The first phase of voting in J and K showed 71.6 % , the highest compared to the last so many elections. This seems to be a good beginning for the democratic process in the state.
Jharkhand has polled 62% in the first phase, despite threat by Maoists. This is also good polling.

The main two ruling parties in the country are Congress and BJP. Congress was the ruling party at the centre for last ten years and BJP is the present ruling party after the general elections.
They have so many things in common. They are full supporters of the New-Economic Policy, they want to change labour laws to suit the corporates and big business, they are anti-left, most of their M.P.s and MLAs are crorepatis and so on.
Now in one more sector they are together; in not submitting the election accounts to the Election Commission. These two national parties have not submitted the accounts, though the stipulated period of three months are over by August. All other national Parties have already submitted their accounts.
We do not know whether an amendment to the Election Commission rules will be brought by the BJP government to the effect that the party in Government need not submit the accounts? It seems probable seeing the large number of amendments being presented in the parliament by the new government.

The assembly elections in Maharashtra have evoked national interest. The major news in the last two days have been related to the result of the elections and how BJP will form the government etc. The seats won by the BJP, Shiv Sena, Congress and NCP are well published and known. But what about CPI(M)? No news at all.
But interestingly one CPI(M) candidate has also won. He is Com. J.P.Gavit from the Kanwan Assembly(ST) seat. This is in Nashik District. CPI(M) is winning the seat for the 7th time.
Our Congratulations to Com. Gavit and CPI(M) for the victory.

The First family has failed again. In Maharashtra and Haryana, where elections have been held, the Congress, which was the ruling party has been relegated to a poor third!
Years of anti-poor policies, favouring the corporates, Himalayan Corruptions, belief in the infallibility of first family, poor governance and what not ? The party which led the struggle for freedom and which ruled the country for about six decades has almost lost relevance in the larger politics of India. The First Family always considered the Family and its cahoots forst and not the country and its progress.
A deserving punishment indeed!
