Chapter 43 Electoral Statistics
CHAPTER 43 ELECTORAL STATISTICS 43.1 India is a constitutional democracy with a parliamentary system of government, and at the heart of the system is a commitment to hold regular, free and fair elections. These elections determine the composition of the Government, the membership of the two houses of parliament, the state and union territory legislative assemblies, and the Presidency and vice-presidency. Elections are conducted according to the constitutional provisions, supplemented by laws made by Parliament. The major laws are Representation of the People Act, 1950, which mainly deals with the preparation and revision of electoral rolls, the Representation of the People Act, 1951 which deals, in detail, with all aspects of conduct of elections and post election disputes. 43.2 The Election Commission of India is an autonomous, quasi-judiciary constitutional body of India. Its mission is to conduct free and fair elections in India. It was established on 25 January, 1950 under Article 324 of the Constitution of India. Since establishment of Election Commission of India, free and fair elections have been held at regular intervals as per the principles enshrined in the Constitution, Electoral Laws and System. The Constitution of India has vested in the Election Commission of India the superintendence, direction and control of the entire process for conduct of elections to Parliament and Legislature of every State and to the offices of President and Vice- President of India. The Election Commission is headed by the Chief Election Commissioner and other Election Commissioners. There was just one Chief Election Commissioner till October, 1989.

LOK SABHA ______ SYNOPSIS OF DEBATES (Proceedings other than Questions & Answers) ______ Tuesday, March 17, 2015 / Phalguna 26, 1936 (Saka) ______ CALLING ATTENTION Re: Situation arising due to use of harmful pesticides, especially endosulfan in the country and their adverse impact on human life SHRI P. KARUNAKARAN called the attention of the Minister of Agriculture to the situation arising due to use of harmful pesticides, especially endosulfan in the country and their adverse impact on human life. THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE (DR. SANJEEV BALYAN): Pesticides play an important role in sustaining agricultural production in the country by protecting crops from pests and diseases. Availability of safe and efficacious pesticides and their judicious use by the farming community is critical to a sustained increase in agricultural production and productivity. Pesticides are also useful in health programmes for controlling vectors responsible for diseases like malaria. However, pesticides have toxic properties and need a well ordered system of management and regulation which encompasses all important stages in the life-cycle of pesticides, i.e., from import or production to sale and disposal. The existing legislation for regulation of pesticides is the Insecticides Act, 1968. This Act regulates the import, manufacture, sale, transport, distribution and use of insecticides with a view to prevent risks to human beings or animals, and for matters connected therewith. Pesticides are registered under the provisions of the Insecticides Act, 1968 after a thorough technical evaluation of safety to human animal and environmental health. Pesticides are not likely to cause adverse effect on human health, flora and fauna, provided the usage is in accordance with the manner prescribed in the labels and leaflets approved by the Registration Committee. -

Report on International Religious Freedom 2006: India
India Page 1 of 22 India International Religious Freedom Report 2006 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor The constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the Government generally respected this right in practice. However, the Government sometimes did not act swiftly enough to counter effectively societal attacks against religious minorities and attempts by some leaders of state and local governments to limit religious freedom. This resulted in part from legal constraints on national government action inherent in the country's federal structure and from shortcomings in its law enforcement and justice systems, although courts regularly upheld the constitutional provision of religious freedom. Despite Government efforts to foster communal harmony, some extremists continued to view ineffective investigation and prosecution of attacks on religious minorities, particularly at the state and local level, as a signal that they could commit such violence with impunity, although numerous cases were in the courts at the end of the reporting period. While the National Government took positive steps in key areas to improve religious freedom, the status of religious freedom generally remained the same during the period covered by this report. The United Progressive Alliance (UPA) continued to implement an inclusive and secular platform based on respect for the country's traditions of secular government and religious tolerance, and the rights of religious minorities. Terrorists attempted to provoke religious conflict by attacking Hindu Temples in Ayodhya and Varanasi. The Government reacted in a swift manner to rein in Hindu extremists, prevent revenge attacks and reprisal, and assure the Muslim community of its safety. -

Lok Sabha’ Were Adopted by the Council of States and the House of People Respectively
Parliament - By Jatin Verma Parliament - The Parliament is the legislative organ of the Union government - It occupies a central position in the Indian democratic political system - It has ‘Westminster’ model of govt. ● Articles 79 to 122 in Part V of the Constitution deal with the powers, duration, officers, organisation, privileges, composition, procedures, etc. of the Parliament. Organisation of Parliament ● The Parliament consists of 3 parts viz, the President, the Council of States and the House of the People. ● In 1954, the Hindi names ‘Rajya Sabha’ and ‘Lok Sabha’ were adopted by the Council of States and the House of People respectively. - Rajya Sabha is the Upper House (2nd Chamber or House of Elders which represents the states and UTs). - Lok Sabha is the Lower House (1st Chamber or Popular House, which represents the people of India as a whole). © Jatin Verma 2017-18. All Rights Reserved Parliament ● President is an integral part of the Parliament, because: - A bill cannot become law without the his assent. - He summons and prorogues both the Houses - He can dissolve the Lok Sabha - He addresses both the Houses - He issues ordinances when they are not in session, etc. ● In Britain, the Parliament consists of the Crown (King or Queen), the House of Lords (Upper House) and the House of Commons (Lower House). ● By contrast, in USA, the legislature, which is known as Congress, consists of the Senate (Upper House) and the House of Representatives (Lower House). ● India has the ‘President-in-Parliament’ like the ‘Crown-in-Parliament’ in Britain. ● The presidential form of government, lays stress on the separation of legislative and executive organs. -
Speaker: Roles and Responsibility: RSTV – in Depth
Speaker: Roles and Responsibility: RSTV – In Depth What’s in the news? Members of the 17th Lok Sabha have taken oath. The House will now elect its Speaker on 19th June, 2019. The NDA has named two-time BJP MP Om Birla as its nominee for the post. Birla, who won from the Kota-Bundi parliamentary seat in Rajasthan, will easily become the speaker as the National Democratic Alliance has a clear majority in the lower house. This edition of ‘In Depth’ will look at the election process, role and responsibilities of the Speaker. It will also look at the powers vested in the Lok Sabha speaker, who is the highest authority in the House and also the custodian of the Parliament building. Analysis: If elected, Om Birla will succeed 8 time MP, Sumitra Mahajan, as the presiding officer of the Lok Sabha. Birla’s name was proposed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and seconded by Home Minister Amit Shah, and Defence Minister, Rajnath Singh. The BJP has given a notice to the Lok Sabha secretariat, proposing Birla for the post and bringing a motion for his election. The resolution to support Birla’s candidature was passed by the Biju Janata Dal (BJD), and was supported by NDA allies, including the National People’s Party, Shiv Sena, Mizo National Front, Lok Jan Shakti Party, YSRCP, JDU, AIADMK, and Apna Dal. The elections for the post is scheduled for June, 19th, 2019. Note on Om Birla: Om Birla has been an MLA in Rajasthan thrice and an MP twice. Birla is a commerce post graduate, educated at the Government Commerce College, Kota. -
