State Election Commissioner GK Rao on Wednesday said that ruling BJP entered into Panchayat by-election in Tripura by winning 113 out of 130 gram panchayat seats. He said that BJP also won five out of seven Panchayat Samiti seats.

The Indigenous Peoples Front of Tripura (IPFT), an ally of BJP won nine gram panchayat seats, the SEC said.

Rao said that opposition Congress and CPI-M won four gram panchayat seats respectively.

The by-election for the 132 gram panchayat seats and seven Panchayat Samiti seats was held on September 30. The state election commission declared for re-polling in two gram panchayat seats in Khowai block of Khowai district on October 5 and results would be announced on October 7, Rao told.

State Election Commissioner had announced the by-elections for 3,207 Gram Panchayat seats, 161 Panchayat Samiti seats and 18 seats of Zilla Parishad on 1 September 2018.

The by-election was necessitated as a large number of Panchayat Samiti members resigned after the BJP-IPFT government assumed office on March 3.

Officials said that the BJP had won more than 96 percent of the seats, where the by-election was announced without the election as the opposition parties did not file any nomination papers in those seats.

Hyderabad: Data from Election Commission of India revealed that the number of recognised and registered but unrecognised political parties have increased twofold during election years, in the last decade. There are more than 2,000 political parties in India. A majority of them were registered in the election years 2014 and 2016, however over 31 per cent of them did not contest. Data indicates that not even a third of these parties participated in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. It looks like political parties are registered to take advantage of tax benefits rather than to contest elections.

The data released by the EC shows that one unrecognised party was registered in 2014, 10 in 2016 and two in 2018 from the two Telugu-speaking states. Out of these 13 unrecognised parties, the office address of three (All Indian Party — Assam gardens, Visakhapatnam, All India Sadguna Party, Chittoor, Anna YSR Congress Party, Kadapa, have been registered in Andhra Pradesh and the rest have their party office in Hyderabad-Secunderabad. Some of these parties with offices in Hyderabad are: Mahajana Socialist Party, Balamrai Rasool-Pura, Andhra Nadu Party, Masab Tank, Bahujan Republican Party, Ramnagar, Bharatiya Seva Dal, Somasunderam Street, Secunderabad, Jai Telangana Party Srinagar, Hyderabad, Telangana Praja Party, Chudi Bazaar Dargah, Satyayug Party, Mekala Mandi Road, Bholakpur, National Citizens Party - Maruti Tower, Kukatpally.

D. Rakesh Reddy, founder of Factly (the public information portal) says that the parties registered in Telangana state and Andhra Pradesh are all unrecognised. “The only benefit they enjoy is tax exemption. Donations to these parties are 100 per cent tax-free, however, the parties have to submit an audit report to the EC defining their income (donations) and expenditure.”

It is alleged that political parties are floated before elections to launder black money. For example, if unaccounted cash of Rs 1 lakh is to be donated, one can create names of contributors and below Rs 2,000 can be donated in form of cash. The party founders can show expenses in the name of public meetings.
"Other facilities like government providing support in the form of land at discounted prices for a party office and other perks are only for recognised parties, added Dr Reddy.

This correspondent spoke to members of two unrecognised parties. Baldhir Singh, the founder of Bharatiya Seva, a party registered in 2014, explained why they did not contest in 2014 elections.

“Candidates failed to spend for election thus no contestant announced by the party came forward to fight elections, thus BSD did not participate,” he said.


Jai Simha, the founder of the National Citizens’ Party registered with the EC in 2016, said, “The party candidates will contest in 2018 Assembly elections from a few constituencies in Secunderabad.”

HYDERABAD: Many residents of the city were shocked to get their names disappeared from the revised electoral roll.

Before the amendment of Electronic Rolls (IER) on September 9, 2016, the total number of voters was 40,39,638 and on September 10, 2018, the number of revised rolls was 38,61,009. On January 20 this year, after taking the IER, a voter list was published, in which the number of voters was 38,06,819.

Environment activist Lubna Saravat, who contested from Hyderabad parliamentary constituency in 2014, said that her name was removed without his consent.

Authorities attributed the decline in the number of voters on the electoral rolls in the city to the deletion of double entries and said the revision of rolls was being done as per Election Commission of India (ECI) guidelines.

“Duplicate voters are being processed with proper care and after making enquires. Even the names of people who have died have been removed after giving notices to their families,” said GHMC commissioner M Dana Kishore.

Former minister Marri Shashidhar Reddy said “Many voters have been deleted in parts of the city. In every election, there is a steady increase in new enrolments but this year the increase is not as expected”.

The list of voters deleted in each constituency will be released on October 8.
