India General Elections 2024: South is in focus as Modi aims to win the Lok Sabha.

by Leave a Comment

India General Elections 2024: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is leading his campaign to win the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, and as the Indian political scene heats up, all eyes are on the South. At this critical juncture in Indian politics, the battleground moves towards the southern states amid a frenzy of activity and expectation.

With an eye on expanding its political footprint beyond its conventional strongholds in the North and West, Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is positioning itself strategically in the run-up to the elections to seize important constituencies in the southern regions. There is a lot on the line, as the BJP needs a good performance in the South to maintain its grasp on the national leadership.

  • Polls have opened in the second of the seven-phase India General Elections 2024 with 13 states voting for 88 seats in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of India’s Parliament.
  • The first phase of the vote was held on April 19 in 102 constituencies across 21 states and union territories.
  • The elections primarily pit the National Democratic Alliance, led by two-time Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), against the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance, spearheaded by the main opposition party, the Indian National Congress.
  • Voters will elect representatives to fill 543 seats of the Lok Sabha. The party or coalition that secures a majority will form the next government.
  • About 969 million registered voters are eligible to participate in the world’s largest democratic exercise over six weeks. The results will be announced on June 4.

Modi wants to turn India election into a Hindu-Muslim war

As defenders of Hindu interests, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have opted to run in this seven-phase national election.

Additionally, they have said unequivocally that safeguarding Hindu interests entails defending them against Muslims.

They claim that the opposition Congress party is working with the Muslim community to steal the money and privileges of the Hindu majority and give them to Muslims, putting them in danger.

The prime minister made a clear reference to Muslims when he said at a rally in Rajasthan on Sunday that the opposition would seize Hindu riches and give it to those “who have more children.” He continued by referring to the Muslim community as “infiltrators.”

There was indignation over Modi’s remarks in several places. The Election Commission of India (ECI) has been urged to take action against him for his hate speech by individuals and organizations from all throughout the nation.

Sam Pitroda favors succession taxes in India and claims that Congress is “distributing wealth in the interest of people.”

How do Muslims in India feel about the general election?

Before the multi-stage national election that is expected to hand Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s BJP government another term in power, Muslims in India share with Al Jazeera their hopes, concerns, and opinions.

How dubious YouTube ‘news’ channels boosted Modi

With over 460 million users, YouTube’s largest market is India, where four out of every five internet users access the platform.

YouTube is becoming an increasingly popular source of news for Indians, but not all of the content is newsworthy. Several of the most well-known YouTube channels in India are spreading misinformation and inciting Islamophobia; they frequently support PM Modi and his BJP while disparaging opposition figures and opponents.

These channels are distinct since they identify themselves as “news” channels and purport to offer fact-based reporting. However, the actual situation is distinct.

How is the government formed after the election?

The lower house’s party with a simple majority of 273 seats or more is invited to form a government and appoint its prime minister. The president of India will request that the leading party attempt to form a coalition if no one party crosses that barrier.

In the past, this has resulted in days or even weeks of heated horse trading and discussions between the parties in an attempt to come to a consensus.

‘We exist’: A Himayalan hamlet, forgotten by Indian democracy

Jiten Toto, a native of Totopara in West Bengal state, says he has little faith that anything would change in India during the election. The people living in this small but distinct area of the nation believe they have been ignored for too long by the largest democracy in the world.

Approximately 75% of the estimated 1,670 Toto population is entitled to vote, making them one of the world’s smallest tribes.

Many Totos claim that politicians have consistently disregarded their issues because of their tiny number and distant location.

“Not much progress has been made toward our growth. Poor roads and subpar health care are continuing issues, according to Jiten. “After the poll, no political leader has ever visited this location to assess the state of affairs.”

When will the results be announced?

It is illegal under Indian law to publish exit poll data while an election is in progress. Hence, any indication of which way the vote is trending will only come after the last phase of voting concludes on June 1.

Formal ballot counting begins three days later on June 4, though the use of electronic voting machines means tallying will be quick. Results should be announced on the same day.

