  • Many Coalitions Such As 1967, 1977 Etc. and All These Coalitions Were Unsuccessful Due to Factions in the Party
    many coalitions such as 1967, 1977 etc. and all these coalitions were unsuccessful due to factions in the party. After 10-12 year of militancy Punjab politics changed, after 1992 there was stable governments of Akali-BJP 1997, Congress - 2002 etc. The role of Akali Dal in re-organisation of state is important. Akali Dal made such demands which were against the Indian constitution. The party passed Anandpur Sahib Resolution which set the path for the other regional parties for the demand of greater power within the Union. Akalis and Congress rivalry resulted in polical instability in Punjab. Another point which is proved by the above discussion is that the Dal was always against the Centre or the Congress. The Akalis always have had alliance with the party having its base in Hindu community. There were some tensions between the both partners but they do not have any other option to keep Congress out of power. STATE POLITICS OF HIMACHAL PRADESH Himachal, known as 'Dev Bhumi' in the ancient times is situated in the heart of the Western Himalayas. The word 'Himachal' derives its origin from two Hindi words, 'Him' and 'Anchal' meaning 'snow' and 'lap' respectively. Etymologically, it stands for the region which lies in the slopes and foothills of snow (Sharda 2010, pp.48-62). To its north lies the state of Jammu and Kashmir, Uttaranchal. Uttar Pradesh in the South East, Haryana to the south and Punjab in the west, whereas on the east it forms India's border with Tibet. At the time of its birth on IS''' April 1948 as a part 'C state of the Indian union Himachal Pradesh consisted of about 30 princely states was totally undemocratic, the society was highly feudal and the economy was extremely primitive, almost tribal.

  • Report of General Elections to Lok Sabha-2009
    GOVERNMENT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH "ELECTION DEPARTMENT" REPORT ON GENERAL ELECTIONS TO LOK SABHA-2009 HIMACHAL PRADESH PUBLISHED BY : ANIL KHACHI, CHIEF ELECTORAL OFFICER, HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA - 171 009. A Statistical Report on General Election to Lok Sabha, 2009 in Himachal Pradesh PREFACE Democracy is enshrined in our Constitution. The two core principles underlying democracy in India are ‘equality before law and equal access to power’ and certain ‘Freedoms and Liberties’ protected by the Constitution. An Essential process in representative democracies, like India, is competitive but fair elections. Elections in India are not merely a process of voting somebody to run the government; it is more like a festival, a show of jubilation, an opportunity to change or reaffirm faith in the ruling political party, ensuring the importance of the individual in the democracy. The election process in India is extremely elaborate. The physical size of the country, its socio-economic complexity and the sheer numerical strength of the electorate call for a multi-phase election, involving a number of step by step processes, right from the announcement of the election dates by the Election Commission of India, which brings in to force the Model Code of Conduct for the political parties, to the announcement of results and the submission of the list of successful candidates to the President of India paving the way for the formation of a new government. Elections to the 15th Lok Sabha were announced by the Election Commission of India on 2nd March, 2009. People in Himachal Pradesh exercised their franchise in the 5th and last Phase of polling on 13th May, 2009.
