Donald Trump won in the Iowa Caucuses

Donald Trump had a big victory scoring 51% of votes and gained 20 delegates. This primary election was held in Iowa a state of the US. In the United States Presidential primary season, the Iowa Caucuses is the first major contest.

The victory of Donald Trump in Iowa is the first step in the U.S. presidential election. Let’s first understand the election procedure in the US.

Election Procedure in the US

The election procedure starts with the registration of candidates with the Federal Election Commission to run for President. Thereafter primaries and caucuses are held by States and Parties. After that parties conduct a National Convention to choose their candidate for President. Finally, the Presidential candidate participates in the Presidential debate and tries to win the Presidential election.

US Presidential primaries and caucuses

Two methods for selecting presidential nominees are primaries and caucuses used by states and political parties.

Presidential primaries

Before a presidential election, most states conduct primaries that take place 6-9 months earlier. During the primaries, voters cast secret ballots to choose their preferred candidate without revealing their identity. The state where the primary is held considers the results of the vote and awards delegates to the winners based on them.

Caucuses

In the months leading up to a presidential election, several states hold caucuses. Caucuses are meetings managed by political parties at the county, district, or precinct level. Some caucuses choose candidates through a secret ballot, while others require participants to form groups based on the candidate they support. Undecided participants make up their group. Each candidate’s group gives speeches and attempts to persuade others to join their group. Ultimately, the number of delegates given to each candidate is based on the number of caucus votes they receive.

Who are Delegates

Delegates are individuals who are authorized to vote on behalf of others in an indirect election. A typical example of delegates acting on behalf of a broader electorate to elect a representative is the United States presidential election. During the US presidential election, voters in each state elect delegates (also known as “electors”) in the electoral college, who then cast their vote to elect the president.

What happens at the National Convention

To become the presidential nominee, a candidate must generally secure a majority of delegates. This is typically achieved through a series of state primaries and caucuses held by the political party. The state delegates then attend the national convention where they cast their votes to confirm their chosen candidate. Finally, a Presidential candidate is been selected. During the convention, the presidential nominee announces their running mate for vice president.

The victory in Iowa will boost Donald Trump

Former President of the United States of America Donald Trump has been surrounded by a lot of difficulties for some time. Many cases were filed against Trump one after the other and also setbacks from the court. Trump has a long association with controversies and because of this controversies have still not left him.

But in the meantime, the former American President has got relief. Trump succeeded today and this success has come in the form of a victory for Trump. This is being considered a big victory for Trump. Also, Trump’s claim of becoming the Republican candidate in the US presidential elections to be held in 2024 has become stronger.

Indian-origin Vivek Ramaswami withdraws from the race for US President and supports Donald Trump

Presidential elections are going to be held in America this year. Many leaders are contesting the elections. Vivek Ramaswamy from the Republic Party had also submitted his claim to become the next President of America.

After contesting the elections, Vivek came into the limelight and his popularity also increased. Vivek is of Indian origin and Hindu by religion and during the election campaign he also made it clear that he is proud to be a Hindu and he will not back down from the religion.

Bharatvanshi Vivek Ramaswamy has recently made a big decision. Vivek has withdrawn his name from the race to become the President of America. As soon as Vivek withdrew from the race for US President, he supported former US President and Republican Party candidate Donald Trump.

Congress declared Tikaram Jully as Leader of the Opposition

Congress has surprised everyone by making Tikaram Jully the Leader of the Opposition. It is seen as an attempt to woo the Dalit vote bank in the coming Lok Sabha elections.

Before the beginning of the 16th Assembly session starting from January 19, Congress has appointed the Leader of the Opposition. Surprising everyone, the Congress party’s high command has made Tikaram Jully, the leader of the opposition. Tikaram Jully is an MLA from Alwar Rural and was a cabinet minister in the previous Gehlot government. Whereas Govind Singh Dotasara will remain the President of the State Congress.

This decision of the Congress party is also being seen as an attempt to woo the Jat-Dalit vote bank. Congress decided this because of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. This is probably the first time that Congress has given the responsibility of Leader of Opposition to a Dalit face. However, as Jat faces, the names of Govind Singh Dotasara and Harish Chaudhary were also in the race for Leader of the Opposition. Mahendrajit Singh Malviya was also in discussion as ST face. But this time the party has played its bet on Dalit face. The party appointed the Leader of the Opposition after about one and a half months.

Congress National General Secretary Jitendra Singh played a big role

According to experts, Congress National General Secretary and former MP Jitendra Singh played a big role in making Tikaram Jully the Leader of the Opposition. Jully is considered very close to Jitendra Singh. For the last several days, Singh has been lobbying hard in Delhi for this.

Tikaram Jully is third time MLA from Alwar Rural

Tikaram Jully, born on 30 November 1980 in Kathuwas, Alwar, is the third-time MLA from Alwar Rural. He first became MLA in 2008, then was elected MLA in 2018 and 2023. Jully started his political career in Panchayat Raj. Apart from being the youngest district chief of Alwar, he has also been the President of the Alwar Rural Congress. Apart from this, he was the Minister of State in the previous Gehlot government from 24 December 2018 to 20 November 2021. After that, he was the Cabinet Minister in the cabinet reorganisation.

Congress Party expressed confidence in Dotasara

The Congress party high command has once again expressed confidence in the name of Govind Singh Dotasara for the post of State Congress President. Dotasara has been working on this post since July 15, 2020. Dotasara is considered to have a significant influence in the Shekhawati region. Congress has also performed better in the assembly elections in the Sikar, Jhunjhunu and Churu districts of the Shekhawati region. In the past, the results of by-elections held under his leadership were also in favour of the party. The Congress party is also in the role of a strong opposition in the results of the recently held assembly elections.

