WhatsApp, social media influencers emerge as go to campaign mediums as parties sound poll bugle

WhatsApp, social media influencers emerge as go to campaign mediums as parties sound poll bugle As the country gears up for the world's biggest electoral exercise, messaging platforms like WhatsApp and social media influencers have emerged as the go to mediums for political parties to influence voter psychology, ad gurus and political analysts say. In the run-up to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, political parties are extensively using social media to propagate their achievements and seek support from voters. How Parties Are Wooing Voters? The BJP is trying to engage with the voters by sending them a personalised 'Letter from the Prime Minister' on WhatsApp which has over 500 million active users monthly in India highlighting the achievements of the Narendra Modi government and seeking feedback from voters. The party launched the website 'My First Vote For Modi,' which allows visitors to pledge to vote for Modi and submit a video stating the reason behind their choice. The website also hosts several short videos highlighting the development work done under the NDA government. On the other hand, the Congress runs a Rahul Gandhi WhatsApp group in which the leader is said to interact with people and respond to their queries. The circulation of WhatsApp information is monitored at the district level to ensure it reaches the masses and corrects the party's voter base. ''Whichever political party has higher WhatsApp groups under its banner can communicate faster and better with the voters. It helps them to highlight their achievements instantly with a large user base and influence the voters by drawing parallels with the opposition,'' Amitabh Tiwari, an election analyst and commentator, said. According to Tiwari, Facebook, once the most preferred platform for social media campaigning, has seen a downslide due to many restrictions on advertisements on political pages. Facebook boasts 366.9 million users according to Statistica, a data-gathering and visualisation platform. ''Parties opt for social media platforms which help them connect with the masses instantly without much restrictions and have a large user base. There are many other platforms like Instagram or Twitter, which cater to a specific audience and have different formats,'' he said. According to the data from the Election Commission, the Bharatiya Janata Party spent a total of Rs 325 crore for media advertisement (print and electronic, bulk SMS, cable website, TV channel, etc) during the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, while Congress incurred an expenditure of Rs 356 crore. Post-Pandemic Boom In Social Media After the COVID-19 pandemic, perspective towards social media as a tool of information significantly changed, Ankit Lal, founder of Politique Advisor and former IT Cell head of Aam Aadmi Party, said. ''Many political parties now adopt a digital-first strategy for their poll campaigns to connect with the voters who heavily depend on social media to get information. Social media influencers have become another important medium through which parties try to influence the floating audience of those who do not vote but engage in consuming the narratives,'' he said. Social Media Influencers Take The Lead In the last few months, several political leaders have appeared on YouTube channels of popular social media influencers to connect with the younger audience. BJP leaders like S Jaishankar, Smriti Irani, Piyush Goyal, and Rajeev Chandrasekhar have given interviews to podcaster Ranveer Allahabadia, who has over 7 million followers on YouTube. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also joined Kamia Jani, founder of Curly Tales, a travel and food video podcast, for a candid conversation over a meal. In the 2014 general election, BJP had the first mover's advantage in utilising social media for election campaigning as many leaders were not there on these platforms, Tiwari said. ''Because others (opposition) didn't realise the importance of social media for campaigning then, the ruling party was able to create more impact,'' he said. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi joined X in 2015 (when it was still Twitter) and has 25.1 million followers. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who joined X in 2009, is followed by 96.3 million people. Effect Of Social Media Campaigning On Poll Results Explaining the importance of social media campaigning on poll results, Lal said, ''With the internet penetration of 40 per cent, in an assembly constituency of an average of two lakh people, it is possible to influence 75,000 to 80,000 people through digital mediums. Even a difference of 5,000 votes is a good win-loss margin in any assembly election.'' Other analysts, however, have their doubts about the power of social media to turn people into voters. It requires more analysis and research, they say. Chambi Puranik, professor of political science and a poll analyst, said election campaigns on social media may not influence the opinions of traditional voters or party supporters who have their loyalties fixed. He said loyalty factors such as caste and local affiliation weigh far more for traditional voters as the elections come closer. ''The popularity, credibility and charisma of the party face contesting in the election also swing the voters.'' The Need For Regulations Meanwhile, highlighting the need to regulate social media campaigning by parties, former chief election commissioner of India SY Quraishi said that the EC should speak to tech companies to strengthen their mechanism to take down reported posts that violate the rules of the poll body. Do Electoral Bonds Make A Difference? Tiwari observed that the money spent by parties for campaigns does not necessarily impact who wins or loses. Various factors contribute here, including the party's face, public image, and issues raised by the party, among others, he said. On Thursday, the Election Commission published data on electoral bonds bought between April 2019 and February 2024. According to the data, the BJP received the highest contributions, Rs 6,566 crore or 54.77 per cent, through the bonds, followed by the Congress, which received Rs 1,123 crore or 9.37 per cent of the total.

