[ad_1] GG News Bureau Bengaluru, 23rd November. The Congress emerged victorious in all three assembly bypolls in Karnataka, dealing a blow to the BJP and JD(S) while reinforcing its position in the state. The results, declared on Saturday, saw Congress candidates defeating prominent rivals, including close family members of BJP and JD(S) stalwarts. In Shiggaon, Yasir Pathan defeated Bharath Bommai, son of former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai. Pathan’s win marks a significant upset in Bommai’s stronghold. In Channapatna, BJP turncoat CP Yogeshwara triumphed over JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy’s son with a massive margin. Congress’s Annapoorna Tukaram secured victory in Sandur, defeating BJP’s Bangara Hanumantha by 9,649 votes. Shivakumar Hails “People’s Mandate” Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar celebrated the victories, framing them as a rejection of opposition allegations and a sign of support for Congress’s governance. “This is a message from the people for what Basavaraj Bommai’s government failed to deliver. Only two things work: development and guarantees. The people have spoken, and this is just the beginning. We will return to power in 2028,” Shivakumar said. He further credited the success to Congress’s welfare initiatives, such as the Gruhalakshmi and Gruhajyothi schemes, which he said had a direct impact on people’s lives. “We are spending ₹55,000 crore for development and the welfare of the people. This victory is proof that these initiatives resonate with the masses,” he added. A Blow to the BJP and JD(S) Shivakumar didn’t hold back from taking jabs at the BJP and JD(S), asserting that their attempts to target the Congress leadership had backfired. “Kamala (the BJP’s lotus symbol) should stay in the lake, and the JD(S) plough belongs in the field. The people have rejected the baseless allegations made against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and other Congress leaders,” he quipped. The loss in Shiggaon is particularly significant for the BJP, as Basavaraj Bommai had earlier expressed confidence in retaining the seat, citing his 36,000-vote margin from the last election. Meanwhile, JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy had campaigned aggressively in Channapatna to secure a win for his son, but the result was a stark setback for the party. The Karnataka bypoll results come amid the announcement of assembly election results in Maharashtra and Jharkhand, as well as bypolls across 48 assembly seats and two Lok Sabha constituencies in 15 states. Early trends in Karnataka had initially shown a lead for the BJP in Shiggaon, but the Congress gained momentum as counting progressed. With this sweep, the Congress not only cements its grip on Karnataka but also sends a signal to the BJP-led NDA and JD(S) alliance ahead of future electoral battles in the state.   The post Congress Wins All Three Karnataka Bypolls, DK Shivakumar Calls It “A Message From the People appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.

Purvodaya: Developing India's Eastern Region

This year’s general election in India arguably brought up more questions about the fairness of the electoral process than any other in the country’s history.

For example, in December, a bill was passed in India’s parliament that allowed election commissioners to be appointed by a panel dominated by the executive branch, which many feared would endanger free and fair elections.

And during the campaign, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave a string of speeches that were widely seen as Islamophobic, in which he accused the opposition Congress Party of favouring Muslims. The Election Commission failed to adequately enforce the Model Code of Conduct when it came to these comments.

Opposition chief ministers, Arvind Kejriwal of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Hemant Soren of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), meanwhile, were arrested on charges of corruption. Both parties claimed the charges were politically motivated.

One of the lessons from the election, however, is that even when there are questions about how free and fair a vote is, opposition parties can dent the dominance of ruling parties.

In India’s election, the opposition presented a united front and stuck to a consistent message reflecting specific issues of voter discontent.

Why caste politics were so important

Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party did not perform as well as expected in the election, suffering major losses in its heartland northern Indian states. Modi began the six-week election campaign saying his party would win more than 400 seats. Ultimately, it was reduced to 240 seats, while the opposition Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) won 232 seats.

INDIA had a shaky start to the election. A founding member, the Janata Dal, joined Modi’s coalition earlier this year. INDIA also failed to reach a seat-sharing agreement with another member, Trinamool Congress (TMC), although that party remained part of the alliance.

