Delhi Election 2013

Complete Report
A record 66 per cent of around 1.2 crore voters exercised their franchise on 4th December in the Delhi assembly election.


On December 8, final results were made public.

Final Results

AAP                          :  28

BJP                            : 32

Congress                    : 8

Others                        : 2

Total                          : 70


  • As clear none of the parties are in position to attain a natural majority (min of 36 seats)
  • Moreover each of the party has made it very clear that they won't try to form government via coalition.
  • If no party can agree to form a coalition government, Delhi would be put under president's rule until a new election is held within six months.
  • Delhi Lieutenant-Governor Najeeb Jung dissolved the Legislative Assembly and forwarded the resignation of Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit to President Pranab Mukherjee. 
  • With the Aam Aadmi Party  winning over 28 of the 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly elections, the Election Commission is all set to recognise it as a ‘State party.’
    To get recognition as a State party, all the candidates set up by the party together should get a minimum of eight per cent of the valid votes polled in the entire State or secure a minimum of six per cent of the total votes polled and one Assembly seat for every 25 seats in that State.
Quotes(who said what?):
  • Anna Hazare advises Kejriwal not to take support from any party in Delhi. 
  • Kiran Bedi tweets: "Aap was born when Congress refused to set up an SIT on Coalgate in July 2011!Had it done so! Aap may not have been there today to beat them!" 
  • Kiran Bedi also advised that BJP and AAP should come together to form a strong government in Delhi
  • This is not mine but people's victory, Arvind Kejriwal tells supporters. 
  • Arvind also said that AAP is ready for reelections 
  • I thank my constituents of Krishna Nagar, says Dr Harsh Vardhan. He further congratulated AAP for its performance and thanked Sheila Dixit for having served Delhi for 15 years. 
  •  Sheila Dikshit says
    : "We have to analyse what went wrong." She said she accepts election results with due respect and further thanked everyone for their support for 15 years. Asked whether she failed to read the public mood, she sarcastically said, "Bewakoof hai na hum?" ("We are idiots") 
  • Aam Aadmi Party's victory forces us to think politics in a way different from the traditional way the major parties have been doing, says Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi.

ANTI-AAP Phone calls

Just a day after the Election Commission announced the poll dates for Delhi (, 4th december 2013.) a recorded phone call against Arvind Kejriwal and AAP is being witnessed.

A Caller named Sri Om claims to be from no party and says that he used to work with India Against Corruption when Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal led the campaign together. 

He alleges that Kejriwal betrayed Anna by colluding with the Congress which helped him make his own political party with their backing and that therefore one should not vote for him.

Call comes from the number 0091 1409 711 885, which is not a dial back number.


This is what the caller says,
"Hi, I'm Sri Om. I used to work with India Against Corruption when Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal led the campaign. But Arvind Kejriwal colluded with the Congress and made his own political party with their backing. Arvind Kejriwal betrayed Anna. A person who can betray his own men can betray anyone. I therefore, request you not to vote for Kejriwal in the coming"


Editor's View: This call clarifies that some sort of intense planning is being done in order to demoralize the all the AAP's efforts towards Delhi elections.
It also proves that 'someone' is afraid of increasing popularity of AAP in Delhi.
And by 'someone' I surely mean some political party........
JLBC request the voters of Delhi to ignore this stupid call, only purpose of which is to divert the attention of votes from the actual perspective.

Barack Obama might meet Anna Hazare

US president Barack Obama may travel to Ralegan Siddhi to meet Anna Hazare this October during his visit to India.
In fact 
Prakash Shah, who is presently an advisor of the United Parcel Service, (UPS) Washington DC, and is believed to have served as the US president’s emissary for the possible visit, met Hazare at Ralegan Siddhi on June 1st.

According to 
 Datta Awari Anna's personal assistant,Prakash Shah has also taken Anna's book 'My Village My Pilgrimage’ after meeting him on June 1.

While there has been no confirmation from the US authorities yet, Hazare was told that Obama is likely to visit India in October and would like to meet him at his village where the US president could also see his work.
Even Obama has in the past praised the non-violent  anti corruption campaign launched by Anna.

In his speech to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) 
he mentioned non-violent protests in various parts of the world, including, seeking freedom and change. “We saw in those protesters the moral force of non-violence that has lit the world from Delhi to Warsaw, from Selma to South Africa,” said Obama. Although,he did not name Anna Hazare in particular in his speech but his point was clear.

Anna meets Arvind :complete report


Yestetday(29 march) Anna met Arvind who is on indefinite fast against inflated power and water bills in Delhi  for 8 days. Anna met him at the fast venue at 10:50 pm yesterday.

