IN THE HIGH COURT OF 3UDI.CATURE AT BOMBAY(ELECTION PETITION. NO.9 OF 1985)
Shr idher Gajanan Madgulka'r . . . .Pet i t ioner
Vs.
Anna 3oshi and 13 cithers including
Returning Officer.: ....Respondents.
The election petit ion was f i led by Shri S.G.Madgulkar
a defeated candidate, challenging the election of Shri Anna
Doshi to the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly from
247-ShivajinagBr assembly constituency in the general
election held in March, 1985. Shri Madulkar secured
48,858 votes as against 48,969 votes secured by Shri Doshi
uhile 1003 votes were rejected. There uere 22 tendered votes
The election petition uas f i led on the follouing grounds.
1. There uas improper acceptance/rejection of votes and
that counting of votes uas not done in a proper counting hal.
2. Spurious votes were put in the ballot boxes as uas
evident from the discrepancy visible betueen votes shoun
in Forms 16 and actually found in the ballot boxes of
17 polling stations,
3. Persons belou. 21 years of age uere enrolled as
voters.
The petitioner prayed for recounting of votes and
further declaration that he be declared duly elected,
contd. . . . .
-.18 -
On the first allegation, the High Court hold that
the allegation was not proved. It added that of course
there were no fans in the counting hall but that did not
amount to improper reception/rejection of votes.
Regarding the second allegation, tho High Court noted
that there were mistakes in the preparation of forms 16
in respect of 17 polling stations in as much as Presiding
Officers did not correctly note the serial numbers of ballot
papers issued at the polling stations in those forms. There
uas houever no tr-uth in the allegation that spurious ballot
papers uere inserted in the ballot boxes. The High Court,
therefore, rejected the plea . for recounting of votes.
The allegation regarding faulty preparation of electoral
rolls listed at No.3~ uas held to have not been proved. The
High Court added t hat it uas not competent to go into the
accuracy of preparation of electoral rolls in view of
constitutional bar.
The Counsel of the Returning Officer, uho uas arrayed
as one of the respondents, raised an objection that the
Returning Officer should not have impleaded as a respondent
in vieu of the decision of the Supreme Court in 3yoti Basu
and others vs. Dobi Ghasal and others (AIR 1982 SC 983),
The High Court upheld the contention of the Returning Officer.
. However as the Returning Officer did not seek any issue
before the commencement of the hearing, his name uas not
deleted from the list of respondent at that time.
The olbction petition ugs dismissed uith costs by
the High Court vide its order dated 1,5,1985,

IN THE HIGH COURT OF 3UDICATIRE AT' BOMBAY(ELECTION PETITION N0.14 OF 1985)
• • 9 m
Dayasinh Daulatsinh Raual ...Petitioner
Vs.
Purushottam Kalu Patil & others. ...Respondents.
Throuah this election petition, Shri 3.D.Raual
challenged the. election of Shri Purushottam Kalu Patil
to the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly from 85-Shahada
assembly constituency in the general election held in
March, 1985.
Shri Patil raised preliminary objection to the
mainteinability of the election petition on the ground
of noncomoliance with section 81(3) of the Representation
of the People Act, 1951 in as much as copies of the electic
petition filed in the High Court and served on the
respondents uere not attested by the petitioner. He prayec
that the election petition be dismissed under section 86
of the Act.
The following facts were accepted by both the
parties.
1. Copies of the petition originally filed in the
Court for being supplied to the 1st respondent along uith
thour i t of summons or notice uere not attested by the
petitioner personally as true copies,
contd.
- 20 -
2. The said copies', houever, uore cyclostylod copies
and wore attested as 'truo copies' by the Advocate for
the petitioner on the docket of the petition.
3. At no place in tho cyclostyled copy any signature
of the petitioner or copy thereof uas to be found.
4. That there uas no discrepancy between the original
petition on the record of the Court and the copies supplied
to the 1st respondent save and except that there uore
no signatures of the petitioner either in the petition
or at the end of the verification clause.
5. That till the date of filing of the written
statement, Shri Patil or other respondents had not raised
any objection about the copies furnished to them not
duly attested as required by section 81 (3) of the said
Act.
6. That on or about 8.8..85 alonguith the covering
letter of Shri Raual's advocate of the said date, a true
copy of the petition alonguith the affidavit, both
duly attested by Shrr Raual as true copies uore served
on the advocate of Shri Patil as also on the advocates
of the other respondents.