India General Elections 2024

Can Modi win a historic third term?

If Modi wins, he will be only the second Indian leader to retain power for a third term after Jawaharlal Nehru, the country’s first prime minister.

The BJP controls much of Hindi-speaking northern and central India but is now trying to gain a foothold in the east and south.

Its toughest challenge in the second phase is Kerala, where voting is being held on all 20 seats.

What happened in Phase 1?

The first of the seven phases of the mammoth Indian general election took place on April 19 when 102 seats across 21 states and union territories voted.

For some states such as Tamil Nadu and Uttarakhand, elections were held on all the seats in the first phase. Key northern states including Uttar Pradesh and Bihar are voting in all phases.

According to India’s election body, the voter turnout in the first phase was 60 percent.

As Prime Minister Modi and his party aim to win the Lok Sabha, the South is the center of attention in the grand finale of the 2024 India General Elections. This election marks a turning point in India’s democratic history because of the dynamic interaction of regional dynamics, socioeconomic concerns, and political strategies in the electoral environment. The results of this election will not only influence future governance but also represent the desires and decisions of millions of Indian citizens, as the country anxiously awaits the decision. The outcome would surely have an impact on the entire country and shape Indian politics going forward, with the South emerging as a pivotal battleground.

In his greetings, Prime Minister Narendra Modi wished everyone a happy Hanuman Janmotsav.

Arvind Kejriwal and K Kavitha’s judicial custody in the excise policy case is extended by the Delhi court until May 7.

In India, more than 100 million voters participated in the Lok Sabha election first phase. The estimated turnout ranged from 64 to 65%. There were reports of violence in various areas.

In the first phase of the Lok Sabha polls on Friday, over 100 million voters from 21 states and Union territories exercised their right to vote in 102 constituencies, marking the start of the largest democratic exercise in history, which will see nearly a billion people cast ballots over the next six weeks.

It is expected to rise once the final numbers are tallied by ECI by Saturday morning, as long queues were seen outside polling booths when voting officially closed at 6pm. In 2019, the turnout in these seats stood at 69.4%.

The EC, in a statement, said, “[V]oters reaching the Polling stations till the end of polling hour are allowed to cast their vote. Final figures will be known tomorrow after the scrutiny of form 17A.” Form 17A is the register of voters for every polling station.

The highest turnout was reported from Tripura West constituency in Tripura, where the contest is between Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Biplab Kumar Deb and Congress’s Asish Kumar Saha.

The lowest turnout was reported from Nawada in Bihar, where Vivek Thakur (BJP), Shravan Kushwaha (Rashtriya Janata Dal), and Ranjit Kumar (Bahujan Samaj Party) are in contest.

The first phase — which is also the largest of seven phases — saw all seats from Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Sikkim, Andaman and Nicobar, Lakshadweep and Puducherry go to the polls.

The other six phases will take place over the next six weeks, with the results on June 4. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is seeking a historic third consecutive term, hoping to become only the second PM after Jawaharlal Nehru to achieve this feat.

“First phase, great response! Thank you to all those who have voted today. Getting EXCELLENT feedback from today’s voting. It’s clear that people across India are voting for NDA in record numbers,” Modi tweeted late on Friday.

BJP lawmaker Sudhanshu Trivedi said there is a wave of support in favor of PM Modi and it was evident from the voter turnout in the first phase.

“By the end of the first phase, one more thing became clear… Rahul Gandhi has still not been able to muster the courage to file nomination from Amethi,” he said, adding that the BJP is confident that it will be successful in increasing its victory margin by winning more seats in the first phase than the last time.

The Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) is hoping to use a mix of regional leaders, local issues, and discontent over jobs to deny the BJP a third straight victory.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge urged voters to cast their ballots carefully and asserted that a new era of economic empowerment and equal opportunities beckons them.

“The fight to protect our Constitution and Democracy begins today,” he said in a post on X.

