Bihar CM to Contest Against PM Modi in Varanasi? To Kickstart Lok Sabha Campaign from Varanasi
In the wake of the recently concluded assembly elections in five states, political parties across India are gearing up for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is making a strategic move by heading to Varanasi to campaign, sparking speculations about his potential candidacy in the crucial Uttar Pradesh region.
To counter the NDA alliance, opposition parties have united under the banner of the INDIA alliance. Nitish Kumar, a key leader of the Janata Dal (United) and the Chief Minister of Bihar, is reportedly considering contesting the Lok Sabha elections from Uttar Pradesh. This move is seen as a significant challenge to the stronghold of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has secured victory in the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat in the last two elections.
Sources suggest that Nitish Kumar will commence his campaign in Varanasi, making a bold statement against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. There are indications that he might be announced as the prime ministerial face for the INDIA alliance, intensifying the electoral battleground.
In preparation for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Nitish Kumar is scheduled to hold his first public meeting in Varanasi on December 24. The chief focus of this event is to consolidate support from the Kurmi vote bank in Varanasi, a critical electoral strategy for the JD(U) leader.
Bihar Cabinet Minister and JD(U) Organization Minister have confirmed Nitish Kumar’s public meeting in Rohnia, Varanasi, signaling the initiation of his campaign efforts. Currently, there is widespread speculation about Nitish Kumar’s potential contesting constituencies, including Phulpur, Varanasi, Ambedkar Nagar, and Pratapgarh in Uttar Pradesh.
As political dynamics continue to evolve, Nitish Kumar’s foray into Varanasi and the subsequent election rally on December 24 are poised to set the stage for a compelling electoral battle in Uttar Pradesh. Stay tuned for updates on this developing political narrative.