In the light of the decisions of the Supremo
Court in Sybbarao Us. Member Election Tribunal (AIR 1964
SC 1027) which doalt uith non-complianco of section 81 (3)

and Sharif-ud-Din Vs, Abdul Gani Lone (AIR 1980 SC 303)
uh.ich doa.lt uith identical provision in 3&K Ropresentatioi
of the People Act, 1957, tho High Court hold that provision;
of section 81 (3) wore mandatory and that their non-compliant
was fatal to the maintainability of an election petit ion.
I t added that attestation, by the Advocate on record and
belated f i l i ng of copies, duly attested by the petitioner,
were of no consequence. I t did not agree uith the
contention of the petitioner that i t uas obligatory
on the part of the High Court to continue the hearing
and record i ts findings on tho allegations made in the
election petit ion. I t observed :
11 Under the said Act, the procedure pertainingto election petitions is to a considerable extentdifferent from that pertaining to ordinary l i t i ga t iin the Civi l Courts, including the Original Sideof tho Bombay High Court* In the latter type ofl i t igat ion, non-compliance or even explicitviolation of the requirements prescribed by theRules of the Court or of the Civi l Procedure Codecan bo regarded as irregulari t ies, which in appropicircumstances, can be cured oven belatedly and incases even i f tha normal period of limitation hasexpired. On the other hand, election petitions uncthe said Act are governed by a separate Code; theyhave their separate requirements and the principlesfor t r i a l have been statutorily proscribed. Butfor the specific provision contained in Section 86Of the said Act and excluding for tho time beingthe Supreme Court decisions, one could have takonthe vieu that infraction of a procedural requiremeisuch as sub-section (3) of section 81 should notbe regarded as fatal to tho election petition andought not to result in ouster of the petition at t!threshold stage without enquiry into tho very seri'

charges made by tho petitioner in the electionpetition. However* this Court is bound by thestatutory provision as uell as decisions of theSupremo Court. Section 86 does not differentiatosbetween the requirement of sub-sections (1) and(3) of section 81. Dismissal of the electionpetition has boen made obligatory for non-compliance with either sub-sections."
Tho election petition,was therefore,
dismissed by tho High Court with costs vido its order
dated 30.8.1985.

The election of Shri Girdhari Lai was challenged
on the around of commission of corrupt practices under
section 123 (1) (A) and 123(4) of the Representation of tha
People Act, 1951. The al legation under section 123(4)
was that although he uas an independent candidate, Returnit
Officer treated him as a candidate of Doordarshi Party and
that Shri Girdhari Lai referred to him l ike this in his
propaganda thereby jeopardis ing his election prospects.
The High Court held that the impugned act, even i f
committed, would not amount to corrupt practice within
sub-section (4) of the Representation of the People Act,195'
Therefore only one allegation re lat ing of bribery
survived for t r i a l .
The specif ic al legation of bribery uas that the
returned candidate want to v i l lage Ghaguan,Tehsil Nurpur,
con td . . . .
- 24 -
uhich uas in polling station Sudhauan of ths aforesaid
constituency an about ' 1.3,85 and gathered people
in the open ground near the temple. He asked the people
to vote for him. The persons uho had gathered demandeduould
they/vote for Shri Girdhari Lai only i f he opened
a primary school in the vil lage before the date of
pol l ing. The respondent stated that he uould see that
the school started functioning in the vi l lage from the
next day i .e . 2.3.85 i t se l f i f the congregation and
voters promised that they uould exercise their franchise in
his favour. They said that they woild do so provided
a school uas opened before the date of pol l ing. The
returned candidate uas in the good books of the Chief
Minister of Himachal Pradesh and other authorit ies
and without any proper order a Government Primary School
started functioning in v i l lage Ganguan from 3.3,85 i t s e l f .
The voters in the vil lage uho uere primarily the supporters
of the Shri Duni Chand overuhe lming ly voted for Shri
Girdhari Lai because of the bribery offered in the form
of opening of a Government Primary School at the
instance of the returned candidate. Thus the returned
candidate committed corrupt practice of bribery as
contemplated by sub-soction (1) of section 123 of the
Representation of tho People Act, 1951.
contd
- 25 -
On the basis of tha records produced by the
concerned authorities, the High Court concluded that
the proposal for opening a Government Primary School in
village Ghaguan was made as long back as the year 1978-79
and that the final orders on this proposal were issued
by the Chief Minister on 27.12.19S4, long before the
respondent had doclared himself as a candidate for this
election. On the basis of the orders issued by the
Chief Minister, the Director Primary Education had
in his turn despatched his order to the District Primary
Education Officer on 17.1.85 for opening of this school.
It uas in pursuance of this order of the Director Primary
Education that tho school uas actually opened on 1.3,85,
There uas therefore no bargain between the elected candidate
and the electors, as alleged.
