  • Political News Election
    HTTP://WWW.UPSCPORTAL.COM POLITICAL NEWS ELECTION COMMISSION AT 60 After overseeing 15 general elections to the Lok Sabha, the Election Commission of India, in its diamond jubilee year, can with justifiable pride claim to have nursed and st rengthened the electoral processes of a nascent democracy. The successes have not been consiste nt or uniform, but over the last six decades the ECI managed to make the worlds largest democratic p rocess freer and fairer. One of the instruments of this success is surely the Model Code of C onduct. D esigned to offer a level playing field to all political parties, it has been used to neu tralise many of the inherent advantages of a ruling party in an election. Although the model code wa s originally based on political consensus and does not still enjoy statutory sanction, it served as a handy tool for placing curbs on the abuse of the official machinery for campaigning. While ther e have been complaints of excess in the sometimes mindless application of the model code, th e benefits have generally outweighed the costs. After the Election Commission was made a three-member body, its functioning beca me more institutionalised and more transparent with little room for the caprices of an o verbearing personality. The diamond jubilee is also an occasion for the ECI to look at the challenges ah ead, especially those relating to criminalisation of politics and use of money power in elections. Neither of these issues is new. What is clear is that the efforts of the Commission to t ackle them have generally lacked conviction and have not yielded any significant results.

Farag, 28, dropped a game but had no difficulty in van- quishing Coll 11-8, 6-11, 11-9, 11-9 in 61 minutes to lift his 21st PSA title at the Khalifa In- ternational Tennis & Squash Complex. The triumph also saw Far- ag extend his domination over Coll to 13 matches. When I was younger, I used to watch the Qatar Classic and see all the great names of our sport lifting that trophy and I could only imagine standing there one day. To do it twice is an amazing feeling. Al Farag HE Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al Thani, President, Qatar Olympic Committee and Nasser Al Khelaifi, President of Qatar Tennis, Squash and Badminton Federation, applaud as Ali Farag lifts the Qatar Classic trophy soon after the prize distribution at the Khalifa International Tennis & Squash Complex on Saturday. Just as he went about business, Farag’s retrieval skills and graceful movement around court was breathtak- ing. He picked almost all that Coll could throw at him and counter-attacked superbly.
