BJP has sprung a surprise in West Bengal's Birbhum constituency, pitting former IPS officer Debasish Dhar, who was suspended by the Mamata Banerjee government after the 2021 assembly elections, in a bid to halt TMC's Satabdi Roy from winning a fourth consecutive term. The absence of TMC's former Birbhum district president Anubrata Mondal, whose strong-arm tactics and controversial comments lent both fear and colour to the political scene here, seems to have made the electoral atmosphere a little lacklustre, but the BJP is seeing a level-playing field, owing to the new scenario. Mondal was arrested by the CBI in 2022 in a money laundering case related to cattle smuggling in West Bengal. He is at present lodged in Delhi's Tihar jail. A political novice, Dhar has been entrusted with the onerous task of putting brakes on the actor-politician from emerging triumphant again in Birbhum in the western part of the state.

BJP is yet to announce candidates for 12 Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh, including high-profile constituencies such as Rae Bareli and Mainpuri, represented by Sonia Gandhi and Dimple Yadav, respectively. Several factors are at play with the BJP looking for new candidates in some constituencies, while at the same time, trying to keep caste equations in its favour, in several other seats. These 12 constituencies also include Balia, Ghazipur, Machhlishahr which borders Prime Minister Narendra's seat Varanasi in eastern Uttar Pradesh, Kaiserganj, Firozabad, Prayagraj, Bhadohi, Deoria, Kaushambi, and Phulpur. In Kaiserganj, represented by former Wrestling Federation chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, the BJP is considering replacing him with one of his family members. Wrestlers, hailing from the Jat community in Haryana, had protested against him in Delhi and hurled several allegations against him. Jats are an influential votebank in Haryana and can impact at least eight of the ten Lok Sabha seats. But Singh is adamant on contesting again from Kaiserganj. He enjoys influence in the neighbouring constituencies as well. Similarly, in Rae Bareli, BJP is opting for a wait and watch strategy to see if someone from the Gandhi family contests from this seat.

FSSAI asking websites and apps that sell food products to not represent premixes, malt-, dairy- and cereal-based drinks as health or energy drinks.
