BJP's game-plan to win UP's 9th RS seat: Get Independents, Shivpal Yadav's vote

The BJP is pulling out all the stops to deny Mayawati s Bahujan Samaj Party a seat in the Rajya Sabha turning the upcoming elections in Uttar Pradesh into a big political battle reminiscent of the Rajya Sabha election of Congress leader Ahmed Patel from Gujarat last year. With 324 MLAs of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance and 37 needed to win one seat the party can secure eight Rajya Sabha seats from the state with 28 votes to spare. However UP BJP spokesman Rakesh Tripathi said the BJP is extremely determined to win the ninth Rajya Sabha seat . UP BJP spokesman Chandra Mohan said MLAs across party lines will vote for development and considering people s mood for BJP. The BJP s strategy involves bringing all three independent MLAs on its side including Raja Bhaiyya (a known adversary of Mayawati) and Amanmani Tripathi opening talks with Samajwadi Party leader Shivpal Yadav and his loyal MLAs to ensure they don t vote for the BSP and getting an MLA of the NISHAD party and one of Rashtriya Lok Dal parties which backed SP or BSP during the recent bypolls on its side as well. All three independents Shivpal Yadav some SP MLAs and the NISHAD MLA had voted for the BJP during last year s https://kkd4int.puzl.com/ presidential polls. Instead of 324 votes of the NDA MLAs Ram Nath Kovind had got 335 votes due to the cross-voting. The same is expected to be the case in the ninth seat of the Rajya Sabha polls too a senior BJP functionary in the state told ET on condition of anonymity. He said this strategy is expected to ensure that the BSP candidate Bhimrao Ambedkar will stop short of getting 37 MLA votes that would guarantee him a Rajya Sabha seat. He is presently at 36 MLA votes after the son of Naresh Agarwal an SP MLA yesterday (Monday) decided to vote for our candidate. The count will go down further as voting day nears. Second preference votes will then come into the picture and our candidate will sail through the senior BJP functionary said. SP can get its candidate Jaya Bachchan elected with 37 out of its 47 MLAs and shift 10 of its votes to the BSP which has 19 MLAs. The Congress has also pledged support of its seven MLAs to the BSP. That will take the BSP tally to 36 votes and it is expected to get the vote of the RLD MLA as well to sail through with a figure of 37. But on Monday SP leader Naresh Agarwal joined the BJP and his son an SP MLA declared he would vote for the BJP bringing down the BSP figure to 36. Vijay Mishra the Nishad MLA will vote for BJP so will the three independents. The RLD MLA from Chaprauli may also shift to the BJP camp a BJP leader said. Tripathi said that the SP MLAs of the Shivpal Yadav camp might also vote for the BJP. BSP votes did not get transferred to the SP during the bypolls and the results will show that on March 14. SP MLAs enthusiasm to vote for the BSP will hence wane while voting for Rajya Sabha seats. SP would also like to keep some spare votes for its candidate Jaya Bachchan and not transfer all its nine spare MLA votes to the BSP he said.
In a blow to the Opposition in Uttar Pradesh senior Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Naresh Agarwal joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Agarwal addressed a press conference on Monday along with Union minister Piyush Goyal and announced his entry into the BJP. Agarwal in his address to media persons said he is influenced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath. India is on the path to development under Narendra Modi he added. His son Nitin has also joined the BJP. File image of Naresh Agarwal. PTI Speaking about the SP Agarwal said that the party has lost its way in recent times. He also added I have no preconditions for joining the BJP. Please do not say that I am joining the party as I am hopeful of a Rajya Sabha seat or something of that nature. Piyush Goyal said that under the chief ministership of Yogi Adityanath Uttar Pradesh has seen a new era of development. The BJP has emerged as the only alternative for the people and the party is changing the face of the country. I held discussions with Agarwal about his joining the BJP and so did (party president) Amit Shah. Last week the SP named Jaya Bachchan as its Rajya Sabha nominee overlooking Agarwal according to a report in Financial Express. In January 2017 Agarwal refuted reports of his joining the BJP alleging that the party was spreading rumours due to its fear of losing voters among traders as per a PTI report carried by Economic Times Before the 2014 Lok Sabha elections Agarwal in a controversial dig at Narendra Modi said that someone who had worked at a tea shop can never have a national perspective The Times of India reported.

