Originally Published 2 years ago — by IndiaTimes

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal proposed Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge as the opposition's prime ministerial candidate at the INDIA bloc meeting, suggesting that he could be the 'Dalit' face. The pitch caught other participants unawares and created awkwardness, with Kharge himself stating that the focus should be on defeating the BJP first. The meeting lacked the earlier positive chemistry among leaders, and seat sharing is set to be finalized by January 10.

Paetongtarn Shinawatra, a leading prime ministerial candidate in Thailand's upcoming elections, gave birth to a baby boy two weeks before the polls. Paetongtarn hopes to return to power the populist movement her father and aunt led before army coups ousted them. Despite the imminent arrival of her second child, she has been campaigning until recently. Her family's name recognition and her party's enduring popularity could bring it back to power.