The High Court, therefore, dismissed the election
petition, with costs, vide its order dated 14.10.85,

1. This is an Election Petition-by an unsuccessful
candidate under section 80 of the Representation of
People Act,1951 (RP Act) challenging the election
of respondent No.2 to the membership of Maharashtra
Legislative Council from Teachers Constituency
(Amravati Division). This, election uhich was for
only one candidate took place on 15th of Duly 1984 on
the basis of preferential voting system as provided
in Part VII of the conduct of Election Rules,1961(Rules)
framed under section 169 of the Representation of
the Pr.rple Act.
- 30 -
2. Th r;; ur:rn in all 12 candidates in the field,
purushottom 3omansni(respondent No.2) a returned
candidate •- secured after recount 3902 f i rs t
preferential votes and the petitioner Dattatraya
Lanks 3974. Tho number of the va?5d uotos was 9455,
Only one seat was to be filled in and henco counting
had to be -as per Rule 75, Quota sufficient to
return the candidate uas determined at 4728 as per rule
75\1). As none reached quota in f i rs t count, further
counting took place as per Rule 75(3). Candidate
credited with lowest \/aluo at the end of each round
of counting was excluded from the poll. The f i rs t
victim was Bsbanrac Deshmukh (respondent No.12)
who had secured 7 votes, the second being 3agannath
Akarte(raspondent No.1i) uho socur°d 45 votes.
Despite transfering the value of transferred votes of
eliminated candidates in 10 counts, none reached
the quota. In the eleventh couirnt, Krishna Tare
(respondent No.3) uas excluded uhen the petitioner
and respondent No2 survived in the field. Total
value of petit ioner 's votes came to 4307 and that
of respondent' No.2 fcO 4344.. As per Rule 75(4)
petitioner was eliminated and respondent No.2 uas
declared returned. At the end of second countp1
ballot paper, at the end of third count, 11 ballot
papers and at the end of eleventh and last count
total 396 ballot papers were found to be non-
transferable or exhausted.
- 31 -
3. ThsTG is no dispute rbr.ut the; mrrinsr in which thc3
counting in fGCt tnnk pl-ce. The Returning Officer
did not count the further prnfarencos of eliminated
candidates. The controversy centres refund a paint
whether n ballot paper on uhich further preference is
marked for an eliminated candidate bt3comcsncxhaustad
psper, as defined by Rule 71 (3) or not The petitioner's
solo contention in substance i s , if the eliminated
candidate's second preference is in favour of a
candidate who is already eliminated, than his third
preference hns to bo taken into account and further
that if this candidate is also eliminated then the
fourth preference is to be taken into account. The
Returning Of ficsr (respondent No.1.) denies the
correctness of this stand and contends that these
prnfarences cannot be counted as per Rules and nonce
there uas no point whatsoever in ordering amination
of those 396 papers treated as non.trnnsferable or
exhausted and hence request for recount on that
ground uas rightly rejocted. Considering the
controversy imvolvcd, the follfjuing issues uer framed*.
1* Uh other the petitioner proves .that thereturning officer-rospondert no.1-actedillegally in counting votes?
2. Uhnt order?
- 3 2 -
4. Parties chose to lor.d no ovidqnee. Pure question
of interpretation of Rules crises in the Petition,
Question of Scrutiny of those 396 papurs ui.ll arise
only in case the stend cf the- Returning Officer is hald
to bo incorrect. In the f irst place, i t will bo
necessary to notice certain.basic features of.the
systcm of election by the single transferenble vote*
This systcm can be adopted in the election cf only
one representative or more than one. Even uher.e more
than one representative is to be elected, each voter,
has only ono vote, but that vote is transfcrntelo
one nominees tc the next. As rightly observed by
U.K.Aiynr in his book 'Single Transferable Veto1 the
alternative preferences '.re not votes per so and of
equal grade. They are- merely preferences in the order
mentioned. Thus, a voter has only one single vote
but is given a choice to provide for successive
transfors of his vote. Recording only one preference
or more then ona does not change ,thc. value of the
veto. Voting paper on transfer is of the same full
value to the candidate in whose favour the last
preference is recorded uith only one difference and
that is while i t is certain vote to the first namir.QQ,
i t is only continqent vote in favour of any other nominee
immediately louor down. Transfer of votes and
declaration of'result on that basis is count uise and
o transfer i s only in favour of a candidate
33 -
in uhnsG favour consccutiuG or irmr.adiata noxt preference
is recorded and no other. Uhp.t is of essence is the
successive transfer without any break. Either the
ballot paper gats transferred at thnt count or not at
a l l .
