MAX Security Report Intel@Max-Security.Com +44 203 540 0434 MAX Security Report [email protected] +44 203 540 0434 Protest India Tactical: Opposition parties to hold 15 statewide strike across Andhra Pradesh on APR April 16; maintain vigilance 11:28 UTC Please be advised • Opposition parties in Andhra Pradesh will reportedly hold a day-long strike across the state on April 16 to protest the central government’s denial of a special status. The YSR Congress Party, Jana Sena, and Left parties have backed the strike. Apart from emergency services, all private and public establishments are expected to be shut down. • The ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has not expressed support for the strike but has been a key campaigner against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government over the special status category issue in recent months. Parties in Andhra Pradesh have been petitioning the government allot Andhra Pradesh with a special status in order to increase funding to the state. page 1 / 2 Assessments 1. The strike on April 16 is liable to witness statewide implementation due to the broad-based support that the issue has drawn across the political spectrum. Despite the absence of explicit support from the TDP, the ruling party in the state is unlikely to prevent the strike’s implementation as it will not want to be perceived as going against Andhra interests. Businesses that remain open, or vehicles plying on major roads in the state are liable to targeted by pro-Andhra activists over the course of the day. 2. Outside of Andhra Pradesh, there is a likelihood that the strike’s impact may spill over into neighboring Telangana, as protesters from these political groups may seek to block roads leading to Hyderabad. Small-scale rallies by groups such as Jana Sena in Hyderabad, the former official capital of Andhra Pradesh, are also likely to occur. Meanwhile, there is a distinct possibility that these parties may also organize protests in Delhi to highlight their cause with the BJP government. In both Delhi and Hyderabad, local police are unlikely to be sympathetic to the cause and may arrest protesters, leading to localized unrest at such events. Recommendations 1. Those operating or residing in Andhra Pradesh on April 16 are advised to maintain vigilance due to the slated strike, while limiting outdoor movement on the day. 2. We advise to avoid the vicinity of all political rallies in Hyderabad and Delhi associated with the special status cause due to the risk of unrest and police action. page 2 / 2 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

  • Gram Panchayat Elections in Andhra Pradesh State,2021--An Over View
    © 2021 JETIR March 2021, Volume 8, Issue 3 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Gram Panchayat Elections in Andhra Pradesh State,2021--An Over View *Dr. B. Rajendra Prasad, Dept. of Political Science, Maris Stella College for Women (A), Vijayawada ABSTRACT “Local self-governments must be the basis of any true system of democracy. We have got rather into the habit of thinking of democracy at the top and not so much below. Democracy at the top will not be a success unless it is built on the foundations from below”.---- Jawaharlal Nehru. The success of a democratic system largely depends upon the existence and efficient operation of a system of Local Self-Governments at the grassroot levels. The democratic and ideals of Decentralisation, development and increased continuous and active popular participation of in the process of nation building can be possible only through the organisation and efficient working system of local government. In fact, each part of India whether Rural or Urban is being locally administered for the satisfaction of local needs by a local government. The makers our constitution were fully aware of the imperative necessity of organising a system of local self- government at the grassroot level and using it as a solid foundation for ensuring the stability, strength and health of the Indian liberal democratic political system. The 4th ordinary elections to Gram Panchayats were held in July 2013. In this connection I would like to present the Fifth Gram Panchayat Elections results , percentage of polling, mandate of the voters of elections conducted in Andhra Pradesh State in the month of February ,2021 for the satisfaction of local needs by a local self-governments in spite of many disputes levelled between State Election Commission and State Government to conduct these elections.

  • Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014
    WID.world WORKING PAPER N° 2019/05 Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014 Abhijit Banerjee Amory Gethin Thomas Piketty March 2019 Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Electorates, 1962-2014 Abhijit Banerjee, Amory Gethin, Thomas Piketty* January 16, 2019 Abstract This paper combines surveys, election results and social spending data to document the long-run evolution of political cleavages in India. From a dominant- party system featuring the Indian National Congress as the main actor of the mediation of political conflicts, Indian politics have gradually come to include a number of smaller regionalist parties and, more recently, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). These changes coincide with the rise of religious divisions and the persistence of strong caste-based cleavages, while education, income and occupation play little role (controlling for caste) in determining voters’ choices. We find no evidence that India’s new party system has been associated with changes in social policy. While BJP-led states are generally characterized by a smaller social sector, switching to a party representing upper castes or upper classes has no significant effect on social spending. We interpret this as evidence that voters seem to be less driven by straightforward economic interests than by sectarian interests and cultural priorities. In India, as in many Western democracies, political conflicts have become increasingly focused on identity and religious-ethnic conflicts

  • Friends with Benefits: on AP's 'Special Category' Status
    www.thehindu.com 2018-03-09 Friends with benefits: on AP's 'special category' status In politics, there is nothing such as friendship without benefits. Ever since it became clear that the Centre was unable to grant Andhra Pradesh “special category” status, the Telugu Desam Party was under pressure to break off ties with the Bharatiya Janata Party and make a public show of its protest. With the main opposition in the State, the YSR Congress Party, taking a belligerent stance on the issue, the TDP could not afford to give the impression that it continued to be a part of the government at the Centre without being able to wrest benefits for A.P. But even as he withdrew his ministers from the Central government, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu stopped short of leading his party out of the National Democratic Alliance headed by the BJP. The exit, when it happens, will be after another display of disaffection with the Centre’s attitude towards A.P. Clearly, the TDP is keen to demonstrate that it did everything possible in the interest of this fledgling State before walking out of the NDA. Although Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley clarified that it was no longer possible to confer “special category” status on States after the Centre accepted the recommendation of the 14th Finance Commission, Mr. Naidu appears to blame the Centre’s reluctance on its majority in the Lok Sabha and the resulting lack of dependence on allied parties. In short, in the eyes of the TDP, the denial of special status is a political decision, deserving of a political response.

Nazki, Mr. Gowtham Polanki, Mr. Amitabh Sinha & Mr.Shrey Sharma, Advocates for R-2. % CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE PRATEEK JALAN JUDGMENT 1. By way of this petition under Article 226 of the Constitution, the petitioner seeks a direction upon the Respondent No. 1-Election Commission of India [“ECI”] to withdraw the registration of Respondent No. 2 herein, viz. “Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress W.P.(C) 4124/2020 Page 1 of 18 Party”, as a political party, and also to withdraw its status as a recognised State party. Facts 2. The petitioner and Respondent No. 2 are both political parties, registered under Section 29A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951 [“the Act”]. The petitioner’s name is “Anna YSR Congress Party”. It contends that Respondent No. 2, registered as “Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party”, is using an abbreviated form of its registered name, viz. “YSR Congress Party”, which is deceptively similar to the petitioner’s name. According to the petitioner, such use by Respondent No. 2 is contrary to directions of the ECI, and Respondent No. 2 is consequently liable to withdrawal of its registration, and its status as a “recognised political party”.
