BJP adopts coordination strategy in Bihar

Sensing Bihar CM Nitish Kumar’s stance, BJP strategists have chosen a path of coordination rather than confrontation. In response to Nitish’s pressure, the BJP's central leadership is understood to have conceded to his demands, including seat-sharing arrangements. They have also directed state-level leaders to project unity through the NDA conference. 

What is AAP’s counter-strategy to woo Purvanchali voters in Delhi!

Manoj Tiwari, actor-turned-politician, is a strong face for the BJP to impress upon the Purvanchali voters. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was for a long time, looking to woo this category too and now the party has got the solution. Purvanchali is a term referring to migrants of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh and it is an influential voter base in Delhi. Trinamool Congress MP from Asansol Shatrughan Sinha will campaign for the Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi. Sinha is prepared to campaign for the AAP in at least three constituencies on February 1 and 2. These include former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's New Delhi Constituency, Chief Minister Atishi's Kalkaji Constituency, and Manish Sisodia's Jangpura Constituency. Also, Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav is prepared to campaign for the AAP candidates. The step may further alienate Congress in INDI alliance as the TMC, Samajwadi Party (SP) and the AAP are part of the bloc which has the Congress as its largest party.
