Six stubborn leaders and 182 seats!

Thus the jumla is made of seven stubborn Indians. Uddhav Thackeray, Nitish Kumar, KCR Chandrashekhar Rao, Arvind Kejriwal. Hemant Soren, Mamata Banerjee and Rahul Gandhi. These seven Indian faces are now the concern of Narendra Modi day and night. Yes, there is nothing but elections in the heart and mind of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Anyway, he has to win the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. They must have understood the hunks of Uddhav Thackeray in Mumbai and Chandrashekhar Rao in Hyderabad on the day of Dussehra. I did not expect it but the crowd gathered at Shivaji Park in Mumbai and the fluency in which Uddhav Thackeray spoke and dared to reveal his Hindu politics with NCP-Congress was amazing. Think what it means? Note: In 2024, Uddhav Thackeray and his alliance will contest elections on 48 Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra.

A month ago, in the same way, in 40 Lok Sabha seats of Bihar, the common bugle of Nitish-Lalu Yadav and Congress sounded. In adjoining Jharkhand, Hemant Soren and Congress MLAs are yet to be ready to sell the BJP’s purchases in the market. So in the 42 Lok Sabha seats of West Bengal adjacent to it, the injured but silent Mamta Banerjee is silently waiting for the time and opportunity. The most stubborn, fearful and resourceful leader of these is Telangana Chief Minister Chandrashekhar Rao. After these five leaders again comes the number of stubborn leader Arvind Kejriwal of 21 Lok Sabha seats in Delhi and Punjab. And note that the existence of these six leaders and the number of Lok Sabha seats of the Political Alliance is some 182!

Guess what will be the shine of the mismatched government of Eknath Shinde and Devendra Fadnavis in the next two years? When the Lok Sabha elections will come, will this defected government be a liability for Modi-Shah or a profitable one! Anyone who has seen and heard the speech and show of Eknath Shinde vs Uddhav Thackeray on the day of Dussehra must have made it a question in everyone’s mind that Modi-Shah did not find any other CM worth making there!

Uddhav Thackeray gave a speech of political understanding. Its effect will remain on Maratha, Dalit, Muslim, secular and all types of BJP and Modi opponents till the elections. No matter how many leaders the Modi government may get imprisoned by ED, CBI, intimidate them, buy them, but the Uddhav Thackeray-Sharad Pawar-Congress triangle will no longer allow a one-sided victory in Maharashtra like BJP’s 2019.

That’s what the address is about. If Narendra Modi is unable to create storms like 2014 and 2019 in the states of six stubborn leaders, then their mathematics will automatically deteriorate. Will there be any impact on Uddhav Thackeray’s health whether his party wins the Mumbai Municipal Corporation elections or not? Even if his party’s election symbol is confiscated, it should not matter. On the contrary, the knot will become deep in Maratha Manush. Because he is the real political heir of Bal Thackeray, it has been stamped on the day of Dussehra in Shivaji Park. With this, there was a complete mobilization of anti-Modi-BJP votes in the 48 Lok Sabha seats of the state!

Similarly, in Telangana, Bihar, Jharkhand, there is a mobilization, then in 42 seats of West Bengal, Mamta Banerjee and her vote equation will surround the BJP on one seat each. Whatever he may do with Modi-Shah Badal, Amarendra Singh etc. in Punjab, but Arvind Kejriwal is not going to die by being trapped in the Chakravyuh till the Lok Sabha elections. It is true that when the Lok Sabha elections will be held in seven seats of Delhi, then the devotees of Narendra Modi will have gathered. Despite all this, how many seats will Kejriwal allow BJP to win out of the 21 seats of his influence? So there is much more interesting to be had ahead of the hard work and melodies of Thackeray, Chandrashekhar Rao, Nitish Kumar, Hemant, Kejriwal and Mamata Banerjee!
