The NDA in Assam secures 325 uncontested panchayat seats, reflecting significant trust

Ahead of Assam's panchayat elections, 348 seats are uncontested with the NDA securing 325. CM Himanta Biswa Sarma highlights this as unprecedented trust. Polls occur in 27 districts, involving 1.80 crore voters.

According to the chart he shared, Independents have secured 15 Anchalik Parishad seats uncontested, the Congress nine and the AIUDF one seat.
"This is a massive and unprecedented mandate in Assam's political history. It reflects the immense trust and overwhelming love that the people of Assam have for the NDA and for our Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji," Sarma said.
"We are confident that when the final election results are declared, this tally will grow even more impressive. The NDA is all set to sweep the Panchayat elections in Assam," he said.
An official of the State Election Commission said the tally of uncontested seats will be issued on Saturday.
Counting of votes for the panchayat elections will be held on May 11.
There are a total of 21,920 seats in the Gram Panchayats, 2,192 seats in the Anchalik Parishads and 397 in the Zilla Parishads.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi for the first time after returning to the NDA fold

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi on Wednesday. This was the first meeting between the two after Nitish Kumar broke his party's alliance with the RJD and returned to the BJP-led NDA's fold on January 28.&nbsp;
The meeting took place five days before the new Nitish government faces a trust vote in the Bihar assembly on February 12.
Kumar is also expected to meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP president J P Nadda in the national capital.
Bihar Deputy Chief Ministers Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, both from the BJP, called on the PM on Monday.
According to JD(U) sources, issues pertaining to Rajya Sabha polls in the state may also be discussed during the CM's meeting with top BJP leaders.
Six Rajya Sabha seats in Bihar are falling vacant, for which elections are scheduled to be held on February 27.
Of the six seats, two are currently with the JD(U), held by former party president Bashishth Narayan Singh and senior leader Aneel Hegde, while two are with the RJD, held by Manoj Kumar Jha and Misa Bharti..
One seat is held by BJP's Sushil Kumar Modi, who was earlier a deputy chief minister, and one with the Congress, held by its state unit president Akhilesh Prasad Singh.&nbsp;

The development comes ahead of the general elections in the country scheduled to be held in 2024.

The Janata Dal (Secular) formally joined the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) on Friday as Former Karnataka Chief Minister and JDS leader HD Kumaraswamy met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi.
BJP President JP Nadda and Goa CM Pramod Sawant were also present during the meeting.
Former Prime Minister and JD (S) patriarch HD Deve Gowda and his son Kumaraswamy reportedly met BJP President JP Nadda and Amit Shah in the Parliament on Thursday.
There were talks within Karnataka&rsquo;s political circles for the past few months that the JD(S) could ally with the BJP for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
The JD(S) had aligned with the Congress in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, however, the parties faced a drubbing as the BJP swept 25 out of the 28 seats in Karnataka and even an independent candidate supported by the BJP won from the Mandya constituency.

As two opposing political alliances held separate meetings to discuss strategy for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the political crisis in Maharashtra was visible at a national level

The political crisis in Maharashtra played out at a national level on July 18 as the ruling NDA and Opposition parties got into a huddle to check who their friends are.&nbsp;
The recently split NCP had a presence at both meetings. While NCP supremo Sharad Pawar attended the Opposition meet in Bengaluru, his rebel nephew and now Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar was seen at the NDA meet in New Delhi along with his loyalist Praful Patel.&nbsp;
The story was not different for the two Shiv Senas. While Uddhav Thackeray and Adtiya Thackeray were present at the Opposition alliance meet, Eknath Shinde - Maharashtra chief minister and the man who triggered the Sena Split - was the one to welcome Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the ruling coalition's meeting.&nbsp;

Speaking at a press conference, Nadda further  said, the reach and scope of National Democratic Alliance has increased over years.

