TMC Meets EC Against BJP Demand for Deployment of Central Forces in West Bengal

New Delhi Questioning the BJP demand for deployment of central forces in West Bengal till the Model Code of Conduct is in place, a miffed Trinamool Congress on Tuesday asked the Election Commission “if Emergency has been declared” in the state, sources said.

A delegation of opposition leaders met the EC and demanded verification of VVPAT slips of randomly-selected polling stations before the counting of the votes polled in the just-concluded Lok Sabha election begins on May 23.


TMC’s national spokesperson and Rajya Sabha member Derek O’ Brien raised the issue of the central forces with the EC and demanded that the poll body take action, the sources said. “BJP’s minister announced that central forces will be in Bengal for one week more. Has Emergency been declared by the BJP in Bengal? BJP-RSS members disguised as central forces are torturing citizens. Why special rules for Bengal. This is unacceptable,” O’ Brien was quoted to have told the EC. Addressing a press conference on May 19, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had said that the BJP was concerned that voters were being intimidated and genuine voters were not being allowed to cast their votes.

“To address these issues, BJP demands that the central security forces be deployed in the state till the Model Code of Conduct is in force,” Sitharaman had said.
Sources said that some central forces would have normally stayed in the state till the counting of votes on May 23. The MCC is applicable till May 25.

Kerala Face-saver for Congress Amid Saffron Sweep as Sabrarimala Unrest Brings No Dividends for BJP

With Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) all set to return to power with a massive majority, Kerala has turned out to be the only state which gives solace to Congress president Rahul Gandhi who picked Wayanad as his second seat. As per the trends, Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) is way ahead in all 20 Lok Sabha seats, leaving both the Left and the BJP struggling to keep pace with the grand old party.

Kerala still remains a distant dream for the ruling BJP, which was hopeful of making inroads into the southern state following the Sabarimala unrest. Kerala, which has witnessed a bipolar polity since its formation, saw a triangular fight for the first time as the BJP emerged as a key player, courtesy the Sabarimala unrest.


The BJP was hopeful of defeating Congress heavyweight Shashi Tharoor in Thiruvananthapuram, where they roped in former Mizoram governor Kummanam Rajasekharan. However, the move failed to turn the tide in their favour. The Congress seems to have gained the maximum out of the Sabarimala showdown as the grand old party too had taken a stand in support of the ‘believers’. Pathanamthitta, the epicentre of the Sabarimala protests, also did not stand with the saffron party. Had BJP succeeded in turning the wide support it received post the Sabarimala verdict into votes, K Surendran would’ve been the first BJP Lok Sabha member from the state. Pathanamthitta, where the Lord Ayyappa temple is located and which witnessed volatile protests against the state government’s decision to implement the September 28 verdict permitting women of all age groups into the shrine, recorded 71.39 per cent voting on April 23.

Given that it is a high-stakes battle for all parties, a total of nine sitting MLAs were fielded this time. The ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) has fielded six legislators, while three Congress-led UDF MLAs are in the poll fray.

‘From Caste Lines to Welfare of Poor’: Team NDA Focuses on ‘Revamped’ Strategy for 2nd Term

New Delhi: With less than two days before counting of votes in the Lok Sabha elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended a meeting and dinner hosted by BJP chief Amit Shah for partners of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

Almost all the exit polls have projected that the alliance will achieve a clear majority in the Lok Sabha and will form the government.


The dinner was attended by Bihar Chief Minister and Janata Dal (United) president Nitish Kumar, Shiv Sena supremo Uddhav Thackeray, Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) chief Ram Vilas Paswan among others.


Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said that 36 allies attended the dinner and the three that failed to turn up had pledged their support “in writing”. After the dinner held at the Ashoka Hotel, Singh told reporters that the NDA has vowed to fulfil the aspirations of the people and take the country forward.

“Amit Shah and PM Modi thanked all those who worked hard during the elections,” Singh said. “The PM said that the NDA represents the true soul of India.”

A resolution passed at the meeting termed the Lok Sabha elections decisive and pledged to make a strong, developed and inclusive India by 2022. In his address, Modi stressed on the need to change the narrative from caste lines and orient it for the poor, Singh said.

Singh said the resolution also condemned the violence in West Bengal, which voted in seven phases. Incidents of violence marred each phase of the elections in the eastern state, with three deaths reported. The BJP has blamed the ruling Trinamool Congress in the state of inciting violence.

“We strongly condemn the culture of political violence in West Bengal and Kerala. We are equally concerned with the systematic assault by the opposition on institutions ranging from the CAG (Comptroller and Auditor General), Election Commission and judiciary to the police and armed forces,” the resolution said.

