    The country as India prepares for the general elections it’s a carnival in every sense of the word in terms of spectacle of colors hly Bly noise and exuberance it’s a festival of people’s participation to run a country that has set benchmarks hard to match anywhere else in the world

    The festival is observed by all Indian adults who are 18 years and above the organizer of the major elections across the country is the election commission of India or the ECI the election commission is an autonomous body set up under the provisions of the Indian constitution it’s responsible for administering the

    National and state election processes in the country the body conducts and supervises elections to the Indian Parliament comprising the loksabha the lower house and the rajas saaba the upper house it is also responsible for the elections to the legislative assemblies and legislative councils of the 28 Indian States and the offices of the

    India and ahead of the upcoming general elections Congress has released ninth candidate list in their Central election committee meeting on Friday the five candidates list is for three seats in southern state of Karnataka and two seats in Northern State of Rajasthan India’s Election Commission has is issued a notification Banning the

    Elections to be held in different states well DD India correspondent AA dongre joins us for more updates AE uh the election commission of India has issued a notification apparently Banning the the conduct publication or publicizing of exit polls between April 19 till June 1st uh this decision by the ECI how does

    It make elections more transparent and fair well uh the uh process of exit poll is uh is a is a quite a followed process around the world in democracies where elections take place where people go around asking the voters after they have uh exercise their rights that what party

    They have voted for and get their opinion about and they then they form an opinion about what party uh may be getting a majority number of seat what party may be winning in a particular seat and which party may be losing uh which party may be getting the most

    Number of seats and so on so uh this process has been banned uh according to a notification that has been issued by the election commission of India now there’s a rule that when the polls are being conducted no exit poll should be conducted and publicized U and and

    Circulated among the masses because the poll process that is going to take place in India will start from 19 of April and will continue till 1st of June and any such exit poll uh that have earlier been conducted during poll exercises uh tend to form an opinion about uh which party

    May be winning and it may uh lead on go on to uh form an opinion and lead of the public uh perception about which party may be win Ming and S the public opinion and that exactly is the reason why it may be considered harmful for a transparent and fair election process

    For the exit polls to be coming out ahead of the polling dates or during the polling days when the polls are being conducted and that exactly is the reason why uh the publication or publicizing of any kind of exit poll is has been banned from the first day of voting that is

    Going to take place on 19th of April until the first uh the last uh day of voting of general elections at 2024 in India that will be 1st of June so that exactly is the reason why this notification has been issued to ensure that there is no such exercise uh to S

    Public opinion as far as the polling process is concerned and AA in India election is not just an electoral process it’s a festival uh you know so take us through the atmosphere of how the country is getting up for the upcoming loab elections well uh the the the political

    Parties are have already started their campaigns in fact they had started their campaigns much in advance as far as the campaigning is concerned election hearing is concerned and uh now the political parties are also trying to form up equations trying to form Alliance Es as far as different states

    Are concerned the political parties have started to come up with manifestos uh the chief opposition party in India is expected to come up with uh an uh with with the with their Manifesto in the first week of April uh the B J party which is in in the government right now

    Is taking public opinion and uh it’s it’s taking uh public advice on what should be part of the public Manifesto what is the mood of the public so there are different kind of exercises that are being conducted by the political parties uh there are different campaigns that

    Are going on while the the parties that are in power both for the general elections as well as uh in in the state election that are going to take place they are trying to uh come up with their report cards on what they have done in the past 5 years whereas the opposition

    Parties are trying to raise issues uh of of of the elections of the of the issues that they think that they feel that have not been worked upon Enough by the incumbent government so it seems that the election fever has already gried the entire country we are not quite far away

    From the election it’s just a matter of 3 weeks now 3 to four weeks now that the election and voting will start and uh we will witness an intense competition between the political parties across the country you said it right AA election fervor has certainly gripped the entire

    Country and now if I talk about the bigger picture aa can you just tell us what are the states to look out for and what are the important constituencies to look out for when it comes to the upcoming loab elections well uh uh if you talk about the

    Important States uh in terms of sheer number of seats that are there uh then obviously uttar Pradesh being one of the largest state it has about 80 seats then there are State largest states like Maharashtra Karnataka there is madhia Pradesh Rajasthan so all of these states are are important for the political

    Parties but uh it would be unfair for for the constituencies to in fact rank them as far as the importance are concerned because a seat that is a loab constitu General Assembly general election constituency that is in Jammu Kashmir is as equally important as one

    In Kerala or one that is in the north eastern part of the country is as equal as it is in the heart of the national capital New Delhi so that is uh that is how the political party the gorging it definitely the election fervor is certainly gripping the country as people

    All over the nation is excited for the upcoming looks of a polls we leave it there thank you so much AA dongre for your analysis scrutiny for the nomination papers for the first phase of four loksabha seats of GAA nvada jamui and orang Abad in Eastern State of Bihar