5. Now tho RUIQS-RLIIG 71 deals with d of in i t ions .
Thp terms "continuing candidate" "count" "exhausted
paper" "first preforsncQ11 "original votes" "surplus"
"transferred vote" and unexhausted paper" are al l
defined. Rule 73 deals with scrutiny of ballot papers,
Ruls 74 with arrangement of valid ballot papers in
parcals and Rule 75 with counting when only one seat
is to. bo fi l led. Rule 76 and. onward -Rules refer to
counting uhon more than one saat/lo be f i l led.
Ballot paper bears tho r.amos of the candidates and
tho' voter marks the preferences with figures 1,2,3 and
so on. This mark is understood to be alternative in
the order mentioned. The minimum number of votes
required for election is called quota. Every ballot
paper is deemed to b e of the .value of one at each
count and the quota is determined by adding the votes
credited to allcandid ntasj dividing the total by tuo
and adding one to tho quotient ignoring the reminder,
if any. First the scrutiny of ballot paper is made
as per Rule 73. The valid papers are f irst arranged
in the parcels according to the first preference
recorded for each candidate, thqn their number is
- 34 -
counted and thuir value is credited in favour of ench
candidate. If at the end of a count nny candidate
secures value equnl to or mnro then quota, ho is
declared oloctod. In the present olection, quastion
of distribution of surplus value and its transfer
doos not arise. If no candidate reaches quota at the
end of o count, the candidate securing the louest
value is eliminated at that stane and the unexhausted
ballot papers in his parcel/sub parcel/sub-parcels
are to be arranged according to the immediate next
available preferences recorded thereon for the
continuing candidate (candidate uho is neither elected
ncr eliminated)• The papers in each sub-parcel are
counted and their value is credited to the candidate
for uhom such preference is recorded. Such sub-parcels
n r G transferred to that candidate. Separate
parcel for non-transferable papers or exhausted papers
isalso prepared. If after such transfer,any of the
continuing candidate secures the quota, he is declared
returned. The follouing emerge as the basic features
of the counting process*
(1) Declaration of result at each count,
(2) Transfer of vote also at each count,
(3) Candidate wise preparation of a parcel/sub-parcel of transferable ballot papersat each count.
(4) Placement of those tr annf Grab In ballot paparsnt each count in the parcel/sub parcel of acandidate for whom consecutive prsftrance isrecord ed .
(3) Prn:;nration of a separate parcel for papersuhich cannot be placed in any of th.';- aboveM~rcels/sub parcels,
(fi) Placement of such non-transferable papers inthat separate r^~rcel at each count.
Thus, in the vary scheme thor^. arc only two types of
papers and that too count uise-O) Transferable and
(2) Non-transferable. The ballot papers must find place
at that count either in the parcel/sub parcel of a
candidate who is in the run or in the parcel of non-
transferable p-psrs. They have no third place.
Once a paper :300s in the later type of parcel, i t
goes there finally and cannot come out. At the end
of each counting, a particular ballot paper is either
alive or dead. Once dead, i t is for ever and does
not revive only because i t records further preferences.
Such ballot papers are thus set aside as finally dealt
with and votes recorded thereon cannot be taken into
account for any purpose whatsoever. There is nothing
like a stage of suspension.
6. The term "''exhausted paper" is defined thus!
"71 (3) "exhausted paper" means a ballot paper on uhichno further preference is recorded for acontinuing candidate, provided that a paper shallalso be deemed to have become exhausted uhenever.
- 36 -
(a) the nomes of two or more candidates, whethercountinuing o r not, are marked with the samefigure and are next in order of preference ; or
(b) the name of the candidate next in order ofpr&forence, whether continuing or not, is markedby a fiqure not following consecutively after someother figurs on the ballot paper OP by two or morefigures,
I t is not being disputed before me that as per
definition a ballot paper becomes exhausted at the
relevant count and cannot be placed in the parcel of
transferable papers in the follouinq set of circumstances *
(i)uhen no further preference is recorded at all*
(2)Uhen the same figure is recorded against more. than one candidate.
(3)Uhen the figure consecutively following• the othsr figure is not marked.
I t is further^disputed that the same result will follow
even if further preference are recorded thereon.
What excepting the necessity of uninterrupted flow
of continuity of pref GrencB* is the principle behind
this? If that be the correct position how a ballot
paper on which further preference is recorded for an
eliminated candidate can go in the Parcel of transferable
papers? If not, i ts only place of allotoent has
inevitably to be in the parcel of non transferable paper,
from where it cannot come out. In this background
the proper meaning to the wordsslfurtber preference'1
used either in the term ''exhausted paper" or "unexhausted
paper" as defined by Rule T'Ks) will have to be assignod.
