Senior BJP leader Sanjeev Balyan, who represented Muzaffarnagar twice in the Lok Sabha before his defeat in the 2024 elections, is busy campaigning in Delhi Assembly elections, mainly in areas having substantial Jat and Gujjar population. The party has assigned him the task to concentrate in areas where families from western UP, especially Jats and Gujjars, are concentrated. He had accompanied BJP candidates from Mundka, Badli, Narela and Nangloi Jat segments during the nomination filing, besides addressing a meeting in Ghonda.
In Uniform
A Delhi Police DCP-rank officer recently shared a picture of himself with poll-duty paramilitary personnel on an official WhatsApp group, where the police chief is also a member. The officer was told by his senior to be in uniform at such events through a text in the group. A few days later, the DCP posted a similar picture on X — and this time, he was in uniform.
Meeting Point
The wedding reception of Senior Congress leader and former Union minister Manish Tewari’s daughter Ineka in Delhi on Sunday saw a battery of Congress leaders together. While there were not many from the younger lot except MPs Gaurav Gogoi and Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, many Congress leaders from UPA days — including Ghulam Nabi Azad who has quit the party since — were seen mingling warmly with one another. Among those present to bless the newly-weds were Abhishek Singhvi, Randeep Surjewala, Pramod Tiwari, Rajeev Shukla, Salman Khurshid, Mukul Wasnik, Anand Sharma, Ambika Soni and Janardan Dwivedi. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria were also present.