NEW DELHI: The stellar performance of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the recent state elections in Tripura Nagaland and Meghalaya is a landmark for a party which had little traction in the region except in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. The party never had any significant connect with the masses and was seen as an outsider. What changed the situation? BJP president Amit Shah in his first press conference after the results credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi s Act East policy for the upsurge in fortunes. Modi s Act East policy included a big push for road and railway infrastructure and various steps to boost the regional economy. While most of the infrastructural projects are at various stages of completion Modi s northeast agenda created a rhetoric of inclusiveness that helped bring the masses closer to the BJP. Below are a few important initiatives by the Modi government that may have made the BJP acceptable to the northeast voters: The railways push Before a metre-gauge line started in 2008 Tripura didn t have any railway link with the rest of the country. The Modi government converted it into broad gauge. All over the region the government has converted 900 km of tracks to broad gauge. It also launched a Rajdhani Express and the Tripura Sundari Express between Agartala and Delhi. In 2016 then railways minister Suresh Prabhu laid the foundation stone for the Rs 2 315 crore 88-km Dhansiri-Kohima railway track connecting Kohima to the national railway network. The government also began railway projects to connect Imphal Aizawl and Shillong. It has introduced more than two dozen new trains in the region. It also signed a deal with Bangladesh to develop a rail link between Tripura and Chittagong which would speed up flow of products especially grains to the region. Roads and highways Modi has branded his policy to build infrastructure in northeast as Transformation by Transportation . Lack of connectivity has been a major roadblock in the economic progress on the region. Modi s promise of connectivity resonates with the masses. More than 3 800 km of national highways with an investment of Rs. 32 000 crore have been sanctioned in the region in the past three years while nearly 1 200 km of roads have been constructed according to the government. In a public announcement in December last year Modi said the centre would invest another Rs. 60 000 crore under the Special Accelerated Road Development Programme in the northeast and Rs. 30 000 crore under the Bharatmala project over three years. Modi also dedicated to the nation a 271-km two-lane national highway connecting Tura in western Meghalaya to the state capital Shillong last year. Air connectivity The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has allocated Rs 3 400 crore for the upgradation of airports in the North East region. According to the government projects worth Rs 934 crore have already been completed while the rest would be over in the next two or three years. The aviation projects in the northeast include re-carpeting of the runway at Silchar and Lilabari airport and an aviation manpower training institute; development of Rupsi airport; a new integrated airport and an engineering workshop at Agartala; expansion and revamp of existing terminal building and runway at Dimapur; installation of an instrument landing system (ILS) at the Shillong airport; and operationalisation and development of the Tura airport. Other projects and policies Last year Modi dedicated the 60-MW Tuirial hydropower power project which made Mizoram the third power-surplus state in the northeast to Sikkim and Tripura. The project is expected to produce 251 million units of electricity annually. Announced in 1998 by the then Atal Bihari Vajpayee government it was the first major central government project to be successfully commissioned in Mizoram. Recently the government decided to fully fund various Central projects being implemented in the northeast instead of the previous practice of sharing 90 per cent of the cost. The Modi government has also made the 1360-km long India-Myanmar-Thailand trilateral highway which is to be completed in 2020 a centerpiece of its Act East policy. Opening the northeast to the ASEAN countries the highway will boost the regional economy. In Budget 2018-19 the government re-classified bamboo from tree to grass which would enable easier cultivation for commercial purposes. Bamboo is central to the rural economy of the northeast. Its classification as tree meant various restrictions on its produce transport and sale.

