New Delhi. The Election Commission has indicated that assembly elections will be held in Jammu and Kashmir soon. The Election Commission of India has invited applications from unrecognized parties registered in Jammu and Kashmir for the allocation of ‘election symbol’. This indicates that assembly elections are going to be held soon in the Union Territory for the first time after the abolition of Article 370. According to the statement of the Election Commission, they have decided to seek applications for the allocation of election symbol with ‘immediate effect’ under Para 10B of the Election Symbol (Reservation and Allotment) Order, 1968. While currently recognised national and state parties have their own ‘reserved election symbols’, registered unrecognised parties have to apply for them to field candidates in elections. Under the Election Symbols Order, any registered unrecognised political party can apply for an ‘election symbol’ six months before the term of the House ends. However, since there is no assembly functioning in Jammu and Kashmir yet, the Election Commission is calling for applications. At present, the date of the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections has not been announced yet. However, in December last year, the Supreme Court had directed the Election Commission to conduct assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir by 30 September. Although there were speculations about holding elections in the Union Territory along with the Lok Sabha elections, the Election Commission had said that this is not practical due to ‘security’ reasons. Who is in and who is out of Narendra Modi’s cabinet, who can become minister from JDU-TDP, how much share will Manjhi and Chirag get? Meanwhile, Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Rajiv Kumar said earlier this week that the Election Commission will start the election process in the Union Territory very soon. He said, ‘We will start the election process in Jammu and Kashmir very soon, we are very excited about the voting percentage… Jammu and Kashmir recorded the highest voter turnout in four decades at 58.58 per cent, while the valley recorded 51.05 per cent voting.’ Tags: Jammu Kashmir, Jammu Kashmir Election, Jammu Kashmir latest news, jammu kashmir news FIRST PUBLISHED : <!-- -->June 8, 2024, 14:13 IST

Image Source : PTI BJP candidate from Moradabad, Sarvesh Singh. The first phase of voting for the Lok Sabha elections 2024 has concluded on 19 April 2024. Voting took place in Moradabad seat of Uttar Pradesh in the first phase of elections. However, after the elections the bad news came that Bharatiya Janata Party candidate from Moradabad seat Kunwar Sarvesh Singh passed away. After this incident, the question in the minds of people is that now that the election candidate has passed away, what action will the Election Commission take? Will there be by-elections on this seat? Or will some other method be adopted? Let us know the answers to these questions in our news. <!-- /8323530/Khabar_Desktop_VDO_1X1 --> How did Sarvesh Singh die? Voting took place on Moradabad Lok Sabha seat on 19 April. BJP candidate Kunwar Sarvesh Singh died on the evening of 20 April at the age of 71. According to the information, even when BJP gave him the ticket, he was admitted in the hospital. Sarvesh Singh became MP from Moradabad in UP by winning the Lok Sabha elections in 2014. Before this, he had been MLA 4 times from Thakurdwara assembly seat of UP. Will there be voting again? According to the rules of the Election Commission, if the voting process has been completed on a seat and after that the candidate dies, then the results of the election will be awaited. According to the rules, if any other candidate wins after the counting of votes, there will be no need for re-election. However, if Kunwar Sarvesh Singh wins the election then this election will be cancelled. There will be a need for re-voting or by-election on this seat. Because then he will not be present to represent his area. Under Section 151A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, elections will have to be held on this seat within 6 months. What if he dies before voting? If a candidate dies before voting on a seat and if the date for nomination and withdrawal of nomination expires, then the election on the concerned seat is cancelled. For example, in the recently held Rajasthan Assembly elections 2023, Congress candidate Gurmeet Singh Kunnar from Karanpur seat of Sriganganagar had died. His nomination had been done. In such a situation, elections were held on this seat on a new date.

