17th Lok Sabha and 4 State Election Schedule announced

The Indian Election Commission has at last declared the poll schedule of the much anticipated 2019 elections to the Indian parliament and to the legislative assemblies of four states. The announcement of schedule and dates by the E C has been receiving wide criticism from many people and political parties except the BJP and its stakeholders. 

The Election Commission of India is an independent autonomous constitutional authority responsible for administering election processes in India. In the past it has been performing accordingly. But there is wide criticism these days that the government run by Modi in India has been swallowing all the autonomous institutions like the CBI, RBI, etc and the present acts of the ECI also point towards this allegations. At a time when the whole country was mourning the huge loss of life of our brave soldiers, prime minister Modi was busy conducting election rallies and announcing poll promises and welfare sops before the declaration of the election schedule and 'model code of conduct' came into effect.

Tamil Nadu Assembly Election 2016: Who will Win? DMK or AIADMK Alliance?

Elections in India are not a mere matter of prestige or just a run for power and positions. It is something more than that. It is a 'do or die' battle for survival. In states like Tamil Nadu, the intensity of the electoral battle will be severe. The loser will be subjected to severe hardships by the winner. Hence to remain in power or to enter in positions, the politicians go to any extreme and resort to taking any steps without leaving no stones unturned.  

With regard to doing corruptions both leading parties like DMK and AIADMK have proven their skills. But no party in India could equal AIADMK chief and incumbent Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa in indulging in huge scams some of which sent her to jail even when she was in power. But she could succeed to some extend in winning the appreciations of many average people, who are not much bothered about huge scams, by offering them some sops. 

To capture the lost position in the government, the DMK party and to retain in power for another 5-years-term, the AIADMK are making many strategies. Many big and small parties are seen making many plans either to rule or to be with the rulers. Apparently many parties are hesitant to make any ties with the BJP fearing it will do more bad than good.

Already the Congress and the DMK have entered in to a pact. And actor turned politician Vijayakanth's DMDK is also likely to join the DMK-Congress alliance. Many smaller parties also are joining this alliance, the fight is expected to be a tough one.

Who will win more seats and form the government in the Chennai St George Fort is not predictable at this stage. Even though many survey companies and news channels would conduct poll surveys and opinion polls, they too cannot be taken for granted. What is in the minds of people and which party will form the governement in Tamil Nadu will be revealed on May 19th, 2016.

2016 Indian Assembly Election Dates, Details, Opinion polls, surveys

The chief election Commissioner of India Dr Nasim Zaidi on Friday (March 4th) officially announced the dates and other important information about the conduct of the Assembly Elections to be held to the four Indian states and one UT. With this announcement, the model code of conduct has come in to force in these states and union territory. 

The elections to the state assemblies of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry will be held on May-16 in a single phase on one day. And it will be conducted in Assam in 2 phases and in West Bengal in six phases starting from 4th April and ending on 16th May, spread over 43 days.

The counting of votes will be held on 19th May, 2016 in all these states and the results will be made known following the counting. 

This time the electronic ballot boxes (EVMs) to be used in the election will have photos attached to the names of each contestants to avoid the confusion of voters that may arise due to the increased number of fake candidates with similar names of the official candidates who can split some votes and can adversely affect the winning chances of the candidates. 

Another speciality of this election is that 'NOTA' (none of the above button) which is gaining popularity and getting more votes due to the wrong selection of candidates by some parties, also will have an official symbol. 

Even though some news channels have started collecting and airing some opinion polls and surveys to measure the winning chances of parties and candidates, seeing the pathetic failure of different survey and exit poll results conducted and declared by popular news channels and companies in the past, people have lost faith in any of them. 

The actual results of the elections will depend upon many actors. Some factors that are prevailing now and some incidents that may occur during the time of election will also influence the voters' minds. Parties particularly the oppositions in all these states are busy making alliances with other parties for a marginal victory and overthrowing the governments in power by hook or crook..!

Election time is considered as a golden period for most people particularly the mass vote bank who get money, liquor etc from all parties and contestants and many sops by the parties who lure them easily and cheat them there after for five years. The most pathetic part is that we will be forced to see many violences and deaths related to theses elections.

How to APPLY ONLINE to Join INDIAN ARMY RECRUITMENT ENROLLMENT

There are umpteen number of Indian youth who dream for a career with the prestigious Indian Armed Defence Forces namely the Army, the Navy and the Air Force. While many of the aspirants choose one of these defense forces as one of the best and prestigious organisations for a decent, disciplined and rewarding employment opportunity, on the other hand there is a sizeable number of candidates who opt for an opportunity to serve in an establishment that is dedicated to protect the country and its people with a sense of patriotism blended with a feeling of great satisfaction.

The Indian Army used to conduct enrollment rallies in different locations in India to make the preliminary selection of the aspiring youth who throng in large numbers from and around the selection rally locations with an aim to get into the preliminary selection list which is the first stage of the selection process. 

Unfortunately due to the rush and the overwhelming presence of the aspiring candidates in an unruly and unorganized manner, a number of untoward incidents were reported including stampedes in spite of taking all precautionary measures at many selection centers in the past. Added to that the group rally run which is above 5 km distance to filter the candidates had ended up in calamities due to the weak physical conditions of the participants and absence of prior practices in many rally fields where many candidates collapsed due to insufficient stamina and some of them succumbed. 

The new decision of the Indian Army to invite, facilitate and accept only Online Application through internet for Enrollment to the Defense services is considered as a welcome move to reduce the initial inconveniences and the involvement of middle-men who often resort to wide range of corruptions.