But Meghalaya threw up a hung Assembly with the incumbent Congress emerging as the single-largest party. With the BJP s improved performance in the Northeast it now runs governments in Manipur and Assam as well the Narendra Modi government will now need to face the challenge of delivering on the contentious Naga Accord. In Nagaland the BJP had contested the polls with the Neiphiu Rio-led Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP). On its own the BJP won a creditable 11 seats and 14.6 per cent if the votes. With its ally NDPP winning 15 seats the alliance fell short of the halfway mark. However Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju said his party would form a coalition government with the Naga Peoples Front which won 27 seats four short of a majority in the 60-member Assembly. In Meghalaya the incumbent Congress won 21 seats. The National People s Party a BJP ally won 19 and the BJP won 2. The BJP improved its vote share to 9.6 per cent. However Congress leaders Kamal Nath and Ahmed Patel landed in Shillong to reach out to smaller parties to explore the possibility of forming the government and prevent a repeat of Goa and Manipur where the party had emerged the single-largest party but was beaten by a fleet-footed BJP in government formation. Until 2016 the BJP never had a government in any of the northeastern states. Efficient election management and electoral tie-ups made the BJP win the Assam Assembly polls in 2016. By the end of that year behind-the-scenes work helped it form the government in Arunachal Pradesh. While the Congress emerged the single-largest party in Manipur in the 2017 Assembly polls the BJP had reached out to smaller parties to form the government in that state. As the results trickled in on Saturday the Tripura verdict brought much cheer to the BJP leadership. It had defeated its ideological enemy the CPI (M) which has won elections successively in the state since 1993. The Congress vote share collapsed from 36.53 per cent in 2013 to 1.8 per cent. The alliance of the BJP and Indigenous People s Front of Tripura (IPFT) was on course to win 43 of the 60 seats. The BJP along with its allies will now have governments in 21 states. But a jubilant party chief Amit Shah said the BJP s golden era would be when its wrested West Bengal Odisha and Karnataka from rival parties. The Karnataka Assembly polls are scheduled for April-May. Aware that the BJP and its ally the National People s Party might struggle to cobble a coalition Shah ruled out the possibility of his party engaging in horse-trading in Meghalaya. Where is the question of tod-phod (horse-trading). The Congress does not have a majority there he said. Shah said the wins were an endorsement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi s leadership. Assam minister and BJP leader Himanta Biswa Sarma said Tripura s outgoing chief minister Manik Sarkar could take shelter in West Bengal Kerala or neighbouring Bangladesh. In a statement the CPI (M) said the BJP utilised massive deployment of money and other resources to influence the elections . It said the BJP was able to consolidate all the anti-Left votes and virtually appropriated the erstwhile main opposition party the Congress. The CPI (M) politburo thanked the 45 per cent of Tripura voters who voted for the Left parties. The defeat for the CPI (M) comes at a time of an internal battle between former party chief Prakash Karat and current chief Sitaram Yechury. The party conclave in Hyderabad in the later part of April is set to discuss the party s attitude towards electoral understandings with other secular democratic parties for the Lok Sabha polls. The BJP s wins in the Northeast tie well with its plans to compensate any losses it might suffer in northern India by winning seats in some of its electorally weaker areas.
19:28 (IST) BJP-IPFT alliance scripts history with Tripura Assembly poll victory The BJP-IPFT combine scripted history on Saturday by winning the Tripura Assembly polls ending 25 years of uninterrupted rule of the CPM-led Left Front in the state. The party captured 23 seats on its own while its alliance partner the Indigenous People s Front of Tripura (IPFT) bagged 7 seats giving the combine a majority in the House according to Election Commision (EC) sources. The saffron party inflicted a humiliating defeat on the Left Front which had never faced such a situation even when it had lost power in 1988 to the Congress-Tripura http://dgtlmrktinbng.fourfour.com/home Upajati Juba Samity combine. The BJP s strong showing came as a surprise for many as the party did not even have a councillor in Tripura. It had secured less than two per cent votes in the 2013 Assembly election in the state.

Speaking during a debate on the budget they claimed that promises made had not been fulfilled and that it was anti-farmers anti-youth anti-unemployed anti-poor anti -journalist as well as anti-legislators . Both SP and BSP targeted Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for referring to their tie-up for the Lok Sabha bypolls as saap-chhachhundar ki jodi during a public meeting earlier. During election support given by BSP to SP led to lot of discomfort in your stomach. Chief minister called it a Saanp-Chhahundar ki jodi . This reflects about your mindset about Dalits and Backwards. Mayawati had made it clear that it is not an alliance and supported us against the wrong policies of BJP said Leader of Opposition in Assembly Ram Govind Chaudhary. Alleging that just about 60 per cent of the previous budget had been utilised (see box) Chaudhary referred to the latest budget as chhalawa . Chaudhary said that while the state government was subjected to step-motherly treatment by the Centre in the past it now gave more to the state government than what was requested. He further claimed that the amount of loan taken by the state government had also