The great Indian election money game: A whopping Rs 18,742 crore spent, but where did it all go?
Bangalore: In an unprecedented financial spectacle, the 2024 Lok Sabha and four Vidhan Sabha elections in Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Odisha, and Sikkim witnessed an eye-popping expenditure of nearly Rs 1.5 lakh crores. Yet, the real question remains: Where did all this money go? Despite the Election Commission of India, mandating full disclosure of election expenditures, a shroud of secrecy still looms over the `actual figures.' While some parties have complied, the full financial truth remains hidden from the public eye. A recent study by the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative --CHRI, has brought to light shocking revelations about how political parties amassed and spent their war chests in the battle for power. The surprisingly large figures were: Rs 18,742.31 crores were at the disposal of just 22 political parties for election spending, A huge jaw-dropping Rs 3,861.57 crores were blown up in the high-stakes game of political warfare, Rs 7,416.31 crores were raised in donations alone, with BJP bagging a colossal 84.5% of the total amount, BJP declared the highest expenditure of Rs1,737.68 crores, accounting for more than 45% of the total amount spent. Check undue influence of money power in Indian elections: CFD Speaking to TNIE , Director CHRI, Mr Venkatesh Nayak said, ``It appears that money power is important here and look at the role the media has played: Rs 992.48 crores were splurged on media advertisements, covering print, TV, and digital platforms, Rs 196.23 crores were dedicated to social media and virtual campaigns, with just seven parties disclosing such expenses, Rs 830.15 crores were spent on the extravagant travel of star campaignershelicopters and private jets ruled the skies, Rs 398.49 crores went into flashy banners, posters, hoardings, and promotional materials to flood every street and household. Asked about the source of money he said, ``There are many unanswered questions: At the end of the elections, a staggering Rs 14,848.46 crores remained in party coffers. Where will this surplus money go? Six political parties, including BJP, ended up with more money than they started with! How did this happen?, Several prominent partiesCommunist Party of India, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, Shiv Sena, and Shiromani Akali Dalhavent even disclosed their expenditures. and asked if they were hiding something?. Summing up he said, it is clear that someone pays the price, ``With such astronomical figures in play, one thing is clearelections in India are no longer just about democracy; they are a high-stakes financial battleground. As politicians revel in their multi-crore campaigns, the common voter is left wondering: where does all this money come from, and who benefits in the end?'' The truth behind this mega-financial drama remains obscured, but one thing is certainmoney, not just votes, plays a decisive role in shaping India's political destiny. Will the ECI crack down on non-compliance, or will this cycle of money power and secrecy continue unabated?

