Independents confined to single digit in the last six Lok Sabha elections

The first Lok Sabha constituted in year 1952 had 37 independents, which was nearly 7% of the house. However, they started loosing ground gradually and the number dwindled down to mere 9 in the 15th Lok Sabha. In the first General Elections (1952), out of 1874 contestants, 533(nearly 28%) were independents. Encouraged by the performance the participation increased to 31% in the next General Election (1957). The number of successful independents also increased significantly from 37 to 42.

             However, in 1962 Elections for 3rd Lok Sabha, independents could not repeat the performance. Their number came down to 20 (from 42 in previous Lok Sabha), which represented a fall of more than 50%. However, in the 4th Lok Sabha, the number of successful independents rose significantly to 35. Perhaps, it encouraged more independents to enter the fray and in the General Election of 1971 for 5th Lok Sabha, almost 40% of all candidates contested as independents. However, only 14 could manage victory and 94% of them lost security deposits, as they could not muster one-sixth of the total votes polled.

            In spite of poor performance in 5th General Elections, the number of independents contesting polls further rose in successive elections. For instance, in the 6th General Elections, over 50% contested as independents. In the 7th General Election, it rose to 61%. The 8th General Elections witnessed a further increase with 71% aspirants contesting as independents. In the 11th General Elections, 76% of total contestants were independents.

            After increase in security deposit in 1998, independents number came down to almost 40% of the total contestants in the 12th General Elections.

CM Sheila Dikshit now Governor Sheila Dikshit

• Sheila Dikshit appointed new Kerala governor

NEW DELHI: Former Delhi chief minister and senior Congress leader Sheila Diskhit has been appointed as the new governor of Kerala on Tuesday, according to ABP News report. This follows the resignation of the current Kerala governor Nikhil Kumar.

Dikshit served as Delhi's chief minister from 1998 to 2013 before she lost to Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal in the December 2013 assembly polls. She lost her assembly seat by over 20,000 votes.

The former CM had represented UP's Kannauj parliamentary constituency between 1984 and 1989.

Dikshit faces several graft charges against her including involvement in the 2010 Commonwealth Games that were held in the city and irregularities in Delhi Technological University admissions. The DTU case is related to the recruitment process in 2012 in connection to the vacancies advertised in December 2011.

In a recent order the Delhi high court said Sheila Dikshit will have to defend herself in a graft case and did away with Delhi government pursuing the appeal filed by her administration in 2013 against the trial court order for lodging an FIR against her.

Days before quitting, the Arvind Kejriwal government had on February 14 (when it resigned) moved the high court seeking to take back the appeal filed by then Congress government headed by Dikshit.

Dikshit had moved the high court opposing the plea of the Kejriwal government and had also sought her impleadment in the matter.

AAP government had said Dikshit will have to defend herself as she is no more the CM and the government lacked the "locus standi" to fight for her.

Five Blunders of AAM ADMI PARTY

Five Blunders of AAM ADMI PARTY

Number five has not much significance in count. But here we use this number as a reminder for the common man’s party. Public had faith in them, now it in loosing mode. During Assembly election most of the voters in Delhi said “AAP wale pade likhe hai”. That means AAP leaders as well as candidates are educated. As per party’s claim, they represent common man; but common man expect at least a minimum level of common sense. Here we discus the situations when AAP lost its political common sense.

• Arivind Kejriwal Became the CM: If he is out of the CM seat, party should have a face and voice to protest on street for the party government. When he, himself went on strike against the Centre, it became illeagal and unconstitutional. He forgot, he is the CM of the state.

• Giving seat to Vinod Kumar Binny: Binny history shows he is a man in greed of power and position. If AAP claim about their selection process is right, then Binny wont be a AAP candidate for the election. After allow Binny to contest from Laxmi Nagar, AAP proved their selection process was only a claim, not a truth. He showed his real colour after the election.

• Justifying Law Minister Somnath Bharati: What Bharati did was absolutely wrong and unjustifiable. As a minister of he can use his office to conduct the raid and rest of the things. But, he himself went on a night ride, that became a nightmare for the party as well as government. If he got a complaint regarding drug and prostitution racket, he could instruct his secretary to act on his behalf. Here, he taken law in his hand, forgot he is the Law Minister of the state.

• AAP never think: AAP people claim they are think tankers. But in real they are not. During election they said on December 29^th they pass Jan Lokayukta bill at Ram Leela. They didn’t even think about the procedures of law making. In his first speech as the CM of the State Kejriwal told to start Anti Corruption helpline in 2 day. He forgot to think 2 days is very short to set up a Anti Corruption Cell. He made that speech on a Saturday. Next day is Sunday, and till Monday noon his 2 days is over.

• After taking support of Congress, and  protesting against Congress: Taking support of Congress is politically correct, morally wrong. Because they won 28 seats by securing the majority anti congress votes. To justify, AAP says we didn’t ask, Congress just extended support. After forming the government its politically wrong to protest against the supporter’s government, but its morally right.

As the political experts say AAP’s Honeymoon days is going to end. So people of Delhi want AAP to act like much mature bahu. Please live up to the minimum level of their expectations, and remember you are not in a BLUNDER LAND!
