Elections in India
Election in India is often seen as a celebration of a democratic approach. Since independence, we ensure free fair, and regular elections in India. Only during we feel that power belongs to people.
During Gujarat assembly elections, the holding of periodic free and fair elections by the Election Commission was considered to be a part and parcel of the Basic Structure of the Constitution. But in reality or in practice we see that the elections held in India are not free and fair because many corrupt practices have been done before, during, and after the election.
For instance: Election Politics Moreover, one can observe, intimidation of voters and rigging on election day. And, currently, we are watching that different political parties are offerings free schemes or freebies to people so that people cast their vote for them. Election Politics For example, in the Punjab election, Aam aadmi party promised people to provide free 300 units of electricity and so on, Similarly in the upcoming Gujarat election different political parties are offerings free electricity and water supply, if they won.
Bihar Election
Bihar Legislative Assembly election was held in, October–November 2020 in three phases for 243 seats. National Democratic Alliance emerged as the winner on 125 seats. And Nitish Kumar became the chief minister of Bihar. And principal opposition became the coalition of different parties that is mahagathbandhan.
Economically Bihar is a very backward state. and for a long time, the main issue in Bihar is jobs and its economy. During the pandemic lockdown, many migrant laborers had to come back to Bihar, which create a serious humanitarian crisis. Election Politics For this workers blamed the current government for not having jobs for them. Issues such as lack of employment, the Bihar flood, covid 19, limited digital connectivity in Bihar, and the migrant crisis, may have had an impact on campaigning and poll outcomes.
Maharashtra Election
Maharashtra elections BJP from the government with NCP and Devendra fadwanees becomes the chief minister but the government collapsed within 3 days. Then On 28 November 2019, the governor swore in Uddhav Thackeray, the Shiv Sena chief, as the new chief minister of Maharashtra.
In late June 2022, the maha Vikas aghadi collection, led by the uddhava Thackeray began to fall. Eknath Shinde, a senior Shiv Sena leader, along with several other MLAs of the party leave the collection. In this situation, Uddhav Thackeray decided to resign from the post as chief minister, due to which no floor test was held in Maharashtra legislative assembly. Election Politics Then Eknath Shinde formed a new coalition with the BJP. On June 30 2022 he was sworn in as the Chief Minister and Devendra Fadnavis as the Deputy Chief Minister.
India is having parliamentary democracy and where people are having importance in making the government.
In India, you can see the people’s power at the time of elections. At present time debates of freebies came into controversy because at the time of elections states expend money on welfare meant policy like Tamil Nadu government time of elections brought the distribution of television and at time of Utter Pradesh election opposition came up with the distribution of laptops but they forgot that what the state people actually need they need basic demands of food and employment.
That’s how Indian politics affects common life and election.
