  • Knowlaw Journal
    KnowLaw Journal Socio-Legal and Contemporary Research A Publication of KnowLaw Volume 01 Issue 01 KnowLaw Post Poll Alliance – An Analysis. C. Amirdha Varshini1 & S. Abhijeet Krishna2 Abstract Post poll alliances are those that are formed between parties after the election results when none of the parties which participated in the election wins a clear majority. It is considered to be one of the options before the head of the state while deciding as to whom he should invite and administer oath of office in case of a hung assembly. We have referred to some articles tracing back the events of post poll alliances that were formed in India in the past years. As citizens of India, it is very crucial to know why such alliances are formed. We should also be able to discern for ourselves, whether they are a boon or a bane for the welfare of our nation by examining their pros and cons. We would like to present a paper which not only deals with some major instances of post-poll alliance but also with some other aspects related to them. Our paper will throw light on the nature of post-poll alliances and will answer the related questions such as the difference between pre-poll and post-poll alliances, why and under which circumstances they are formed, the major instances of post poll-alliances that were formed in our country and whether post-poll alliances are constitutional. Introduction Election is the heart of every democracy. Laws are required to govern the process of election. The Parliament of India is empowered to make laws to regulate the electoral process under Part XV of the Constitution (Articles 324 – 329).3 The body which is responsible for conducting elections in India is the Election Commission of India.

  • Mopa Airport Woes
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Mopa Airport Woes Debating the Proposed Airport in North Goa KENNETH BO NIELSEN Vol. 50, Issue No. 25, 20 Jun, 2015 Kenneth Bo Nielsen ([email protected]) is a postdoctoral research fellow, University of Bregen, Norway. A proposed new airport in North Goa has brought to the fore the old North Goa–South Goa feud. With the current Bharatiya Janata Party government determined to make the project a success, they could ride roughshod over concerns, environmental as well as political. If the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led state government has its way, Goa will have a new operational international airport in five years from now. The proposed airport will be located on the Mopa plateau in Pernem taluka in North Goa, near the Maharashtra border. But although the project is backed by strong political and commercial interests, it has encountered stiff opposition from other quarters. This commentary examines how the proposed Mopa airport has polarised public opinion in India’s smallest state. From Dabolim to Mopa The only airport in Goa today is the centrally-located Dabolim international airport. Dabolim was built by the Portuguese as a civilian airport in 1955—the Portuguese military air force never had a presence in Goa—but only months after the Indian Army had liberated Goa in December 1961, the airport was taken over by the Indian Navy’s air wing (Pais 2014: 217). Dabolim airport today is thus in effect a civilian enclave within a military airbase. The Indian Navy has shown no interest in relocating its base in Dabolim elsewhere, and has generally proven reluctant to relinquish more land for the expansion of civilian operations, even when a new, integrated terminal building was inaugurated in 2013.
