- My Vote 2019: Phase 4 Polls, Violence in West Bengal & More
- The election season is in full swing as we move on to the fourth phase. Hey guys, I’m Sonal and you’re listening to the My Vote 2019 Podcast, your one stop shop for daily election related developments.
- A total of 72 constituencies spread over nine states voted today in the fourth phase of the Lok Sabha elections. One of the most interesting battles of this phase is in Begusarai, where Union Minister Giriraj Singh, former JNU Student Union President and CPI leader Kanhaiya Kumar are at loggerheads. For Maharashtra, it was the final phase of polling and saw the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit, Sachin Tendulkar come out and vote.
- West Bengal again saw a violent day of polling as TMC workers clashed with security forces at the polling booth in Asansol. BJP’s Babul Supriyo’s car was also vandalized, allegedly by TMC. The TMC had also filed a complaint with the Election Commission, against Supriyo for violating the model code of conduct during an election rally in West Bengal. The TMC alleged that the BJP theme which was banned by poll authorities, was played out in public.
- In another alleged violation of the model code of conduct, East Delhi’s Aam Aadmi Party candidate, Atishi filed a complaint with the Election Commission against Gautam Gambhir on 28th April. Atishi has sought a 72-hour campaign ban on Gambhir for carrying out a rally in Jangpura on 25th April without permission.
- The Election Commission strongly condemned Union Minister Maneka Gandhi for threatening Muslim voters during her speech in Sultanpur, earlier this month. She was warned against repeating such conduct. If you remember, she was also banned for 48 hours after she made these remarks on 15th April.
- And in the last update for today, a 50 year old poll officer at the Lodhikheda polling booth Madhya Pradesh died of cardiac arrest after she arrived at the booth. In another incident, an assistant sub-inspector deployed on poll security duty died after suffering a heart attack in Sidhi district.
- That was your quick 2019 My Vote Elections wrap for the day. For other podcasts, log on to The Quint’s website and check out our podcast section!

- Raj Thackeray’s Rise Reflects Utter Failure of Mainstream Media
There are no permanent winners or losers in politics, to tweak a famous cliché.
On the list of permanent losers seemed to be Raj Thackeray, with no role to play in state or even Mumbai politics. His Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, now 13 years of age, began with a bang seizing 13 seats in the state Assembly in 2009, and in subsequent years, went on to score handsomely in some of the municipal corporations in state.
In the next Assembly elections – in 2014 – its tally had come down to one, and that sole MLA too crossed over to the Shiv Sena. As far as the civic bodies were concerned, the MNS’s presence is negligible to nothing.

- Why PM Modi Should Listen to these Dissenting Voices from Varanasi
In 2014, a phenomenal political performance by the then candidate Narendra Modi clinched Varanasi as his ‘karmabhoomi’. Expectations soared to unimaginable heights as to how he would transform Kashi to Kyoto.
Since then, PM Modi has tried to deliver, by flooding the 2,500-year-old sacred city with projects worth thousands of crores. Almost every government department did their bit for the prime minister’s constituency. Most admit that the push to clean Kashi and make it a smart city, was also unprecedented.
But as Varanasi folks take stock of Modi ji’s performance, there are strong voices of dissent surfacing from within the ancient city. These are voices that offer a rare glimpse into the minds of those who believed in the idea of ‘Modi’s India’. It raises obvious questions as to whether there is growing dissatisfaction with the BJP even in supposedly safe seats like Varanasi, and whether this sentiment will shape voting behaviour.

- In Seychelles, A Herculean Task Awaits Ex-Army Chief DS Suhag
On 25 April, the Ministry of External Affairs announced the appointment of former Army Chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag as the next High Commissioner to Seychelles. This appointment is aimed at deepening India-Seychelles military ties, as the latter is a country of strategic importance to India.
Although Seychelles – with a fair sized population of Indian descent – has longstanding ties with India, the growing Chinese presence in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) has obligated India to take substantial steps to safeguard its strategic interests in the region.
