The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) recently unveiled its 5th candidates list for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Among the notable additions to the list are Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut, who will be contesting from Mandi, and television actor Arun Govil, famed for his role as Ram in the iconic TV serial Ramayan, who will be representing Meerut.
Kangana Ranaut, a prominent figure in the Indian film industry, has often expressed her admiration for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Her decision to enter politics and represent the Mandi constituency in Himachal Pradesh marks her electoral debut. In her statement, she expressed her elation at joining the BJP and pledged to be a dedicated karyakarta (party worker) and a reliable public servant.
Arun Govil, known for his portrayal of Lord Ram in the widely-watched TV series Ramayan, is another fresh face in the BJP’s electoral lineup. His nomination from Meerut has garnered significant attention, given his popularity and the nostalgic connection many Indians share with his iconic character.
In a surprising move, Varun Gandhi has been dropped from the BJP’s candidate list in Uttar Pradesh. However, his mother, Maneka Gandhi, will continue to represent the Sultanpur constituency, maintaining the Gandhi family’s political legacy within the party.
The BJP’s 5th candidates list also saw the exclusion of former Union minister Anant Kumar Hegde from the Uttara Kannada constituency and Union minister Ashwini Choubey from Buxar. On the other hand, new entrant Sita Soren will be contesting from Dumka.
Naveen Jindal, who recently quit the Congress party, has joined the BJP and has been fielded from the Kurukshetra constituency in Haryana. His move to the BJP signals a significant shift in Haryana’s political landscape.
Hours before the 5th candidates list was published, General VK Singh (Retd) announced his exit from electoral politics. His absence from the list has raised questions about the reasons behind his decision.
There has been no official announcement regarding the candidacy of embattled MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, the former chief of the Wrestling Federation of India. His political future remains uncertain amidst the ongoing candidate announcements.
With the Lok Sabha elections approaching, the BJP’s candidates list reflects the party’s strategy and vision for the upcoming polls. The inclusion of celebrities and new faces, along with the exclusion of some seasoned politicians, showcases the BJP’s efforts to rejuvenate its cadre and appeal to a broader voter base.
