The biggies are scared of elections |
February 16 2014 |
The take on General Elections 2014 is different. The political landscape is changing everyday and even the biggies of the game are not sure about their ground. For instance, Digvijay Singh’s claims about contesting the elections against BJP’s bigshots Sushma Swaraj from Vidisha carried no steam; no he seems unwilling to contest even from Sagar. Another prominent Congress leader Suresh Pachauri has refused to contest the elections and P C Joshi from Rajasthan is talking in the same language. Sachin Pilot wants to leave his Ajmer seat and try his luck from Joshi’s seat in Bhilwara. Minister of State for Sports Bhanwar Jitendra Singh wants his wife Ambika Singh to contest the elections from his seat in Alwar. Despite the Modi winds blowing throughout the country, several prominent leaders in the party are feeling out of sorts. Politicians such as Arun Jaitley, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and Venkaiah Naidu don’t want to contest the elections. Modi Forum is miffed with Shatrughan Sinha’s tall claims and wants Ravi Shankar Prasad to contest from Sinha’s seat in Patna. Kalyan Singh’s son Rajveer Singh is also not sure about contesting elections from Bulandshahr and wants the Rajya Sabha for himself. Shashi Tharoor is in mourning over his wife Sunanda’s untimely death and he is not interested in contesting the elections from Thiruvananthapuram. |
