Hello and welcome. You're watching any TV 24 7. I'm Osama Shaba. Top story in the battle for Maharashtra In the upcoming looks about polls AV thre has now hit out at the B JP. This comes hours after Raj Thakur met Amit Shah. It is likely that B JP may tie up with Raj Tak for the looks polls now Tak he said that BJP won't get votes in Prime Minister's name in Maharashtra that people in Maharashtra vote in Tak's name and that BJP is trying to steal leaders from the outside. First they stole Bal Tak's photo. Now they are trying to steal another Tak to that for the name of the well, you know, there are many benefits as far as this entire alliance is concerned, because B JP has not been able to crack some of the Marathi months votes, which is where you know M and will be of benefit to the NBA because it wants to, uh, sort of weaken Uh, tres uh uh you know, influence in many of these maratha centric areas, which is what, uh, you know, ND a is sort of keen on this alliance, which is why they stopped happening and also the Hindu to ideology that, uh, Raj Thakur has been talking about over the last couple of years. That is also advantaged B JP and the thre name itself, which is what thre was, uh, talking about today. In fact, thre for the first time reacted, uh, to the, uh, meeting that took place between M and S Uh, Raj tap as well as Amit saying that D JP is just trying to steal another thre so that B JP can come victorious is also going on to say that earlier D JP had stolen BT photo. Now it is trying to steal a thre because the B JP knows that it cannot get votes in the name of Prime Minister Modi. Therefore, it wants a thre name to its fold, which is you know, one of the reasons why B JP wants our India. Rather wants this alliance to be stitched because it represents Marathi malos. It represents a regional ideology which the MNS stands for M and S has been, uh, fighting for the rights of, uh, Marathi people. So all of this, uh, will be factored in. Uh, why? When this alliance or if this alliance is form, of course the sharing talks happening, Whether this alliance will materialise will it be formed. All that remains to be seen. At this point, of course, the M and a draught as well as B JP leaders side. We will know in a day or two if the alliance is going to be formed and if so, how many seats M and S will end up getting because it's wining for three. There is a possibility that South Bombay be up, uh, maybe secured by eminent. But, uh, that is a matter of, uh, uh, you know, perhaps it will take a couple of more days for it to be finalised. Uh, we'll wait and watch out for that and we'll keep our viewers posted on that. The prime minister was in south India again today, a day after sealing a seat sharing deal with the PM K in Tamil Nadu. The prime minister held what was his first rally with all the B JP S allies in the state for the 2024 polls at Salem City, former ally Palani Swami's hometown. He also intensified his attack on the India block, saying Rahul Gandhi's recent comments on Shakti were an attack on the Hindu religion. Let me know Prime Minister Modi's roadshow at Palak to improve the BJP's prospects in elusive Kerala, where his party's vote share has dwindled between 2019 and 2021 in this congress held constituency. Once AC PM bastion, the Saffron Party had Cup third, the last time Modi's next stop Salem in western Tamil Nadu, his former ally, the AAA MK bastion. This is his third campaign in the region in three weeks, including his roadshow in Kim, where the BJP has a stronger presence. The strategy is to breach the remedial party's stronghold to expand the BJP's negligible presence in Tamil Nadu with Raso's PMK, which has a 5% vote share. Finally joining hands, the Salem rally showcased ND leaders from several smaller parties, continuing his development like Modi pitched his target for 400 seats. ND, or moo yo jam than Mirra, is the name DMK Sarkar, Nin Dora and NRA of Tamil Nadu. Yet besides Kuka, the 19th April a a. Modi took on the ruling DMK that swept the 2019 polls on corruption and family politics and intensified his attack on the indi alliance, saying Rahul Gandhi's recent comments on Shakti were an attack on Hindu religion. Ki Pali really my he un manifesto in the E Kule am Goth, the Hindu dharma. This a female as Hopi Hey, is the opposition hit back? He is doing all the manipulation, our leader said. There is no the sect is misusing by Modi government. What is the meaning of sect? Sect means energy. Sect means power. He taken CB eight in hand enforcement in hand Income tax department in the AA. ADM's exit has weakened the ND in Ta Na, but less than 3% vote share. For the BJP, the alliance is literally on a shaky ground. While P MK's entry would help increase its vote share. Prime Minister Modi would hope his car bombing would break the jinx in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. In its Sam Daniel find the TV after cases Ishwar Aah! Another leader of the BJP in Karnataka made his displeasure known to the public. Devi Saran Gowda, who had earlier announced his retirement from electoral politics, claimed to have been persuaded to make a comeback, only to end up being reportedly humiliated at the last minute are BJP's decisions in the state, triggering further resentment. Praha Rahman brings us this report and worries continue to trouble. The BJP in its southern bastion of Karnataka key party faces disgruntled by denial of tickets like former Chief Minister SADANANDA. Gowda and former deputy chief minister Ks Ishwar have already made public their discontent while Ishwar is contesting as independent. Sadan and the had called for a press conference this morning to announce his plans, but cancelled it after intervention of some senior party leaders. The incumbent, Banglore North MP, had made public his disappointment yesterday a party with the difference. But the bigger worry for the BJP is its ally Jius, which seems keen to contest the Kar seat, a seat won by the BJP in 2019. As the third seat in these polls. It's made its demand in public now, and that puts the BJP in a spot further. Party leader and former Cm HD Kumar, Sami's son, Nikhil Kumar Sami, who lost the Mana seat in 2019, hinted that he may be the candidate and not his father. In these looks about polls, we are a regional party and we need to gain respect among our party workers also. So we are asking not more than three seats to be honest and the two seats have already been cleared. The BJP, though, says it will iron out all the issues within and with its ally. It is sad Goraj himself, who declared that he is not going to contest next looks election. Meanwhile, Party has already taken a stand and also declared candidate