New Post: Election Commission To Visit J&K For 3 Days Next Week To Prepare For Polls - https://lnkd.in/ghdEJcEs and Kashmir has been without an elected government for over six years.Srinagar: The Election Commission of India has confirmed that it will visit Jammu and Kashmir next week to review preparations for elections. The move is being seen as an indication that the Assembly elections in the Union Territory will be held before the deadline of September 30 set by the Supreme Court.The full commission, headed by Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar, will meet officials of the administration as well as representatives of political parties in Srinagar and Jammu during the visit, which will take place from August 8 to 10, it was announced on Friday. Sources said the commission is expected to announce the Assembly polls sometime after  August 15 to meet the September 30 deadline. In December last year, while delivering its verdict on Article 370, a five-judge Constitutional bench of the Supreme Court had directed the poll body to hold Assembly elections in the Union Territory by September 30. It had also asked the Centre to restore statehood at the earliest.On Wednesday, the Commission had asked the Jammu and Kashmir administration to transfer officials posted in their home districts as well as those connected with the election process who will be completing a three-year tenure on or before September 30.Similar directions had been given to the chief secretaries of Haryana, Maharashtra and Jharkhand, where elections are due later this year.Jammu and Kashmir has been without an elected government for over six years and the last Assembly elections were held in December 2014.Next week, Jammu and Kashmir will also complete five years as a Union Territory. On August 5, 2019, the erstwhile state was bifurcated into two Union Territories and its special status under Article 370 was removed. Since then, Jammu and Kashmir has been administered by the lieutenant governor.The Centre has also recently amended the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, giving sweeping powers to the lieutenant governor in the Union Territory. The amendments are in line with the Delhi Union Territory model, where the elected government has little authority over bureaucracy and many powers are vested in the Lieutenant Governor.Opposition parties have reacted strongly to the Centre's move and termed it "anti-democratic". They allege that giving sweeping powers to the LG will make the elected government a rubber stamp.During his visit to Srinagar in June, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced that Assembly elections would be held in Jammu and Kashmir soon, and statehood would also be restored.source

Image Source : FACEBOOK.COM/NARENDRAMODI In the last 3 elections, BJP slogans have been seen on the lips of the common people. New Delhi: The noise of campaigning for the Lok Sabha elections 2024 came to an end on Thursday evening. In the past few months, various political parties have coined various slogans to motivate the public to vote in their favour. In this noise of election slogans, this time BJP’s slogan ‘Abki Baar, 400 Paar’ was the most discussed. It can be said that people from both the ruling and opposition parties talked a lot about this slogan of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Now whether this slogan benefited the BJP or harmed it, it will be clear on the day of counting of votes on June 4. <!-- /8323530/Khabar_Desktop_VDO_1X1 --> BJP’s election slogans created a lot of buzz Let us tell you that in the 2014, 2019 and 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the election slogans of the Bharatiya Janata Party garnered a lot of discussion. While the party’s slogan ‘Abki Baar Modi Sarkar’ dominated the first election, in 2019 ‘Main Bhi Chowkidar’ made the most headlines. This time too, ‘Main Hoon Modi Ka Parivar’ and ‘Abki Baar, 400 Paar’ dominated the tongues of the people. Apart from this, ‘Modi Ki Guarantee’ was also liked by the people. However, ‘Abki Baar, 400 Paar’ overshadowed all these slogans because the opposition also tried to corner the BJP on this slogan. Under the guise of this slogan, the opposition accused the BJP of giving the slogan of 400 Paar to end reservation and change the Constitution. ‘Haath Badlega Haalat’ was also liked If we talk about Congress in the context of election slogans, then the slogans of ‘Haath Badlega Haalat’ and ‘Nyay Yojana’ also got a lot of attention. However, like the last 2 Lok Sabha elections, this time also BJP’s election slogans were discussed the most and Prime Minister Narendra Modi also said that the opposition got stuck in the slogan ‘Abki Baar, 400 Paar’. In all these three elections, PM Modi set an agenda for the election campaign through BJP’s slogans and the opposition was seen struggling to come out of it. The slogans of the Congress party did not seem to create the kind of impact that Congress would have expected among BJP’s slogans.

Where the opposition is questioning the functioning of the NDA government. At the same time, the leaders of BJP including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his coalition parties are present among the public taking account of the government’s 10 years of development work and are also continuously presenting among the public their thinking of accelerating the development of the country. . In such a situation, the challenger to PM Modi in this election seems to be missing. <!-- /8323530/Khabar_Desktop_VDO_1X1 --> What are election analysts saying? Election analysts are also continuously predicting that PM Modi will form the next government by assuming power for the third consecutive time. Predictions have been made regarding the number of seats for BJP and NDA. Every serious election analyst agrees that NDA is ahead of the opposition in this election campaign for Modi 3.0. For the opposition parties to take the lead in this election, it is necessary to first try to bring their ideas among the public, communicate with the people etc. But, all this is missing from the opposition in this election campaign. PM Modi gained dominance through stormy election tours On the other hand, immediately after the announcement of elections, PM Modi held 9 rallies in March, 68 in April and 26 in May. PM Modi has given more than 24 interviews so far, taking out time from his busy election campaign. He has given interviews to national channels as well as regional language channels. Along with this, he has also given interviews to media outlets. PM Modi has done 21 road shows so far after the announcement of Lok Sabha elections. Along with this, to stay connected with the people, he has been making countless visits to temples and Gurudwaras and has also been meeting eminent people and common citizens. Rahul Gandhi missing from election campaign At the same time, if we look at the way of campaigning of the biggest opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, the ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ started by him ended on March 17 after the announcement of elections. Since then, till May 8, Rahul Gandhi has addressed 39 public meetings, which includes 1 in March, 29 in April and 10 in May. Along with this, there are many places in these public meetings where the chances of Congress winning are very less or nil. However, the figures of these public meetings of Rahul may be higher. Rahul Gandhi has not yet given any interview in front of the media. However, some press conferences have been held during the ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ and meetings with the constituent parties of the Indi alliance.

