2024 general elections is that their outcome is a foregone conclusion. It's Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'guarantee' that NDA will return with 400-plus seats. Even if the outcome falls short by 100 seats, BJP will remain comfortably in power for another five years. So, it may be a bit strange to also hear that BJP is projected to spend more than double of what it did in the 2019 general elections. 2024 Lok Sabha elections are the most expensive polls not just in India's history but in the world's, according to The Economist. Centre for Media Studies (CMS) has projected an expenditure of ₹1.35 lakh crore, double the amount spent in 2019. In 2019, BJP outspent Congress by almost a factor of three. This year's gap will most likely increase given that BJP is flush with funds, and Congress has its accounts 'frozen' — or, rather, some of the party's accounts 'attached' by the I-T department for alleged non-payment of dues as per I-T rules. Can you imagine what political parties would have spent if the electoral field was more competitive, and the election was not a 'foregone conclusion'? In the US, which has the second-highest spending on elections, elections are fought on small margins. For instance, the difference in the projected polling averages for Donald Trump and Joe Biden in the forthcoming elections, based on polls during April, was less than 2%, with the margin falling to less than 1% in the second half of the month, according to psephologist Nate Silver's 538 website on ABC News.

JDS delegation, led by its state president HD Kumaraswamy, on Thursday met Governor Thawer Chand Gehlot and sought a CBI probe into the widespread circulation of explicit videos of victims of alleged sexual assault, while doubting the credibility of the investigation by Karnataka’s special investigation team (SIT) into the alleged abuse of women by Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna. A delegation of JDS leaders that included core committee chairman GT Deve Gowda and other legislators told the Governor that Deputy CM DK Shivakumar was the mastermind of distribution of videos. They accused the Dy CM of organising distribution of more than 25,000 pen drives in bus stands, parks and other public places in Hassan Lok Sabha constituency and requested the Governor to advise Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to drop Shivakumar from the Cabinet.

BJP and the Opposition leaders about the reservation and minority quota, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said 4 per cent of Muslim reservations will remain and that is YSR Congress Party's final word on it. Addressing a public gathering in Kurnool, the CM said, «On one hand, Chandrababu Naidu continues to join hands with the BJP which stands on removing the 4 per cent Muslim reservation, on the other hand, to seek minority votes, he comes up with new drama. Have you witnessed a chameleon-like Chandrababu Naidu? Come what may, 4 per cent of Muslim reservations will remain and that is YSR Congress Party's final word on it. My only question to Chandrababu Naidu is why does he continue the alliance with the NDA even after the NDA government pledges to cancel the 4 per cent reservation?» Commenting on the ongoing Lok Sabha election battle, Reddy said, «In the next 4 days, the battle of Kurukshetra is set to take place. This election is not to elect MLAs and MPs, this election will decide the future of ongoing schemes and the development of every household.

India is considering offering incentives to encourage private companies to set up lithium processing facilities, as New Delhi tries to develop its nascent lithium mining and boost supplies of the EV battery metal, three government sources said. It would offer incentives to companies to set up lithium processing plants under a new critical minerals policy that was being worked out by the mines ministry, the sources said. «The critical minerals policy will be comprehensive and will cover all aspects from exploration to mining to value addition,» one of the sources said. «It will also cover incentives for beneficiation and refining within the country,» the source said. The sources, however, said it was a little early to know the exact form of incentives the government would offer, but New Delhi would try to take a cue from countries such as Australia and Canada. Responding to Reuters queries, the Ministry of Mines said the government was taking various steps to ensure the availability of critical minerals for the downstream industry. It did not elaborate.