for Bangalore not looks about constituency we are in touch with and we are confident. We know he will be with BJP because he's our former chief minister. With resentment brewing within the party, BJP veteran BS Y Ya and his son BY Vijender are in Delhi to iron out differences, overcome hurdles and smoothen the prospects of the party ahead of the Lok Saba election. Will it work with cameraperson Govan Taba Raman in Bangalore for TV time for a very short break? More news and updates on the other side. Welcome back. Jadavpur in West Bengal is considered to be one of the most watched seats in the state. It is known as the chief minister Mamata Banerjee's erstwhile seat used to be former chief minister Budha day Bhattacharya constituency and remains a bustling student hub. We are on ND TV are starting our special series tonight the hot seat. By focusing on this key constituency in Kolkata, Chad, a seat that has always been one of the most watched constituencies in Kolkata, is once again in the spotlight. For the T MC, it is a prestige battle. Party supremo Mamata Banerjee won her first election here in 1984. This time the T MC has fielded actor turned full time politician Sharon Gosh. She heads the T MC Youth Wing and as a local resident, she also sports the noticeable white slippers that Mamata Banerjee is known for. Why I think Matadi wanted me to contest from this seat is because she keeps saying that Chinese is a street fighter and Jabalpur always supports fighters. See, I'm not a part time politician, sort of. I've been working for the past three years in through the Congress I contested 2021 assembly elections and you know I lost Yes, Asan Soul and I lost by a very meagre margin. But for a seat that is known to be the home to intellectuals, the BJP has its homework in place. Ganguly is the chairman and trustee of the Sharma Prasad Mukerjee Research Foundation, affiliated to the BJP. He has hit the ground running. One of the overwhelming issue overweening issue of this constituency is what people tell me and it's known also you can check the record. What people tell me is that the elected member of Parliament for over the last 15 years there have been several elected members of parliament who have been completely apathetic, completely inactive. When it comes to solving the issues of the electorate here, the CP has chosen a student politician keeping the iconic Jur university in mind. Srijan Bacha has been the face of many protests in and around Jur University. We are focusing mainly on livelihood issues. This is the nucleus of our politics. Left politics has always been livelihood issues Roti Kap Makana and we are going to the people and telling them that these are the people who voted for TMC BJP, the current dispensation, the state government, the central government They have done everything They have spread riots. They have extorted money. They have not let people do their votes. In the last election, the Japs constituency is interesting because of the kind of Parliament free constituencies it includes, from the rural Bangor to the suburban bar and sonar pur to upmarket Jap, which is very much a part of Kolkata city and also has a considerable amount of young population. And this interesting mix of constituencies makes it such an iconic seat that is indicative of the political mood of the entire state with cameraperson Ji Shankar, Jap SAB, Gupta and the TV now to Manipur, where, although the spell of violence has ebbed, but the challenge for Election Commission is to hold the polling for two looks of our seats in Manipur this as thousands of people are still away from their homes languishing in relief centres. Ratan Deep Choudhury gets us. This report joined distinguish a big challenge for the Election commission in Manipur, getting people displaced in last year's ethnic violence to vote and her family have been displaced from Manipur's Chur since May last year. They have been living 60 kilometres away at this relief camp at state capital Imphal, with no certainty of when they will be able to return like nango, thousands of manipuri, both Ms and members of the KO community who are voters of the two constituencies of Manipur are displaced. Hundreds have lost their homes forever. Many don't have important documents like voter ID card. The Election Commission has said it will allow the displaced voters of Manipur to exercise their franchise from their respective camps. But on ground challenges remain, including building confidence among voters. Our review all we are refugees here settling in this relief camp. So we are not free. Our minds are brainwashed by this conflict and we are engaged in this conflict. Also, I think the government has not given our full rights about the election because even if they consider a special polling booth for us, we do not have the heart warming heart warming of choosing representative of our man. Don't worry. And the cynicism is not confined to just those who are living in impaled relief camps in the hills too. There are similar concerns. No meaning. I can say right now because of the ID P. More than 10 months now, we don't have the improvements here. More than 10 months we are spending now. Then there is no hope for the US has no meaning for us. Uh, because, uh what whatever we need from the government like resident Su sometimes used to be block and we don't get into. And we have been suffering so much a lot. The Election Commission has decided to hold elections for the two seats in Manipur in two separate phases of which the tribal reserve outer Manipur seat will go to polls in two separate dates. Another key challenge in Manipur. What about those members of the Kzo community who took shelter in neighbouring Misra during the conflict and have not returned so far? The Commission does not have any arrangements in place for such voters. So our workforce, also our human resource, has also been displaced. So there are districts where there is a shortage of human resource and we need a certain number of people to do elections. So this phasing also has been done in a way to ensure that the HR, the security personnel, they all can be used in a judicious manner. In 2019 local elections out of the two seats in Manipur, the BJP and its allies won both the seats while BJP won the me dominated inner Manipur seat. Its ally, the Naga People's Front had won the tribal reserve outer Manipur seat, but this time they would like to win both the seats. But Manipur violence has been turned into a national issue by the Congress and the other opposition party. The big question is. Will it impact votes in Manipur as well? With K Mountain, Jura Annur and BM San Yal in Guwahati. Rade Chowdhury, Wendy TV.
