“People have PM Modi in their hearts”: BJP’s Manoj Tiwari after being renominated for Lok Sabha polls

New Delhi [India]: After the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) repeated the candidature of Manoj Tiwari from North-East Delhi’s Lok Sabha seat, the famous Bhojpuri singer-actor on Saturday expressed his gratitude to the party leadership and said that the people of this country have Prime Minister Narendra Modi in their hearts.
“The people of this country have Prime Minister Modi in their hearts, and no one has any doubt about his hat-trick… I want to thank the party for trusting me. This time we have to increase the vote share,” BJP MP Manish Tiwari said.

The party has fielded Bhojpuri superstar and current party MP Manoj Tiwari from North-East Delhi, Kamaljeet Sehrawat from West Delhi, Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri from South Delhi, and Praveen Khandelwal from Chandni Chowk.

Among the five candidates declared by the BJP, Tiwari is the only incumbent MP.
Tiwari has been a Member of Parliament (MP) from the North East Delhi constituency since 2014. In 2014, Tiwari joined the BJP and contested the Lok Sabha elections from the North East Delhi seat. He won the election by a margin of over 3 lakh votes. He was re-elected in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

Earlier, the BJP on Saturday released its first list of five candidates for the seven parliamentary seats of the national capital for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, fielding former External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj’s daughter Bansuri from New Delhi.
The party has changed its candidates for most of the seats in the national capital.

Currently, the BJP holds all seven Delhi Lok Sabha seats. The party is yet to announce candidates for the North Delhi and East Delhi seats.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Congress, which will fight in alliance, are the two other key political parties in Delhi in the fray. They have announced to contest the 2024 Lok Sabha election together for all seven seats.

As part of an agreement, the Congress will contest 3 of the 7 Lok Sabha seats in the national capital, while the AAP will field candidates in the remaining 4 constituencies.

The Congress will contest the Chandni Chowk, North East, and North West seats in the Lok Sabha elections, while the AAP will contest New Delhi, West Delhi, South Delhi, and East Delhi.