increased. This government is trying to pat its own back on the basis of central governments funds said the leader of Opposition. He also alleged that the budgets of significant departments like dairy development public works department tourism vocational education institutional finance etc. had all been reduced as compared to the previous year. Chaudhary added that even the budget meant for the loan waiver scheme in 2017-18 financial year could not be utilised completely. Alleging that the state government in the past year and the Centre had over the past 4 years failed to provide the jobs promised Chaudhary claimed the same was given during the previous regimes of Akhilesh Mayawati Congress. Targeting the recent Investors Summit Chaudhary said while PM Narendra Modi must have covered about 90 per cent of all foreign countries but could not attract foreign investment. He alleged that while a claim is being made for a Swadeshi Andolan the LED lights used to decorate street lights were more like Chinese lights . The SP leader accused the present government of either taking credit for works undertaken during the Akhilesh Yadav-led government or had stopped them in the name of inquiries. Chaudhary alleged that the budget did not provide any schemes for the upliftment of Scheduled Castes and that funds for scholarships had also been reduced. He further said claimed that even Scheduled Tribes like Gond Kharwar were being denied caste certificates. Indirectly referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi s election speech Chaudhary said Wada kiya that usne ki sab muskurayenge Ulta para hai daun ab sab ro rahe hain (He had promised that everyone will smile but now everyone is crying). He added that the budget was mere chu-chu ka muraba . BSP Legislature Party leader Lalji Verma said emotional corruption is one where one promises one thing and then turns their back on that promise. Verma said that neither were youth were given laptops nor did they get free WiFi nor were new colleges opened as promised. Referring to the CM s Saanp-Chhachhundar remark Verma said that while BJP tied up with those who played holi with Tiranga it is troubled by SP BSP supporting each other. He said that the tie-up of BJP in Tripura and Jammu and Kashmir would be considered as political corruption . Referring to Adityanath s speech on the Governor s address where he had said that he is a Hindu and does not celebrate Eid Verma said Chief minister of a state does not have any religion.

Representational image. AFP In order to ensure a straight win in the Rajya Sabha elections from the state a candidate has to get 37 first preference votes. The BJP-led NDA has 324 MLAs enough to clinch eight seats. The BJP which has fielded 11 candidates for the state s 10 RS seats will still be left with 18 surplus votes. Its Noorpur MLA died in a road accident recently. The character of the BJP has been to indulge in horse trading and in order to flaunt the clout of the BJP government in the ongoing Rajya Sabha elections the ruling party has put up additional candidates to widen the gulf between the SP and BSP SP MLC and spokesperson Sunil Singh Sajan told PTI. The SP and the BSP have reached an electoral understanding to back the candidate who is most capable of defeating the BJP. The BJP will indulge in horse trading of MLAs to queer the pitch for the lone BSP candidate Sajan said. UP BJP vice president JPS Rathore told PTI that the party was giving finishing touches to its strategy for the elections and the picture will be clear on March 15 the last day for withdrawal of candidature. Three additional candidates of the BJP and an indepenent jumped into the fray at the last moment. With the rejection of the independent candidate s nomination 13 aspirants are left in the fray for 10 seats. The Samajwadi Party and BSP have fielded Jaya Bachchan and Bhimrao Ambedkar respectively. The BJP candidates in the electoral arena are Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Ashok Bajpai Vijay Pal Singh Tomar Sakal Deep Rajbhar Kanta Kardam Anil Jain Harnath Singh Yadav GVL Narasimha Rao Anil Kumar Agarwal Salil Bishnoi and Vidyasagar Sonkar. Independent candidate Mahesh Chandra Sharma is also trying his luck. The Samajwadi Party has 47 MLAs in the House and can transfer 10 surplus votes to the BSP which has declared its support to the SP candidates in the bypolls for Gorakhpur and Phulpur Lok Sabha seats vacated by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and his deputy Keshav Prasad Maurya. The seven votes of the Congress and one of RLD can help the BSP candidate reach the magic figure of 37 votes. In that scenario the vote of Nitin Agarwal the son of Naresh Agarwal will be crucial. The country s most populous state sends 31 members to the 245-member Rajya Sabha and the BJP which won a massive victory in the 2017 Assembly elections is yet to get a lion s share of these. With 83 members in the Upper House the NDA is well short of a majority. The BJP has 58 Rajya Sabha MPs. During the 2012 biennial elections to the Rajya Sabha the then ruling SP had bagged six seats. Like in Uttar Pradesh where the BJP hopes to gain from dissension in rival parties it has fielded extra candidates in Maharashtra and Gujarat. In Maharashtra where it can win three seats it has put up four candidates and in Gujarat where the party can easily bag two it has fielded three nominees.

Bypolls for Bihar s Lok Sabha Araria seat and two assembly seats -Jehanabad and Bhabua- are also being held on Sunday. The bye-elections in Bihar are being seen as a litmus test for Chief Minister Nitish Kumar after he exited the Grand Alliance between the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Congress and his party Janata Dal (United). Bihar saw 31.25% voter turnout recorded in Araria Lok Sabha by-poll 24.5% in Bhabua and 28.6% in Jehanabad assembly by-polls till 12 noon.

