Releasing the book, "Modi: Shaping a Global Order in Flux", Nadda said Indian government leaders earlier did not "dare" to visit Israel due to domestic vote bank politics. "The domestic vote bank politics compelled, and India couldn't develop a relationship with Israel," he said, adding Prime Minister Modi visited Israel as well as Palestine. This shows India is capable of handling two different countries in the best possible manner, the BJP president said. Modi has also succeeded in dehyphenating India with Pakistan which was not the case earlier, he said.

BJP national spokesperson M Kikon battling anti-incumbency seeks third term

Mmhonlumo Kikon has everything going for him he is the party's national spokesperson, a published poet, and an advisor in the outgoing government. Except for the anti-incumbency factor and dissidence among some of his former core associates, the BJP legislator could have almost surely been looking for a third straight term from Bhandari constituency in Wokha district. Also, the thin winning margins of his last two successful campaigns are proving to be thorns for the sitting MLA. "He has become inaccessible. He is no longer in touch with the grassroots. And he will have to pay for it with his seat," said Nyamo Odyuo, who was among the close associates of M Kikon in his last two election campaigns. Odyuo has now shifted allegiance to the Naga People's Front (NPF) and is busy canvasing support for its candidate, Achumbemo Kikon. A Kikon was defeated by M Kikon by 254 votes and 312 votes in 2013 and 2018 state polls respectively. While the defeated candidate was from the NPF on both
