well. The B JP has released its fifth list and in 111 candidates some very interesting faces. Kangar Ranna has been fielded from Himachal Pradesh's Man, the B JP. Of course, releasing lists for key states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, also West Bengal. A significant chunk of candidates in this list from West Bengal as well. Bihar is a big focus After the seat sharing arrangement was finalised, with JDU the BJP contesting on 17 seats and the BJ and the JDU on 16. You also have Arun Gove being fielded from meat. Remember Arun Gove, who we all know as, uh Ra Rama Rama's Ram Uh that, uh, that TV series Rama's rams Of course that also interesting there Odisha, you have Samit Patra also, you know Minister Darin Pradhan contesting there as well Uh, some something which was on expected lines. Also, Naveen Jindal, who joined the B JP just hours ago, has now been fielded uh, from Kuru Shera as well, where he has contested earlier from the Congress as well. So that's interesting. There in West Bengal, a battle of Royals. There you have the BJP releasing the candidate name for Krishna Nagar as well, Which is Maa Mora's constituency up. Of course. The big takeaways are that main Gandhi has been fielded from Sultan pur. Uh, but VUN Gandhi has been dropped from PB. So that is interesting as well. Of all these reports about Bar Gandhi being dropped and that was being seen almost as a foregone conclusion, Mara is now joining us Live on the broadcast also, Tanishk is with us. Ghazali and SAB also Mara over to you. Your big takeaways. Yes. So this the B JP has gone ahead. Announced 402 candidates for the upcoming looks of polls. So completed 70% or should I say 80% of the list? And you know, 60 plus seats will be fought by its allies. So another list expected. But overall, let me begin with Bihar. All 17 from Bihar. Most candidates have been repeated, including Ravishankar Prasad from Patna, Um, and several others. Rajiv Pratap, Rudi. I would also say someone who was dropped from as a minister from, uh, Skill Development Ministry created mid midterm is being fielded from sarin. Uh, that's where L Yadav's daughter will be contesting from, uh, again actress Kangar Rana as you pointed out, rightly from Mandi in Himachal. An interesting phase there. Former Karnataka Chief Minister Ji Shear being fielded from Belgo during the Karnataka elections he had jumped the ship and joined the congress. He faced the electoral debacle and then he joined the B JP pack and he's been fielded from Belgo. Um in? Why not? The BJP has chosen that that their candidate very carefully because BJP Kerala state president case rendra will be contesting from Why not? Uh, CPIM remember has already announced a candidate against Rahul Gandhi as well. Uh uh B JP has announced 21 candidates from Orissa. Uh, not much of a surprise here from prajit Sarangi is a sitting MP from Bhubaneswar to uh uh uh you know Mr Panda from, uh, uh Kender Para who? That's a constituency that he is represented in the past as well. So he's being refilled from there. Uh, Uttar Pradesh. I would say two significant names that have been dropped one, of course of VUN Gandhi. Another one, of the former army chief who also served as a union minister in the present Modi government. That is General VK Singh, 19 names from bingo. Uh, significant among them is also Dele Ghosh, who has been moved to ban Durgapur. SSAW has been dropped from the Jing Mawa Moitra in order to give mawa moitra a fight. Uh, Raj Matha Amrita Roy has been fielded against her. And recently we saw justice GH pad quit judiciary and join the B JP he has been fielded from Look again. Let's look at the the candidate from Jharkhand. Sita Surin Uh the you know, the the sister in law of Haman Surin, the former chief minister who joined the B JP recently has been fielded as well. So all those joinings which have happened recently, including the most recent joining of Naveen Jindal. All of them are, you know, figuring in this list of 111 which is the fifth list of the BJP. Mara, thanks very much for that analysis. Sort of over to you for Bengal, you know, as Mara pointing out Raj Matha being fielded against Mawa Moitra. So certainly that's going to be an interesting battle to watch out for Sandesh Kali also, of course, the B JP Fielding Reka. Patra. Go ahead. Yes, Very interesting list from the BJP in West Bengal. In fact, you know on top of that list is Rekha Patra, someone who's been at the forefront of that movement in Shands Kali, someone who's been one of those women from Chandi Kali, who have been speaking out so obviously her candidature is very, very interesting. She's been named as a candidate in Bost, where the T MC has already announced its candidate. And of course you know, shade. Kali is a block within the Bushi Heart parliamentary constituency. But it's interesting to see that you know, the BJP has, you know, at least walked the talk when it comes to, you know, shade Khai and fielded one of the women from Shan Kali. That's of course, a very, very interesting candidate as far as Shand Khali is concerned now, apart from that, we have very interesting names and tap Roy, remember there was a raid at his house. Then he, of course, quit the BJP. I beg your pardon? The TMC He was of course not going to be given the Kolkata north seat that he was vying for in the T MC. The TMC has fielded senior parliamentarian sh bath from that seat but Tapu Roy went joined the BJP. He has now been fielded against Shib bap Paha from the Kolkata north seat. Then you have the bus. Choudhury, who's been moved from Raigan to Kolkata, south Kolkata south again has already TMC candidate Mala Roy again. It's going to be a battle between women. Krishna Nagar, as mentioned