Boxer Vijender Singh Joins BJP; Lok Sabha Election 2024 Updates

Boxer Vijender Singh made a significant move today by joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Delhi, marking a notable moment in the political landscape. Expressing his sentiments, Singh described his decision as a "ghar wapsi," indicating a return home for him. He emphasized the respect accorded to him and others under the current government, contrasting it with past experiences at airports during travels for fights.

In the context of the ongoing Lok Sabha Election 2024, Singh's decision adds an intriguing twist to the political narrative. Amidst disputes with the Congress party over seats in Sangli and Hatkanangale, the Shiv Sena, led by Uddhav Thackeray, announced four additional candidates, further reflecting the complex dynamics of pre-election alliances and rivalries.

Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi, a prominent leader of the Congress party, filed his nomination from the Wayanad constituency. Accompanied by his sister, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Gandhi submitted his documents at the collectorate, signifying the party's strategic moves ahead of the polls.

As the election season unfolds, both the BJP and Congress are actively preparing for the electoral battle. The BJP has formed a manifesto committee, while the Congress plans to unveil its manifesto on April 5 at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) office in the national capital.

The Lok Sabha elections are scheduled to be conducted in seven phases, starting from April 19 and concluding on June 1. The counting of votes for all 543 Lok Sabha seats is slated for June 4, promising a period of intense political activity and speculation in the coming weeks.
