ravishingravi Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Just now, Lord said: It does create pressure and allows the opposition (at center) to create perception that the party is failing. Congress is just terrible to seize thew opportunity. BJP won state elections in many states before 2014 IIRC. Now imagine if some terrible govt like Congress is unopposed for 5 years, it'll only mean disaster. It's perception but I don't see any results. BJP won all the state elections before 2004 and we're overwhelming favourites. They in fact preponed the elections and lost. So I don't see any evidence of state elections influencing central elections or vice versa because they are fought on different issues. It seems like usual bureaucratic resistance to change.

Today I learnt about this terrible idea. This was in place till 1971. However, because Congress dismissed many of state governments, it effected the timing of these elections. So another Congress legacy. AuxiliA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its in the BJP manifesto.I still dont see how they will implement this even if they get 2/3 majority.no regional party will accept this even bJP allies.BJP better off fighting the delimitation battle because that has to be implemented no matter what.

bharathh Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 One nation-one election willreduce the burden on the exchequer by a tonne - but I agree that it would be more prudent to follow through on UCC and undoing things like the WAQF act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if done right.the present disparity in representation is untenable.the number of seats are going to go way up and if BJP doesn't want to lose its southern gains then they are better off just increasing the seats withstarter. the present percentage of each state.doing delimitation based on population is a non starter.

The whole idea of delimitation was that it should be done based on population. Which is why this can has been pushed down the road by every successive govt and nothing will change here.

The number of seats will increase. That was one of the big reasons for new parliament building.

coffee_rules Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) First order of business for the new government should be completion of 2021 Census which is delayed die to Covid, CAA, NRC and what not. It will definitely tell why some states like TN have an disproportionate number of lok sabha seats allocated to them based on population that was there some 75 years ago.