Union Minister Amit Shah announces 'significant progress' in resolving Northeast issues
NEW DELHI: Union Home Minister Amit Shah informed the Upper House of Parliament on Friday that the government has made significant progress in addressing the issues in the Northeast and is now on the verge of resolving the problem. In response to a discussion on the workings of the Home Ministry, Shah stated that there has been a 70% reduction in violent incidents in the region, a 72% decrease in casualties among security personnel, and an 85% reduction in civilian casualties. Since assuming power, the government has initiated talks with all armed groups. Since 2019, 12 major peace agreements have been signed. He listed these agreements, including the 2020 agreement with the NLFT (National Liberation Front of Tripura), the 2021 agreement with the Bru-Reang community, the Karbi agreement, agreements with tribal organisations, and an interstate border agreement between Assam and Meghalaya in 2022. Additionally, agreements have been signed with DNLA, UNLF, and ULFA, along with an interstate border agreement between Assam and Arunachal Pradesh in 2023. The agreements with Tipra, NLFT, and ATTFA in 2024 further demonstrate the governments ongoing peace efforts in the region. Shah mentioned that a total of 10,900 youths had surrendered their weapons and reintegrated into the mainstream. In Bodoland, thousands of young people have embraced the path of development, pursuing education in their native language and practising their own religion. Reflecting on the Bodoland Accord, which was once dismissed as ineffective, Shah noted that the situation has since transformed considerably. He pointed out that agreements worth Rs 5 lakh crore have been signed to boost investment in Assam, a state where industrial growth had once seemed unlikely. With peace now established, Assam is experiencing significant progress. Furthermore, the jurisdiction of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) in the Northeast has been reduced by 70%,he said. Shah also discussed the Bru-rehabilitation agreement, which provided permanent settlement for the displaced Bru-Reang community who had fled Mizoram and taken refuge in Tripura. Under the agreement, all 37,000 Bru-Reang families have been allocated 150-yard houses, along with essential amenities such as community buildings, schools, and medical stores. Moreover, he said that two youths from each family have been trained in skill development, helping them to pursue self-employment. Reflecting on his recent visit to Tripura, the Union Home Minister remarked that he had visited the same region five years ago and that the transformation over the past eight months had been remarkable. He noted that the Bru-Reang community has made significant progress.
Tribal arts festival in Kerala turns melting pot of cultures
MANANTHAVADY: Over the past two nights, the Valliyoorkavu temple premises in Mananthavady witnessed an extravagant gathering of tribal artists. Not just from Wayanad district but from different parts of the country. If anything, Gothraparvam-2025 proved a melting pot of tribal cultures, filled with traditional tribal arts, music, dance, and more. More than 200 artists participated in the event organised by various tribal organisations on Thursday and Friday. Tribal dance forms from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh and Kerala, such as mangalam kali, kolkali, vattakkali, kambalanatti, gaddika, toda dance, kotha dance, Arunachal dance and kaikottikkali enlivened the event. Gothraparvam-2025 is the first edition of a national tribal art conclave. And the two-day festival showcasing dance forms is a part of the conclave, programme coordinator Santhosh V K told TNIE. The event was organised by a collective of different organisations and trusts, like the Vanavasi Vikas Kendra, Vanavasi Ashramam Life Charitable Trust, Wayanad Paithruka Samrakshana Karma Samithi, and the Peoples Action for Educational and Economic Development of Tribal People, working for the welfare of scheduled tribes. Kerala Governor Rajendra Arlekar had inaugurated Gothraparvam on March 9, after which two seminars were conducted as part of the event. Gothraparvam aims at the welfare of the tribal community through increased awareness in economic stability, health, and higher education. The tribal community in Wayanad district still suffers from diseases like sickle cell anaemia, Santhosh said. The opening day saw art forms like kolkali by the Kurichiya tribe from Kannur and mangalam kali by the Mavilan tribe from Kasaragod. On Friday, the toda dance, kotha dance, and the Arunachal dance were performed by artists representing other states. As many as 11 tribes presented their traditional arts forms over two days. One speciality of traditional tribal arts forms is that they are presented by a large group of people. The event featured dance forms presented by 30 members. We want more platforms like Gothraparvam to explore traditional tribal arts forms further. Though there are professional dance troupes, Gothraparvam gave amateur artists a chance to perform, said Raju, a Paniya tribesman.

Centre following principles of Major Khathing who integrated Tawang into India, says Rajnath
NEW DELHI: Addressing the fifth edition of the Major Bob Khathing Memorial event jointly organised by the Indian Army, Assam Rifles and United Services Institution of India (USI) here to honour the life and legacy of the legendary figure, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said the government's foreign policy is based on the diplomatic skills of personalities like him. Today, India is maintaining a balance between its hard power and soft power amidst the prevailing uncertainties in the multipolar world. It is a matter of great pride that India has strengthened its global position. A new, strong and organised India has emerged before the world. There was a time when India was not taken seriously on international forums. But today, when we speak, the world listens. This is inspired by the ideals of Major Khathing, he said. As per the USI in 1951, Major Khathing led a mission to Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh, effectively integrating it into India by establishing administrative control and securing peace. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has called upon the people to always put the nation first, remain united, discharge the duties with honesty, and move fearlessly towards achieving their goals, which were the core principles of Major Bob Khathing, an extraordinary figure who made invaluable contributions to the North-East region and national security. The Defence Minister commended Major Khathing's role in integrating, developing and rebuilding not only Tawang but the entire North-East region. Major Bob Khathing made a significant contribution in strengthening national unity. The work he carried out for the North-East is similar to what Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel did at the national level, he said. The Defence Minister added that Major Bob Khathing efficiently carried out the integration of Tawang into India without firing a single bullet, and the government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, follows the principles of such revolutionaries. Rajnath Singh highlighted the administrative proficiency of Major Khathing, especially his contribution in the formation of Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) & Nagaland Armed Police and other such reforms. Rajnath Singh expressed satisfaction over the fact that India is touching greater heights due to the organisational skills imbibed from personalities like Major Khathing. He stressed on the need to remain organised for India to transform into Viksit Bharat by 2047. It was in October 2024 that the Defence Minister had virtually inaugurated the Major Ralengnao 'Bob' Khathing 'Museum of Valour' in Tawang. Rajnath Singh lauded the will and courage of the residents of the North-East region who continue to contribute to nation building despite living in challenging conditions. During the event, Rajnath Singh visited a specially curated photo gallery showcasing Major Bob Khathing's remarkable achievements and enduring legacy. He also attended the screening of a film depicting the pivotal moments of Major Khathing's life and service. The event was also attended by Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu, Member of Parliament Alfred Kanngam Arthur, Chief of the Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi, Chief of the Air Staff Air Chief Marshal AP Singh, Director General Assam Rifles Lt Gen Vikas Lakhera and DG, USI Maj Gen BK Sharma (Retd). A keynote address titled 'Deciphering Implications of Major Bob Khathing's Expedition to Tawang' was delivered by former DG, Assam Rifles Lt Gen PC Nair (Retd). His address provided deep insights into the strategic ramifications of Major Khathing's expedition and its lasting impact on national security. John Khathing, son of Major Bob Khathing, shared heartfelt reminiscences about his father's remarkable life and legacy, adding a personal dimension to the commemoration. The event also featured vibrant cultural performances by troupes showcasing the rich and diverse heritage of North-East.