- 37 -
The term "transferred v/otc:i as defined in Rule 71 (7)
roads thusl-
"transferred vote:I in relation to any candidate
means p vote the value or the part of the value
of uhich is credited to such candidate and which
is derived from a ballot paper on uhich second
or subsequent preference is recorded for such
cand id ate . ; f
The use of the wards ''second or a subseq-uest preference"
in the above definition and absence of wrods:'further
preference1' is significant. Further preference thus
must have a restrictive meaning of b8ing a consecutive
or immediate naxt preference and no other. Wo doubt
in Ruls 75(3) the plural uord "preferences1' is used
but i t is apparent that the said plurality is related
to the plurality of ballot P P G r s and n°t to the
plurality of preferences in the same ballot paper.
The use of the.words ''next available51 preceding the
uords:ipraference1' in Rule 75(3) gives clear indication
'of legislative intention. Other interpretation
renders the words !'next available" wholly redundant
and redundancy, has always to be avoided as per known
cannons of construction,
7. Thusj a ballot paper on which further preference
is recorded in favour of an eliminated candidate is
also an exhausted paper and therefore-becomes a non-
transferable paper. Undoubtedly this involves
wastage of additional preferences only due to
unpredictable' chance- o-f some ens being eliminated
at a particular count, but. that cannot bo helped.-
That, is a p?rt of the ^.me,. m?,y" indeed its essential'
rule without which tho very sustem becomGs unworkable. ..
Therefore, the Returning Officer appears to be
perfectly right in putting these ballot papers
final!} in the' parcel of non transferable ballot
papers and in not acceding to the request for their
scrutiny and recounting, only because further preferences
are marked on those ballot papers.
8. There'is thus no merit in this election p .t.i.fe.iPJD.
which is dismissed. All that remains is .the question
of costs. Having regard to the fact that a pure
question of law is raised in this petition and that.
tho petitioner is a school teacher, I make no order
as to costs. Parties to bear their costs. Security
deposit be refunded to the petitioner.
9, The substance of this decision be forthwith
intimated to the Election Commission and Chairman of
the State Legislative Council and the authenticated
copy of this judgement be sent to the Election
Commission as mandated by section 103 Representation
•of the People Act.

MjJcJ _nepds to be done to cleanse ..politic? 1system, ~ Tr i iygdi t i Sastri..
Chief Election Commissioner-designate R.V.S.
Peri Sastri feels that during the next two years or
so the Government could take up the question of deli-
mitation of constituencies which had become unmanageable.
Describing the years ahead as a 'period of respite1 ,
Mr Sastri said delimitation of constituencies would
mean some changes in the Constitution because as per the
rules, the next censu9 would only take place in 2000
AD.
In an interview this morning, the most unassuming
and soft-spoken Mr Sastri said ths Government was already
seized of this question as i t was in the l i s t of
proposals already sent to i t by the Commission.
Mr Sastri who has been dealing with the legislation
and Commission desk in the Union Ministry of Law and
3ustice, said delimitation was quite important and theretwo
could be ncr >£• opinions on the question. He said there
were some constituencies with a total electorate of
just 3 to 4 lakh as against 10 lakh or even more in
others.
He said the imbalance in Parliamentary constituencies
could be corrected without even disturbing the total
allocation of seats for.the Lok Sabha.Incidentally,
outgoing CEC R.K.Trivedi, in a separate interview,
contd,... >
- 175 -
also shared some of these vieus regarding delimitation
of constituencies, ' Ha fa i t that the work must- begin
right nou.
Regarding his l i s t of pr ior i t ies, Mr. Sastri said
in a parliamentary system like ours, the highest poriority
should be given for 'purifying' the pol i t ica l system. Ms
said this should form the very basis on which pol i t ica l system
was required to function. He said i t was in this very
context that Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi had been very
keen regarding the Anti-Defection Law.
He said apart from the Anti-Defection Law there
uas need for much more to be done to cleanse our po l i t ica l
system.
Regarding the introduction of electronic voting system,
Mr Sastri who uas closely associated with the idea said
sooner or later this uduld have to be introduced to
hasten the entire processtaf tabulating total votes polled
by each candidate. He said the electronic system had
already been introduced in several advanced countries
and there uas no reason uhy i t should hot succeed in
India. . .
Tho neu Election Commissioner said he had thoroughly
studied the ques-tion of State funding of pol i t ica l parties
and i t could be successful only i f there uas a recognised
party system.
con td , . , , ,
- 177 -
He expressed his apprehension that in tho prevailing
conditions this might only holp those having enormous
resources.
