In this election, he received thirty thousand votes. As a result, Congress candidate Shankarlal Bairwa lost the election.
Anandiram Khatik will return home

Assembly elections are to be held in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, where the deadline given by the Supreme Court for holding elections is ending on September 30.

After 10 years, elections have finally been announced in the paradise of the world. Jammu and Kashmir will get its elected government on 4th October. The results will be announced after the assembly elections on this day. After this, it will be decided whose government will be formed. However, many changes occurred in Jammu and Kashmir in these ten years.
Schedule of Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections
Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections will be held in three phases. The first phase of elections will be held on the 18th of September 2024. Furthermore, the second phase of elections will be held on the 25th of September. The final and the last third phase will be held on the 1st of October 2024. Moreover, the counting of votes will be on the 4th of October 2024. Hence the path to forming a new Jammu and Kashmir assembly will be opened after the 4th of October.
Jammu and Kashmir assembly seats
After the delimitation held last year in Jammu and Kashmir, there are now 90 assembly seats. For the first time, 9 seats have been reserved for ST.

In 1956, when a separate constitution of Jammu and Kashmir was made, 24 seats of POK were earmarked in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly. It is believed that one day POK will come out of Pakistan and join India. On 22 February 1994, Parliament unanimously passed a historic resolution demanding that Pakistan vacate the areas of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir which it had occupied through invasion.
Hence in this election also, 24 seats will remain reserved for Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. This area of ​​Jammu and Kashmir is currently under Pakistani occupation. That is why it is called POK.

Kamala Harris is being considered as the candidate in place of Joe Biden by many of the leaders of the Democrat Party, donors and party workers. This is because they think Joe Biden may remain weak in front of Trump.
Presidential elections are approaching in America and the Democrat Party is facing a different problem. Questions are being raised on Joe Biden’s presidential candidacy and according to media reports, the Democrat Party is now looking towards Vice President Kamala Harris for the candidacy.

Kamala Harris and her campaign team are currently publicly supporting Biden, but the subtle changes that have taken place in her campaign in recent days have also strengthened the speculation. Kamala Harris is attacking Donald Trump more aggressively in her statements.
Joe Biden’s election campaign dismissed the speculations.
Efforts are going on within the party to persuade Joe Biden to support Kamala Harris. Amidst these discussions, Biden’s election campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz rejected all the speculations and said that Joe Biden would be the presidential candidate from the Democrat Party and Kamala Harris would be his ally.

Specifically, 41% of Americans disapprove of her performance while 37% approve​​. Another poll indicates similar results with 42% disapproving and 36% approving, resulting in a net approval rating of -6%​​. The slight variations across polls highlight the general public’s mixed views on her performance.
Personal Life of Kamala Harris
Kamala Harris, born on October 20, 1964, in Oakland, California, is the daughter of Shyamala Gopalan, an Indian biologist specializing in breast cancer research, and Donald Harris, a Jamaican-American professor of economics. Harris’s multicultural background played a significant role in shaping her worldview and political career.
Harris attended Howard University, a historically Black university in Washington, D.C., where she majored in political science and economics. She then earned her law degree from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law.
Harris’s personal life includes her marriage to Douglas Emhoff, an attorney, in 2014. She is also a stepmother to Emhoff’s two children from his previous marriage.
Career of Kamala
Kamala Harris’s career in public service began in the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office. Here she focused on prosecuting child sexual assault cases. She later became the District Attorney of San Francisco in 2004. There she implemented programs aimed at reducing recidivism and addressing social issues that contribute to crime. In 2010, Harris was elected as the Attorney General of California. Thus she is the first woman and the first African American to hold the position. During her tenure, she focused on issues such as criminal justice reform, consumer protection, and marriage equality.
In 2016, Harris was elected to the U.S. Senate, representing California. As a senator, she served on several key committees, including the Judiciary, Intelligence, and Homeland Security committees.

