Stage set for Panchayat elections in MP after a two-year pandemic gap

Going for Panchayat elections is going to be very tough for the ruling BJP

Madhya Pradesh State Election Commission has issued the notification for the two-stage Panchayat elections in the state. Political activities in the state have picked up as candidates start their efforts to gain favour from local party bigwigs and get tickets.

Given that it will be a two-phase election, both candidates and hopeful candidates have already started to make their presence visible. The government departments have also started to make preparations for the forthcoming Panchayat elections.

The elections have not taken place for almost two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. All activities related to the Ward Members have been hanging in an anvil.

Elections to elect 513 Sarpanchs and 7765 Panchs

According to the District Election Branch, elections will be held to elect 513 Sarpanchs and 7765 Panchs across the district of Jabalpur. The elections for Sarpanchs and Panchs for Jabalpur will be conducted in two phases for seven Blocks of Jabalpur.

The first phase of the Panchayat election will be held on January 6. The second phase of the elections will be on January 28. The election timing will be 7 AM to 3 PM.

With the notification of Panchayat elections by the State Election Commission, the moral code of conduct will be enforced by the Commission. No new projects will be declared by the existing government. Of the 516 Gram Panchayats, elections will be held in only 513 Gram Panchayats and 3 blocks namely Bilkharwa, Kudan and Bilha have their tenure till 2022. The elections to these three blocks will be held after March 2022.

There are 7,74,300 voters in Jabalpur District. More than 453 polling booths will be set up for the smooth conclusion of the elections. The first phase of the elections will held in Sehora, Kundam, Panagar, Bargi and the second phase will be held in Majholi, Patan and Shahpura.

Spiralling prices, low procurement of paddy is going to haunt the ruling party

The Panchayat elections in Jabalpur district have largely been fought on local issues. The BJP which always had a strong presence in the Mahakaushal belt is having a tough time.

Spiraling prices, petrol price, poor procurement of paddy and other issues are going to make the return of power of the BJP even more difficult. The Coronavirus pandemic has further augmented the agony of the ruling party with no developmental work in the last two years.

The Congress party is in resurgence and it is possible that the BJP could face one of its worst routs in the Panchayat polls this time.

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal...

" India is an over populous country. " This statement is hardly news to anyone, but very few of us know that the average age of an Indian is just 29 years old. Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society. Today, even this little scope for upliftment gets marred under the evils of Paper leaks and Recruitment scams. The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr...

On July 11th, the Honourable Supreme Court went against the Modi Government's decision by annulling Enforcement Directorate Chief Sanjay Mishra's extension. The Supreme Court bench rendered Sanjay Mishra's tenure extension illegal because it went against their previous verdict.

Gavai held that Mishra could hold on to his office up to July 31st at most, during which the Modi Government must ensure a “smooth transition in the larger public interest."  The previous judgments by the Supreme Court on the matter Back in 2021, the Modi Government had, via the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) Act and the Delhi Special Police Establishment (DSPE) Act, made amendments to the necessary laws to safeguard the extension of the tenure...