Yet, as the campaign wore on, the BJP’s attacks on the opposition led to a more united front, focusing particularly on the issue of caste.

Indian society and politics are stratified by its caste system. It has roots in ancient religious texts, which grant symbolic and material rights and privileges to people based on their membership to a particular caste.

Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi’s speeches highlighted a commitment to protecting the Constitution and addressing the issue of caste-based injustice in India. He pledged to undertake a caste census to reveal the extent of disadvantage and concentration of wealth in society.

He also pointed out the government’s centralisation of power, as well as the upper caste-dominated media’s adulation of Modi and its inattention to issues of unemployment and inflation.

Lalu Prasad Yadav, a leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) party, which is also part of the INDIA coalition, warned the BJP intended to change the Constitution to end caste-based affirmative action. Though this was denied by Modi, the allegation seemed to strike a chord with voters.

Caste presented a dilemma for Modi’s Hindu nationalist politics, which valorises upper-caste Hindu practices and behaviours, while relying on support from the lower caste majority to win elections.

The BJP had sought to ameliorate this tension by promoting welfare schemes and accusing the secular opposition of colluding with Muslims to deprive the Hindu lower-caste poor.

In the lead-up to the election, Modi also claimed to have replaced traditional forms of caste stratification with four new castes of welfare “beneficiaries” – women, farmers, the youth and the poor.

In truth, however, the government’s welfare schemes consisted of paltry cash transfers, small loans, food rations and subsidies for private goods like toilets, which sought to compensate for the stagnation of incomes and lack of jobs. Spending on health and education by Modi’s government, which could have transformative effects on society, has languished.

The BJP’s infrastructure-driven economic program has benefited large companies, leading to accusations of crony capitalism. It has also failed to attract substantial foreign investment or grow the manufacturing sector to create more jobs.

Over the past decade – but particularly following the COVID pandemic – India has also become one of the world’s most unequal countries. Women, Dalits, Adivasis and Muslims have fared the worst.

Dalit politicians also grew in prominence

Perhaps the biggest surprise for the BJP were its heavy losses in its heartland state, Uttar Pradesh.

The Samajwadi Party (SP) had previously dominated Uttar Pradesh politics by promoting the interests of particular lower caste “other backward classes”. This tactic, however, generated resentment among other lower castes, which was exploited by the BJP to win power in 2017.

In this election, the SP appears to have fashioned a new, broader caste coalition.

This election also saw new shifts in Dalit politics, the lowest rung of the caste structure in India. In Uttar Pradesh, new Dalit political parties became increasingly prominent, such as the Azad Party led by Chandra Sekhar Azad.

Further south, the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) consolidated its status as the largest Dalit party in Tamil Nadu, winning all the seats it contested.

The future of Indian democracy

Indian democracy is not out of the woods yet. Activists, students, political leaders and journalists remain imprisoned.

The Hindu nationalist movement also has a history of inciting communal violence when things do not go its way in the electoral arena.

The Modi government started to extend its media censorship during the election, as well.

There is little to suggest that Modi will temper what many see as authoritarian tendencies, but there is now more resistance, scepticism and political alternatives that will hopefully aid India’s democratic recovery.

Lets Girls Be Born

Sex-selective elimination of female foetuses, often through the misuse of the very technology that was developed for the care of an unborn child, continues to be a problem.

Let Girls Be Born (LGBB) is an advocacy project through which Plan India, with the support of Plan International – Netherlands, works to end discrimination and fight female foeticide through effective implementation of the law. The project is currently active in Jharkhand, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.

Innovations

Geo-tagged mapping of testing centres on a portal that strengthens Pre-Conception and Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques (PC & PNDT) cells through online tracking and compliance

Changes in Governance: Delegating Chief Medical Health Officer’s (CMHO) powers to the District Magistrate (DM) for effective enforcement of PC & PNDT Act and to prevent any probable collusion with the offenders

Plan India undertakes capacity building of Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) who are trained at regional and block levels and then cascade their learning to peers and communities. These frontline workers (FLWs) coordinate, collaborate and consolidate efforts across the state to record and analyse data, identify and address gaps through grassroots level facilitation.