Meanwhile candidates in the fray for the Phulpur seat are Kaushalendra Singh Patel from the BJP Nagendra Pratap Singh Patel from the SP and Manish Mishra from the Congress. 2. Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party join hands: The BSP burying its 25-year-old bitter rivalry with the SP has extended its support to the SP nominees on both seats 3. Raj Babbar slams Akhilesh Yadav Speaking on the sidelines of the campaign that ended on March 10 Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee (UPCC) chief Raj Babbar said his party wanted to join hands with the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and the SP but this did not happen due to Akhilesh Yadav s stubborness . The Congress leader maintained that an SP-BSP-Congress alliance in the bypolls would have made sure that both the Gorakhpur and Phulpur seats were snathced from the Bharatiya Janata Party. The Congress and SP had forged an alliance for the 2017 Uttar Pradesh state assembly elections but were routed in an electoral onslaught by the BJP. While the SP was voted out of power and its tally slipped to 47 from 224 in the 2017 assembly polls the Congress could win only seven seats. 4. Secular parties have to come together to oust Narendra Modi in 2019 Raj Babbar also claimed that to oust Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in 2019 all secular parties will have to join forces and put up a united front. The actor-turned-politician claimed that otherwise defeating the BJP would not be easy . 5.

My name is Ranveer and we have been visiting all the markets for a week talking to people. The response has been warm the prime minister lookalike told ANI. The Amit Shah of the pair said We have received so much love from the public that I think we will win by five lakh votes. Bihar 6. Bypolls in Araria Bhabua Jehanabad: The Araria seat fell vacant after the death of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MP Mohammad Taslimuddin. The key contenders for the seat are RJD s Sarafaraz Alam Taslimuddin s son and the BJP s Pradip Singh. The Bhabua assembly seat got vacant after the death of BJP s Anand Bhushan Pandey and the party has fielded his widow Rinki Rani Pandey. Another key candidate for the seat is Shambhu Patel from Congress. The death of RJD MLA Mundrika Singh Yadav necessitated the bypoll for Jehanabad seat and his son Uday Yadav is contesting for the seat. Another key candidate in the fray is JDU s Abhiram Sharma. 7. BJP Bihar chief says RJD win would turn Araria into ISI hub Bharatiya Janata Party s (BJP) Bihar chief Nityanand Rai on Friday said that Araria will turn into an Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) hub if Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) wins in the upcoming Lok Sabha bypoll election. If (Sarfaraz Alam of RJD) wins then Araria would turn into an ISI hub said BJP s Bihar Chief Nityanand Rai while speaking at a public rally. Araria is a muslim-dominated area with over 40 percent of the population belonging to the religion. Rai went on to say that if Pradip Singh a bypoll candidate happens to win the election then the area would remain a hub of patriots. 8. High stakes for NDA and Mahagathbandhan: Both National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and Grand Alliance are using the bypolls as an opportunity to prove their superiority over the other in terms of popularity among the masses. While the NDA leaders are confident that they will win all the three seats the Grand Alliance leaders have repeatedly claimed to pull out victory even in the absence of their star campaigner and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad -- behind bars in connection with two fodder scam cases. 9. Nitish Kumar second fiddle to BJP? This round of bypolls provides both the BJP and the RJD an opportunity to take on each other directly in Bihar as a precursor to parliamentary polls next year when they will also most likely be the main opponents. Ever since the Nitish Kumar-led Janata Dal-United (JD-U) joined the NDA back the BJP has virtually replaced the former as the main rival to Lalu Prasad s RJD. This has triggered a debate in the political circles whether Nitish Kumar has accepted the role of a junior partner in state politics. By accepting the BJP offer to contest from Jehannabad after announcing publicly not to fight the by-elections the JD-U has given an opportunity to the BJP to prove that it is number one in Bihar NDA. 10. BJP s message of accommodative politics: A senior BJP leader said that party has decided in favour of the JD-U to contest from Jehanabad to send a political message http://www.icsi.edu/capitalmarketweek/UserProfile/tabid/4706/userId/2053446/Default.aspx that the NDA can accommodate its allies to keep the alliance stable. The current bypoll equations are also likely to reflect in the seat-sharing between the BJP and the JD-U for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections said a senior JD-U leader who did not want to be named.