“My dear citizens, from 21 States and UTs who are voting in the First Phase of the Lok Sabha elections, I request you to carefully cast your vote. A future where NYAY (justice) awaits you. A new era of Economic Empowerment and Equal Opportunities beckons you,” the Congress chief said.

Vineeta Singh eliminates the misunderstanding that there is a difference between a person’s job and biological clocks: “There is no…”

Focus was also on the 12 Lok Sabha seats in Rajasthan, where the other 13 go to the polls in the next phase. The BJP had swept Rajasthan in 2019 and is contesting all seats. The Congress, on the other hand, is contesting 22 and left three for its alliance partners Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP), Communist Party of India (Marxist), and Bharat Adivasi Party (BAP). The state recorded a turnout of 57.3%, compared to 63.9% in 2019.

In Uttar Pradesh, eight seats in the western part of the state went to the polls. The state recorded a turnout of 59.8%, compared to 66.6% in 2019.

In Assam, five of the 14 seats went to the polls. The state recorded a turnout of 72.4%, but a comparison with previous elections was not possible because of seats being redrawn.

In the Maoist-ravaged Bastar, an assistant commandant of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) sustained injuries when a pressure cooker bomb planted by Maoists exploded and a CRPF jawan died in an accidental grenade explosion during an area domination exercise.

The seat — the only one to go the polls in Chhattisgarh on Friday — recorded a turnout of 67.1%, compared to 66.2%in 2019.

For the first time, people in 56 villages in Bastar in Chhattisgarh cast their vote in polling booths set up in their villages, said the poll body in its statement.

The poll body pointed out that in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, voters belonging to the tribal communities came out in large numbers. The Shompen tribe of Great Nicobar made history by casting a vote for the first time.

In 2019, the general elections recorded a turnout of 67%, the highest since the first election in 1951-52.

CAA Rules Notified: BJP fulfils another promise made in 2019 poll manifesto!

by Leave a Comment

The BJP expects to reap dividends from the announcement made on Monday in Assam, Punjab and West Bengal.

CAA Rules Notified

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has fulfilled yet another promise made in its 2019 election manifesto with the notification of the rules for the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha polls that will set in motion the process of fast-tracking citizenship rights for persecuted minorities from the neighbourhood.

“The Modi government today notified the Citizenship (Amendment) Rules, 2024. These rules will now enable minorities persecuted on religious grounds in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan to acquire citizenship in our nation. With this notification PM Shri @narendramodi Ji has delivered on another commitment and realised the promise of the makers of our constitution to the Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians living in those countries,” Union home minister Amit Shah posted on X (formerly Twitter) shortly after the announcement.

The BJP expects to reap dividends from the announcement made on Monday in Assam, Punjab and West Bengal. In West Bengal, where the Matua community counted among Scheduled Castes migrated from Bangladesh mainly because of religious persecution, the government promised the implementation of CAA to placate the community that has been on the fringes of economic and social growth.

The party is also hoping to earn support from Sikhs who migrated to India from Afghanistan and about 500 Hindu families who have arrived in batches from Pakistan and are spread over Delhi and Rajasthan. There is no data on how many families will benefit from the law. The government stated in Parliament in 2019 that 1,595 Pakistani and 391 Afghan migrants of all religions have been granted Indian citizenship between 2016 to 2018.

“Provision for capturing online citizenship data of migrants from minority communities namely Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi and Christian hailing from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh was introduced in 2018. As per the available data, 295 Hindus and Sikhs from Afghanistan and Pakistan have been granted Indian Citizenship since then,” Union minister Kiren Rijiju has said in a written reply.

Apart from the commitment to construct a Ram Temple and remove the provisions of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, which gave the erstwhile state special status, the party’s election manifesto spelt out the BJP’s commitment for giving Hindus, Jains, Parsis, Buddhists, Christians and Sikhs, who were persecuted in countries such as Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh a place in India and the rights to become a citizen. It will benefit who entered India on or before December 31, 2014.

