Tax on Toilet in Himachal Pradesh created storm in the ongoing state election campaign

A notification was issued by the Himachal government to impose toilet tax in urban areas on September 21, which was withdrawn by the evening with some modification being performed over it, but since then the news got leaked and reached the offices of the other political parties, who raised concerns over the state governments’ carrot-and-stick approach. If the toilet tax issue is viewed through the prism of the Swachh Bharat Mission lens, the decision appears to be imprudent and casual. Very recently, the state declared itself to have achieved a milestone in providing toilets to each household and put a stop to open defecation completely....

Decode Politics: Why PM Modi is Talking About ‘Bandarbant’ in Himachal

Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently sparked a political firestorm with his claims at rallies in Nahan and Mandi, accusing the Congress-led Himachal Pradesh government of mismanaging flood relief funds. Modi’s assertion that the Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu government distributed National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) and State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) money indiscriminately has led to heated exchanges between the BJP and Congress leaders.

PM Modi’s Allegations

At the rallies, PM Modi alleged, “The Centre sent hundreds of crores of rupees to the state government after last year’s disaster, but those funds were distributed indiscriminately. Mark my words, this government’s collapse is imminent. I promise you that I will account for every single paisa from them and put it in the hands of Mandi’s people.”

What Funds Was Modi Referring To?

The funds in question are part of the NDRF and SDRF, with Himachal Pradesh receiving a total of Rs 1,148 crore in relief (Rs 360.80 crore from SDRF and Rs 787.25 crore from NDRF) over 2023 and 2024. These funds are critical for immediate disaster response, with the SDRF being the primary resource for state governments and the NDRF supplementing it when disasters are particularly severe.

The Alleged ‘Bandarbant’ (Indiscriminate Distribution)

Former Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition, Jairam Thakur, claims that the Himachal government distributed relief funds selectively, favoring Congress supporters and not following proper procedures. He argues that cash distributions were made manually by local leaders, which is against the rules that mandate bank transfers for amounts exceeding Rs 25,000. Additionally, Thakur alleges that the state government raised compensation amounts arbitrarily, such as increasing the amount for a completely damaged house from Rs 1.30 lakh to Rs 7 lakh without proper procedures.

Himachal Pradesh Government’s Response

The state government has denied these allegations. A senior official from the Department of Revenue and Disaster Management stated that NDRF and SDRF funds are spent strictly according to Ministry of Home Affairs guidelines. Naresh Chauhan, the principal adviser (media) to CM Sukhu, dismissed Modi’s claims as baseless, accusing local BJP leaders of spreading misinformation rather than helping secure more funds from the Centre. He also refuted the claim that relief money was distributed in cash.

Congress’s Accusations Against the Centre

In response, Chief Minister Sukhu and Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi have accused the Centre of neglecting Himachal Pradesh’s needs. After the severe floods in July-August 2023 that killed 441 people and damaged over 14,000 houses, the state government requested Rs 9,900 crore in disaster relief from the Centre, which has not been fully met. Despite launching its own relief fund and appealing for donations, the state received only Rs 360 crore under the SDRF from the Centre in December 2023.

Conclusion

The ongoing political tussle between the BJP and Congress over disaster relief funds in Himachal Pradesh highlights deeper issues of fund allocation, disaster management, and political accountability. As the state rebuilds from last year’s devastating floods, these accusations and counter-accusations are likely to shape the political landscape leading up to future elections.

Amit Kumar had everything going for him. After graduating in engineering and landing a decent job, Amit wanted to settle down with his childhood sweetheart Renu. The couple had known each other since Class IX and dreamt of a life together. The only difficulty was that Renu belonged to a Brahmin family and Amit was a Dalit.

With their homes barely a kilometre apart in Garhwa district of Jharkhand, Renu knew her family would never approve of the match. The couple decided to run away and tie the knot in another State. And thus began their tale of unending harassment and tragedy.

The couple married at a temple in Dehradun and got their marriage registered there. They had just about settled down at Paonta Sahib in Himachal Pradesh when, in a midnight raid, the Uttar Pradesh police took away Renu, claiming that she had been abducted. Amit and Renu have not seen or spoken to each other since that fateful night of August 13, 2021.

Amit’s life has been a quagmire of legal battles and dismissed habeas corpus petitions since then. “I fear my wife is no more,” he told The Hindu.

Activists say such tragic situations can be avoided if couples like Amit and Renu are provided safe houses and special protection by the State governments as mandated by the Supreme Court.

According to data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), the number of “honour killings” in the country was 24, 25 and 33 in 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Punjab, Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand topped the list in 2021 and 2020, while Manipur was on top in 2019.

The government in 2021 informed Parliament that there were 145 “honour killing” incidents in the country between 2017 and 2019.

Interestingly, though the NCRB report attributed only 25 deaths to “honour killings” in 2020, it said there were 27 deaths due to casteism and 1,558 due to “illicit relationship”. Similarly, in 2021, 33 deaths were listed under “honour killings”, but 1,544 and 1,532 under “illicit relationship” and “love affairs”, respectively.

So far, only Delhi, Haryana and Punjab have safe houses for inter-faith and inter-religious couples. Kerala has only announced the setting up of a safe house.

In fact, only 21 States have said that they have complied with the Supreme Court directives, which means that they have asked the police officers concerned of a State for strict compliance, according to Dhanak for Humanity, a non-governmental organisation which works with such couples, helping them solemnise their marriages and providing legal support.

The Supreme Court had in 2018 directed that safe houses be set up in every district as well as a special cell in States for couples facing opposition from families and community.

Gaurav Yadav, an engineer from IIT Chennai, said he was working with survivors of “honour crimes” and couples who are in hiding to petition the government for more safe houses across the country.

“Soon we will form an official grouping and petition the government to follow the Supreme Court directives on safe houses and special cells,” Mr. Yadav said, adding that he had organised a convention regarding the same in Delhi recently.

He said though couples had been demanding that safe houses be set up, the State administrations had looked the other way.

An example is of Ravikant Chandrawanshi and Alisha, who had a harrowing time getting married under the Special Marriage Act in Chhattisgarh.

The inter-faith couple at first decided to elope and marry in Bilaspur. However, a lack of support system and security, including finances, saw them return home in Kawardha within four days.

“As my wife’s family were well to do and politically connected, they kept up the pressure on us. Finally, we had to take legal recourse and approached the High Court asking them to direct the State administration to provide the mandated safe house and police protection.

“However, we were informed that there was no safe house and Alisha had to go to a sakhi centre or a women’s safe house,” Mr. Chandravanshi said.

Though the couple approached the highest of authorities, they were not given any police protection either and had to go into hiding for around six months after their marriage.

According to Asif Iqbal of Dhanak for Humanity, most States send the girl to a Nari Niketan after couples approach them. “It is here that the girl is the most insecure as her family mostly approaches her and puts pressure to go back. Many a time, this also leads to what is known as honour killing of the girl”.

Sanjay Sachadev of Love Commandoes, an organisation which rescues and shelters such couples, said, “The need of the hour is safe houses across the country. In almost every case, the police try and send the girl to a women’s shelter and the boy is left to fend for himself.”

A couple who are staying in a Delhi safe house and did not wish to be identified said that they could not have thought of living together had it not been for the security of the safe house.

Mr. Iqbal, whose organisation has helped many couples seek legal recourse to stay together and get married, said that of the distress calls he receives, the most were from Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan.
