For most of the years since independence,the federal government has been led by theIndian National Congress (INC),

9/31

From 1950 to 1990, barring two brief periods,

the INC enjoyed a parliamentary majority. The

INC was out of power between 1977 and 1980,

when the Janata Party won the election owing topublic discontent with the corruption of the then

Prime MinisterIndira Gandhi. In 1989, a

Janata Dal-led National Front coalition in

alliance with the Left Front coalition won theelections but managed to stay in power for only

two years.

10/31

As the 1991 elections gave no political

party a majority, the INC formed a

minority government under Prime Minister

P.V. Narasimha Rao and was able tocomplete its five-year term.

Chief Minister appointment - Governor

sole judge

SOME VIEWS have been expressed that

the power exercised by the Governor in

choosing Ms. Jayalalithaa as the Chief

Minister of Tamil Nadu is not correct and

that it is violative of the constitutional

provisions.


16/31

In particular, in the article ``Discretionary power of

Governors'' (TheHindu, June 16), it is stated that in

the light of Articles 173(c) and 192 of the Constitution

the swearing-in of Ms. Jayalalithaa who is not a

member of the Legislative Assembly is violative of

the Constitutional Law and Convention. It is

necessary to examine the above views in the light of

the provisions of the Constitution as interpreted by

various decisions of the apex court.


17/31

It is a fact that the nomination of Ms.Jayalalithaa to stand as a candidate of theAIADMK for the election to the Assembly

was not accepted even though her appealagainst her conviction was pending in theHigh Court and though at about the sametime Mr. Balakrishna Pillai's nomination for

the election to the Kerala Assembly wasaccepted by the returning officer theredespite his conviction.

STATE GOVERNMENT ELECTIONS IN

RAJASTHAN

It would be an understatement to say that theyear 2008 in Rajasthan was soaked in blood. Beit the terror attacks in the Pink City Jaipur or theagitation of Gujjars demanding more reservation,the past year was a violent one for Rajasthan.The Gujjar agitation, which snowballed into amass movement, is likely to be a major decidingfactor in the Lok Sabha polls. Terrorism and the

overall security scenario, especially post 26/11Mumbai terror attacks, are likely to play onvoters minds.


21/31

GUJJAR

The Gujjars constitute around 5 to 6

percent of Rajasthans entire population.

The community, which is categorised

under the Other Backward Classes, isdemanding reservation under Scheduled

Tribe status.


22/31


23/31

The very issue which mobilised the

community has left it divided on whether

what they got is satisfactory. One faction

led by Col (retd) K S Bainsla, the convenerof believes it was the best deal they could

have brokered with the Raje government.

While the other faction feels that they havebeen cheated by both the state

government and their leaders


24/31

TERRORISM

Rajasthan, which was till recently consideredimmune to the threat of terrorism, witnessed aseries of nine synchronised bomb blasts atdifferent locations rocked Jaipur within a span of

fifteen minutes on May 13, 2008. 63 people diedand 216 were injured in the deadly bombings.

Two days after the blasts, a previously unknownIslamic militant group known as Indian

Mujahideen, sent an e-mail to Indian media inwhich they claimed responsibility for the attacksand said they would "demolish the faith(Hinduism)" of the "infidels of India".


25/31

In 2008, there was a bomb blast sufi

shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti at

Ajmer on Thursday at 6:20 pm, leaving

two dead and eleven injured. In such ascenario, terrorism is likely to determine

the vote swing.


26/31

THIRSTY FARMERS

The farmers demanded 58 per cent of thewater from Indira Gandhi Canal, as waspromised by the government. An

agreement to that effect was signedbetween the government and the KisanSangharsh Samiti in 2004. The farmersallege that the government has not kept its

word.


27/31

CORRUPTION

The issue of corruption could be an

important one, especially from a Congress

perspective, to increase its vote share.

Congress got a help from an unexpectedcorner when BJP veteran Bhairon Singh

Shekhawat went public over his letter

written to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot,alleging large-scale corruption during the

previous BJP regime


28/31

STATE GOVERNMENT ELECTIONS IN

UTTAR PRADESH

Which way will the Muslim vote swing in this election ?InUttar Pradesh, Muslims have voted more or less as amonolithic group. They either support the CongressParty, which is seen to be secular as opposed to the pro-

Hindu BJP, or they vote for regional parties, as was thecase at the polls in 2004.

P.N. Arora, Bureau Chief (Ayodhya), Times of India,said: "As in today, the Muslims in Uttar Pradesh have noother choice than to vote for Samajwadi Party headed byMulayam Singh. They have no other choice but to gowith SP. Their second option is the Congress party, butthey don't relate with BJP or BSP."


29/31

Resurgence of the Congress & BJP in UP

With two phases of the Lok Sabha pollscompleted, there appears to be a clear

resurgence of the national parties, mainly

the Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party,in Uttar Pradesh.When the electoral

process started, no one had any inkling of

this. But, then, such unexpected outcomesare the hallmarks of India's vibrant

democracy.


30/31

The Election Commission of India has madeelections less visible and less audible: Nobanners, no posters, no hoardings, no wallwritings, no handbills, and, no blaring of

loudspeakers. The fear of the ElectionCommission's Expenditure Observers, who arekeeping a close vigil on actual expenditures bycandidates, and video recording crucialhappenings in constituencies, is a deterrent

against any violations of the Model Code ofConduct. The Commission has also ensured thepolls to be free from any serious violence andbloodshed, rigging or booth capturing


31/31

Voters turn out has been low (first phase:

48 to 50%, second phase: 44%), in spite

of the vigorous voters' mobilisation drive.

While a scorching sun at 41 degreesCelsius, the harvesting season, and the

Election Commission's stringent

regulations may have deterred voters,there may be deeper reasons for voters

not showing up .
