Uttarakhand legislative Assembly Elections 2017:



BJP has all the reasons to be happy with its victory in Uttarakhand as it was this hill state where the attempts to topple the Harish Rawat government were met with failure. The decisive and convincing victory has emboldened BJP for the future. However it has to perfect its balancing act as well and accommodate as many contenders for the top posts as possible. The BJP had not declared its chief ministerial candidate in the state, it won on the charisma of the prime minister which at the moment is monumental.

Dehradun mayor and Dharampur legislator Vinod Chamoli was strongly lobbying for a cabinet berth but denied it openly. 11 ministers along with the chief minister were likely to form the government. Eight-time MLA Harbans Kapoor was indeed a serious contender for the post of cabinet minister.

Ritu Khanduri, daughter of former chief minister BC Khanduri, and Saurabh Bahuguna, son of former CM Vijay Bahuguna, are also strong contenders for a ministerial berth. Vinod Kandari is a new face in the BJP but is also a claimant. He is a former ABVP activist and close RSS.

Rajesh Shukla who defeated Harish Rawat from Kichha and Yatishwaranand who defeated the CM from Haridwar rural are also pitching for the ministerial berth. Who actually gets the place in the cabinet is something only time can tell.

There has always been a challenge in this Hill state to balance the two regions of Garhwal and Kumaon in the ministerial berths. It has also to accommodate the erstwhile ministers in the Khanduri government like Madan Kaushik, Bishan Singh Chufal, Trivendra singh, Harbans Kapoor and Khajan Das, and also the congress rebels who were instrumental in its win like Harak Singh Rawat, Yash Pal Arya, Kunwar Pranav Singh Champion and Subodh Uniyal, who are all strong claimants for the ministerial posts. If BJP has to maintain its position in the state it would have a tough task of keeping everyone happy in the state.

It has been a one-sided election in Uttarakhand. The BJP won 57 seats out of the 70 results declared. It would indeed form the government on its own. The Congress party has managed to win only 11 seats, while Independents won 2 seats. The chief minister of Uttarakhand Harish Rawat lost the election as well.

The Exit polls had predicted a close contest in the state with a slight edge to the BJP. But they have been proved wrong as it is a convincing victory for the BJP in the state. Development was one of the major issues in the elections. Earlier, Harish Rawat had managed to survive an attempt to topple his government and had played the victim card, but the results show that it did not work.

Lok Sabha Elections 2019



In 2009 Election Results the UPA won around 261 out of 543 seats, and in the second position was NDA with 158 seats, while 23 seats were won by Left parties.

In the 2014 Election Results the BJP won 282 seats out of 543 seats. This took the NDA tally to 336 seats out of 543 seats in the Lok Sabha. INC could only manage to win 44 seats and stayed in the second position while AIADMK party from Tamil Nadu came third with 37 seats in the 2014 Lok Sabha Elections.

In 2019, the BJP is set to return to power at the Centre after a sweeping win in the 2019 Lok Sabha election , armed with a bigger mandate than in the 2014 General Election. The party - led by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP President Amit Shah duo has secured 303 seats in the 17th Lok Sabha. Meanwhile, the Congress, the main Opposition party, managed to increase its vote share from 2014 only by a handful of votes, with a final tally of 52 seats. There will be no Leader of Opposition in the upcoming Lower House for a second consecutive term.

Major issues that Uttarakhand currently faces:



Unemployment - It is the basic problem which has given birth to a number of connected problems, such as poverty, social disorder, insecurity, maintenance of law and order etc. In the State of Uttarakhand. At the time of establishment of Uttarakhand State though the government made and announced many policies to recover the problem of unemployment, yet it is also the big truth that the government remained unable to achieve the target of full employment.

Migration - Countering migration from the state has become an emotive issue. A part of the problem is this: the total number of people unemployed has nearly doubled to 938,000 in 2015-16 from 565,000 five years ago. Going by media reports, out of the 16,793 villages, about 3,000 hardly have any residents. Hundreds of villages in the state have seen a rapid trend of migration, especially by the youth due to lack of education and employment opportunities. According to the 2011 census migration data, about 97,700 people had migrated from Uttarakhand to cities and towns in other states in the past 10 years.

Irrigation: The scarcity of water is still a major problem in Uttarakhand. Agricultural land remains barren because of a lack of irrigation facilities in the state, while water is not even available for everyday household chores. In villages, women have to walk for miles every day to fetch water.

Deforestation: The state's forest wealth is on the verge of depletion because of deforestation. An unregulated collection of forest material and alleged encroachment of forest land has led to this. Illegal wildlife trade is rampant to get fur, bones, tusks, feathers and glands from animals. But despite this, animal poaching hasn't been curbed, resulting in several species of animals being included in the endangered category.

Corruption - One of the biggest impediments to development of Uttarakhand is corruption. 50% citizens of Uttarakhand who participated in the survey admitted to paying a bribe to get their work done, out of which 25% gave bribes several times (directly or indirectly) while 25% paid bribes once or twice (directly or indirectly). 50% said they got work done without paying a bribe. In terms of authority to which residents of Uttarakhand gave bribes, 67% gave bribes to property registration and land issues while 33% paid bribes to others (Electricity Board, Transport Office, Tax Office, etc.)

Key electoral issues in Uttarakhand

Besides unemployment and migration, lack of power and other infrastructures like road constitute major electoral issues in the state. According to a data, more than 7 lakh people, of whom 90 per cent are educated, are unemployed in the state. But this data only takes into account those who are registered with the state’s employment exchange bureaus. That means the number of unemployed people could be much more than what meets the eye.

Religious tourism is the lone employment generating source in the state. Migration of people from the state is linked with unemployment. As many as 1,100 villages in this mountain state are complete empty, while there are 664 villages in the Garhwal region with just a handful of residents who are either old or sick.
