On the one hand, while the efforts of the opposition unity are going on, the BJP is also chalking out its election preparations. In this context, the party’s central leadership has almost confirmed that ‘in the 2024 elections, the party will say goodbye to its 70 plus MPs and replace them with new faces.’ The ticket cutting is also considered to be fixed. For this, the BJP has also prepared the report card of all its sitting MPs. The BJP has set a target of winning all 80 seats in UP. Those MPs whose tickets might get cut are Satyadev Pachauri, VK Singh, Hema Malini, Rita Bahuguna Joshi, Ramapati Ram Tripathi, Santosh Gangwar, Jagdambika Pal and Satyapal Singh, and even Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh who is facing the heat of the wrestlers and opposition. The tickets of 6 out of 17 present MPs of Bihar may be cut, which may include the names of Giriraj Singh, Ashwini Choubey, RK Singh, Radha Mohan Singh, Rama Devi and Ravi Shankar Prasad. Sensing the essence of the occasion, Ashwini Choubey is already scrambling for a ticket for her son Arjit Shashwat. It is being told that the tickets of 10 sitting saffron MPs from Gujarat, 9 from Karnataka, 8 from Maharashtra, 2 from Jharkhand, 5 from Madhya Pradesh and 5 from Rajasthan are almost certain to be cut. This process of ticket cutting can start only from the coming assembly elections of 5 states. The Sangh is also said to be in favor of ‘betting only on new and fresh faces in big Hindi heartland states like Madhya Pradesh’, and there are reports that 40 sitting BJP MLAs from Madhya Pradesh may also be denied tickets.