Regarding the problems- posed by the migration
Of refugees, Mr Sastri said India uas not a country
but a continent and for historical reasons people migrated
from one place to another. It uas very difficult to
establish uho uas alien and who uas a registered citizen.
He suggested vieuing the nroblem from a humanitarian angle/
and not as a migration question. "Some kind of system must
be evolved for dealing uith this complicated problem."
On the question of the status of the Election
Commission and its budgetary allocations being voted
by Parliament, Mr Sastri,said the organisation uould
continue to depend upon the executive uing of the State,
for holding elections and suggested same level of budgetary
allocation as it uas earlier,
Houever, Mr R, K,Trivedi felt that the Commission
should enjoy similar status as that of the Supreme Court
or Controller and Auditor-General of India whose budgets
arc charged and not voted.
The outgoing CEC strongly favoured the electronic
voting system and said an estimated Rs,150 crore uere
being spent on elections uhich could be curtailed if the
system uas introduced,

Mr Trivodi said the country uas already manufacturing
the neu system and it uould not involve any import of
technology from abroad. Mr Trivedi also did not approve
tho idea of State financing of elections as it would
lead to further complications.
He said in the present election system, it should
be ensured that muscle, money and media pouar did not
play any role. HD paid compliments to tha Press for
being vigilant.

R.W.S* Peri Sastri, the neu Chisf Election Commissior
today ruled out any blanket ban on independents,
"You can't put a blanket ban on Independents, Then
the cure will be uo.rse than the disease,'1 Sastri said in
an informal chat uith nausmen.
While admitting that non-serious candidates should
be discouraged from contesting elections, he pointed out t
quite a feu eminent personalities like H,\/, Kamath and
P.G.Mavlank-ar had contested anduon as Independents,
Sastri, who took charge of his"neu office yesterday,
uas earlier secretary in the Union Lau Ministry in charge
on legislation and elections. He succeeded R.K.Trivedi,
Replying to questions, Sastri said electoral reforms
uould get high priority and -Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi
himself had laid great emphasis on the reforms recently.
At the same time, he noted that the electoral system
in the country had proved to be successful, "This is
very clear from the results of elections in recent years,"
he said. The CEC said that the system had by and large
stood the test of time and i t uas a great achievement
considering the size of the country and the composition
of the population. Since the system had uorked successful
the aim should be to strengthen i t , "On this matter, ue
can not afford to be complacent and take corrective
measures uherevor necessary," ho said,

Sastr i said tho "framework" would -necessarily have
to be the same. "It is populist to soy t h a t the system
is radical ly wrong," he stated*
He said the Government could now take up the question
of delimitation of constituencies uhich had become unmanageable
Ho said there could be no two opinions on the question
of delimitation as there were sdmo constituencies with a
t o t a l electorate of just three-to four lakh against
16 lakh or even more in others.
The delimitation commission consists of two
s i t t i n g or re t i red judges with the Chief Election Commissioner
as an ex-officio member and it- wi l l have quasi—judicial

ThD Chief Election Cammissionor, Mr.R.l/,3. Pori Sastri,
said on Thursday that hs uas not in favour of imposing
a blanket ban on independent c.andidntos in elections.
• Endorsing the stand taken by chirof electoral officers
of states and Union tnrritories in this regard at their
recent conference^ Mr Sastri said a blanket ban on
independents uas not possible. The cure will be worse
than the disease, he addod.
The meeting of chief electoral officers, while
rejecting the proposal to ban independents, had emphasised
that the unhealthy trend of multiplicity of candidates
had to be checked. The meeting endorsed the Election
Commission's proposal to increase the amount of security
deposit and felt that a package of incentives to
recognised political parties and disincentives to
independents uns called for.
In an informal chat with neusmen, Mr Sastri said the
recommendations of the conference will be forwarded to the
Government,
The new Chief Election Commissioner said the commission
would draw the Government's attention to the need for
delimitation of Lok Sobha and assembly constituencies
in the country. The proposed delimitation would be elimited

funding ofi
The Chief Election Commissioner, Mr.R,U.S,Pori Sastri,
said on Friday that "under the existing circumstances",
the present, system of giving assistances in kind to political
parties rit election time should continue. The question
of cash subsist y needs c^roful study, he said.
In an informal chat with newsmen,. Mr.Sastri said this
v/ieu had boon endorsed by tuo of his predecessors -
Mr.S. L.Shakder and Flr.R. K.Trivedi - and the conference
of chief electoral officers of states and Union terr i tor ies .
