  • Report of General Elections to Lok Sabha-2009
    GOVERNMENT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH "ELECTION DEPARTMENT" REPORT ON GENERAL ELECTIONS TO LOK SABHA-2009 HIMACHAL PRADESH PUBLISHED BY : ANIL KHACHI, CHIEF ELECTORAL OFFICER, HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA - 171 009. A Statistical Report on General Election to Lok Sabha, 2009 in Himachal Pradesh PREFACE Democracy is enshrined in our Constitution. The two core principles underlying democracy in India are ‘equality before law and equal access to power’ and certain ‘Freedoms and Liberties’ protected by the Constitution. An Essential process in representative democracies, like India, is competitive but fair elections. Elections in India are not merely a process of voting somebody to run the government; it is more like a festival, a show of jubilation, an opportunity to change or reaffirm faith in the ruling political party, ensuring the importance of the individual in the democracy. The election process in India is extremely elaborate. The physical size of the country, its socio-economic complexity and the sheer numerical strength of the electorate call for a multi-phase election, involving a number of step by step processes, right from the announcement of the election dates by the Election Commission of India, which brings in to force the Model Code of Conduct for the political parties, to the announcement of results and the submission of the list of successful candidates to the President of India paving the way for the formation of a new government. Elections to the 15th Lok Sabha were announced by the Election Commission of India on 2nd March, 2009. People in Himachal Pradesh exercised their franchise in the 5th and last Phase of polling on 13th May, 2009.

  • New Leadership in Himachal Pradesh Ends Dominance of Two Clans
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 New Leadership in Himachal Pradesh Ends Dominance of Two Clans HARISH K THAKUR Harish K Thakur ([email protected]) is with the Department of Political Science, Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla. Vol. 53, Issue No. 12, 24 Mar, 2018 The anti-establishment tradition was kept alive in the Himachal Pradesh state legislative assembly elections in November 2017 as the Bharatiya Janata Party returned to power, banking upon the issues of crime, corruption, and development. Keeping in view the ground reality of the state, the BJP’s Central Election Committee was forced to declare Prem Kumar Dhumal as its chief ministerial candidate and to lead the election campaign. The elections ushered in a new era in the state’s politics by marking an end to the rule of two dominant clans that had led politics in Himachal Pradesh for about four decades. It can be argued whether Western liberal democracy overwhelms all, but elections in the post- Cold War era have certainly become more marginalised. However, the fear expressed by Kofi Annan in 2015 that elections have failed to resolve deep-seated political and social divisions, and hence, have created doubts about the value of democracy through the ballot box, could be perceived in the Indian scenario too. This lends credence to the discourse that the actual intent of the voter sometimes gets lost in the political imperatives of parliamentary democracy. The communication between the electors and the contestants in the electoral process is subject to several factors. While sociological factors like religion, caste, race, language, and region play a significant role, dynamic factors like the issues of development, governance ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 and leadership also influence the process.