The NDA meeting will see the presence of a host of existing and new BJP allies as the ruling party has worked overtime in recent weeks and months to seal fresh alliances and win back those who had quit the ruling combine.&nbsp;

Members of both houses of Parliament and state legislature, belonging to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s JD(U), converged here on Tuesday to attend a meeting at his official residence, amid speculations of a major political move by the veteran leader, senior party functionaries said.
The meeting is scheduled to commence at 11 AM.
While the outcome will be known once the meeting is over, more than one of the prospective attendees denied the party’s ties with the BJP having worsened to an extent to call for a realignment.
“Our party had held many such meetings of MPs and MLAs in the past. We have been told that the current meeting has been called to discuss organisational matters. Never heard about any major crisis in the NDA," said Ram Nath Thakur, a Rajya Sabha member, low key but known to enjoy proximity to the chief minister by virtue of being the son of late Karpoori Thakur, the latter's political mentor.
Another confidant of Kumar, Leshi Singh, who is an MLA and a minister in his cabinet, said, “I was away for the last four or five days but I have an idea of how things have been. There does not seem to be any major crisis facing the NDA government. It goes without saying, though, that the party will abide by any decision taken by the chief minister”.
Meanwhile, MLAs of the opposition RJD, the largest party in the state assembly, have also been commanded by their leader Tejashwi Yadav to remain present at a meeting which will be held at his mother Rabri Devi’s Circular Road bungalow, a stone’s throw from the CM’s Anney Marg residence.
Chetan Anand, a young RJD MLA who is serving his first term, said, "Rumours of political realignment have been afloat for a couple of years. Let us not make any rash assumptions. Once the party leadership takes any decision, it will be definitely made known to all."

Yashwant Sinha is the joint Opposition candidate for the Presidential polls. The Opposition seems to bank on Sinha's 'veteranism' as an asset against the NDA nominee as it attempts to mount an ideological contest against BJP.

Presidential polls: From a BJP loyalist to a fierce critic, Yashwant Sinha's political journey

Yashwant Sinha&rsquo;s political career has come full circle, from being a fierce critic of the Congress party and the Left while being in the BJP for over two decades to being a presidential candidate with the support of those very parties.

Yashwant Sinha, the bureaucrat-turned-politician, has been named as the joint Opposition candidate for the President's post that goes to the polls on July 18.
While Sinha's candidature may have united the Opposition, the balance is tilting towards National Democratic Alliance's (NDA) Droupadi Murmu, especially in the backdrop of the recent political developments in Maharashtra.
The Opposition seems to bank on Sinha's 'veteranism' as an asset against the NDA nominee as it attempts to mount an ideological contest against the BJP.
Early life
Born in Patna on November 6, 1937, Sinha was the ninth of 11 siblings. At the age of 23, he joined the Bihar cadre of the Indian Administrative Service (IAS). During his 24-year-long stint in Administrative Services, he held multiple posts in the Finance and Commerce Departments. He was First Secretary (Commercial) in the Indian Embassy in Bonn, Germany in the early 1970s.&nbsp;
Political journey
In 1984, Sinha quit his service and joined active politics as a Janata Party member. Two years later, he was appointed the party's all-India general secretary and was elected to the Rajya Sabha in 1988. In 1989, Sinha co-founded the Janata Dal and took charge as the party&rsquo;s general secretary. He later joined the BJP and held important portfolios in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government but finance was known to be his forte.&nbsp;
In 2015, the senior politician received Officier de la Legion d'Honneur, the French government's highest civilian award.
An ardent critic of Narendra Modi and his government's policies, Sinha quit the BJP on April 21, 2018.&nbsp;
In 2021, he joined the Trinamool Congress as its vice president and quit last month to contest the presidential election.
Legacy as FM
Sinha was known as the &lsquo;rollback finance minister&rsquo; for rolling back fuel price hikes. His 1998-99 Union Budget was the first to have been presented in the morning, breaking the colonial-era tradition of presenting Union Budgets in the evenings. He is also credited with expanding the highway network across the country and undertaking the Golden Quadrilateral project - the largest highway project in India and the fifth-longest in the world. He made this possible by increasing the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) funds through a petroleum cess. He also de-regularised the petroleum industry.
No love lost between Sinha &amp; BJP
In 2018, Sinha quit the saffron party alleging that the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre was undermining democratic institutions and declared that he would be severing all ties with the BJP and announced his retirement from active politics.
Since then Sinha has been a vocal critic of the Modi government and its policies such as the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in the years to follow, &nbsp;Sinha launched a 3,000 km Gandhi Peace March demanding the withdrawal of the CAA. Along with fellow BJP critics &ndash; former Union minister Arun Shourie and Supreme Court lawyer Prashant Bhushan &ndash; Sinha filed a joint petition in the Supreme Court seeking a review of its clean chit to the Modi government in the Rafale case. The apex court, however, dismissed all the review petitions.
Sinha&rsquo;s political career has come full circle, from being a fierce critic of the Congress party and the Left while being in the BJP for over two decades to being a presidential candidate with the support of those very parties.