The party has met all three promises, although the pending promise of implementing a uniform civil code is being implemented by separate BJP-ruled states. While the Bill to read down Article 370 was passed in Parliament in August 2019, the consecration of the Ram temple took place on January 25.

“We are committed to the enactment of the Citizenship Amendment Bill for the protection of individuals of religious minority communities from neighbouring countries escaping persecution,” the 2019 manifesto had said.

The party also clarified that it would address the concerns of the locals in the northeastern states that had apprehensions regarding the legislation. There were widespread protests against the provisions of the law after Parliament passed it in December 2019. “We reiterate our commitment to protect the linguistic, cultural and social identity of the people of Northeast,” the manifesto had said.

In the wake of protests from minorities in India that perceived CAA and the proposed national register of citizens (NRC) to impinge on their rights and identity, the BJP led outreach campaigns to assuage fears that the new law will take away their rights.

“The implementation of the CAA was intended to help those minorities who had nowhere else to go, but could count on India as their natural homeland. Take for instance the Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh who have been at the receiving end of extremist policies and the Sikhs who had to flee Afghanistan after the Taliban take over,” said a functionary of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the ideological fount of the ruling BJP that has rallied support for the implementation of the law.

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad, an affiliate of the RSS, said that it will provide all help to refugees to complete the formalities of applying for citizenship. “This is in accord with the Indian tradition of giving refuge, respect and dignity to all those who suffer indignities outside and seek the shelter of Mother India,” its international working president Alok Kumar said.

While states such as West Bengal, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh (then under Congress rule), Punjab, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu passed resolutions against the Act in 2019, on Monday West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee said the notification of the rules is timed with the impending elections.

“This law was passed in 2020. After multiple extensions in four years, its implementation two to three days before the election announcement shows that it is being done for political reasons,” she said.

The Congress also linked the timing to elections. “It has taken four years and three months for the Modi Government to notify the rules for the Citizenship Amendment Act that was passed by the Parliament in December 2019. The Prime Minister claims that his Government works in a business-like and time-bound manner. The time taken to notify the rules for the CAA is yet another demonstration of the Prime Minister’s blatant lies,” Congressman Jairam Ramesh said in a post on X.

After seeking nine extensions for the notification of rules, the timing right before the elections is “evidently designed to polarise the elections, especially in West Bengal and Assam” and to manage the headlines after the Supreme Court’s severe strictures on the “Electoral Bonds Scandal.”

PM Modi to reply on ‘Motion of Thanks’ in Rajya Sabha today!

by Leave a Comment

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will reply to the Motion of Thanks to the President’s Address in Rajya Sabha today, February 7.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will reply to the Motion of Thanks to the President’s Address in Rajya Sabha today, February 7. He replied to the Motion of Thanks to the President’s Address in Lok Sabha on Monday. President Droupadi Murmu addressed the joint sitting on January 31, the first day of the budget session. 

During his speech, he said that the third term of his government is not far and this time the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will win 400 seats, and the Bharatiya Janata Party, individually will get 370 seats.

He said the work done by the government in its current term gave him confidence that in the third term of the NDA, India will become the world’s third-largest economy, up from its fifth position now.

“This is Modi’s guarantee,” he told legislators, citing the speed of work in the country that gave him confidence this target would be reached within the next five-year term if the NDA wins the national election.

PM Modi said that in the interim budget for 2014, the then finance minister had said India had become the world’s eleventh-largest economy and over the next three decades would become the third-largest economy.

“This meant that India would become the third-largest economy only by 2044. We are confident of achieving this feat in the government’s third term itself,” Modi said.

“Our third term will be full of big decisions…I had said from the Red Fort and also reiterated at the time of Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha that I want to see the country prosperous and at the pinnacle of success for the next thousand years. The third term will be the time to lay a strong foundation for the next 1,000 years,” Modi said.

The Budget Session, which began on January 31, will be spread over eight sittings spread over 10 days and may conclude on February 9. 

Here’s your comprehensive 3-minute summary of all the things Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in her Budget speech.
