UP Panchayat elections: BJP's defeat in Ayodhya, Kashi, Mathura, SP's hold strong

After the defeat in the West Bengal election results, now the BJP has faced difficulties in Uttar Pradesh as well. The results of the Uttar Pradesh Panchayat elections are gradually coming out. In the form of political messaging, the BJP has suffered a major setback in these elections. The Samajwadi Party has claimed that in many districts of the state, including from Ayodhya to Mathura and Kashi, the BJP has suffered a crushing defeat.

However, along with the counting of panchayat elections, both the ruling BJP and the opposition Samajwadi Party (SP) on Monday claimed that their candidates won half the seats of the district panchayat.

Let us know that the panchayat elections in the state are not fought on party symbols, but this time both BJP and SP have officially declared the names of their supported candidates. The Congress, too, named its candidates on selected seats.

The BJP claimed that out of 3,051 members for the district panchayat, 918 candidates had won and another 456 were ahead.

BJP spokesperson Harish Chandra Srivastava said that his party was winning the majority of seats in the panchayat elections which was a result of the welfare policies of the central and state governments.

On the other hand, the Samajwadi Party also claimed that more than 50 percent of the winning candidates were in their support.

SP spokesman Rajendra Chaudhary said,

UP Panchayat elections: “SP-backed candidates have won more than 50 percent of the seats declared so far. The BJP has lost ground for its failure to provide governance not only in urban areas, but also in villages, especially during the epidemic. “

Let us know that by this evening the correct count will be known and the results of all the seats will be revealed.

Where is BJP in Ayodhya?

In Ayodhya district, there are 40 seats of the total Zilla Panchayat member, out of which the Samajwadi Party claimed to win 24 seats. It is being told that BJP has got only 6 seats. Apart from this, independents have won 12 seats. Many of these people got angry in the BJP and went to the independent elections.

BJP’s defeat in PM Modi’s Kashi also

In Varanasi, the parliamentary constituency of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP has also faced defeat. After the defeat of the Legislative Council (MLC) in Varanasi, now the BJP has lost in the Panchayat elections as well.

In Varanasi, only 8 out of 40 seats of Zilla Panchayat have come in BJP’s account .. Samajwadi Party claims that it has won 14 seats. BSP got 5 seats, Apna Dal (S) got 3 seats, Aam Aadmi Party and Subhaspa got 1-1 seats. At the same time, 3 independent candidates have won.

BSP and RLD in Mathura

In Mathura too, the BJP has faced a crushing defeat. The BJP was reduced to only 8 seats. At the same time, Mayawati’s BSP has won 12 seats and Chaudhary Ajit Singh’s Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) has won 9 seats. The Samajwadi Party managed to win just one seat.

Aam Aadmi Party also opened an account

AAP’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said that 70 party-backed candidates won the posts of Zilla Panchayat members and more than 200 Gram Pradhan posts.

On the other hand, the Congress avoided commenting and said that they will share the list of their winning candidates on Tuesday.

However, a Congress spokesperson said,

“The claims of SP and BJP are false. While the BJP had announced its candidates, the SP did not even name its candidates properly. Both are claiming victory for independent candidates. “

About 13 lakh candidates participated in the panchayat elections held on 15, 19, 26 and 29 April. So far, out of about six lakhs, results for more than 3.27 lakh panchayat posts have been reported, for which polling has been held across the state.

In addition, more than 3.19 lakh candidates were declared elected unopposed before the counting of votes began on Sunday at 826 centers.

UP Panchayat elections: The State Election Commission said that apart from those who did not contest, 2,32,612 gram panchayat members, 38,317 gram pradhans, 55,926 panchayat members and 181 zilla panchayat members have been declared elected so far. As the counting of ballot papers continues, the results of more than 2.23 lakh posts have not been found yet.