Vasundhara Raje has stated some words during the Sunder Singh Bhandari Charitable Trust program in Udaipur has now been discussed a lot. She participated as a keynote speaker in the lecture series and special public honour program organized by Sunder Singh Bhandari Charitable Trust in Udaipur. During this program, she mentioned that in the past, loyalty in politics was a result of respect and support for the leader. This does not happen at the current time. Today, individuals prioritize severing the finger that they rely on to learn how to walk.
Vasundhara Raje said a big thing through gestures
It is believed that CM Vasundhara Raje broke her silence after a long time and said a big thing through gestures. She was referring to those people whom she once promoted in Rajasthan politics, but today his politics have changed. Moreover, this indication was towards the start of Jan Sangh.
Vasundhara Raje reminded the contribution of Rajmata Vijaya Raje Scindia, the founder member of Jan Sangh. She said for the first time in the country, the Government of Jan Sangh was formed in MP in 1967 and Shri Govind Narayan Singh was made the CM. Bhandari ji promoted many leaders in Rajasthan including Bhairon Singh ji.
Moreover, she said that many times a Sangh branch was organized in her house in Gwalior. Furthermore, she got guidance from patriots like Atal ji, Advani ji, Rajmata Saheb, Bhairon Singh ji, Sunder Singh ji, Bhandari ji, Rajju Bhaiya, KS Sudarshan ji, Dattopant Thengadi ji and Kushabhav Thackeray ji.
Why did Vasundhara Raje say this
This statement is also considered important because the performance of the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections was not as per expectations. Political analysts believe that perhaps Vasundhara Raje was deprived of responsibilities commensurate with her stature, which caused a loss to the party.
Furthermore, it is assumed that her importance was neglected. On the other hand, Shiv Raj Chouhan and Manohar Lal Khattar were made cabinet ministers. Vasundhara Raje, Shivraj and Manhar are former chief ministers of Rajasthan, MP and Haryana respectively. Moreover, her son didn’t get any portfolio.
Recently, BJP leader and former MP Sumedhanand Saraswati made a big statement regarding Vasundhara Raje. He had said about Vasundhara Raje that she is a great leader. Don’t know why she was not seen anywhere in the elections. Moreover, he said if she had come to campaign, the BJP would have got a big advantage on seats. I don’t know the reason why she was not seen in the elections, but her presence would have been beneficial.
Governor Gulabchand Kataria was also present in the program.
Assam Governor Gulabchand Kataria was also present at the program where she had reached. During this, Kataria also got into an argument with a worker on the stage. It is being said that the senior RSS workers wanted to honour the former Chief Minister, but Kataria stopped them. After this, the security personnel forcibly removed the senior RSS worker from the stage.
This program was organized on the occasion of the death anniversary of Sunder Singh Bhandari. He was a founding member of Jan Sangh. Moreover, this program is on the martyrdom day of founder Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee. The chief guest of the program was Assam Governor Gulab Chand Kataria. Furthermore, special guest minister Babu Lal Kharadi ji, Assembly Speaker Vasudev Divanani ji and Rajya Sabha MP Rajendra Gehlot ji were also present in this program.
Priyanka Gandhi will debut in politics by contesting for the first time in the Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency.
Priyanka Gandhi, full name Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, is an Indian politician and member of the Indian National Congress (INC). Born on January 12, 1972, she is the daughter of Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi, and the granddaughter of Indira Gandhi, one of India’s most prominent political families. Her brother, Rahul Gandhi, is also a notable politician within the INC.
Priyanka has been active in Indian politics for many years, though she formally entered the political arena in a significant way more recently. Known for her charismatic presence and effective communication skills, she has campaigned extensively for the Congress party, especially in Uttar Pradesh. Her political role includes addressing rallies, managing campaigns, and working on party strategy.
In January 2019, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was appointed the General Secretary of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) in Eastern Uttar Pradesh, marking her formal entry into a significant leadership role within the party. Her involvement is seen as an attempt to rejuvenate the Congress party’s fortunes, particularly in a state crucial for political success in India.
Despite being a prominent political figure, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has kept a relatively low profile compared to other family members until her recent active political engagement. Her approach combines modern campaign strategies with traditional grassroots politics, aiming to connect with a diverse voter base. But now Priyanka will debut by contesting for a member of parliament.
Mallikarjun Kharge announced about debut of Priyanka Gandhi
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will remain MP from Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh. He will leave the Wayanad seat of Kerala. Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge gave this information on Monday. Kharge said that Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will contest the by-election from Wayanad parliamentary seat. With this announcement, Priyanka Gandhi is also going to debut in politics. This will be the first time that she will contest elections.
Mallikarjun Kharge said Rahul Gandhi has won the Lok Sabha elections on two seats. Due to this, he will have to give up one seat. The party has decided that Rahul Gandhi should keep the Rae Bareli seat. Because his family has a connection with the people of Rae Bareli. The members of the Gandhi family have been contesting elections for generations from Rae Bareli. Therefore, public and party leaders also say that it would be good for Congress for Rahul Gandhi should remain the MP from Rae Bareli.
Rahul has also got the love of the people of Wayanad. The people there also want Rahul Gandhi to remain MP from Wayanad. But, the law does not allow this. This is the reason why after careful consideration we have decided to contest the elections of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on the vacant seat from Wayanad. I thank Rahul and Priyanka that they have considered my views and that of the party.
Ajay Rai expressed his happiness
Uttar Pradesh Congress President Ajay Rai expressed on Priyanka Gandhi contesting her first election from Wayanad. He said that Priyanka Gandhi is the leader of our people. Moreover, he admires Priyanka for the way she works. He said certainly she would win the election from Wayanad’s seat with huge votes. Due to this, the entire belt of South India will be strengthened.
In Rae Bareli, Sonia Gandhi said I am handing over my son. Then Rahul Gandhi proved that he had been handed over not temporarily but permanently. The way the Gandhi family has served the people of Rae Bareli, Rahul Gandhi will also serve in the same way.
Shehzad Poonawala commented on Priyanka Gandhi contesting elections from Wayanad
BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala targeted the Gandhi family over Priyanka Gandhi contesting elections from Wayanad. He said that Congress is not a party but a family company, this has been proved today. Mother will be in Rajya Sabha, son will be from one Lok Sabha seat and Priyanka Gandhi will be from another Lok Sabha seat. Meaning, all three members of the family will be in the house. This is just an introduction to familyism.
Moreover, he said that one thing about Rahul has become even more clear. Rahul Gandhi understood that the victory he got on some seats in Uttar Pradesh on the strength of Samajwadi Party votes. Furthermore, now holding by-elections there could put his seat in danger.

