  • Brief Proceedings of the Interactive Session with Shri Om Prakash
    Brief Proceedings of the Interactive Session with Shri Om Prakash Rawat, Hon’ble Chief Election Commissioner, Election Commission of India on ’Electoral Integrity and Role of Money in Elections’ held on 2 June 2018 at the Conference Hall of MCCI. MCCI organised an Interactive Session with Shri Om Prakash Rawat, Hon’ble Chief Election Commissioner, Election Commission of India on ’Electoral Integrity and Role of Money in Elections’ at the Chamber premises on 2 June 2018. Shri Aariz Aftab, Hon’ble Chief Electoral Officer, West Bengal Home Department, Election Branch was also present and spoke on the occasion. Shri Vishal Jhajharia, Senior Vice President, MCCI in his welcome address enquired if the ‘election contest’ can be limited to fewer political parties for Lok Sabha and State Assembly elections. Also is it possible to prescribe minimum academic qualifications and age-limits of candidates for both Parliament and the State Assemblies? The EC issues a ‘Model Code of Conduct’ for political parties and candidates to follow strictly so that elections are held in a free and fair manner. But despite acceptance of the ‘Code of Conduct’ by all political parties, cases of violations have been on the rise. It is a general complaint that the party in power misuses the official machinery to further its electoral prospects. The vulgar show of money during elections is no less a serious issue. Another serious problem in India is the criminalisation of politics. Persons with criminal background continue to hold seats in the Parliament and State Assemblies. As per information available, about one-third of all winners in 16th Lok Sabha had at least one pending criminal case against them, with some having serious criminal cases.
