CR Patil of BJP has created a record by defeating his nearest rival Patel Dharmeshbhai Bhimbhai (Congress) by margin of 6.89 lakh votes in Gujarat's Navsari Lok Sabha seat. Here's a look at the biggest winners of Lok Sabha Election 2019. PM Modi features at the 5th spot with a win-margin of 4.8 lakh votes.
With counting of votes reaching its last round in Kerala, the Congress and its United Democratic Front (UDF) were poised to grab 19 of the 20 seats, leaving only one seat to the ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M).
Congress President Rahul Gandhi has won the Wayanad Constituency by 4.31 lakh votes beating CPI's P P Suneer.
The report and its ramifications should be top of the agenda for Congress president Rahul Gandhi, who is contesting the Lok Sabha elections from Wayanad, said his colleague Jairam Ramesh.
The secret diary of Ram Rahim's 'adopted' daughter mentions words like 'Wayanad Kerala land', 'Himachal ki land new', 'Darjeeling land'.
“Please take necessary steps for re-polling as pressing the voting machine twice can make changes in the voting,” it added.
In Phase 3, stakes are high for the ruling BJP and its allies as they bagged 66 seats out of these 116 spread across 14 states and Union Territories in 2014 general election, while the Congress and its alliance partners won 27, and the rest went to other opposition parties and Independents.
The union minister also blamed the Congress president for not taking on the Left politics in Wayanad.
Priyanka Gandhi was addressing a public rally in Wayanad, Kerala. Rahul Gandhi was present at the rally as well.
Gandhi, who filed his nomination last week, has, however, said he would not speak against the Left during his campaign though he understood CPI(M) has to attack him.
"I am overwhelmed by the love and affection of the people of Wayanad in Kerala, where I filed my nomination today for the Lok Sabha. Thank you for your support and warm welcome! I also want to wish the journalists injured in a mishap during our road show a speedy recovery," Gandhi said in a tweet.
Congress chief Rahul Gandhi had more than one reason to choose Wayanad in Kerala as his second seat of the contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Apart from being a Congress bastion, the city also has a strong emotional connection with the party chief.
"We face problems due to attacks by elephants at our homes inside the forest. We won't cast vote this time. There is no use of participating in elections," a tribal woman said.
Thangakabalu had left the internet in splits last month when he starred in a series of memes over the botched up translation of Rahul Gandhi's speech.
Rahul Gandhi filed his nomination papers before the District Collector AR Ajayakumar at the district headquarters in Kalpetta today.
Thursday is the last date for filing of nominations from Wayanad, with polling for all of Kerala's 20 Lok Sabha constituencies to be held on April 23.
