done if these leaders send people from the surrounding areas from Delhi.

The Trinamool Congress is going to hold demonstrations in Delhi for two days on October 2 and 3, so the police have also started running. MNREGA job card holders are starving because there is not enough work, Mamata alleged.

RJD favors Nitish

While there is no consensus on who will be the prime ministerial candidate in the front of anti-BJP parties, RJD has favored making Nitish Kumar as the prime ministerial candidate. RJD spokesperson MLA Virender has said that the next Prime Minister of the country should be from Bihar and Nitish Kumar is the most qualified person for this post.

Nitish Kumar has often said that he has no ambition, but every now and then JDU and RJD leaders put his name forward, it is clear that Nitish deep down wants to be the leader of India.

BJP says that RJD is promoting Nitish's name to make room for Tejashwi Yadav. RJD is favoring Nitish for its own benefit if Nitish is announced as the Prime Ministerial candidate, he will go to the national level.