Manipur cases to be tried in Guwahati: SC
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday said the trial of the Manipur ethnic violence cases, probed by the CBI, would be conducted in Assam capital Guwahati, where they were transferred to earlier. We clarify that the trial of transferred Cases will be held before the courts at Guwahati, a three-judge bench, headed by Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna, said and posted the matter for further hearing to July 21. The apex court also extended till July 31 the tenure of a committee headed by Justice Gita Mittal, the former chief justice of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court. The committee, also comprising former Bombay HC judge Shalini P Joshi and former Delhi HC judge Asha Menon, was set up on August 7, 2023 by the top court to oversee relief and rehabilitation of the Manipur ethnic violence victims. During the hearing on Monday, the apex court also directed the Manipur government to provide details such as buildings burnt or partially burnt, buildings looted, buildings trespassed or encroached upon. The bench noted the submissions of a lawyer over the fate of the trials in the cases that were transferred to Guwahati for pre-trial proceedings on August 25, 2023. Keeping in mind the overall environment in Manipur and the need for ensuring a fair process of criminal justice administration, the SC transferred to Assam 27 cases with various offences, including the case of sexual assault of two women seen in a viral video being paraded naked. While passing directions, the top court had directed the Gauhati High Court chief justice to nominate one or more judicial officers to deal with the transferred cases.

Supreme Court gives three months to Centre for delimitation exercise in northeast
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday granted three months to the Centre for carrying out the delimitation exercise in Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur and Assam. A bench headed by Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna noted the request of Centre's solicitor general Tushar Mehta, who sought some more time. The bench then deferred the hearing to July 21 and asked the Centre to do the needful within three months. The top court had previously raised concerns over the delay in carrying out the delimitation exercise in these states despite a 2020 presidential order rescinding the deferment of the process. Once the president rescinds the notification, that is enough to proceed with the delimitation exercise. Where does the government come in? the bench asked as it told the Centre's counsel to seek instructions. The Centre said while consultations were underway for Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland, the ongoing violence in Manipur made the situation unconducive. The bench was hearing a plea filed by the Delimitation Demand Committee for the State of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur and Nagaland in North East India. The plea sought immediate implementation of the delimitation exercise in these states. Advocate G Gangmei, representing the petitioner, had said the President's 2020 order made the exercise legally mandatory. He said two years had passed since the writ petition was filed, but no concrete steps were taken to initiate delimitation in Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, and Manipur. Assam alone saw progress, with delimitation completed in August 2023 following an order from the Ministry of Law and Justice, Gangmei added. The Election Commission of India maintained that specific directions from the Central government were required to begin delimitation under Section 8A of the Representation of the People Act, 1950. The petition cited the presidential order of February 28, 2020, which allowed delimitation in the four northeastern states, along with the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. It alleged selective denial of delimitation in these states, claiming a violation of the fundamental right to equality under Article 14 of the Constitution. The plea highlighted that despite decades of elections being conducted peacefully in these states, no delimitation took place since the amendment of the Delimitation Act in 2002. The lack of action left the northeastern states at a disadvantage compared to the rest of the country, it added.

