Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Elections announced

Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections were announced by the Election Commission of India during a press conference. Elections will be held for the first time after the removal of Article 370. Jammu and Kashmir is now a Union Territory and the first assembly elections will be held here after the abolition of Article 370. Assembly elections are to be held in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, where the deadline given by the Supreme Court for holding elections is ending on September 30. Last December, the Supreme Court had directed the Election Commission to conduct assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir by September 30.

After 10 years, elections have finally been announced in the paradise of the world. Jammu and Kashmir will get its elected government on 4th October. The results will be announced after the assembly elections on this day. After this, it will be decided whose government will be formed. However, many changes occurred in Jammu and Kashmir in these ten years.

Schedule of Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections

Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections will be held in three phases. The first phase of elections will be held on the 18th of September 2024. Furthermore, the second phase of elections will be held on the 25th of September. The final and the last third phase will be held on the 1st of October 2024. Moreover, the counting of votes will be on the 4th of October 2024. Hence the path to forming a new Jammu and Kashmir assembly will be opened after the 4th of October.

Jammu and Kashmir assembly seats

After the delimitation held last year in Jammu and Kashmir, there are now 90 assembly seats. For the first time, 9 seats have been reserved for ST. Apart from this, seats have also been reserved for Scheduled Castes. There were 107 seats in the state Assembly which has now increased to 114. After delimitation, maximum seats have increased in Jammu.

Under the new delimitation, earlier there were 37 seats in Jammu and now there are 43 assembly seats. There were 46 seats in Kashmir, now this number has increased to 47. Earlier there were two nominated members in the Assembly, now this number will be 5. Two seats have also been reserved for displaced Kashmiri Hindus.

Seats reserved for POK

Pakistan occupied some areas of Jammu and Kashmir right after independence. After this, it remains Pakistan’s possession. In 1956, when a separate constitution of Jammu and Kashmir was made, 24 seats of POK were earmarked in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly. It is believed that one day POK will come out of Pakistan and join India. On 22 February 1994, Parliament unanimously passed a historic resolution demanding that Pakistan vacate the areas of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir which it had occupied through invasion.

Hence in this election also, 24 seats will remain reserved for Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. This area of Jammu and Kashmir is currently under Pakistani occupation. That is why it is called POK.

Haryana assembly election announcement

The tenure of Haryana Assembly is going to end on November 3. The state elections have to be conducted even before this. Hence, the Election Commission of India has announced the assembly election date. The Election Commission announced the election date in Haryana along with the Jammu Kashmir assembly. Voting will take place in Haryana in a single phase on October 1. Counting of votes for both the assemblies will take place on October 4.

Earlier news was coming that the Commission will also announce the schedule of Maharashtra Assembly elections. But did not announce the dates of the Maharashtra Assembly elections. Since 2009, assembly elections in both the states of Maharashtra and Haryana have been held simultaneously thrice. However, this time the assembly elections of both the states are being held separately. It is noteworthy that the tenure of Maharashtra Assembly is going to end on 26th November. The tenure of the Haryana Assembly is till November 3.

A drop of blood helped to get justice

A drop of blood helped the police to find out the murderers. A sessions court in Mumbai in Maharashtra on Tuesday sentenced two associates, Siddhesh Shantaram Tamhankar and Khushi Sajwani, to life imprisonment in the murder of Kirti Vyas. The special thing is that in this case the body of the deceased woman Kirti has not been found to date. Above all, the police had solved the murder with just a single drop of blood.

Siddhesh and Khushi Sajwani made a plan to kill

Kirti Vyas and both the accused worked in a salon named BBlunt. Kirti Vyas was the finance manager of the Andheri office of BBlunt. Ashoke Bhabani and Adhuna Bhabani are the founders of BBlunt. Moreover, Adhuna Bhabani is the estranged wife of film actor Farhan Akhtar. Furthermore, BBlunt has been part of the Bollywood journey for over a decade, setting trends for many Bollywood celebrities and fashionistas.

It is said that Siddhesh Tamhankar was not working properly, so Kirti had given one month’s notice to remove him. Angered by this, Siddhesh and Khushi made a plan to kill Kirti. Khushi Sajwani is Siddhesh’s girlfriend.

On March 16, 2018, Kirti went missing, and her family filed a complaint. Kirti Vyas a resident of Grant Road, left home for work and did not reach the office. Also, her sister Shefali reported that both her phones were switched off. During this time, to avoid suspicion, the accused Siddhesh and Khushi Sajwani also pretended to search for her. Afterwards, police learned from CCTV that Siddhesh was standing near Kirti’s house on the day she went missing.

Revealed by a drop of blood

Four months after the incident, the police found a drop of blood from the trunk of Khushi’s car. When its DNA was tested, it matched the DNA of Kirti’s parents. After that, the police arrested Siddesh and his girlfriend on charges of murder. Police said that Siddhesh and Khushi Sajwani had kidnapped Kirti, strangled her to death in the car and thrown the body in the creek of Wadala. Even though the body has not been found to date a drop of blood helped to get justice to Kirti.

Rahul Gandhi will start the Bharat Nyay Yatra. Why?

Rahul Gandhi will travel more than 6,200 kilometres by bus and on foot during the Bharat Nyay Yatra. It will start from Manipur, pass through Nagaland, Assam, Meghalaya, West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Gujarat and end in Maharashtra. Thus, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s journey will pass through 14 states and 85 districts.

