  • Delimitation Commission for Jammu & Kashmir
    20 June, 2021 Delimitation Commission for Jammu & Kashmir What is the news? The Delimitation Commission for the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir has kicked off the exercise by writing to all 20 District Commissioners (DC), seeking basic demographic, topographic information as well as the local administration’s impressions of political aspirations of the district. The Commission was set up in February-March 2020 to delineate Assembly and parliamentary constituencies, and was given a year’s extension last March. It is only after the completion of the delimitation exercise that elections for the Assembly can be held, although District Development Council (DDC) polls were held last year on earlier patterns and based on the 2011 Census. The then State of Jammu and Kashmir was kept out of the delimitation exercise when it was carried out in the rest of country (between 2002-2008), as delimitation of Assembly seats was under the Jammu and Kashmir Constitution and its separate Representation of People Act. After becoming a Union Territory, the Delimitation Commission was constituted and asked to mark out Assembly and Parliament seats. The Commission, headed by Justice (retired) Ranjana Prakash Desai and comprising two other members, had called for a meeting in February 2021, where only two of its five associate members — Union Minister Jitendra Singh and Jugal Kishore Singh, MP — attended. National Conference leaders Dr. Farooq Abdullah and Hasnain Masoodi, MP, and Mohammad Akbar Lone did not attend. The renewed push by the Centre for talks has raised hopes not only of early Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir but also of an eventual restoration of statehood, which was taken away under the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, a reading down of Article 370 of the Constitution.

While the reformists, a powerful constituency, have pushed for gradual reforms by rallying behind leaders like Mohammad Khatami and Hassan Rouhani, the conservatives always pushed back. In this tussle for power, Mr. Raisi has been the popular face of the establishment for years. He had contested the 2017 presidential elections, but lost to Mr. Rouhani, who was seeking a second term. Believed to be close to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Mr. Raisi was appointed the Chief Justice in 2019, which kept him in the top echelons of power till the presidential elections. There were allegations that the June 18 election was rigged in favour of Mr. Raisi even before the first ballot was cast. The Guardian Council, which vets potential candidates, had rejected almost all major reformists, leaving him the only prominent figure on the ballot. This led to opposition activists calling for an election boycott, which seems to have had an impact on the voting the turnout was 48.8%, an all-time low.

  • Poll Rhetoric in J&K Focuses on Threats to Special Status
    VERDICT 2019 Poll Rhetoric in J&K Focuses on Threats to Special Status DAVID DEVADAS A voter reacts to a security personnel as he arrives at a polling station to cast his vote for the first phase of Lok Sabha elections, in Uri, north Kashmir, on April 11, 2019. Photo: PTI / S. Irfan Elections to the six Lok Sabha seats in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) are taking place against the backdrop of the fall of the Mehbooba Mufti-led government after its ally, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), withdrew support to it in June 2018. In the Valley, there is still great anger and resentment, not only against the poor governance provided by that dispensation, but also against the fact that the PDP allied itself with the Hindutva-based BJP. With the BJP's manifesto promising to remove Article 35 A from the Constitution if it is returned to power — a declaration that has become the object of criticism across the political spectrum — people in the Kashmir Valley who had virtually boycotted last year’s local body elections, are taking an unusually high degree of interest in the Lok Sabha polls, that they see as a rehearsal for the Assembly elections. David Devadas journalist and author of several well-regarded books on the politics of J&K, who travelled extensively through the Kashmir Valley recently shares his ringside view of the ever changing politics of the State, and unravels the complexities of electoral battles, constituency by constituency. t is often said that the weather and the mood in Kashmir can change within seconds.