Plan also works with the state governments to showcase learning from other successful initiatives across India. Piloted in Rajasthan, the Mukhbir Yojana or Informant Scheme incentivises sharing of information on centres providing sex determination services or operating illegally. It is now also active in Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand. LGBB also works with volunteers empanelled by the State Legal Services Authority from the National Legal Awareness Programme and trained paralegals to disseminate information through Lok Adalats. The programme works with the communities on behaviour change and helps create a dialogue on roles for girls in the socio-economic context.

Active engagement with Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) has led to the display of ‘Guddi-Gudda’ boards within communities that present gender-segregated data. Effective tools for behaviour change, the boards drive ownership and spark reflection within communities over the issue of declining sex ratio. Peer educators and youth clubs have emerged as the backbone for community mobilisation and facilitation of on-ground actions. With work making rapid progress at both advocacy and grassroots levels, Plan is well on its way to ensure equality for girls’ right from their inception.

Highlights

Support to develop and manage the PC&PNDT portal in Jharkhand. Called ‘Garima Jharkhand’ the portal is being used to effectively monitor 938 registered ultrasound centres and genetic laboratories such as IVF centres.

1,632 girls enrolled for government’s flagship Sukanya Samiridhi Yojna with a total deposit of Rs 63,74,200 in the name of the girls by the parents.

848 girls enrolled for state-specific girl welfare schemes such as Mukhya Mantri Sukanya Yojna in Jharkhand, Rajshree Yojana in Rajasthan, and Kanya Sumangla Yojna in Uttar Pradesh.

99,650 community members reached with messaging on girls’ rights.

3000 students benefitted through the strengthening of Child Clubs and their libraries on gender equality in 15 schools of Jaipur.

Prime Minister to Embark on Nationwide Outreach Campaign

Mumbai, India – Prime Minister Narendra Modi will embark on a two-month nationwide outreach campaign, the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra, beginning on November 15, 2023. The yatra will focus on showcasing the achievements of the Central Government and creating awareness about various welfare schemes.

The yatra will commence on Birsa Munda Jayanti, celebrated as Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas, in Jharkhand's Khunti district. Prime Minister Modi will flag off IEC (Information, Education, and Communication) vans during the event. Over 2,500 such vans will cover 2.5 lakh gram panchayats and 3,700 urban local bodies across the country.

The primary objective of the yatra is to engage with people directly, particularly in tribal areas, and provide them with information about various government initiatives, including sanitation, financial services, electricity connections, LPG access, housing, food security, nutrition, healthcare, and clean drinking water.

The government also plans to enroll potential beneficiaries through details ascertained during the yatra.

Yatra Postponed in Poll-Bound States

The yatra was initially planned to cover all states, but it has been postponed in five poll-bound states – Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana, Rajasthan, and Mizoram – until after the elections. The decision was taken to avoid any potential misuse of the yatra for political purposes.

Positive Impact Expected

The Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra is expected to have a positive impact on the lives of millions of Indians. By creating awareness about government schemes and initiatives, the yatra can help empower people and improve their access to essential services.

The yatra is also an opportunity for the government to connect with people at the grassroots level and understand their needs and concerns. This feedback can be used to further improve government programs and policies.

