The general election is round the corner and the heat of the battle, hate speeches have started to crop up. There have been communally-charged comments attempting at polarisation. Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath, BJP’s Giriraj Singh and Congress’s newbie Urmila Matondkar have all been guilty of spreading hatred and fanning communal tension. 

The joint poll rally of once-arch rivals Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party at Deoband in Western Uttar Pradesh, was riddled by confusion on who will be at the centre of the formation on dais. Perhaps, an indication of how brittle the equation is.

NCP general secretary DP Tripathi on Thursday said Narendra Modi's address to the nation on India's successful test of the A-SAT missile was a "violation" of the model code of conduct

A social media sentiments analysis done by MyNation along with Cybersecurity NGO Root64 foundation analyses trends of leading political leaders Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi, Arun Jaitley, Smriti Irani, Akhilesh Yadav, Mayawati and Priyanka Gandhi.

Janata Dal-Secular leader Danish Ali on Saturday joined the Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party, ahead of the coming Lok Sabha elections and is likely to contest from Uttar Pradesh's Amroha.

Telangana chief minister’s daughter K Kavita reacted to the alliance of Pawan Kalyan’s Jana Sena and Mayawati’s BSP and termed it a political stunt. Kavita also said that TRS is Telangana’s B-team, not anyone else’s.

BSP chief Mayawati confirmed that her party and Actor-turned-politician Pawan Kalyan's Jana Sena would fight together in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana

In what comes as a surprise, the Mayawati-led BSP has decided not have a tie-up with the JD(S). This means, both Congress and the JD(S) will not have the support of the BSP in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. Mayawati feels it is better fighting it out all alone, instead of having alliances.
 

Political pundits have already announced that this election is almost the last chance for Mayawati to keep her prime ministerial aspirations and the BSP alive in national politics. Due to her age and health, she will become politically inactive in the coming years

Modi said, 'The entire adulteration by smaller parties is made to keep the Congress alive. They (smaller parties) are serving oxygen to the Congress. Saans lene ki takat nahi hai usme (It can't breathe)'

While a recuperating Arun Jaitley has launched the attack on Rahul Gandhi’s omissions and commissions on the Rafale issue on Twitter already and former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhand has taken it forward, calling the Congress president a ‘liar’, the BJP’s counter-offence is not going to stop here
