Congress seeks single phase election in Gujarat(video)
Ahmedabad, 9 July 2012
Gujarat Congress in its representation to the Election Commission of India(ECI) today requested to hold Gujarat assembly election on one day, in single phase.
Sharing the details on Gujarat Congress’s discussion with the ECI today, party leader Balubhai Patel told media persons, “Gujarat Congress has asked the Chief Election Commissioner of India that the party is ready for election at any time, and as Gujarat is a peaceful state, the election should be held on one day, in single phase.”
“Government officers on election duty are unable to vote. There should be some forumla, so that these officers can vote,” Balubhai said.
“There should be Mansa by-election style system for migrated voters, slip distribution, and deployment of officer per booth in place,” he added.
“Officers involved in government programmes who are more loyal to the ruling party instead of government should be kept away from election duty, he further said.
“We have also demanded that there should be permanent Director General of Police in the state,” he said.
It should be mentioned that Gujarat Congress had demanded single phase poll in 2007 also, but the ECI had given two-phase poll which was BJP’s demand at that time. In 2002 Gujarat had witnessed single phase poll, while in 1995 the state had two phase poll. Gujarat has total 182 assembly seats.
Balubhai Patel, CJ Chavda, Girish Parmar and Khurshid Saiyed were part of the Gujarat Congress delegation that participated in the meeting called by CEC.

Here we go again,…. THIS GUJARAT CONGRESS can find whatever loop holes for them to win… BUT people of GUJARAT are smart enough to defeat you guys…….
I know GUJARAT congress is smart to hide many UPA-CONGRESS government blunders and they will never talk about that AND always COMPLAIN about MR. MODIJI….so PEOPLE will forget problems created by DELHI government…. THIS is their strategy…..
GUJARAT congress will not see anything about last ten years progress.. THEY will only see dark side… I AM telling all my friends that IF congress wins in GUJARAT , all the progress will be looted in only two or three years….; NO power for almost ten years… THEY have become power hungry…. and will do anything…. I KNOW THESE GUNDAS VERY WELL…..JAY HIND….
NATION is still very wealthy and CONGRESS party has stolen from us…. and MOST of the black money belongs to CONGRESS party people…THEY will not talk about that….KEEP PEOPLE BUSY and FOOLS to rob….. THIS IS CONGRESS Party strategy….. JAY HIND …. and we stupid indians fell for this… MOST OF LITERATE IDIOTS ARE THE PROBLEM……NO DESH PREM….
Congress stand is understandable. It is easy for Election Commission to hack EVM one time than doing it several times spread across few days. Know your new colonisers, the Election Commission who challenged any one to hack the EVm and when someone did it, he was arrested. No EVMs without printed proof kept by an independent body ( which is very difficult to find in India).
@ Amit dhorajiwalla. I agree with you … you are 100 % right…. It is very easy to hack the EVM machine for personal win…. I think people of village also should keep track how many votes were delivered and to whom….THIS at least give a slim chance of control….. CONGRESS party people are very bad and notorious for this kind of activity…. LIKE each politician and police person ,these election officials are also for sale….Sometimes I feel are we ready for DEMOCRACY ?…. JAY HIND…..
