Urban Voting Is Low Because Politicians Have Few Middle-Class Promises; Read Here

Sayani ChakrabortyDecember 7, 20220

There were no soft words from the EC. From Shimla to Surat, "urban (voter) indifference persists unabated," it proclaimed on Saturday. The turnout in Shimla was 11% lower than the statewide average of 75.6% in Himachal. The pattern of lower voter turnout in Gujarat's cities compared to the state's rural parts continued in the first round of voting. Urban voter participation in Gujarat's first round was also down from the 2017 average. The city's more affluent residents stayed home during the recent municipal elections. This is an ongoing pattern. A larger proportion of urban residents voted in the first three decades of elections. Inequality in voter participation between urban and rural areas has grown since the 1980s. In India, 60% of GDP and a sizable share of taxes come from urb...

Gujarat Election: BJP Promises To Create Gujarat A $1 Trillion Economy

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 30, 20220

With the long-awaited release of the BJP's election platform, it's time to take a closer look at the poll-promises fight taking place in the Gujarat assembly elections. With promises to create a Uniform Civil Code, a bill to seize the assets of rioters, a deradicalization cell within the police force, and stringent limitations on religious conversion, the manifesto plays to the Hindutva gallery. That's not just empty talk. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has demonstrated that these kinds of promises resonate with a certain subset of Gujarat voters, and neither the Congress nor the occasional Hindutva-lite excursions by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have offered an effective response. Despite BJP's seeming dominance in shaping the terms of public debate across sectors, there is one a...

People Want To Sue Over Morbi Tragedy Can Do So In Gujarat HC: Supreme Court

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 22, 20220

Since a division bench led by the Chief Justice of the Gujarat high court had already taken suo motu note of the incident and issued many directives, the bench stated that it will not be hearing the applications at this time. On Monday, the Supreme Court declined to hear two petitions seeking independent inquiries into the bridge collapse in Morbi, Gujarat, that claimed the lives of more than 140 people. The court cited the fact that the Gujarat high court had already taken suo motu cognisance of the matter. The high court was ordered to keep an eye on the investigation and any other developments relating to it by a bench consisting of Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and Justice Hima Kohli. The bench explained that it would not be hearing the petitions at this time since a division b...

Modi’s Next Weapon To Turn India Into A Dictatorship Is Economic Crimes

Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 29, 20220

Narendra Modi, like Adolf Hitler, wants his party, the Bharatiya Janata Party, to have ultimate power in Indian politics (BJP). To destroy the opposition, his government will use carrot-and-stick techniques. Eight years into Narendra Modi's reign, India's multi-ethnic, multi-religious democracy is under peril. After Modi's BJP won a second term in 2019, the judiciary disintegrated. Justice A. M. Khanwilkar's final two rulings disregarded constitutional rights and the presumption of innocence. Khanwilkar began eroding these safeguards on June 25 when he disdained Zakia Jafri's appeal for justice and pushed the Modi government to prosecute those who assisted her. On July 27, two days before he retired, he dismissed 242 petitions challenging the executive branch's excessive powers to h...

Nation Seeks Clarity From Indian Court Over Court Judgement On Zakia Ahsan Jafri

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 15, 20220

More than 450 pages of "annexures" are included in the Supreme Court of India's ruling in Zakia Ahsan Jafri v State of Gujarat (2022). For those who don't know what they're looking at, it would appear like Narendra Modi and Amit Shah were acquitted after a lengthy trial in which they were charged with crimes against humanity. It's not, unfortunately. It is, ironically, putting together all the facts and evidence to prove that these two political leaders do not need to face any criminal charges. When the Court dismissed the necessity to look into the circumstances behind Judge Brijgopal Harkishan Loya's death, it used the same manoeuvre (Tehseen Poonawalla v Union of India [2018]). In both the Loya and Jafri cases, the petition was to begin an inquiry rather than to reach a conclusion on...

Does SC’s clean chit to Narendra Modi matters?

Adit VarshneyJune 25, 20220

On 24 June, Supreme court rejected the plea against clean chit, given by SIT, to then chief minister of Gujarat 'Narendra Modi' in 2002 godhra riots case. The plea was filed by Zakia Jafri, widow of then Congress MP Ehsan Jafri who were killed in the godhra riots along with other 68 people in what infamously known as 'Gulbarga Society Massacre'. BJP as a party and many of the top leaders of the party are celebrating this as a triumph of truth over false. Home Minister Mr Amit Shah came out in an emotional spree saying that Mr Modi is suffering from last 20 years and rejection of plea against clean chit to Modi by Supreme Court is victory of justice in a true sense. While BJP and its leaders are eyeing to grab this as an opportunity to do a little whitewash for Modi’s anti-muslim image,

Congress Criticizes Narendra Modi, Amit Shah; Calls Gujarat ‘Gateway Of Drugs’

Arpita SarkarMay 28, 20220

The question of whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah's own state of Gujarat is becoming a 'gateway to drugs' has arisen as huge quantities of drugs have been seized from various ports in Gujarat. On Thursday, Central Revenue Intelligence seized 52 kg of cocaine worth Rs 500 crore from Mundra port in Gujarat. Attempts were being made to smuggle the drug in the name of exporting salt from Iran. Earlier in September, 3,000 kg of drugs were seized from the Mundra port run by the Adani group.

Gunjan ChaudharyApril 26, 20220