In fact the Election Commission had been consistently
taking the vieu . that stato funding of elections should
c,ome by way of assistance in kind,
Tho commission had alrc?ady made several recommendations
in this regard including supply of copies of electoral
rol ls , printing a limited number of posters for political
parties and candidates, supply of petrol and diesel
coupons and facility of free mailing of .literature to
voters. The commission had also suggested reduction
in the period of campaign and introduction of electronic
voting machines in order to bring doun election expenditure
Mr. Sastri said hs had examined the question of
state funding of elections uhila he uas secretary in the
Union Lau Ministry in 1979. Aa regards the question
contd , , . , , .
- 195 -
of cash subsidy for political parties and the systems in
voguo in other countries, Mr. Sastri said the circumstances
prevailing in thoso.countries and in India should be borne
in mind.
The Canadian law provided for partial funding by the
state but it would be difficult to make a categorical state
only on the basis of the text of the law* It would have to
be read in juxtaposition with other laws, further, the
background and circumstances obtaining in that country
and also the working of the law, would have to be examined.
In West Germany and some other advanced countfciss,
there are 'clear cut party systems and cash subsidy is
provided on the basis of electoral performance of
political parties. Uest Germany also had a mixed
system of direct elections and election through proportiona.
representation. Another feature common to those countries
was that the size of thair electorate was much, lower
than that of India. "Uo just cannot transplant a system",
he said.

'ELECTORAL REFORM .UNDER pMMgJS^CQnSTMq^STUDY'
Chiof Elocti'-n Commies ion of R.V.S.Pori Saatri
said today that electoral refsrm was a continuous process
and i t was the constant nffnrt of the commission to
study what reforms could bo introduced.
Talking to newsmen, ho said neither ho nor the
Commission was nvorse to the examination of fresh ideas
to rofocm the electoral systom. However he said any
frosh idea would have to be considered in the light of the
circumstancos. existing in the country.
Ho said that an the issue of State funding of
elections, ho had recently expressed the view that under
the existing circumstances, this could be limited to
extension of ass is tango in kind only.
He said his view uas nothing now and had bean
in fact expressed by his predecessors. Mr* R.K#Trivodi
and Mr. S.L.Shakdher also.
• There ucro countries like Uost Germany where
State funding of the olootions was being done. In West
Germany, there existed a clear-cut party system. The
electorate was small and cash subsidy was provided
to polit ical parties according to their performance
in a previous election.
- 10? -
He said the different situation existing in
India would bo clear if thape uns a comparison uith
Uest Germany, India has a multi-party system and there
is the phenomenon -of multiplicity of candidates. The
parties split up and now parties came into facing. .
There could- be difficulties in the disbursement of cash
subsidies. Then there uas the problem of black money.
ffir. Sastri said it s t i l l did not mean there
could be no examination of fresh ideas. But this uas an
area requiring careful consideration.
There uero already several suggestions to- extend
the assistance in kind for the conduct of the-'elections.
These included the provision of more elector?.}, rolls
copies, take over of the task of issuing idontity slips
to the voters, printing of pamphlets, provision of
coupons to candidates to buy diesol for the electioneerir
and free mailing of election material.
There could be. further saving of the expenses
by cutting dnun the time for electioneering and by
'introducing the systom of electronic voting.
He said ho had no closed vieu on the issue
but one had to sea uhnt was practicable. He said the

PJL9PkE'S PO^ER. ASSERTS IN ASSAM
By Indar G i t
People's pouer has again exprassed itself
decisivoly in Assam. Tho AflSU led ably and
courageously by Sri Prafulla fflahanta and Sri
Bhrigu Phukkn and the AAGSP, led by Sri Biraj
Sharma and others uhich spearheaded the agitation
against the foreigners, have bean voted to power
in the Assembly poll in the shape of the neuly-
formed Asom Gana Parishad. I raised the matter
at the national level in my column on December 4,
1979, entitled; Assam is Not For Burning. I Wrofco;
'People's pouur has assarted itself magnificuntly
in Assam..... Most paqple outside Assam have little
idea of all that has happened......About a fortnight
age, Assam witnessed for six days an unprecedented
mass Satyagraha......in the"finest Gandhian tradition...
Lakhs of Assamese courted arrest to demand postponement
of the poll until the aliens issue was satis
rasolvad......What precisely is the issuo?
- 208 •*
The- than Prime Minister* Sri Charan Singh
and the Deputy Prime Minister Sri Y.B.Chavan,
chose to go ahead with the Lok Sabha poll.
