Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, recently released from jail, is set to lead padyatras from August 14 to bolster the Aam Aadmi Party's campaign for the upcoming assembly elections, focusing on exposing alleged BJP impediments to Delhi's growth. In a separate development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed condolences for the passing of BJP MLA Amrit Lal Meena, who had served since 2013. The Election Commission has scheduled elections for 12 vacant Rajya Sabha seats on September 3, following resignations and shifts to Lok Sabha. Meanwhile, in Uttar Pradesh, BSP chief Mayawati has announced her party will field candidates in all 10 assembly seats up for bypolls, criticizing the BJP's handling of poverty and unemployment as a distraction tactic. Mayawati's statements reflect growing public dissatisfaction with the current government, emphasizing issues of caste and communal tensions. The political climate is intensifying ahead of the elections, with both the AAP and BSP mobilizing their strategies.