India election 2024 phase 2: Who votes and what’s at stake? | India Election 2024 News https://ift.tt/Tv4wJcz EXPLAINER Across 13 states, 88 constituencies go to the polls on April 26 in the second phase of the world’s largest election. The juggernaut of India’s mammoth parliamentary elections rolls into the second of seven phases on April 26 with all eyes on the southern states of Kerala and Karnataka. The contenders in round two include a former leader of India’s main opposition who has never won a general election for his party, a former top United Nations official and author, and an erstwhile Bollywood star who is running for a third time but has disappointed her constituency by her absence on the ground. India’s general elections for 543 seats in the lower house of parliament, or Lok Sabha, kicked off on April 19. The results of the world’s largest-ever democratic exercise are set to be announced on June 4. With 969 million registered voters – or more than the combined population of the United States, the European Union and Russia – India has the largest electorate in the world. Apart from numerous regional and national hopefuls, the two main alliances are the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and a coalition of 28 parties called the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), led by the main opposition Indian National Congress, welded by the aim of unseating the BJP. Who votes in phase 2? Voters from these 88 constituencies from 13 states and union territories will go to the ballot box: Kerala: All 20 of the southern state’s seats Rajasthan: 13 of the western state’s 25 seats Karnataka: 14 of the southern state’s 28 seats Uttar Pradesh: Eight of the northern state’s 80 seats Madhya Pradesh: Six of the central state’s 29 seats Assam: Five of the eastern state’s 14 seats Chhattisgarh: Three of the central state’s 11 seats Bihar: Five of the eastern state’s 40 seats Maharashtra: Eight of the western state’s 48 seats West Bengal: Three of the eastern state’s 42 seats Tripura: One of the northeastern state’s two seats Jammu and Kashmir: One of the union territory’s five seats Manipur: Parts of one of the northeastern state’s two seats, which voted in the first phase, will also vote on April 26. Which are some of the key constituencies? Wayanad, Kerala: Prominent opposition leader Rahul Gandhi will face-off against left-wing candidate Annie Raja of the Communist Party of India, as he fights to hold onto the constituency that elected him in 2019. Both Gandhi’s Congress and the communists are part of the national opposition INDIA alliance but are rivals in Kerala. Gandhi is the son, grandson and great-grandson of former prime ministers, but his Congress party has suffered two landslide defeats against the BJP. Also running is the BJP’s state president K Surendran. Wayanad has been a Congress stronghold since the 2009 elections. Ke...

One Nation, One Election The High-Level Committee on One Nation, One Election, led by former President Ram Nath Kovind, has proposed significant changes to enable synchronized elections across India. One Nation One Election (ONOE) One Nation One Election is a proposal to synchronize the timing of all elections in India, including those for the Lok Sabha, state legislative assemblies, and local bodies. The aim is to streamline the electoral process, reduce campaign expenditures, minimize disruptions to governance, and enhance political stability by holding all elections simultaneously at regular intervals, typically once every five years. ONOE was the norm until 1967 but after that cycle was broken. Earlier Law Commission also recommended the idea of ONOE in its report. Recommendations of the High-Level Committee: Two-step approach for Simultaneous Elections (SE): Synchronize Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies (SLA) elections first, followed by Municipalities and Panchayats elections (M&PE). Amendments in Article 324A are required for this synchronization, but states’ ratification is not necessary. The amendments needed for simultaneous elections are outside the scope of Article 368(2) and thus don’t require ratification by the states. Municipal and Panchayat elections should be held within 100 days of Lok Sabha and State elections. Dealing with hung House, adoption of no-confidence motion, and defection: For Lok Sabha, fresh elections should be held with tenure limited to the unexpired term of the previous Lok Sabha. For States, fresh elections should be held, continuing until the end of the full term of Lok Sabha. Amendments in Article 83 and Article 172 are needed, but state ratification is not required. Single electoral roll and electoral identity cards: An amendment to Article 325 is recommended, which will require states’ ratification. Presidential Notification: A Presidential notification would set an “appointed date” for simultaneous elections. Constitutional Authority of Parliament for ONOE: The Constitution mainly entrusts Parliament, not states, with the power to conduct Assembly elections. Under Article 328 of the Constitution States have only residual powers on conducting Assembly elections; the power is mainly entrusted to Parliament through Article 327.
