Sangli Lok Sabha constituency, a Congress bastion until BJP wrested it 10 years ago, has gathered more attention due to a friction between alliance partners Shiv Sena (UBT) and Congress than the electoral battle. UBT unilaterally decided to field Chandrahar Patil for the seat without even discussing it with Congress, and an upset Vishal Patil, grandson of former Maharashtra chief minister Vasant Dada Patil, is contesting the poll as an independent. BJP leaders hope that this infighting in the Opposition camp, along with the Modi factor, will help its sitting MP Sanjay Kaka Patil eke out a win in spite of a strong anti-incumbency sentiment over lack of development and infrastructure in the region. Congress held its sway in Sangli for more than five decades, winning the seat from 1962 to 2009, until BJP's Sanjay Patil won it in 2014.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi took dynastic politics head-on and said that much like Raja Ram Mohan Roy, who abolished evil practices like sati and child-marriage, he too 'has put an end to the practice of only scions of royal families' holding the posts of chief minister and prime minister, paving the way for any poor man's son to hold these posts. Modi's address in Etawah was also meant to send a message to voters of Mainpuri and Kannauj, with BJP candidates of all three seats present on stage. While Mainpuri has been Mulayam Singh Yadav's Lok Sabha seat, now being contested by daughter-in-law Dimple Yadav, Kannauj is being contested by Akhilesh Yadav. Modi recalled Mulayam Singh's «blessing» to him in Parliament before the 2019 elections when he had said that he hoped that Modi would come back as PM for a second term. «Today, Netaji is not there among us, but look at the coincidence, his brother is appealing to make BJP win. He expressed his heart's desire after all,» Modi said, taking a jibe at Shivpal Yadav's gaffe a few days ago when, in a statement, instead of mentioning SP, he asked people to vote for 'BJP'.

Filmed theatre — the recording and subsequent screening of a live stage production — isn't to many tastes. it usually has neither the immediacy of a good play nor the visual brio of a good film. I've been wary of the form ever since my school showed us an astonishingly dull 'film' of The Merchant of Venice, which felt like it was created by having a stationary camera placed in the first row at a theatre. And yet, I loved a recent screening of The Motive and the Cue, Jack Thorne's play about the inter-generational clashes between two major British actors, John Gielgud and Richard Burton, during a 1964 Hamlet production in which the former directed the latter. One reason for this is that I'm a Hamlet nut, and have some interest in the real-life figures depicted here (especially Gielgud, superbly played by Mark Gatiss, but also Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, who were newly-weds at the time). To appreciate this play, you need that interest. But even otherwise, M&C didn't feel static.