Why I won't recommend buying a TVS Apache RR310 in Tier 2/3 towns

BHPian Nostrings0607 recently shared this with other enthusiasts. This is purely opinion based on REAL EXPERIENCE. So, I have owned a TVS Apache RR310 since October 2019 My experiences with the bike ALONE have been great without any complaints. it never fails to make me smile every time I take it out and in a tier 2/3 town, it will amaze you with the looks people will give her still even after so many years since it came out. Now to address the main issue why I'm writing this thread and I'm sure most of you have guessed already it's the after-sales service. Now I'll admit the bike isn't driven daily and in fact not much at all on any comparable standard so I've not had any major breakdown in all my years of ownership until December last week of 2023 but we'll get back on it because boy it's a story, anyway even general and regular services you could tell that TVS techs are almost going through motions and are either incapable or would not do something out the ordinary to what they were taught in workshops they don't indulge in inquisitive conversations in fact on many instances you're not even allowed in the service bay which for an offering like RR310 that is catered to enthusiasts is a no brainer but regardless of how the services were I took it. A little background: I bought the bike in Lucknow Uttar Pradesh in 2019 from a dealership that now closed down and back in 2023 I moved back to Prayagraj erstwhile Allahabad Uttar Pradesh as it's my home town along with the bike. NOW THE REAL STORY STARTS. So last week of December I woke up to my mother telling me that there seemed to be a leak on my bike, I pretty much guessed it would be the front USD shocks and it really sealed on the front shocks now, since it's a thing that every USD shock owner has to deal with eventually I wasn't bothered and this was the first time spare parts would be added so next day I went to a nearby TVS dealer who services and sells RR310's and we checked that the part wasn't available and that the dealer would order it for me and I could come back later whenever they call, fast forward 2024 first week I get no calls and I am caught up with work so I finally reach out to the dealer on 8 January when I get the time and they tell me that part is on order and it'll reach momentarily and they'll call me back, a week passes by no call I reach out again and the same thing that it'll take time, I then try to find out through other dealers if I can get the work done there. So in Allahabad, 5 dealers sell and service RR310 and no one has a simple fork oil seal, 4 of these just refused to help even the one that I went to the first time around (they simply suggested checking another dealer) now no one had the part in stock and this is an oil seal mind you something that's a common point of failure and so I complained to TVS on Twitter and they reached out to me on 3 different occasions over 2 weeks and have yet to provide me with a resolution last time they reached out they said it'll take 2-3 more days and that was on 3 February and just today I got a call that you can expect the repair to be done on 13 Feb instead now. And it's just really disappointing to see that a minor oil seal failure has caused the bike to be out of service for over a month and given the trend of things it'll probably reach the two-month mark. My point in all this is a fork oil seal is something that is bound to fail eventually no matter how well maintained you keep your bike and there's a fair number of RR310s out in Allahabad to have been stuck so long without such a common part just goes to tell you what kind of service TVS has on offer for small-town buyers. Also, some of you might ask so I'll clear it up I didn't get it done from an FNG by sourcing the part online because I don't think it's a good idea in a town like mine to get it done from a third party. Now to end this is there some other approach I can take to all this and what can I do to make TVS understand that this behaviour is not right? Suggestions would be welcome Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.

Let us know about these temples... Salasar Hanuman Temple, Rajasthan People relate the unique idol of Hanuman ji with beard and mustache by the name of Salasar wale Hanuman ji. This temple is located in Salasar village in Churu district of Rajasthan.

