New Delhi: The Delhi Police has strengthened security at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence after the AAP called for a “gherao” to protest against the arrest of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Security has been beefed up around the Prime Minister’s residence, police said.

A large number of police personnel have been deployed at several roads in Delhi in the wake of the protests. Traffic congestion is likely to occur in some parts of New Delhi and central Delhi, a Delhi Traffic Police official said.

“Section 144 has already been enforced around the Prime Minister’s residence and No one will be allowed to protest. Several steps have also been taken to maintain law and order,” he said.

On March 26, Delhi minister Gopal Roy had announced that he would lay siege to the Prime Minister’s residence to protest against Kejriwal’s arrest. Roy had also said that he would hold a nationwide ‘mega protest’. Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 21 in a money laundering case related to the Delhi excise policy. The Delhi court issued an order to remand Kejiwal in ED custody till March 28.

Arvind Kejriwal is the main conspirator in the excise policy scam. He was directly involved in the formulation of excise policy. Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, appearing for the ED, said Kejriwal had received several crores of kickbacks from the South Group (a company comprising arrested BRS leader K Kavitha and several others) to formulate and implement the Delhi excise policy for 2021-22.

The BJP insisted that Kejrawal should resign from the post of Chief Minister. AAP and the opposition parties, which staged protests in different parts of the country, alleged that it was a “politically motivated move”.

New Delhi: The Election Commission today announced the dates for the Lok Sabha elections. Voting for the Lok Sabha elections will begin on April 19 and the results will be announced on June 4, the Election Commission said.

According to the announcement, Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka will take place across 7 phases. The first phase is scheduled for April 19, followed by the second phase on April 26, the third phase on May 7, and the fourth phase on May 13. Subsequently, the fifth phase will occur on May 20, the sixth phase on May 25, and the seventh phase on June 1. The deadline for withdrawal of candidature is set for March 30, with votes slated to be counted on June 4.

The poll schedule for four state Assemblies – Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim – were also declared.

Besides this, bypolls to 26 Assembly seats will be held in Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Tripura, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu.

The Elections for Dakshina Kannada will be conducted on April 26, while the second phase for other parts of Karnataka state is scheduled for May 7.

Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar, flanked by the two newly appointed Election Commissioners Gyanesh Kumar and Sukhbir Singh Sandhu, said elections would be held in seven phases. In 2019, elections were also held in seven phases.

The Lok Sabha elections 2024 will be held at 10.5 lakh polling stations from April 19 to June 1 and counting of votes will be held on June 4.

The first phase of polling will be conducted on April 19, the second phase will be held on April 26, the third phase on May 7, the fourth phase on May 13, the fifth phase on May 20, the sixth phase on May 25, and the seventh and final phase will be held on June 1.

The current tenure of the 17th Lok Sabha ends on June 24.

There was also a great deal of popular anticipation as to whether polls for the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly would be synchronised with the parliamentary election. That, however, has not happened, perhaps due to considerations relating to the security situation in the region.

The Supreme Court has directed that polls for the Union Territory of J&K have to be completed by September end.
