00:00 Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Tilangana, Mizoram and Rajasthan will go to polls on different
00:05 days from November 7 to 30.
00:07 The Election Commission of India said that the votes will be counted for the five states
00:11 on December 3.
00:12 This will set the stage for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls semi-finals.
00:17 Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar said that nearly 16 crore voters would be eligible
00:21 to cast their votes in these elections.
00:24 Madhya Pradesh
00:25 Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan on Monday filed his nomination papers
00:29 from his traditional Boodhani seat for the November 17 assembly polls in the state.
00:35 Monday was the last date for filing nominations while scrutiny will take place on Tuesday.
00:40 Votes will be counted on December 3.
00:42 Before filing his nomination papers in the presence of wife Sadhana, the Chief Minister
00:45 performed puja of his ancestral deity in his native Jayad village, prayed at Sulkanpur
00:50 Devi temple and sought blessings of Narmada River, considered the lifeline of the state
00:55 and revered by its people.
00:57 Mizoram
00:58 Kiren Rijiju launched a scathing attack on Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party for what
01:03 he perceives as their insensitive treatment of the North East.
01:07 He accused Rahul Gandhi of associating with groups that are in opposition to India's interests
01:11 and receive funding from pro-Pakistani sources.
01:14 In Rijiju's view, this behaviour will lead to the Congress party's decline in the North
01:17 East.
01:18 Rijiju highlighted that while Mizoram boasts dominant regional parties that champion the
01:23 Mizo cause and ethnicity, the BJP has successfully conveyed its commitment to safeguarding the
01:28 rights and preserving the unique culture and heritage of the indigenous people.
01:32 The BJP is unequivocal when it comes to protecting the identity of Mizoram.
01:36 Further commenting on Congress and Rahul Gandhi, Rijiju said that "In my opinion, Rahul Gandhi
01:41 is politically unprepared.
01:43 He lacks a profound understanding of both India's constitutional provisions and the
01:47 people of the North East.
01:48 During his visit to Mizoram, which includes a Jewish population, he overlooked addressing
01:53 the terror attack against Israel."
01:55 Tilangana The BJP appears to have drawn inspiration from
01:58 its approach in Uttar Pradesh as it prepares to leverage the OBC card to counter the ruling
02:03 BRS and Congress.
02:05 The party plans not only to give tickets to over 50% of leaders from the OBC community
02:09 but has also decided to appoint an OBC leader as the next Chief Minister should this secure
02:14 power.
02:15 In the first list of 52 candidates, the BJP has given tickets to 20 candidates from the
02:20 backward classes who account for over 50% state electorate.
02:24 After the ruling BRS and Congress failed to give tickets to many OBCs, the Saffron Party
02:28 has decided to field OBC candidates in at least 50% constituencies.
02:33 The OBC leaders in the party expect 40-50 tickets to their communities out of the around
02:37 80 general category seats in 119-member assembly.
02:41 Within the party, the backward classes leaders are hoping to secure 40-50 tickets for their
02:45 communities out of the approximately 80 general category seats in the 119-member assembly.
02:51 They assert that the BJP demonstrates a higher level of commitment to backward classes compared
02:55 to both the BRS and Congress.
02:57 Chhattisgarh
02:58 "The mothers of Chhattisgarh are implementing a major justice scheme for their sisters.
03:09 If you take the cylinder to fill it again, you will get a subsidy of Rs 500."
03:22 Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Wadhra on Monday promised a slew of measures, including
03:25 waiving of loans of self-help groups, subsidised coking gas cylinders under a new scheme and
03:30 free treatment to victims of road accidents if a party retains power in Chhattisgarh.
03:35 Addressing a rally at Jalbandha in the Khairagarh assembly segment, she also said around 6,000
03:40 government higher secondary and high schools will be upgraded to Swami, Atmanand, English
03:45 and Hindi medium schools.
03:47 She also promised up to 200 units of free electricity if Congress retains power.
03:52 Khairagarh is among the 20 assembly constituencies which will go to polls in the first phase
03:56 on November 7.
03:57 The remaining 70 constituencies will see voting in the second phase on November 17.
04:02 Votes will be counted on December 3.
04:04 Rajasthan
04:05 Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot's son Vaibhav Gehlot on Monday appeared before
04:09 the ED here for questioning in a foreign exchange violation case.
04:12 The federal agency had last week issued summons to Vaibhav Gehlot to appear before the investigating
04:16 officer of the case at its headquarters on APJ Abdul Kalam Road under the provisions
04:21 of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA).
04:23 Vaibhav Gehlot is also the president of the Rajasthan Cricket Association and a member
04:28 of the All India Congress Committee.
04:30 Following the summons, he had said that the agency was putting up 10-12 years old false
04:34 allegations against him and that too after election dates were declared.
04:38 Voting for the 200-seat Rajasthan Assembly will be held on November 25.
04:42 Counting of votes in Rajasthan along with four other states of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh,
04:46 Mizoram and Telangana will take place on December 3.