Before the 2024 general elections, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi is going to start the Bharat Nyay Yatra. This yatra will start from Manipur on 14th January and end in Mumbai on 20th March.

The reason for selecting 14 states

It seems that the total number of the Lok Sabha seats is the main reason for selecting these 14 states. All in all total of 355 Lok Sabha seats will be covered during this yatra.

Manipur-2, Nagaland-1, Assam-14, Meghalaya-2, West Bengal-42, Bihar-40, Jharkhand-14, Odisha-21, Chhattisgarh-11, Uttar Pradesh-80, Madhya Pradesh-29, Rajasthan-25, Gujrat-26 and Maharastra-48.

Why is Rahul Gandhi starting the Bharat Nyay Yatra from Manipur?

After all, why did Rahul Gandhi choose Manipur for his Bharat Jodo Yatra 2.0? Let us know…

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra was first from South to North. Hence it was decided to do Yatra 2.0 from East to West. Rahul Gandhi had to choose the option for the second Yatra.

This journey should start from Parshuram Kund in Arunachal Pradesh, which is surrounded by Rudraksha trees. This could have easily been connected to Rahul’s devotion to Shiva. But, it could have been linked to the religious beliefs of Congress.

But Rahul Gandhi decided to start this journey from Manipur. Because heart-wrenching news and videos have been coming out from Manipur. Through this, Manipur has been chosen so that Rahul Gandhi can launch a strong political attack on the Modi government and its claim of a double-engine government. On the other hand, Hindu sentiments were also taken care of by starting this Yatra on 14th January on the day of Makar Sankranti.

Big message from a small state

A state like Manipur may be small but the message here is big. That is why Rahul Gandhi Yatra will start from here. Opposition party leaders were not associated with Rahul during the Bharat Jodo Yatra in various states including Uttar Pradesh. In this context, the strategy of Congress is to watch how much and what kind of support other parties of ‘India’ will give.

Keep an eye on allies

Rahul Gandhi’s Yatra which is going to take place from Manipur to Maharashtra has a total of 355 Lok Sabha seats. At present Congress has only 14 seats out of 355 seats. If added all the seats of the “Indi” alliance the total is 67 seats. Moreover, Rahul Gandhi’s vision through Nyay Yatra will have at least 200 seats.

Rahul Gandhi’s journey is also going to pass through West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra. Where there are strong contenders in the ‘Indi’ alliance. In such a situation, there will be an eye on the partner parties.

Challenge strategy through alliance

A strategy to challenge BJP through alliances in states like West Bengal, Bihar and Maharashtra Has been created. Out of 42 seats in West Bengal, BJP had won 18 seats last time. But this time the opposition is mobilizing and working on a strategy to stop the BJP. During this, the stand of Mamata Banerjee and Congress will make everything clear.

Big challenge in Bihar

Rahul’s visit to Bihar to intensify the opposition’s campaign with the Nitish and RJD alliance, but before that, we will have to see Nitish’s attitude. Stopping the record performance of BJP’s victory in the last elections in Bihar is a challenge for the opposition.

According to Congress’s strategy, the strength of the ‘Indi’ alliance with Congress may increase in Maharashtra also. Congress has decided to end its tour in Maharashtra as per a well-thought-out strategy.

That’s why it was named Nyay Yatra

Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra was quite popular among the common people. Therefore, the name Nyay Yatra has been given considering the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Presenting to provide Nyay for everyone who is not getting during the BJP government.

This name has been given so that this Yatra can be associated with providing justice to the expectations of the public. Even though the party is avoiding calling it a political yatra, by naming it Nyay Yatra, it is carrying a political message among the public. If sources are to be believed, Priyanka Gandhi, who named the party’s minimum income scheme ‘Nyay’ in the 2019 elections, played an important role in naming this Yatra as Nyay Yatra.

Priyanka Gandhi will also support Nyay Yatra

Priyanka Gandhi was rarely seen in Bharat Jodo Yatra 1. But this time she will be seen more active in the Nyay Yatra. Party sources say that due to the preparations for the Lok Sabha elections, if Rahul suddenly has to leave in the middle of his trip to attend any election program or meeting, then Priyanka will be present on this trip.

During the Bharat Jodo Yatra, a large number of professionals from film, sports and other fields were seen walking with Rahul Gandhi. In such a situation, this time also the party’s Professional Congress Cell has already released its website and made an open call to all the professionals to join the Yatra.

Reaction to the Bharat Nyay Yatra of Rahul Gandhi

Before Rahul Gandhi leaves for the trip, sharp reactions are coming. Many Hindus and BJP supporters raised questions on social media platforms. While the Congress supporters are supporting Rahul Gandhi. Here are some of the reactions.

Why Rahul Gandhi is not going to start the Yatra from Arunachal Pradesh? Is it because of the secret MoU signed between China and Congress? He will touch 14 states but won’t pass through Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim bordering China.

Bharat Nyay Yatra in a nutshell… Soros & Co descends as 2024 elections cometh!!

Mamata Banerjee & Kejriwal had done a masterstroke on their part by proposing the name of Kharge ji in the Indi Alliance meeting. Now Rahul Gandhi is going on a Yatra from their states, the eyes of the entire country will be on Rahul and he will be at the centre.