It is believed that the idol of Makardhwaj in the temple used to be smaller than that of Hanumanji, but now both idols have become equally tall. It is also believed that Ahiravana had hidden Lord Shri Ram-Lakshman at this place. When Hanumanji came to take Shri Ram-Lakshman, he had a fierce fight with Makardhwaj. At last, Bajrangbali defeated him and tied him to his tail. Hanuman Dhara, Chitrakoot This Hanuman temple is situated near a place called Sitapur in Uttar Pradesh and the distance of Hanuman Dhara from Sitapur is three kilometers. There are two water ponds right near the head of a huge idol of Hanumanji on the support of the mountain, which is always filled with water and water keeps flowing from them continuously. The water of this stream flows touching Hanumanji, that is why it is called Hanuman Dhara. Hanuman Temple, Allahabad Adjacent to the Allahabad Fort, this temple is an ancient temple with the statue of Lord Hanuman lying down. In this Hanuman Ji is lying down. The statue is 20 feet tall. When there is a flood during the rains, the temple gets submerged, then the idol is moved somewhere else and kept safe. Ulte Hanumanji Temple, Indore This religious place is located only 30 km away from India's religious city Ujjain, where Lord Hanuman ji is worshiped in an inverted form. The upside-down idol of Lord Hanuman decorated with vermilion is present in the temple. Sanwer's Hanuman temple is an important place for Hanuman devotees.

Mehndipur Balaji, Rajasthan There is a place called Mehndipur situated between two hills near the Dausa district of Rajasthan. This temple is about 65 kilometers from Jaipur on the Jaipur-Bandikui bus route. Due to its location in the valley between two hills, it is also called Ghata Mehandipur. This temple is about 1 thousand years old. Here the figure of Hanuman himself had emerged in the rock. This is considered to be the form of Shri Hanuman ji. Yantrodharak Hanuman Temple, Hampi The Hanumanji enshrined in the temple of Hampi in Bellary district is called Yantrodharak Hanuman. According to scholars, this area is the ancient city of Kishkindha. Description of this place is found in Valmiki Ramayana and Ramcharit Manas. Even today there are many caves here.

SC collegium recommends six advocates for appointment as Judges of Kerala HC

SC collegium recommends six advocates for appointment as Judges of Kerala HC The Supreme Court Collegium has recommended the names of six advocates, including Manoj Pulamby Madhavan for appointment as judges of the High Court of Kerala, trashing the Centre's inputs on Madhavan. On March 12, the Collegium resolved to recommend that advocates Abdul Hakhim Mullappally Abdul Aziz, Syam Kumar Vadakke Mudavakkat, Harisankar Vijayan Menon, Manu Sreedharan Nair, Easwaran Subramani, and Manoj Pulamby Madhavan be appointed as judges of the High Court of Kerala and said that their inter se seniority would be fixed as per the existing practice. The Supreme Court Collegium, which has recommended advocate Manoj Pulamby Madhavan to be appointed as Kerala High Court judge along with the the the other five judges, called Department of Justice input that candidate Manoj Pulamby Madhavan is considered to be a CPI(M) sympathizer as extremely vague. The SC collegium said the input that an advocate Manoj Pulamby Madhavan is considered to be a CPI(M) sympathizer is vague and bereft of cogent grounds. Drawing example of appointment of Justice Victoria Gowri as Madras HC's judge,SC collegium said in the recent past, an Advocate has been appointed as a Judge of the High Court though she was an office bearer of a political party prior to her elevation. Justice Lekshmana Chandra Victoria Gowri was appointed as an Additional Judge of the Madras High Court in February 2023. The collegium has taken note of the inputs provided by the Department of Justice that advocate Manoj Pulamby Madhavan is considered to be a CPI(M) sympathizer. Advocate Manoj Pulamby Madhavan was appointed as Government Pleader in 2010 and 2016-2021 by the LDF Government. The above input that the candidate is considered to be a CPI (M) sympathizer is extremely vague. Similarly, the fact that he was appointed as a government pleader in 2010 and 2016-2021 by the LDF government does not constitute a valid reason to reject his candidature. As a matter of fact, the appointment of the candidate as a government pleader would indicate that he would have acquired sufficient experience in handling cases where the state is a party in diverse branches of law. The input that the candidate is considered to be a CPI (M) sympathizer is otherwise vague and bereft of cogent grounds. Even otherwise, the mere fact that the candidate has had a political background may not be a sufficient reason in all cases, the collegium said. The input that the candidate (advocate Madhavan) is considered to be a CPI (M) sympathizer is otherwise vague and bereft of cogent grounds. Even otherwise, the mere fact that the candidate has a political background may not be a sufficient reason in all cases. For example, in the recent past, an advocate has been appointed as a judge of the High Court, though she was an office bearer of a political party prior to her elevation, the collegium resolution said. The candidate (advocate Madhavan), being a SC candidate with sufficient practice at the bar, is worthy of being appointed as a Judge of the High Court. His performance having been observed by the members of the Collegium of the High Court who had the occasion to observe his competence and conduct as a lawyer, their opinion should be given due weight. The Collegium is, therefore, of the view that the candidate is fit and suitable for appointment as a Judge of the High Court, said the collegium resolution passed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud along with justices Sanjiv Khanna and B R Gavai. According to resolution, advocate Madhavan belongs to a Scheduled Caste, he has 35 reported judgments of the High Court where he has appeared and has a professional income of Rs. 9.57 lakhs. The collegium resolution also said that the other five advocates are fit and suitable for appointment as judges of the high court, as it noted that inputs provided in the file indicate that the other five advocates enjoy a good personal and professional image and nothing adverse has come to notice with regard to their integrity. In a separate resolution, the Supreme Court Collegium has recommended that eleven additional judges of the High Court of Bombay, be appointed as permanent judges of the Bombay High Court. The name include Justice Urmila Sachin Joshi-Phalke, Justice Bharat Pandurang Deshpande, Justice Kishore Chandrakant Sant, Justice Valmiki S A Menezes, Justice Kamal Rashmi Khata, Justice Sharmila Uttamrao Deshmukh, Justice Arun Ramnath Pedneker, Justice Sandeep Vishnupant Marne, Justice Gauri Vinod Godse, Justice Rajesh Shantaram Patil, and Justice Arif Saleh Doctor. Meanwhile, in another resolution, the Supreme Court Collegium has recommended that five Additional Judges of the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, be appointed as permanent Judges of that High Court, whose name include Justice Saurabh Srivastava, Justice Om Prakash Shukla, Justice Mohd. Azhar Husain Idrisi, Justice Jyotsna Sharma, and Justice Surendra Singh-I. Another resolution by the Supreme Court Collegium has recommended the name of Mohammad Yousuf Wani, a judicial officer, as a judge of the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. (ANI)

