Pre-Poll Alliances: Reshaping the Political Landscape
The week witnessed further consolidation of regional political parties as they formed alliances to challenge the dominance of the national parties in the upcoming elections.

Political analysts are predicting a more fragmented parliament and the possibility of coalition governments being formed at the center and state levels.
Focus on Youth Issues: Education and Employment Opportunities
As part of their election campaigns, political parties started to address issues concerning the youth.

Addressing these crucial issues will be vital for any party to gain the support of young voters, who constitute a significant portion of the electorate.