[ad_1] Paromita Das GG News Bureau New Delhi, 21st November. The two-phase Jharkhand Assembly elections, which concluded on November 20, have set the stage for a fiercely contested battle between the ruling I.N.D.I Alliance and the opposition NDA. With political dynamics in the state reflective of the larger national discourse, the exit poll predictions by various agencies paint a complex and uncertain picture. Here, we analyze the numbers, the implications, and the stakes for both major players while offering a concluding opinion on what this means for Jharkhand and the nation. The Exit Polls: A Snapshot of Uncertainty Polling agencies have offered diverse predictions, indicating a tight race between the two alliances. Agency BJP+ (NDA) I.N.D.I Alliance Others Axis My India 25 53 3 Dainik Bhaskar 37-40 (38) 36-39 (37) 0-2 (1) Matrize 42-47 (45) 25-30 (27) 1-4 (2) P-Marq 31-40 (35) 37-47 (42) 1-6 (3) People’s Pulse 44-53 (48) 23-37 (30) 5-9 (7) Times Now-JVC 40-44 (42) 30-40 (35) 1-1 (1) Average 38 37 3 This data underscores a few critical points: A Marginal Advantage for NDA? While the average predictions place the NDA marginally ahead with 38 seats compared to the I.N.D.I Alliance’s 37, the numbers are far too close for any definitive conclusions. The “Others” Factor: The Others, predicted to secure around three seats on average, could emerge as kingmakers if the final tally remains as tight as projected. Agency Divergence: The stark differences in forecasts—for instance, Axis My India giving a decisive lead to the I.N.D.I Alliance (53 seats) while Matrize and People’s Pulse predict clear victories for the BJP+—highlight the challenges in predicting voter behavior in Jharkhand. Key Issues Influencing Voter Sentiment Local Governance and Development The Hemant Soren-led government has relied on welfare schemes, tribal empowerment, and rural development initiatives to secure its position. However, allegations of corruption and inefficiency have provided ammunition for the opposition. National vs. Regional Narratives The NDA has leveraged national issues such as economic reforms, security, and the Modi government’s performance to garner votes. The I.N.D.I Alliance, on the other hand, has positioned itself as a defender of state autonomy and minority rights, emphasizing localized concerns. Tribal Vote Dynamics Jharkhand, with its significant tribal population, is a battleground for identity politics. The ruling alliance, particularly the JMM (Jharkhand Mukti Morcha), has historically dominated this demographic. The BJP’s efforts to make inroads here remain a decisive factor. Employment and Youth Concerns High unemployment rates and lack of industrialization continue to haunt Jharkhand’s youth. Both alliances have promised reforms, but skepticism persists among voters. Implications of the Results For the I.N.D.I Alliance: A victory would solidify Hemant Soren’s leadership and boost the broader alliance’s credibility ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Failure to retain power might fracture the alliance’s unity in the state, with smaller partners like Congress potentially reassessing their strategies. For the NDA: A win would signify a resurgence of BJP’s dominance in Jharkhand and bolster its position in eastern India. A loss would raise questions about its ability to counter regional alliances effectively in upcoming elections. For Jharkhand’s Politics: A fractured mandate would likely lead to coalition politics, potentially slowing governance and decision-making in the state. The Road Ahead: Challenges for the Victor Regardless of who takes the reins, the next government faces a daunting task. Ensuring political stability, addressing unemployment, resolving land rights issues for tribals, and curbing corruption will be critical to fulfilling the aspirations of the people. A Reflection on Jharkhand’s Political Landscape Jharkhand’s elections are emblematic of India’s complex political landscape, where regional aspirations often collide with national ambitions.

The narrow margins in exit poll predictions underscore a deeply polarized electorate, shaped by competing narratives of development, identity, and governance. The I.N.D.I Alliance’s reliance on regional identity politics faces stiff competition from the NDA’s push for a broader nationalistic agenda. This contest reflects a larger trend in Indian politics: the increasing importance of regional voices even as national parties attempt to consolidate their positions. In my opinion, these elections are a litmus test for the strength of alliances—both regional and national. They also signal the growing importance of nuanced, localized campaigns over one-size-fits-all strategies. Conclusion: Jharkhand at a Crossroads As Jharkhand awaits its assembly election results, the state stands at a critical juncture. The outcome will not only determine its immediate governance but also shape its long-term trajectory in terms of development, tribal welfare, and political stability. Whichever alliance emerges victorious must prioritize inclusivity, address pressing issues, and foster sustainable growth. Only then can Jharkhand truly fulfill its potential as a thriving state in India’s federal structure.   The post Jharkhand Assembly Elections 2024: A Tussle of Power and Predictions appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.