Modi expressed concern over the “needless controversy” created by Opposition parties over the use of electronic voting machines (EVMs), said the resolution.

“We discussed EVMs and the Election Commission… it is worrisome for us that they are being targeted,” said Singh.

Several Opposition leaders have raised questions over EVMs, particularly after a few incidents of EVMs being transported allegedly without any security were reported from Uttar Pradesh. The EC has described these allegations as “baseless and frivolous”. Earlier on Tuesday, leaders of 22 opposition parties also met EC officials and demanded verification of VVPAT slips of randomly-selected polling stations before votes are counted.

The NDA dinner was followed by a meeting in which nearly two dozen allies felicitated Modi with a shawl. Top NDA leaders shared the dais with Modi, who was flanked by Shah on one side and Shiromani Akali Dal’s Parkash Singh Badal on the other. Badal is the senior-most leader of the alliance.

BJP ally and Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan, who proposed the resolution said that Modi had taken all allies together. “We will win more seats than predicted in the exit polls,” Paswan added.

Before the dinner, Modi attended a meeting of the Union council of ministers called by Shah to thank them for “their service to the nation”.

Terming the election “unique”, Modi said the polls were above politics and were being “fought by the people” of the country. Among those who attended were Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari, Smriti Irani, Prakash Javadekar, Radha Mohan Singh, Piyush Goyal, Giriraj Singh, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, Chaudhary Birendra Singh, Uma Bharti as well as Shiromani Akali Dal’s Harsimrat Kaur Badal and Paswan. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley was not present at the meeting.

Modi meets bureaucrats

The Prime Minister on Tuesday night held a meeting with top bureaucrats from key ministries, sources said. There was no official word about the agenda of the meeting, which comes ahead of the Lok Sabha election results on May 23.

Sources said the Prime Minister is believed to have taken feedback on various issues, including about the state of the economy, from the bureaucrats. The government has already asked all the ministries and departments to prepare their 100-day agenda, they added.

BJP Heads for a Clean Sweep in Uttarakhand, Ajay Bhatt Set to Defeat Congress’ Harish Rawat in Nainital

Uttarakhand Lok Sabha Election Results 2019: In Uttarakhand, the Bharatiya Janata Party is going for a clean sweep as its main player Ajay Bhatt takes on former chief minister and Congress leader Harish Rawat in Nainital. Leading on all five seats, BJP will retain its dominance in the state as the Lok Sabha Election Results 2019 pour in.

Taking massive leads, BJP’s Tirath Singh Rawat in Garhwal, Ajay Tamta in Almora and Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank in Hardwar are set to win from their respective constituencies.


Despite initial trends showing a close contest in Tehri Garhwal, BJP’s Mala Rajya Laxmi Shah has taken a major lead over Congress’s Pritam Singh. The two national parties—the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress—have been the traditional rivals in the region since Uttarakhand was carved out of Uttar Pradesh in 2000. Follow all the live updates of Lok Sabha Election results here: 

Here are the top ten developments from the state:

1) The saffron party, led by Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat, put up a strong fight against Congress, which has on and off dominated the seen in the state. The key candidates were Congress leader and former Chief Minister Harish Rawat and BJP state chief Ajay Bhatt contesting from Nainital.

2) With Bhatt being a new face in Nainital, Trivendra Rawat was campaigning vigorously for him, while he also went on a whirlwind of tour across the state. This ‘battle of CMs’ made Nainital one of the most keenly observed seat in these General Assembly elections.

3) The News18-IPSOS exit poll predicted that the BJP is set to win 4 out of the 5 Lok Sabha constituencies in Uttarakhand. In 2014, the BJP had swept the general elections, winning all five seats. Prior to this, in 2009, Congress had achieved the same feat. The grand old party will now be fighting to regain its old glory.

4) A voter turnout of 61.50 % was recorded in Uttarakhand which went to polls in the first phase of Lok Sabha elections 2019. The state had registered 60.7 % voting in 2014 general elections. With a vote share of 55.65%, the BJP had swept the state.

5) It’s a first for Congress’ Harish Rawat in Nainital-Udhamsingh Nagar constituency. The ‘poster boy’ of Congress, Rawat, has fought and won polls from Almora and Haridwar before. He has been a five-time MP and was the minister of water resources in the cabinet of Manmohan Singh during 2012-2014.

6) Nainital is considered a prestigious seat as it was previously held by former?defence minister KC Pant and former Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand CM, the late ND Tiwari.