earlier. Interesting. The Raj Mata there the royal family, you know, Member also being fielded on behalf of the BJP. She takes on Mo mo of the TR Congress who, as you know, was expelled from Parliament again. A battle between two women Then you have mad again. Mad is interesting. Kush, the former state BJP president widely credited with bringing the BJP to 18 seats in 2019, now moves from Mao to Dur where he takes on K AAD of the T MC 1989 World Cup 1983 World Cup winning team member and also someone who's been with the BJP in the past. But of course, this time contesting from DAP. But let me just go back to mid because that's still interesting as so. Paul is being fielded from there and she takes on June Malia actor and T MC MA in the seat of me so very interesting names from the BJP as far as West Bengal is concerned. Raju bta the incumbent gets repeated from D. There was speculation that the BJP might go for Harsh and Shimla former chiefs, former foreign secretary. But that has not happened so fascinating there. And, as you said as well, extremely interesting. You know, as you said, the BJP at least walking the talk on its sandesh Kali issue but is also with us, and we'll go across to him for U. But Ghazali quickly coming to you. You know, Kagan Rano seems to be something you know, an interesting candidate being fielded by the D JP, though some would point out that she has made rather controversial statements contentious ones in the past couple of months, particularly, but nonetheless an interesting face and especially in man, which, anyway is an interesting seat in Himachal Pradesh. See no surprises for the political observers who have seen the developments in Himachal Pradesh as well as the trajectory of Kanga. And she was, She is a self professed fan of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. She was there at the Ram Temple, Uh, ceremony in Ajo there as well. And for the last two years, her movements and, uh, uh, activities hinted that somewhere she is interested in politics, which she has admitted as well in the past. Her family leanings. Her grandfather was an E a and he was a Congress ML a from Himachal Pradesh. So her mother had once sort of admitted on camera that the family had Congress inclinations, that they were allied with the Congress Party. But now, due to KA, they are switching over to the BJP. So interesting, as far as the profile of the seat is concerned because that very seat Mandisa seat is being represented by Praha Singh, the Congress president. Now she has refused that she won't be contesting the elections. Out of the 17 assembly constituencies which come under the Mandisa seat around 13 is being represented by the BJP. It also happens to be the BJP's stronghold as far as the Assembly constituency is concerned, because even in 2020 two's assembly elections, Congress managed to win. The polls came to power, but Monday gave maximum seats to BJP. Former Chief Minister Jam Thakur also represents one of the constituencies so politically That seat Very well suits actress Ka Ran, who will be making her poll debut from Himachal Pradesh. Thanks, Ali, for that pointed analysis there Tanish coming to you, You know, UP also expected lines VUN Gandhi being dropped. You have Meka Gandhi, though, being, you know, sort of refield from Sultan pur your big takeaways. Well, of course. You know, uh, if we talk about if we talk about the major names that have been dropped, of course, uh, one is General VK Singh dropped from Ghaziabad Another, uh uh, another war Gandhi dropped from Pip. Third is, of course, Santosh Gwar, An eight time MP from BA. He has also been dropped. So these three names major names have been dropped. Uh, Arun go. Well, you know the one who played, uh ra indeed Ramaya he will be fighting from he will be fighting from me and instead of General V is saying it will be a gar who also represents the who also represents the Gaza Assembly constituency fighting fighting from will be fighting from the Gaza looks about this time war Gandhi, Of course, it was very much expected That war Gandhi will be dropped. But now instead of war Gandhi it is Jitin Prasad who will be contesting for the P. Jada was seeking inroads to Delhi. He has finally got it. But interestingly at the same time, the BJP has fielded Mika Gandhi. You know Mika Gandhi, you know from Sultan Pur So keeping one member, one member of the family in the political fray and you know, cancelling ticket of Bar Gandhi. Of course, Very interesting to see how this how this plays out But another important name name has been cancelled from the Badu ticket. And then, of course, we come come to barely chat. Gangwar has has won the gang war with Santhosh gang Santos Gangwar is an eight time MP who has been now finally replaced by the BJP chat. Gar will be fighting from barely this time. So of course, these important names. But if you talk about the names that are not in the list are of course rai barely BJP playing checkers, waiting for Congress to announce their candidate. And is kasar gun, the controversial seat of Karran from where is the member of Parliament? These two names are still not out around around around 13 names in this list around 10 more expected. Yes, thanks very much for that. So, of course, the BJP's fifth list out interesting names. There are many interesting battles now, because remember, that's what we we are now going to watch out for the Congress also keeping its cards close to its chest. The BJP releasing its list now. So interesting battles now, coming up across India. Of course, as we saw Krishna Nagar, one of them jag shear being fielded, being fielded from belgaum in In, um, you know, you have battles in Uttar Pradesh also turning out to be extremely interesting.