Amit Shah Viral Video: Delhi Police Special Cell Lodged An FIR Over Doctored Clips On Reservation Issue

The Delhi Police Special Cell filed an FIR on Sunday after receiving a written complaint from Home Minister Amit Shah stating that a doctored article featuring him regarding the reservation issue is being circulated on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

The Delhi police have registered the FIR under sections 153, 153A, 465, 469, 171G, and 66C of the IT Act, and arrests are expected to take place nationwide.

The Ministry of Home Affairs stated in a written complaint that it has discovered doctored videos circulated by Facebook and Twitter users. The complaint also mentioned that a report containing details of links and social media handles, which are the sources of these videos, was attached. The case is being investigated by the Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) of the Delhi Police Special Cell.

Amit Shah, during a public meeting on April 23 at the Vijaya Sankalp Sabha in Telangana, stated that the BJP will repeal the unconstitutional Muslim reservation when it comes to power in Telangana.

Home Minister Amit Shah said,

“I want to say this: if the BJP forms a government, then this unconstitutional Muslim reservation will be abolished. These rights belong to SC, ST, and OBC, and they will be given to them by abolishing Muslim reservation.”

The BJP alleged that the video was altered to show Shah promising to scrap reservations for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The BJP stated that the original video showed Amit Shah discussing the removal of the four percent “unconstitutional” reservation for Muslims in Telangana.

The BJP’s complaint said,

“Union Home Minister Amit Shah Ji did not deliver any word against the reservation for Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs), and tampering of the original speech was done by the social media activists of the Congress party for their political gains and to cause immeasurable damage to the BJP in the forthcoming elections in Andhra Pradesh and throughout India.”

BJP spokesperson Amit Malviya alleged that the Congress is spreading the doctored video, which has the potential to cause widespread violence in the country. Mr. Shah had talked about whether the unconstitutional reservation on the basis of religion would reduce the share of the SCs/STs and OBCs.

Uttarakhand's Uniform Civil Code Bill Decoded

When the framers of the Constitution were drafting it, they left the subject of the Uniform Civil Code or UCC as an aspirational dream that could be fulfilled at a later and more opportune time.

Uttarakhand could become the first state where the Uniform Civil Code will come into force. In 2022, the Uttarakhand State Government started the process and entrusted the job of preparing a draft for the UCC to a team led by retired Supreme Court judge Ranjana Prakash Desai.

The Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami-led government will place the draft of the Uniform Civil Code Uttarakhand 2024 Bill (UCC) before the state legislative assembly. The bill will be tabled in the forthcoming four-day special assembly session that began on Monday.

The State Cabinet of the CM Pushkar Singh Dhami-led government had already Okayed the final draft of the UCC, and it envisages uniform civil laws for all the communities who reside in the state. If the Bill clears the legislative assembly, it will be sent to the Governor for approval. After the Governor approves the bill, it will then become law. The UCC was a big sticking point in the elections, and the BJP had promised to make it a law in the state.

What is the Uniform Civil Code?

The Uniform Civil Code or the UCC is a set of laws that will govern personal matters like marriage, divorce, adoption, inheritance, and succession for all the citizens of the state irrespective of their religious beliefs. Today different laws govern these personal matters for different communities of different religions. The UCC will replace all such diverse laws, and there will be only one uniform civil law.

As already mentioned, the draft of the law was prepared by a team led by retired Supreme Court judge Ranjana Prakash Desai and also included retired justice Pramod Kohli, social activist Manu Gaur, former Uttarakhand Chief Secretary Shatrughan Singh, and Vice Chancellor of Doon University, Surekha Dangwal. The draft is composed of 740 pages and has four volumes.

The final draft was prepared after extensive feedback in written, oral, online from public forums and 43 public outreach programs which included more than 60,000 people. The final bill has been described as a joint and collective effort and included opinions from a diverse section of the public. The Bill seeks to abolish polygamy and child marriage, give equal property inheritance rights to girls and boys, and also seeks to remove the distinctions between legitimate and illegitimate children, adopted and biological children.
