00:00 It can't get bigger than this.
00:03 Sample the numbers here.
00:04 97 crore voters, 1.82 crore new voters, 88.4 lakh people with disability to vote, 2.18
00:12 thousand voters aged above 100, 48k transgenders to vote, 10.5 million booths, 1.5 crore election
00:20 officials.
00:21 These are the numbers which would be defining the Lok Sabha elections of 2024.
00:27 Seven phase elections counting on June 4th, not just for the Lok Sabha elections but also
00:32 for the by-polls and assembly elections.
00:34 Election commission has just announced the dates and this seven phase is something which
00:38 reminds us of 2019 election schedule but a lot has changed.
00:44 The numbers are staggering and if you look at India, the biggest democracy on the face
00:50 of the earth, then it's something that not many countries can pull off.
00:56 Time from April 19th till June 4th, this is how India would be voting.
01:01 Joining me on the broadcast is my colleague Kuldeep.
01:03 Kuldeep, the numbers that we are seeing, the dates are on one side but when it comes to
01:09 elections in India, it's almost like a festival.
01:14 Election commissioner has also said, be careful, enjoy and do it with love.
01:21 He has read the share of Wasim Barilvi ji that whenever we meet, whenever we become friends,
01:27 we should not look down.
01:29 He himself said that this is the biggest election of the world and it's right because our voters
01:35 are going towards 100 crore.
01:37 The voter list that has been prepared is around 96 crore.
01:40 I think that in the next five years, we will be 100 crore voters.
01:44 This is what we were waiting for.
01:51 Today, finally, the numbers have come in the press conference at 3 o'clock.
01:57 This time, the biggest question was about the opposition regarding EVM and how to look at it.
02:04 Apart from this, all the questions related to EVM and the discussion about independence,
02:10 bonds, this time we have to handle it very carefully.
02:15 That's why he is telling the public to come openly, vote openly and celebrate this festival
02:21 of India, the festival of elections.
02:25 This time around, we could see a kind of relaxed atmosphere, if I am not reading too much into it.
02:33 Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar also said that our team is complete.
02:38 He was slanked with two election commissioners on both his sides and he was quite confident.
02:42 That was the first sentence that he began with.
02:45 Secondly, as you said that he did some poetry and poetry, this also gives an idea that the
02:50 preparations are right in their place.
02:52 People also had an idea that it could be in the seven feet.
02:56 It has definitely been mentioned in Jammu and Kashmir this time.
02:59 Then he gave a reference of 544 seats, but later it was reduced to 544 seats.
03:06 So this time, the assembly elections will also be held in four states.
03:10 What will be the atmosphere when we have an assembly election and simultaneous voting
03:15 will also be held.
03:16 On the same day, whether it is Andhra Pradesh, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh or Odisha, when
03:22 Lok Sabha will be voting, then assembly elections will also be voting.
03:26 This is a big step because the elections that were supposed to be held by June, all of them
03:33 were held with Lok Sabha.
03:36 The biggest thing in that is that in rural areas, it is difficult to specify which EVM
03:43 is for Lok Sabha and which is for Lok Sabha.
03:47 It is difficult to explain.
03:48 There is a little confusion in the minds of voters and a few percent vote for the front
03:54 and back.
03:55 Where there is a preference for the back, there is a little confusion.
03:58 But in these states, the education issue is a little better.
04:03 If I talk about North India, UP, Bihar, and if it was in these areas, there would be more
04:09 confusion.
04:10 But there, the voting will be, if we talk about Odisha, if we talk about Odisha in a political
04:17 view, then the BJP and the conflict that has happened, it has its own meaning.
04:22 The government is repeating Patnaik's words because there is a confusion.
04:28 The people who want to be in Lok Sabha and the people who want to be in the Vidhan Sabha
04:32 have been divided.
04:33 You can see the report of the One Nation One Election.
04:38 This is a baby step in Lok Sabha elections because everyone has been gathered.
04:44 This is an indication that the upcoming Vidhan Sabha elections will not be held in February
04:50 and then there will be elections again in May.
04:53 In the next 6 months, everyone will be gathered.
04:56 This is a baby step.
04:58 By the time it reaches 2019, everyone will be together.
05:02 Everyone will be given the same form.
05:05 It has started.
05:06 You can say that the program of these 4 states was also coming to an end in June.
05:12 Another interesting thing that the Chief Election Commissioner said was that this year, if we
05:18 are standing in the month of April and March, if you are turning 18 this year, you will be
05:28 eligible to vote again.
05:32 This is something that he mentioned.
05:33 Mali Jai's birthday is in December.
05:35 He can vote this time.
05:37 Technically, he will not be 18 years old.
05:39 So, it seems that we are counting him as a voter.
05:44 Let's talk about the assembly elections.
05:49 Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim and Odisha.
05:51 May 13 in Andhra Pradesh, April 19 in Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim is April 19 and Odisha in 2 phases.
06:00 In Odisha, the way the BJP is running in the game, it is like a cat on the wall.
06:09 You don't know where it will go.
06:11 Often we have seen, not on the wrong side of the government.
06:14 How do you see it?
06:15 Do you think that the way the BJP is trying to placate its partners in the South, in the
06:21 same way, in East India, they should do the same with Odisha?
06:24 In Odisha, if we look at it, Hanravin Patnaik and his party BJD have been there for many years.
06:37 And it seems that in the assembly elections, you have lost to any party.
06:42 Now that there is a confluence, in the Lok Sabha elections, everything is going in the
06:47 favour of the central government and the BJP.
06:50 Because the seats that have been divided, if the BJP voters vote for the seats that the
06:56 Lok Sabha will get, then it is obvious that there is an expansion of the BJP and the
07:05 target of 400, the BJP is not hesitating to take anyone, to join hands with anyone,
07:13 to make friends with anyone, to hug anyone, and to meet anyone.
07:19 And this is the result of the increasing number of people and the new allies are getting
07:25 offers and good deals are being made.
07:29 The bull has been blown and we will keep a close eye on that.
07:37 One India would be your destination to watch.
07:39 Puldeep and I will be back with more news and analysis on the election schedule of 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