Former SC judge A M Khanwilkar sworn in as Lokpal chairperson

Former SC judge A M Khanwilkar sworn in as Lokpal chairperson Former Supreme Court judge Ajay Manikrao Khanwilkar was administered the oath of office as the chairperson of the anti-corruption ombudsman Lokpal by President Droupadi Murmu here on Sunday, nearly two years after the post fell vacant. The swearing-in ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhavan was attended by Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. President Murmu administered the oath of office of chairperson, Lokpal to Khanwilkar at a ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhavan Sunday evening, according to an official statement. Justice (retired) Khanwilkar was appointed as the Lokpal chairperson in the last week of February. The Lokpal was functioning without its regular chief since Pinaki Chandra Ghose completed his term on May 27, 2022. Chairperson of the Law Commission of India and former Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court Ritu Raj Awasthi, former Chief Justice of Himachal Pradesh High Court Lingappa Narayana Swamy and former Chief Justice of Allahabad High Court Sanjay Yadav were appointed as judicial members in the Lokpal last month. Justice (retired) Khanwilkar, 66, served as a judge of the apex court from May 13, 2016 to July 29, 2022. In his last year, Khanwilkar authored a series of crucial judgements that validated sweeping powers against citizens in special legislations the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act and the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Act. He also contributed to several other judgments, including the landmark 2018 ruling that struck down Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code criminalising consensual gay sex. He was in the Constitution bench that had declared the Centre's flagship Aadhaar scheme constitutionally valid but struck down some of its provisions, including linking it to bank accounts, mobile phones, and school admissions. Justice Khanwilkar was part of the bench in 2022 that dismissed a plea of Zakia Jafri, the wife of slain MP Ehsan Jafri, challenging the Special Investigation Team's (SIT) clean chit to 64 people, including then chief minister Narendra Modi, in the 2002 Gujarat riots case. Two days before his retirement, Justice Khanwilkar delivered a judgment that give enormous powers to the Enforcement Directorate under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Born in Pune, Khanwilkar had also been Chief Justice of the High Courts of Himachal Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. The chairperson and members of the Lokpal are appointed by the President after obtaining the recommendations of a Selection Committee having the prime minister as its chairperson. Apart from a chairperson, the Lokpal can have eight members -- four judicial and as many non-judicial. Former civil servants Sushil Chandra, Pankaj Kumar and Ajay Tirkey have been appointed as the non-judicial members in the Lokpal. The latest appointments in the anti-corruption ombudsman mark a significant step in bolstering the Lokpal's operations and upholding accountability in India's governance system, officials said.
