9 The one election idea is a farce Case for holding simultaneous elections in the diverse, federal Indian polity is weak Address on National Law Day 2017, PM Narendra Modi - one nation one election Mr. Modi - four reasons: 1)-Massive expenditure; 2)-Diversion of security and civil staff from primary duties; 3)-Impact on governance due to the model code of conduct, and 4)-Disruption to normal public life. The cost factor The Election Commission incurs a total cost of roughly 8,000 crore to conduct all State and federal elections in a span of five years, or roughly 1,500 crore every year. Nearly 600 million Indians vote in India s elections, which means, it costs 27 per voter per year to keep India an electoral democracy. Is this a massive expense? Surely, 0.05% of India s total annual expenditure is not a large price to pay for the pride of being the world s largest and most vibrant electoral democracy. The notion that elections are prohibitively expensive is false and misleading.

10 Continue Code of conduct and polls If India is indeed embarking on a path of cooperative federalism as the PM also claims, then more such projects will be undertaken by each State and not by the Centre. So, why should elections in one State hinder governance in the rest of the States? The solution is to reform the code and not the electoral cycle. Real reason is that the two national parties are excessively dependent on their national leaders campaigns in State elections, as seen in Gujarat Voter behaviour My research on all simultaneous elections to State Assemblies and Parliament between 1999 and 2014 shows that simultaneous elections do have an impact on voter behaviour. In 77% of these constituencies, voters chose the same political party for both State and Centre Political autonomy Today, any elected State government can choose to dissolve its Assembly and call for fresh elections- If elections are to be held simultaneously, States will have to give up this power and wait for a national election schedule.

11 Today- Question words Simultaneous elections may be logistical advantageous but raise concerns on sanctity of democratic processes. Comment

12 Stand up against torture India has undermined its prestige by repeatedly promising and failing to ratify Convention Against Torture Convention Against Torture (CAT) came into force in 1987 and India signed it in Today, the CAT has 162 state parties; 83 are signatories. In refusing to ratify the CAT, India is in the inglorious company of Angola, the Bahamas, Brunei, Gambia, Haiti, Palau, and Sudan. In 2008, at the universal periodical review by the Human Rights Council (HRC)-India s response was that ratification was being processed India s NHRC had reported a significant number of torture cases involving police and security organisations. Again this year,at the universal periodical review, India reiterated its commitment to ratify the CAT -India has been making promises but doesn t seem intent on keeping them torture cases have escalated in India- In Raghbir Singh v. State of Haryana (1980), Shakila Abdul Gafar Khan v. Vasant Raghunath Dhoble (2003) Munshi Singh Gautam v. State of M.P. (2004)

13 A step forward Prevention of Torture Bill, 2010 was an excellent attempt by Parliament to draft new legislation. Which focusses on 1)-Murder and broken bones (grievous hurt), 2)-Torture was expanded to include food deprivation, 3)-Forcible feeding, 4)-Sleep deprivation, 5)-Sound bombardment, 6)-Electric shocks, 7)-Cigarette burning, and other forms. The Bill was allowed to lapse. Law Commission of India was considering the issue implementing its promises made to the UN, the government has undermined India s prestige- To be a world power, India must act like one

14 Bail-in doubts Financial Resolution and Deposit Insurance Bill, Introduced in Parliament this August, it has caused great anxiety about the safety of funds parked by millions of households in bank deposits fears that it will enable banks to be bailed in by depositors funds rather than being bailed out by taxpayers (or potential buyers) The government has promised a 2.11 lakh crore recapitalisation plan for public sector banks t hat are now taking haircuts on defaulted loans being put through Insolvency and Bankruptcy A bail-in is rescuing(बच व) a financial institution on the brink of failure by making its creditors and depositors take a loss on their holdings. A bail-in is the opposite of a bail-out, which involves the rescue of a financial institution by external parties, typically governments using taxpayers money. Mr. Jaitley said a lot of corrections could still take place The Bill proposes the scrapping of the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (s et up in the early 1960s in the aftermath of the collapse of two banks), which guarantees repayment of bank deposits up to 1 lakh in case a bank is liquidated.
