If Election Commission decides on simultaneous polls, Telangana may prefer snap poll to Assembly

Election Commission of India

The term of Telangana Assembly will end on June 8, 2019. That means EC is empowered to hold polls to TS Assembly any time after Dec 8, 2018.

If at all the Election Commission of India wants to hold polls to the Assemblies of the states, whose terms will be ending in the second half of 2018 or in the first half of 2019, simultaneously with Lok Sabha elections, Telangana too may duly witness “early” polls irrespective of the state government’s decision. 

The reason for this opinion is that Section 14(2) of the Representation of People Act which empowers EC to hold elections to any State Assembly at any time earlier than six months prior to the expiry of the term of that particular House without its dissolution. Thus, EC can notify elections to the Lok Sabha as well as State Legislative Assemblies whose term will end between December this year and June next year.

Besides Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Odisha and Mizoram are the States whose Assemblies’ term would end in this six-month period. The term of the present Lok Sabha will end on June 3, 2019.  That means EC can hold LS polls any day after Dec 3, 2018. Thus, it can also hold elections to the Assemblies of these States, six months prior to the end of the normal term of the respective Houses anytime after Dec 3.  

The term of Telangana Assembly will end on June 8, 2019. That means EC is empowered to hold polls to TS Assembly any time after Dec 8, 2018. If it decides to hold simultaneous polls after Dec 8, TS government will have to accept it.

If the TS government wants polls earlier than Dec 8, the State Cabinet will have to recommend to the Governor dissolution of the House. 

Against this backdrop, according to TRS sources, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is of the view that a decision on going in for Assembly polls as per schedule or earlier should be taken depending on the “move” of the Prime Minister who is in favour of holding simultaneous elections in the country.

“If Lok Sabha and Assembly polls are held at a time, the CM thinks, the pro-Modi and anti-Modi waves, along with other national level issues might influence the State Assembly poll. KCR wants the electoral battle in the State to be focused on local issues, development programmes and welfare measures being implemented by his government. Hence his preference for separate State Assembly polls,” sources told Express.

Another argument doing the rounds in TRS circles is that Assembly polls will be held in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, where Congress is the main opposition party, in coming December/January.

Holding Assembly polls in TS much earlier might incapacitate the Congress and prevent it from marshalling all its men and resources for a poll fight in TS. Further, if TS Assembly elections are held much ahead of Lok Sabha polls, the TRS can win more LS seats as it can fully concentrate on parliamentary constituencies.

Thus, if the EC is for holding simultaneous polls, KCR might either opt for Assembly polls in October/November by dissolving the House after holding the monsoon session by end of July. If the EC is for holding LS polls in April/May 2019, then also, the CM might prefer the polls to be conducted much prior to the original schedule. 

This might happen in December as the second round of Rythu Bandhu cheque distribution to farmers will be taken up in November (for Rabi season). Besides, Mission Bhagiratha, construction of double bedroom houses for the poor and other flagship schemes of his government are expected to be completed by then.

KCR not in favour of simultaneous polls

Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is learnt to be of the view that if at all the Centre wants to go for simultaneous polls to Lok Sabha along with State Assemblies, whose terms will end between Dec 2018 and June 2019, the Telangana State Assembly should have polls prior to that. This is to avoid the Modi factor which may influence Telangana poll outcome. The Chief Minister wants Assembly polls to be fought on his government’s development and welfare schemes.

The BJP, which is seeking a second straight term under Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in Maharashtra, is contesting 164 seats, which include candidates of smaller allies contesting on its lotus symbol, while Sena has fielded candidates on 126 seats.

On the other hand, the Congress has fielded 147 candidates and the ally NCP 121.

Among other parties, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), led by Raj Thackeray, has fielded 101 candidates, the CPI 16, the CPM 8. The BSP has fielded candidates in 262 constituencies. A total of 1400 Independents are also in the poll arena.

The opposition campaign was, however, lacklustre as both the Congress and the NCP were plagued by infighting and desertions in the run-up to the polls.

Election Schedule for Maharashtra, Haryana and Jharkhand may be announced soon.


The election schedule of Maharashtra and Haryana is likely to be announced in the next few days. Top sources in the Election Commission (EC) said that the announcement could begin in the next two to three days.

Elections for the three-state assemblies Maharashtra, Haryana and Jharkhand are due before the end of the year. Notification of Haryana and Maharashtra elections will come first. The Jharkhand Legislative Assembly will go to elections later and may be involved in several phases due to the threat of Left-Wing Extremism and deployment of forces.

The final round of review for the elections to the two-state assemblies of the BJP-ruled states is underway. The EC has held several rounds of meetings with state institutions and home ministry officials on security assessment and deployment of paramilitary forces during elections.

The Election Commission is to finalize the list of officials of both the states, which may be directly associated with election duties.

Result of by-elections 2019

A by-election, also spelled bye-election (Ireland only) (known as a special election in the United States and the Philippines, and a bypoll in India), is an election used to fill an office that has become vacant between general elections.

In most cases, these elections occur after the incumbent dies or resigns, but they also occur when the incumbent becomes ineligible to continue in office (because of a recall, ennoblement, criminal conviction, or failure to maintain a minimum attendance). Less commonly, these elections have been called when a constituency election is invalidated by voting irregularities.

Result updates for by-elections 2019

Voting for Bye-elections results was held on 21 October. The elections results will be released on Thursday 24 October.

BJP gives six months to its MPs to improve performance

BJP gives six months to its MPs to improve performance

23

The highest number of 19 MPs with low-performance reports are from UP, followed by Raj, Bihar, MP, Gujarat and Karnataka.

NEW DELHI: The BJP has identified around 90 to 100 Lok Sabha MPs, including over a dozen ministers, whose performance in their constituencies has been faulted by party workers.

Their list was drawn up in a 5-day meeting of BJP on the basis of the reports submitted by the party’s organising general secretaries from the states.

These MPs have been asked to improve their performance in their respective constituencies in the next six months before the party starts finalising the candidates for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, party sources said.

They said the highest number of 19 MPs with low-performance reports are from Uttar Pradesh, followed by Rajasthan, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Karnataka, as their popularity among people has sunk for doing negligible work.

In fact, the performance of each of the party’s 273 MPs was assessed in the meeting held in Surajkund holiday resort last week. This was on the basis of the feedback from the BJP organising general secretaries, who are all borrowed from the RSS.

The party will gather more information about the MPs through NaMo APP and at least two surveys by private agencies before it gets down in January to finalise the list of candidates. Since the exercise is planned for January, it rules out the possibility of Prime Minister Modi advancing the Lok Sabha elections to hold them simultaneously with the Assembly elections.
