Talk of Delhi: Struggle between SP-Congress for 3 seats
New Delhi: After Akhilesh Yadav gave an ultimatum to the Congress, the Congress has started discussions with the Samajwadi Party regarding the allocation of seats, but the issue of three seats, Bijnor, Ballia and Moradabad, is going on. Congress has demanded to allocate these three seats to itself but SP is not ready to give up these seats.
Samajwadi Party leaders believe that the Congress is dragging the talk as it talks about an alliance with the BSP. The calculation of Congress is that, if the agreement of seats with BSP is finalized, Akhilesh will be left in the sun. The leaders of the SP say that when Akhilesh expressed his readiness to give 17 seats to the Congress, the Congress said yes. Congress had also approved the name of 17 seats given by Akhilesh, but now Congress has raised a new stand of three seats. Akhilesh Yadav did not join Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra in Amethi due to Congress' stance.
Controversy over Governor keeping women in Raj Bhavan
Governor of West Bengal C.V. Anand Bose has created a new controversy by arranging accommodation in Raj Bhavan for women victims of Sandeshkhali. The Governor has allotted three rooms in the Raj Bhavan for the rape and sexual abuse victims of Sandeshkhali who cannot afford to stay there. Women who cannot stay in Sandeshkhali can come and stay in these rooms.
Sources in the Raj Bhavan say that when the Governor went to Sandeshkhali, the victimized women submitted that they wanted to leave Sandeshkhali. To help them, the Governor has set up a Peace Home in the Raj Bhavan where accommodation and food and drink are provided free of cost. Women workers have also been deployed to help these women.
The Trinamool Congress says that the Governor is making the Raj Bhavan a place of politics. A leader even quipped that why Peace Home was not opened when women were raped and paraded naked in public.

Abdullah met Modi-Shah at midnight
Ghulam Nabi Azade Dr. Farooq Abdullah and Umar Abdullah have created a sensation by claiming that they had a midnight meeting with Narendra Modi and Amit Shah. Azad indirectly indicated the alliance between the BJP and the National Conference and said, what is the meaning of Abdullah father-son seeking time to meet Modi-Shah at 12 o'clock in the night?
Azad claimed that Modi-Shah consulted both before removing Article 370. Both advised the leaders of Kashmir Valley to be put under house arrest.

Veteran Congressman Malviya joined BJP
Mahendrajitisinh Malviya, who was elected as MLA for four terms in Rajasthan, joined the BJP and the Congress has suffered a big blow. Malviya has resigned from the post of MLA from Bagidaura seat. Sources say that the BJP has accepted the condition of giving the assembly ticket to his wife Resham Malviya instead of Malviya. BJP will field Malviya from Banswara seat in the Lok Sabha elections. Malviya has won four consecutive MLA elections since 2008 and also won Lok Sabha elections from Banswara seat in 1998. Malviya demanded the construction of Mangarh National Monument. BJP has also accepted this demand.

War in Karnataka as JDS fielded candidate
Even though the BJP-JDS can win only one seat in Karnataka, the elections to be held on February 27 are expected to be a mess as the second candidate is fielded. Karnataka has elections for four Rajya Sabha seats. Congress has 135 MLAs in the 224-member assembly. Apart from this, since two independents and Sarvodaya Karnataka Party's Darshan Puttanaiah are also in the support of the Congress, the equation is that the Congress will succeed in retaining three seats. In the event that five candidates stand, 45 votes are needed to win one candidate, so Congress has enough votes to win all three of its candidates. Congress has Ajay Maken, Syed Nasir Hussain and G.C. BJP has given ticket to Narayan Bandge while Chandrashekhar.
JDS took a surprising decision and fielded Upendra Reddy at the last minute. BJP has an additional 21 votes while JDS has 19 votes so Reddy's victory is unlikely but Congress alleges that Kumaraswamy is using money power.