2 The threat of right-wing in major countries of Europe
France
Marine Le Pen

Whereas President Emmanuel Macron’s party got only 15% votes. Disappointed Macron immediately dissolved the Parliament and announced mid-term elections for the Parliament. It may be difficult for Macron to serve the remaining three-year term as President if he loses parliamentary elections.
Germany
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, considered far-right and close to Nazi ideology, has been in second place in Germany in the elections. This lead of AfD is being considered important given the federal elections to be held in Germany next year. At the same time, the alliance with the main opposition party Christian Democratic Alliance has got the maximum 30% votes. Whereas Shoults’s ruling coalition got about 19% votes.
Austria
For the first time, the far-right Freedom Party has received the highest number of votes, 26%. While the ruling People’s Party got 24% votes, the Social Democrats got 23% votes.
Belgium

The majority of the centre-right will remain
Ursula Van der Leyen
After this rise of right-wing in Europe, centre-right parties still have a majority in Europe. European Commission President Ursula Van der Leyen has announced that we have won the elections. The reason for this is that the seats of his European People’s Group in the 720-member European Parliament have increased by 8 to 184 as compared to last time. Although Leon admitted that the extreme-right parties have gained in the elections. It is still the centre-right parties that bind the whole of Europe at the centre of Europe.

However, some exit polls indicate setbacks in Hindi-speaking states like Bihar, Rajasthan and Haryana. BJP seems to be making good inroads in West Bengal. According to Axis-My India, the BJP seems to be getting a 27% vote share in Kerala. This could be a milestone for the right-wing BJP in this leftist state. Even in Tamil Nadu, BJP can open its account with one or two seats. NDA seems to be in a position to complete a sweep in Karnataka.
JP Nadda and Mallikarjun made claims
BJP national president Jagat Prakash Nadda claimed after the completion of voting that his party would win more than 370 seats. He said that he is confident that BJP will win more than 370 seats in this election and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will become the Prime Minister of the country for the third time.
On the other hand, Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge claimed after the India Group meeting that his alliance would win more than 295 seats. Congress media in-charge Jairam Ramesh said on the prediction of exit polls, “The person who has to exit on June 4 has managed the exit polls”.