The leader of the Opposition gets equal facilities as a cabinet minister

After the appointment by Congress, now the gazette notification of the Leader of the Opposition will also be issued from the Assembly. The Leader of the Opposition is given equal facilities to a Cabinet Minister. Due to this, along with getting government accommodation and other facilities, he will also get an office in the Legislative Assembly.

Now Tikaram Jully will oppose the government on issues of public interest. After becoming the Leader of the Opposition, Tikaram Jully said in a conversation with the media that he would challenge the government in the House and outside the House on issues of public interest. It has been one and a half months since the government was formed but the Chief Minister is not able to get out of the slip. No new works have been started, and the works that were going on have been stopped.

Atal Setu, the longest bridge to reduce travel time

Atal Setu was been inaugurated by PM Modi today. Moreover, PM Modi himself had laid its foundation stone in 2016. This bridge is a six-lane bridge about 21.8 km long. This is good news for the people of Mumbai today.

The Prime Minister’s vision is to improve the ‘ease of movement’ of citizens by strengthening urban transport infrastructure and connectivity. In line with this vision, the Mumbai Trans Harbor Link (MTHL), now named ‘Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sewri-Nhava Sheva Atal Setu’, has been built.

Atal Setu is the longest sea bridge in India. This bridge is about a 21.8 km long six-lane bridge. Whose length is about 16.5 km on the sea and about 5.5 km on land. Atal Setu is to connect Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. Moreover, it will provide direct connectivity to Mumbai International Airport and Navi Mumbai International Airport. Furthermore, this will also improve connectivity between Mumbai Port and Jawaharlal Nehru Port. Above all, it will also reduce the travel time from Mumbai to Pune, Goa and South India. Now one can reach Navi Mumbai from Mumbai in 20 minutes instead of 2 hours.

Toll Tax on Atal Setu

The cost of building Atal Setu is approximately Rs 18,000 Crore. That will be recovered over some time by toll tax. It is expected that 70,000 vehicles will pass on it per day.

A one-way toll from a passenger car will be Rs 250. The fee for the to and fro journey is Rs 375. As well as daily and frequent passengers may opt for monthly passes, the official said. It is estimated that a four-wheeler will save petrol of Rs 500 per side due to no signal and no traffic jams.

India’s longest sea bridge, Atal Setu, incorporates an Open Road Tolling (ORT) system, enabling vehicles to pass through toll booths at speeds of up to 100 kmph without stopping. The maximum speed limit on this bridge is 100 km per hour for motorists. Moreover, heavy vehicles, motorcycles, tractors, tractors, autorickshaws and other slow-speed vehicles are not allowed to travel on this bridge.

Maldives on the backfoot

Maldives on the backfoot due to strong reaction in India. Temperatures are rising between India and Maldives over the objectionable comments made by a government minister Mariam Shiuna and other leaders during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Lakshadweep.

These statements are described as a big blow to the relations between the two countries. Moreover, it has continuously derailed since Mohammad Muizzu became the President. Many celebrities and common people in India are expressing their displeasure about this. #BycottMaldives is trending on social media platforms in India.

Affect on the Maldives

Meanwhile, the Maldives’ Mohammed Muizzoo government has started trying to compensate for the loss. The government first issued a statement distancing itself from the minister’s comments. After this, media reports quoting the government claimed that the people who made the comments had been suspended.

As per the report, the government of Maldives released a statement declaring that individuals who hold government positions and have made derogatory remarks about India on social media have been suspended. The Ministry of External Affairs has released a statement regarding the incident. According to media reports, apart from Maryam Shiuna, Malsha Sharif and Mahzoom Majid have also been suspended.

Statements of the leaders of the previous government of Maldives

The former deputy speaker confirmed the suspension of ministers. Former Deputy Speaker and MP of Maldives Eva Abdullah, while confirming the suspension of the ministers, has said that the government should apologize to the people of India. Eva Abdullah said, “We have been dependent on India for economic relations, social relations, health, education, business, tourism etc. People are aware of this and they are thankful for it. All political parties, including former ministers and coalition partners of the current government, have condemned the derogatory remarks.”

Before this, former President Mohammad Nasheed, former President Ibrahim Mohammad Solih and former Foreign Minister Abdullah Shahid condemned the statement and advised the current government.

Muizzu Policy

Before Muizzu, Ibrahim Mohammed Solih was the President of Maldives and his government had implemented the policy of ‘India First’. Whereas Muizzu had contested the elections with the slogan of ‘India Out’. After winning the victory, Muizzu’s decisions started showing increasing distance in the relations between the two countries. Muizzu is considered closer to China than India.

Foreign affairs experts criticized

On this matter, foreign affairs expert Robinder Sachdev said, this is condemnable. There is a section that is anti-India. India not only helps the economy through tourism. We also provide them with security. There was a coup in Maldives in 1988. India sent its troops and the coup was stopped within hours. Therefore India is for the national security of Maldives. There were occasions when the island experienced a severe shortage of water. India sent aircraft and our army with bottled water.

As per the foreign affairs experts MP Modi’s visit to Lakshadwee p was to counter changing policies in Maldives. The result is a lot of Indian tourists cancelled hotel bookings and flights to Maldives. The tourists are diverting from Maldives to Lakshadweep, Andaman and Nicobar Islands and other beautiful beaches in India
