Point Out COVER STORY GENERAL ELECTION Advani looking outside Gujarat In a season of polls political parties are doing their best to put up their best foot forward. While BJP leader Narendra Modi has been making the right moves and noises, there are talks about him contesting from a seat in Uttar Pradesh. Some observers are saying he is eyeing Varanasi, a seat held by senior BJP leader Dr Murli Manohar Joshi. Will NaMo take the bait and will Joshi shift is to be seen, but if he contests from UP Modi will send a strong message to all his opponents. And in UP, Varanasi seem to the best choice. Bhind Congress candidate defects In a major embarrassment to Congress party, its official candidate from Bhind Lok Sabha constituency Dr Bhagirath Prasad, bureaucrat-turned politician left Congress after being named as its official candidate. A day after he was named Prasad joined the BJP, citing that he was being stifled by a section of party leaders including Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia. This is the third coup BJP managed in Madhya Pradesh to put the Congress on the backfoot. Earlier last year, even before a debate on a no-confidence motion could begin in the MP Assembly, Congress deputy leader in the House, Choudhary Rakesh Chaturvedi joined the BJP. This was seen as major slap on the Congress face. Likewise, during the campaigning for assembly elections in November 2013, Congress Member of Parliament from Hoshangabad, Rao Uday Pratap Singh resigned and joined the BJP. Maya to go alone Former UP Chief Minister and Bahujan Samaj Party supremo, Mayawati is likely to go alone in Uttar Pradesh and contest on all the seats. Mayawati had made her intentions clear to even third front leaders that she was not willing to buckle down. Maya hopes in the current political situation if she manages to get 25 or more seats, then she can be a dominant player. 32 <strong>MARCH</strong> 2014