He suggested Arvind to call off his fast.

. "I told him we should not kill ourselves. These fasts are bringing awareness among people. People in the whole country have awakened now. In future, we will continue to tolerate till we can and then break the fast and once we regain health we should again stand up to fight. This is not a four-day battle. But a very long war," Anna said addressing the crowd at the fast venue.

"If a poor man gets a electricity bill of Rs 3,000-4,000, from where is he going to pay," Anna continued.

Arvind also thanked Anna for paying a visit.

Is there any media?

On 23rd March 2013 Kejrival began his fast against inflated power and water bills in Delhi.But most of the news channels didn't even informed the beginning of the fast.Spare the live coverage, there is not even the basic information of updates of fast projected on the channels.

If you are thinking that its because this is Kejrival's fast and not Anna's then hold your thoughts because the same thing happened in the July's fast last year when Team Anna was not dissolved and even Anna has participated in the fast.
In spite of  giving coverage to the agitation media is still broadcasting the JIVINI(life story) of Sanjay Dutt who has been sentenced to 5 years jail in crime of keeping illegal weapons and helping in 1993 Membai blasts.
This ignorance of media towards a particular case is not even unfair but also unconstitutional because as per our constitution its the duty of media to publish or broadcast any event that is politically or socially important.

If your think that our media is independent and cannot be influenced by someone to halt the coverage of certain event then you must again hold your thought, because if they are not slaves of some authority and cannot be forced then there is still an alternative to bribe them and shut their mouths.
Political lobbying is anther term that is used to link media with our politicians. Nira radia is an example of such lobbying.

Media nowadays is more about business and economy and less about social, political and moral reporting. Most of the news channels are owned by businessmen. This is not only the case of India, in fact it happens in most of the democratic countries.

Puppet players 
A general question arises who are the people behind the stage controlling these TRP eaters.

  • Tycoons: "Give me money, I promise you silence" is the slogan of media for Tycoons
  • Politicians: "With great power comes great approach"  is the slogan of media for politicians
  • TRP: "Coverage is directly proportional to TRP quotient"
Apart from these Justice Katju (Chairman of Press Council India) is also not in favor of such agitations.
When in 2012, once asked about Anna , Katju do said that  he respects Anna as a honest man but doesn't support his "unscientific ideology" and campaign. If Chairman of 
Press Council doesn't likes such campaigns then reports on such campaigns can be easily supressed!

Kejriwal begins indefinite fast against increased power, water bills in delhi


  • Arvind Kejriwal after visiting Raj Ghat and Shaheed Park in New Delhi  began his indefinite hunger strike at a house near the sub-divisional magistrate's office in Sundar Nagri area in east Delhi on Saturday(March 23) against increased power and water bills in the national capital. According to Kejriwal, the house owner had to borrow money to pay his water and electric bills.
  • Kejriwal said the lives of the common man have become miserable due to the rampant corruption.
  • Recalling Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi, Kejriwal said that his fast is aimed at uniting the citizens of the national capital so that they stand together and oppose the anti-people policies of the Delhi Government.
  • Taking on the Sheila Dikshit-led Congress Government in Delhi, Kejriwal yesterday alleged that 'this government is even worse than the British Government'.
  • They are urging the residents of Delhi not to pay the inflated electricity bills.(click here to see why bills are unfair)

Quotes 
"The price of electricity and water has been increased in Delhi only because of the corruption. The government was repeatedly told to do something in this regard, but it is grossed deep in corruption," said Kejrival

"The increase in the tariffs of electricity and water was due to corruption and the documents have already been presented in the public domain. Sheila Dikshit has nexus with electricity and water companies and it has been proved earlier also in front of the public," alleged  Kejriwal.

"Now the problem is that, Dikshit is claiming that the companies have incurred loss of rupees 20,000 crores within two years and this entire loss is a hoax," he added.

 "The aim of my fast is to rally more and more people against the illegal bills. If I fast, then people will get encouraged. This time we are not asking anything from the government, this time I appeal to Delhiites not to pay bills," he said.

STAY IN TOUCH WITH JANLOKPAL BILL CENTER FOR UPDATES REGARDING THIS FAST, AS MEDIA IS TRYING TO IGNORE IT.



Friday, March 22, 2013

Reminder:2 Important agitation ahead.

March 23(Kejrival's fast against unfair power bills in Delhi)
  •  Arvind Kejriwal has announced a fast starting March 23 to protest against electricity prices in Delhi. Kejriwal has accused the Delhi government, headed by Sheila Dikshit, of conspiring with power companies to over-charge customers.

