Mps  

Speaker of the Karnataka Assembly Ramesh Kumar has said that he has no desire to sleep with KH Muniyappa, MP from Kolar. The remarks came as a reaction to KH Muniyappa’s statement that MPs and MLAs might have differences, but by evening, they put an end to it.
 

The primary reason for mass exodus is a lot of sitting MLAs were not given tickets by the BJP this time that resulted in discontent. The BJP, throughout India, wants to go for fresh faces in 2019 polls. In fact, in Chhattisgarh, none of the sitting MPs were given tickets this time

Deputy chief minister and party coordinator O Panneerselvam announced the list of candidates that the AIADMK is going to field for Lok Sabha election. Only six sitting MPs and one woman candidate have been fielded in the list, while the DMK has fielded two women.

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has announced the list of party candidates for all the 42 Lok Sabha seats of the state. Ten sitting MPs have been dropped this time. They include the party’s state president Subrata Bakshi, actress Sandhya Roy and noted educationist Prof Sugata Basu

With JD(S) reluctant on settling for 10 seats and keeping its focus on southern Karnataka, sitting MPs Veerappa Moily and KH Muniyappa seem worried as the party may give these seats to the JD(S). While Moily represents Chikkaballapura Lok Sabha seat, Muniyappa is a Kolar MP.

Panda’s entry in the party is likely to give boost to BJP’s prospects in the state, which sends 21 MPs to the Parliament. The BJP won 157 seats in 2014 Lok Sabha elections from five Hindi heartland states, i.e. Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan — 55% of its total tally of 282.

Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Governor P Sathasivam, ministers G Sudhakaran, Mercykutty Amma, P Raju, MLA Mukesh, MPs Suresh Gopi, NK Premachandran, V Muraleedharan and O Rajagopal MLA attended the inauguration.

The BJP MPs staged a protest in the Parliament complex on Monday against incidents of violence targeting their leaders in Kerala. A crude bomb was thrown at the residence of Rajya Sabha MP V Muraleedharan. It is alleged that the CPI(M) members have done it.
