NDA Eyes Victory in Five State Elections with Athawale's Strategic Moves

Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment, Ramdas Athawale, has expressed strong confidence in the National Democratic Alliance's (NDA) success in the forthcoming Assembly elections across five states. Athawale, who also leads the Republican Party of India (Athawale), declared the party's intentions to contest four seats in Assam and three seats in Tamil Nadu.

Athawale praised the recent government decision to cut excise duty on petrol and diesel, stating it would offer much-needed relief to the public. He lauded Prime Minister Modi's administration for its commitment to inclusive development and concern for diverse societal segments.

The Election Commission of India (ECI) unveiled the election timetable on March 15 for four states and the Union Territory of Puducherry. With voting staggered across these regions in April, the counting of votes is scheduled for May 4. The current assemblies in these areas are set to conclude their terms between May and June.
