Modi’s rally likely to miss Praful Patel’s turf

India’s probable PM candidate Narendra Modi is all likely to give a miss to Patel’s constituency of Gondiaand Bhandara, during his election campaign, for the upcoming polls. Patel, who would be contesting from the constituency of Gondia and Bhandara, will have Nana Patole as his rival and the debutant Prasanth Mishra, who would be contesting on AAP’s ticket. The article below tells you more about Modi’s election campaign, across the country and his reasons for missing out his campaign on Patel’s turf.

Narendra Modi, India’ probable PM candidate is all set to give a miss to his rally in the districts of Gondiaand Bhandara. It is indeed good news for NCP Leader Praful Patel, who is contesting from the constituency of Gondia and Bhandara against Nana Patole (BJP). According to sources, Modi had given his consentfor three dimension (3-D) rally in Patel’s constituency. Nana Patole, BJP’s candidate against Praful Patel, was keen on Modi’s rally in his constituency, but the Gujarat Chief Minister, who has already held rallies at Wardha, Amravati, Akola and Kisano Se Charcha at Yavatmal, is unlikely to land on Patel’s home turf. Prior to this, Praful Patel was the first one to give a clean chit to Modi on national television, in regards to his association with the 2002 riots. Patel established the fact that there was no point in dragging issuesat this point of time, especially when the Supreme Court had clearly stated that Modi was not even remotely associated with the sabotage that took place during the 2002 Godhra riots. Currently, what India needs is progress and development and not a bunch of ministers all set to reprimand each other any moment, to gain political publicity. Thus, Patel’s statements in regards to Modi’s association with the Godhra riots, seems justified!

Congress President Sonia Gandhi would herself be holding a rally on the 5th of April in Nagpur. Interestingly, former BJP President Nitin Gadkari is the congress candidate, who would be contesting elections, from this region. According to BJP’s Vinod Tawde, the leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council, “For the first time in Maharashtra, Modi is going to hold 3-D rallies. It is as good as being personally present on the venue.” In addition, Modi who would be refraining from visiting Patel’s constituency will be holding a 3D rally, in the districts of Gondia and Bhandara. So how much of a difference could it have on the results in these districts. Would it lessen BJP’s impact, without Modi being present? Or will it bear the same influence on the mindset of people. Only time would tell. The current scenario gives us the idea that the people of Gondia and Bhandara are more interested in re-electing Heavy Industries Minister Praful Patel, as their leader, in the upcoming elections. The huge turn out during Patel’s election campaign in these districts, gives us a fair idea of what could be the probable outcome. Possibly, Patel is all set to repeat, what happened in the 2009 Lok Sabha elections. Gadkari, who once was a part of BJP conveyed it clearly to their leaders that their party should be focusing more on areas that are difficult to the party not in seats like Beed where Gopinath Munde is in the fray or Nagpur where he himself is contesting.

AIFF President Praful Patel would however be breathing a sigh of relief, for the Modi wave will not hit his constituencies hard. Will many might think that Patel would have won hands down even if Modi was physically present in Patel’s constituency, his absence might just make things a tad easier for the NCP Leader. All said and done, we are indeed in for an interesting contest in the constituency of Gondia of Bhandara. Has Modi handed over an easy win to Praful Patel or will Nana Patole still drive home a clear winner? Until the political mystery unfolds, we’ll hold our horses.

NCP Leader Praful Patel was witnessed campaigning for his candidature along with his wife and children, in the constituency of Gondia and Bhandara. The citizens cheered at the sight of their leader, amidst the presence of the other members of the party.