  • He said that improvements in the distribution of powerhave accrued major savings for power companies, but these are not being passed on to consumers.(see complete report here)


March 31(Anna's Nationwide Tour from 
Jallianwala Bagh )

  • Anna Hazare and former Army Chief V K Singh said the activists of Jantantra Morcha will embark on a nationwide tour from March 31 from Jallianwala Bagh(Amritsar,Punjab) to awaken people about the need for a holistic change in the system.


  • The first phase of the tour will end on April 17 in western Uttar Pradesh after covering Punjab and Haryana.

Anna Hazare rejects Arvind Kejriwal's invitation to join indefinite fast

Earlier it was thought that Anna may accept the Kejrival's invitation to join his march 23rd fast .(see here)

However, yesterday(March 21) Anna cleared that  he won't participate in the protest as he has nothing to do with party politics. "We have already said that we are not with any party and we are not going to fight elections. I am not going on March 23 (fast of Kejriwal)," he said.
Addressing the media, he also  announce a nationwide tour from March 31 from Jallianwala Bagh, he said Mr Kejriwal had visited him earlier this week to seek his blessings before his fast and invite him.
Interestingly,  before this rejection by Anna himself, sources from both the sides i.e ANNA(viz Jantantra Morcha) and Arvind(viz Aam Admi Party) have confidence over Anna's joining the Kejrival's fast.

Anna Hazare may attend Arvind Kejriwal protest

Six months after split. Arvind Kejriwal met activist Anna Hazare on Monday and invited him to attend his indefinite fast starting in New Delhi on March 23.

While sources close to Hazare said he is likely to attend the AAP protest as he will be in Delhi during that time, an aide of Kejrwal claimed that "Anna has agreed to fast on March 23, wherever he is".

Speaking to the media in Ralegan Siddhi after his meeting with Hazare, Kejriwal said: "I had come to seek Annaji's blessing for my upcoming fast. To me he is like a father and a mentor. I have also invited him to attend the Delhi protest. He said that he supports my agitation and will attend it if his schedule allows him."

Anna on his support to the fast said "I am not supporting politics. Today, people in Delhi have to pay a huge amount for electricity, water and cooking gas. This has made their lives difficult. That's why I am considering attending the protest organised by Kejriwal,"

Editor: We must admit that both Anna and Arvind aim the same, only their manner of achieving it is different. It will be a good thing if Anna supports Kejrival's protest. Both the political and non-political warriors need each other's support to survive the opposition and attacks by the corrupts.

Anna Hazare launches 'Janatantra Morcha'

At the today's rally (Jan, 30 2013) held at the historic Gandhi Maidan(PATNA)  Anna Hazare  announced formation of an apolitical outfit 'Janatantra Morcha' to work for 'change of system' and warned the UPA government that it 'must fear' being ousted from power if it did not bring a strong Lokpal bill. 


  • He said it would not contest any polls but serve the people 'without any allurement of power or related benefits'. 
  • He called upon the gathering to join the new outfit for 'Azadi ki dusri ladai' (second freedom struggle) and realise the dream of a political system that would cater to the aspirations of all. 
  • He said the lokpal being discussed in parliament doesn't incorporate the public view and interest and accused that UPA was scared of losing power that's why it didn't went by the draft given by the civil society which says autonomy for CBI and CVC and other stern measures.
  • Congress president Sonia Gandhi had written a letter to Hazare recently to assure him that Lokpal would be passed in the coming budget session of Parliament which commences in the second half of next month. In his reply Hazare said political class is disconnected with the public sentiments."Parliament must make laws, but the same should represent public views." he said.
  • Hazare, however, said that the Lokpal Bill was not a magic wand to completely remove corruption from politics and society but only 50-60 per cent of of present corruption can be tackled lokpal .| Of course Lokpal isn't a magic ,in fact no act on paper by itself can completely uproot the present level of corruption in our nation, apart from legal acts we also require the democratic acts on street and act of humanity in our society ! And only then it will be possible to tackle the 100% of graft|
Interestingly Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday expressed support to Hazare and said he favoured a 'jan andolan' (people's movement) to strengthen democracy in India. Maybe he said so as to promote his image before public because Nitish is Anti-Modi in the BJP for the 2014 election.

Criticizing other political parties for indulging in politics in the name of caste and communities, the 75-year-old activist also accused them of practicing unfair means to collect donations

"I know Kejriwal. He has not done anything for himself. He is doing everything for the country," Hazare said, reiterating that he will however examine the candidates and back them only the deserving ones.