7) BJP stalwart Bhagat Singh Koshyari, who was outed of the poll race this year, has been a known face in Nainital for years and is also the sitting MP.

8) Among other major players are BJP leader BC Khanduri’s son Manish from Pauri Garhwal. He is faced with Khanduri’s disciple Tirath Singh Rawat. Tirath was elevated to the post of state president in 2013 due to the “blessings of his political guru” BC Khanduri.

9) The Tehri constituency will also witness a tough battle between Uttarakhand Congress chief Pritam Singh and BJP’s sitting MP Mala Rajya Laxmi Shah. Singh is credited with winning the Chakrata seat despite his party faring poorly in the last assembly election. Though a sitting MP from the Tehri royal family which has a strong political hold in the constituency, Shah faces the challenge of overcoming an anti-incumbency factor and taking on a strong opponent in Singh.

10) This time, the key issues in the hill state were the man-animal conflict, migration and weakening agricultural practices, unemployment and job crisis, lack of drinking water supply and poor road connectivity. Surprisingly, the pitch to make Gairsain the state capital was missing from the discourse this time, though it was hotly debated during the assembly polls.

Bihar, too, was standing with the NDA as the BJP-Janata Dal United-Lok Janshakti Party alliance leading in 37 out the 40 Lok Sabha seats in the state.

Madras High Court Junks Plea for Recounting of Votes in Case of VVPAT-EVM Mismatch

Chennai The Madras High Court Wednesday refused to entertain a petition seeking recounting of votes if they do not tally with VVPAT slips and pulled up the petitioner for moving the plea at the eleventh hour.

A vacation bench comprising Justice RMT Teekaa Raaman and Justice P D Audikesavalu asked why the petitioner did not move the court immediately after the Lok Sabha elections were over.


Noting that the petitioner, Lakshmi Krupa, has approached the court last minute, the bench refused to hear it. The votes polled in the seven-phase Lok Sabha elections are set to be counted Thursday. Earlier, advocate Swaroop, appearing for Krupa, cited the Election Commission’s announcement based on the Supreme Court order.

He said random matching of the VVPATs (Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail) would be done in five booths in every assembly segment. However, there were many discrepancies and no provisions were available under the statute to match VVPATs with the EVMs, he contended.

He sought a direction to the EC for recounting in the constituency if there was a mismatch.

Lok Sabha Elections 2019: BJP Leads Inner Manipur While NDPP Dominates Outer Manipur

Dr Rajkumar Ranjan Singh from BJP still leads in Inner Manipur. Meanwhile, NPP’s Lorho S Pfoze leads in Outer Manipur.

A few minutes into the counting, Houlim Shokopao Mate from BJP is leading in the Outer Manipur constituency.


Preparations for the counting commenced a day before in the state.

The fate of seven candidates contesting for two Lok Sabha seats in Manipur will be decided in the next 24 hours as the counting for the 2019 General Election has begun at 8 am. This year’s polling was off with a rocky start after re-polling of 19 booths were put into action in the Outer Manipur. Following alleged discrepancies, Indian National Congress and Communist Party of India demanded re-polling of 19 booths but were denied.

The two phases of voting took place in Manipur on April 11 and April 18, 2019.  Looking at the past five Lok Sabha elections, in the Inner Manipur Constituency, the CPI finished as the runner up consecutively in the past three elections. The lowest margin was 11.85% in 2004 and the largest, 32.41% in 2014. Whereas, for Outer Manipur, the CPI won once in 1998 with a margin of 0.78% and hasn’t featured as a runner up.

Here are 10 facts about Manipur you need to know before the results:

Major candidates contesting for Inner Manipur are Houlim Shokhopao Mate from BJP, Oinam Nabakishore Singh from INC, Hangkhanpau Taithul from JD(U) and Moirangthem Nara Singh from CPI(M).
Key candidates for Outer Manipur include Shri H Shokhopao Mate (Benjamin) from BJP, K. James from INC and Angam Karung Kom from NCP.
The total number of voters in Manipur were 19,50,288.
Out of the total number of voters, 9,58,697 are male, 9,91,565 female and 26 voters of the Third Gender.
Manipur sends a total of two representatives to the Lok Sabha.
For the 2019 elections, Manipur entered the history books, for being the first state in the country to introduce all-women polling booths in an entire assembly constituency. While such booths have been set up in other places too, Manipur took the cake by having an entire assembly segment managed completely by women poll officers.
The state showed 78.2 per cent voter turn up which in the first phase and an aggregate of more than 80 per cent as the second phase concluded.
Both the Lok Sabha seats in Manipur are currently held by the Congress. Whereas, the State Government is a coalition of the BJP, NPP, Naga Peoples Front (NPF) Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) and an Independent.
The Naga People’s Front (NPF) has alleged that the BJP has registered a first information report (FIR) under a fictitious name of Lucky Riha alleging that the NSCN(IM) has been intimidating voters to vote for the NPF.
Since the last two terms in 2009 and 2014, the Indian National Congress has won both the seats in the state.

