  • Knowlaw Journal
    KnowLaw Journal Socio-Legal and Contemporary Research A Publication of KnowLaw Volume 01 Issue 01 KnowLaw Post Poll Alliance – An Analysis. C. Amirdha Varshini1 & S. Abhijeet Krishna2 Abstract Post poll alliances are those that are formed between parties after the election results when none of the parties which participated in the election wins a clear majority. It is considered to be one of the options before the head of the state while deciding as to whom he should invite and administer oath of office in case of a hung assembly. We have referred to some articles tracing back the events of post poll alliances that were formed in India in the past years. As citizens of India, it is very crucial to know why such alliances are formed. We should also be able to discern for ourselves, whether they are a boon or a bane for the welfare of our nation by examining their pros and cons. We would like to present a paper which not only deals with some major instances of post-poll alliance but also with some other aspects related to them. Our paper will throw light on the nature of post-poll alliances and will answer the related questions such as the difference between pre-poll and post-poll alliances, why and under which circumstances they are formed, the major instances of post poll-alliances that were formed in our country and whether post-poll alliances are constitutional. Introduction Election is the heart of every democracy. Laws are required to govern the process of election. The Parliament of India is empowered to make laws to regulate the electoral process under Part XV of the Constitution (Articles 324 – 329).3 The body which is responsible for conducting elections in India is the Election Commission of India.

  • Jharkhand Central Railway Limited: [ICRA]BBB+ (Stable) Assigned
    December 03, 2020 Jharkhand Central Railway Limited: [ICRA]BBB+ (Stable) assigned Summary of rating action Current Rated Amount Instrument* Rating Action (Rs. crore) Proposed Term Loans 1,259.75 [ICRA]BBB+ (Stable); Assigned Total 1,259.75 *Instrument details are provided in Annexure-1 Rationale The rating assignment factors in Jharkhand Central Railway Limited’s (JCRL’s) long-term concession agreement with the Ministry of Railways (MoR), which provides earnings visibility to its upcoming railway project, and the approval to charge an inflated mileage from users, which would make the project’s return indicators attractive. ICRA notes that Central Coalfields Limited (CCL, JCRL’s parent, owning 64%1 of the shareholding) plans to significantly ramp-up coal production in the North Karanpura coalfield over the medium term, which, along with shorter lead distances, faster rake turn-around times, and lower trip costs following the commissioning of JCRL’s railway line, partly mitigates the traffic fluctuation risk. Moreover, given the strategic importance of the rail corridor to CCL's expansion plans, the operational synergies between CCL and JCRL remains high, which supports JCRL’s business risk profile. In addition, JCRL’s credit profile benefits from the strong financial profile of its parent CCL, as well as IRCON International Limited (IRCON), which has a target shareholding of 26% in JCRL. JCRL’s rating also factors in the fixed revenue share clause with MoR for providing reserve services, which partly mitigates risks associated with inadequate increase in freight rates to cover for rising operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. The rating, however, is tempered by JCRL’s exposure to high project implementation risks, leading to risks of time and cost over-runs, and the company’s sizeable dependence on external borrowings, which is likely to lead to modest debt coverage metrics during the initial years post commissioning.

In 1947, the country commenced its long march to overcome the colonial legacy of economic underdevelopment, gross poverty, near-total illiteracy, wide prevalence of diseases, and stark social inequality and injustice. Achieving independence was only the first stop, the first break—the end of colonial political control: centuries of backwardness was now to be overcome, the promises of the freedom struggle to be fulfilled, and people‘s hopes to be met. The task of nation-building was taken up by the people and leaders with a certain elan and determination and with confidence in their capacity to succeed. When Nehru assumed office as the first Prime Minister of India, there were a myriad of issues lying in front of him, vying for his attention. Nehru knew that it was highly important that he prioritized things. For him, ―First things must come first and the first thing is the security and stability of India.‖ In the words of eminent political scientist W.H Morris- Jones, the imminent task was to ―hold things together, to ensure survival, to get accustomed to the feel of being in the water, to see to it that the vessels keep afloat‖.