Modi brought peace, development in Assam: Union Home Minister Amit Shah
GUWAHATI: Union home minister Amit Shah on Saturday said the Congress had pushed Assam into the flames of riots, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi restored peace and developed the state. Addressing a gathering after inaugurating the first phase of revamped Lachit Barphukan Police Academy in Dergaon, Shah highlighted that various accords signed with the insurgent groups under the Modi government helped restore peace in Assam. He also mentioned the agreements that Assam signed with Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh for resolution of border disputes. More than 10,000 youth laid down arms in the last ten years and joined the mainstream. There was a time when discussions about Assam revolved around agitation, firing, and insurgency. Now, a Rs 27,000 crore semiconductor unit is being set up in the state. It will change Assams future, the home minister said. Referring to the recently-held Advantage Assam 2.0 business summit, he said with conviction that a majority of the MoUs signed would become a reality. MoUs worth Rs 5.18 lakh crore were signed during the summit. Additionally, Centre is coming up with projects worth Rs 3 lakh crore for Assams development, he said. During the ten years of Congress rule, Assam received Rs 1.27 lakh crore as devolution grant and grant-in-aid. It went up to Rs 4.95 lakh crore during the ten years of Modi Jis government. I want to ask the Congress why it pushed Assam into the flames of riots, did not give grants and build infrastructure, and did not allow peace to come, Shah said. He said it was under the Modi government that Assam witnessed the return of peace and the building of infrastructure. The home minister commended Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for naming the police academy after Ahom General Lachit Borphukan who had defeated the invading Mughals. I was aged 7 years when I was taught about Lachit Borphukan. I did not find him in any syllabus till graduation. He was kept confined to Assam. Today, his biography has been translated into 23 languages. The books are available in libraries across the country and inspiring children, Shah said. He was confident the police academy will become number 1 in the country within the next five years. Its work will be completed in three phases at a total cost of Rs 1,050 crore, he said. During his speech, Shah reminisced the harsh treatment he received in jail for resisting the Congress government. I have been coming to Assam since I was a student. (Hiteswar) Saikia Ji was the chief minister and we used to chant the slogan Assam ki gaaliyan suni hai, Indira Gandhi khooni hai.' I was caned by the Congress government in Guwahati, he told the gathering. Saikia served as CM from 1983 to 1985 and from 1991 to 1996. I had jail food for seven days in Assam. People from all over the country had come to save the state. Assam has seen a long spell of agitation thereafter, he added.

Opposed to Freedom of Religion Act, Christians in Arunachal warn of referendum rally
GUWAHATI: The protest against the Arunachal Pradesh Freedom of Religion Act (APFRA), 1978, is getting intensified with thousands of Christians holding a peaceful demonstration on Thursday, demanding its repeal. The Arunachal Christian Forum (ACF), the states largest Christian organisation, which is spearheading the protest, warned of a referendum rally. If APFRA is not repealed within this month, we will organise a referendum rally, ACF president Tarh Miri told this newspaper, adding that, If the Act is not repealed, it should be kept dormant like what it was. He alleged APFRA violates the freedom of accepting a faith and religious belief. Earlier, ACF Secretary General James Techi Tara warned that the enforcement of APFRA would create hatred among people. Changing faith is ones own choice, he said. The ACF claimed that over 1 lakh people had turned up at the rally which was organised at Naharlagun near the state capital Itanagar. The ACF had plans to organise it in Itanagar but authorities denied permission as the budget session of the state Assembly began on Thursday. While the Christians in the state stand opposed to APFRA, the indigenous faith believers, however, endorse it. They also took to the streets recently demanding its early implementation. They demonstrated their solidarity with the state government for its move to implement the Act by organising a Sadbhavna Pad Yatra at Doimukh. This Act was introduced in 1978 for the welfare of the indigenous tribal society. Despite repeated requests, it has not been implemented yet, lamented Pai Dawe, president of the Indigenous Faith and Cultural Society of Arunachal Pradesh. Earlier, the state government stated that APFRA would be implemented in deference to a directive of the Gauhati High Court. The court asked the government to finalise the Acts draft rules within six months from September 2024. Chief Minister Pema Khandu said the draft rules were not against any religion. The Act was introduced to safeguard the traditional religious practices of indigenous communities from external influence or coercion. However, it was never implemented. Indigenous faith believers, Christians and Buddhists are Arunachals three major communities.

Stating that the Act was passed in the Assembly within four months of its maiden session and it subsequently got the Presidential assent, he lamented that successive governments gave lip service by committing to stand for the welfare of tribals.