Why Rahul Gandhi Chose to Contest from Wayanad in Kerala Despite all the Criticisms

Congress president Rahul Gandhi, who decided to contest from Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency in Kerala besides his traditional stronghold of Amethi in Uttar Pradesh, is leading from Wayanad.

While Gandhi was elected to the Parliament from his traditional Amethi seat for three terms in a row, this Lok Sabha election, he took the advice of his party workers and chose to contest from Wayanad in Kerala in addition to his stronghold. But it didn’t come without criticism. The Congress president’s decision was followed by accusations that he was running away, scared that BJP’s Smriti Irani, who came a bit too close for comfort in 2014 Lok Sabha polls, might just defeat him this time. Prime Minister Narendra Modi even raised a few eyebrows when he said in a rally that Gandhi was running away from a seat with majority Hindu population to one where Hindus were a minority. Gandhi’s candidature from Wayanad had also caused cracks in the Congress-Left relationship.


In fact, Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan had said that Gandhi’s contest in Wayanad in the state could only be seen as a move to fight the Left parties and not the BJP. So why did Rahul decide to contest from here despite all the criticisms? First, it could have been a safe bet. Since the Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency was formed in 2009, it has elected a Congress leader in both 2009 and 2014 general elections. It also has a majority Muslim population, a community that is a traditional voter base for the grand old party. Muslims form nearly 27 percent of the state’s population of about 33.4 million, and Christians roughly 18 percent, census figures show.

Second, the BJP has been trying build its presence in South India, especially Kerala, where the Congress and a communist party are the main players. Gandhi decided to take this opportunity to galvanise party workers through his candidacy. The BJP has been making steady inroads into the electoral politics in the state, eating into the vote share of both the UDF and the LDF. The entry of a third player invariably creates tensions.

Third, to stop Modi. “I am here to send a message that south India is important,” he told reporters as thousands of party members lined the streets of the small town in welcome when he first attended a rally in Wayanad. “There is a feeling in south India that the way the government, RSS and Narendra Modi are working… many people in the country feel that their culture, language and history are under attack,” Gandhi had said.

Fourth was the Sabarimala issue. The BJPbecame the self-proclaimed voice of the Hindu devotees, organising large public demonstrations and campaigns to oppose the government following the Sabarimala verdict. With this, the Congress in Kerala was on a somewhat slippery slope. Rahul Gandhi’s announcement to contest from Wayanad somewhat changed the sentiment of how the Congress party is seen in the state.

It’s going to be a tight race in Kerala.

PM Modi Says Lok Sabha Polls 2019 Were Beyond Politics, Likens Campaign to Pilgrimage

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday likened his campaign for this Lok Sabha election to a pilgrimage, saying it stood out from other polls as it was being fought by the people and not the party alone.

He made these remarks at a meeting of ministers of his government at the BJP headquarters where he thanked them for their work, Union minister Narendra Singh Tomar told reporters.


“I have seen many elections but this one was beyond politics. Public was fighting them. I have campaigned in assembly elections and undertaken political tours for the party in different elections. When I toured during these polls, it seemed that I was on a pilgrimage,” the prime minister was quoted as saying. He met Union ministers from the BJP as well as allies at the meeting- called ‘Aabhar milan’ (expressing gratitude)- hosted by party president Amit Shah. Shah also later hosted a dinner for party leaders and allies.

The BJP described the meeting as an occasion to thank ministers for “their service to the nation” ahead of the counting of votes for the Lok Sabha election on May 23, following which a new government will assume charge.

Later in a tweet, Shah said, “I congratulate Team Modi Sarkar for their hard work and remarkable achievements in the last 5 years. Let us keep this momentum going for a New India under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi.”

Union ministers Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari, Arun Jaitley, J P Nadda and Prakash Javadekar were among the key leaders from the BJP at the meeting.

Some ministers from BJP allies, including Ram Vilas Paswan of the Lok Janshakti Party, Harsimrat Kaur Badal from the Akali Dal and Anupriya Patel of the Apna Dal, also attended the meeting.

In the dinner meet, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, JD(U) president and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, besides other allies were present.

The saffron camp has expressed confidence that the NDA will emerge victorious, with the exit polls too forecasting a return of the Modi government.
