Two phase polls for Gram Panchayat elections
AAP and BSP may tie up for Uttar Pradesh polls and in Karnataka Gram Panchayat polls
In an
informal chat with newsmen after reviewing preparations in
Belagavi
revenue division with the senior officials at Suvarna Vidhana
Soudha
here on Thursday, State Election Commissioner P.N. Srinivasachari
said
the total number of Gram Panchayats had gone up to more than 6,000
and
the electoral college consisting of over 3.40 crore voters.
Elections
would be held for all such Gram Panchayats which were due to
complete
their term in August this year and would go to polls in two
phases with
a time gap of three or four days. Subsequently, elections
would be held
for the GPs whose term ends after August at a later stage.
He
said that the exact number of Gram Panchayats, voters and other data
would be available only after the SEC reviewed the preparations in
all
the four divisions. So far the SEC had reviewed preparations, which
included revision of electoral rolls, nature of polling stations,
facilities and measures, security arrangements and availability of
staff
in respect of Mysuru division recently. Similar reviews was held
and conducted for Bengaluru and Kalaburagi divisions at their
respective
headquarters on April 25 and 28.
In Belagavi
division there are 1,655 Gram Panchayats with 9,800 polling
stations and
over 75,31,000 electorates, spread over seven districts
viz. Bagalkot,
Belagavi, Dharwad, Gadag, Haveri, Uttar Kannada and
Vijayapura.
He
said so far the SEC had not received any objection or complaint
on
reservation of GP constituencies. The revision of electoral rolls was
completed by April 30. However, the voters would be allowed to make
corrections till the last day of the nomination process. The entire
exercise of conducting elections to the Gram Panchayats would be around
Rs. 66 crore, he added.
This Country in general and Karnataka in particular, having an agro-based economy, depends the most on its villages for growth.
But
unfortunately, that feeling is slowly waning. Poverty, lack
of
education, lack of sanitation, etc are the first associations about
villages for our benefit.
702 villages in the State are facing a serious drinking water problem.
If
we want to change the system, we should be in system. People are
anticipating that Govt. will provide and solve the common daily issues.
It will never happen in Karnataka. Upper class is thinking of high
priority money making things. lower middle class and poor class waiting
for sunrise. We need leaders for Sarvajan Hithaye Sarvajan Sukhaye
i.e., for peace, happiness and welfare of all societies who can change
the system which will be now Karnataka

AAP and BSP may tie up for Uttar Pradesh polls
New
Delhi: Delhi’s ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Uttar Pradesh’s
erstwhile ruling Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) may join hands to contest the
upcoming Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. The two parties have started
backstage initial talks already.
Under the deal being
negotiated, while BSP, headed by former Uttar Pradesh chief minister
Mayawati, may focus on rural seats, AAP, led by Delhi chief minister
Arvind Kejriwal, may get to contest the urban seats.
AAP, after
initial hesitation, recently announced its intentions of exploring its
options of expanding beyond Delhi. Uttar Pradesh and Punjab have been
identified as two potential states where it has chances of growing due
to an existing base of volunteers and supporters.
BSP, on the
other hand, wants to put its best foot forward to regain power in
India’s most populous and politically crucial state after being voted
out of power in 2012 state polls. Both parties failed to win even a
single seat in the 2014 general elections in Uttar Pradesh.
Both
AAP and BSP are opposed to alliances and prefer to chart out their
political future independently. Thus, coming together of the two parties
would require compromising on their known stands.
Under the deal
being negotiated, AAP may get to contest one assembly seat in each of
the 80 Lok Sabha constituencies of the state, and BSP will put up its
candidates on the remaining seats in the 403-member state assembly.
While
BSP with its roots in Uttar Pradesh will provide AAP with the
much-needed clutches to stand on in the state, BSP is eyeing AAP’s
committed vote bank of traders and Muslims.
No formal
announcement in this regard is expected until the polls are formally
announced. Under normal circumstances, state polls are due in Uttar
Pradesh in early 2017. However, there are speculations that the state’s
ruling Samajwadi Party may opt for early polls and prefer to hold it a
year ahead of the schedule depending upon the outcome in October’s
assembly elections in neighbouring Bihar.
The common factor
between Uttar Pradesh and Bihar is that socialists are in power and are
being challenged strongly by India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party
(BJP), which virtually wiped them out in last year’s general elections
in their own backyards.
An internal survey conducted on behalf of
BJP suggests that while the party is headed to win a simple majority in
Uttar Pradesh, the BSP-AAP combination may emerge as the second-largest
political block by wining nearly 145 seats, pushing the Samajwadi Party
to a poor third spot.
In the process, AAP may emerge as the
biggest gainer as it could end up winning more than 50 seats with BSP’s
backing — more seats compared to Samajwadi Party and the Congress party
put together.