However, the election could be held in only two
of the State's 14 constituencies. Srimati Indira
Gandhi acted within two days of her taking over as
Prime Minister early in January, 1980. Dr. S.D.
Sharma was rushed off to Guuahati as her special
emissary. On February 2, Srimati Gandhi and Giani
Zail Singh, then Home Minister met the Assam
students' delegation, An accord urns reached in
principle. It was braadly agreed that 'no election
will be hald in Assam until the names of all
foreign nationals are removed from the electoral
rolls'. But the agitation leaders soon discovered
that what had been agreed was old hat wrapped up in
familiar official jargon1. The accord failed to
answer five basic questions. Who are the foreigners?
How are they to be detected? When will they
be deported? Uhen will the electoral rolls be revised
and the postponed poll held? How will the
Assamese be enabled to preserve their identity,
culture and heritage? Trouble erupted again and
continued......
; - 209' -
The backdropa is necsssary to understand
the basis of the historic accord reached in the
early hours of Agust 15. last, thc_> latest poll
and the future of the Stato and indeed of the
region. Various explanations are being offered
for the triumph of the AGP and the dabacle of.the
Congress—I. But one basic fact stands out as
empasisad by an astute Congress-I campaigner in a
candid talk last weeks 'Ue ware not fighting a
political campaign. Ue wore fighting a. movement.'
Yet a movement which was charged with passion
and great deal of emotion'. Switching over
briefly to Hindi after a pause, he said:'Khoon
bola hai! - and asked: Hou do you expect the
people and some leaders to forget all the excesses,
including rape of dear nnas in front of their
eyes?' The vote was undoubtedly earned by
erstwhile AASU and AAGSP leaders through six
years of struggle, sacrifice and suffering. However
the 1977 Janata wave also holds a parallel on one
score: the people's anger. A Congress-I leader
recalled how he had cautioned Srimati Gandhi prior
to the 1977 Lok Sabha poll: 'Madam, we can fight the
Opposition Parties. But hou do we fight people's
wrath?11
- 210 -
Assam, has traditionally boona Congrass-I
State. The party bagged 10 of t'no 14 Lok Snbha seats
in 1977 GUon whan the. 3anata wave swept tha Hindi
heartland. But the Assamese people were forced
to sit up when in September 1976 the than Chidf
Election Commissioner, Sri S.L.Shakdher, sounded
as alarm. He not only expressed concern over the
continuing influx of foreigners into tho region
but warned that unless t a influx uas stopped the
'foreigners must como to dominate the region. The
fat uas in the fire when preparations wore
undertaken for a Lok Sabh.a byo-elaction from
Flangaldoi in mid-1979 bssn raised against some
70000 foreigners wore on the electoral rolls.
Objections had been raised against some 7000 names.
The problem uas nofneu. The issue uas taken up time
and again by Assam with the CQntral -leaders
beginning with Neharu himself Neu Delhi repeatedly
promised to deport tha foreigners and end the
infiltration. But little was allowed to be .done
by deep vested interests. ThG foreigners provided
the Congress-I uith convenient and reliable
vote' banks. f'leanwhilu, quid pro quo continued
and so dia infiltration.
- 211 -
Assam's youth and Intellectuals hopofuly
waited for the State's political leaders to move
in the matter. But nothing happened. AASU then
stepped forward and so also the intellectuals
under the banner of Assam Gana Sangram Parishad,
Initially, the movement posed a dilemma for a State
which was Congress at heart. But before long
it involved almost the entire Assamese population.
Even the latest poll appears to have posed a
predicament for many including the youth as reflected
in a significant aside to the unfortunate episode
in which the helicopter of Mr. Amitabh Bachchan was
damaged by.AGE's young volunteers. One of the
students who was among those hurling stones came
up to Shri Bachchan thrust a note into his hand
rejoined the crowd and again started hurling
stones at the helicopter. The note which saddened
Sri Bachchan read "You are one of our superstars.
We love you and admire you. When you were fighting
for your life we satup all night and prayed for
you. But we have sworn to fight for our survival
and for the AGP. Ue are today opposed to the
Congress-I. You should not have come. Please go
away. Ue still love you".
- 212 -
This brings us to a crucial question - a
question-which is being asked widely: how
'regional and parochial is tho AGP? I am afraid the
AGPis in this case? more sinned. As I ventured
to submit on Doordarshan's network as the anchorman
for the special election telecasts, the AGP cannot
in a l l fairness be dubbod as a regional party
in the generally understood sense of thQ term -
l ike the T.olugu Desam or the DPIK or the AlADf K.
Undoubtedly the AGP is restricted to Assam and
has a limited regional base. But i ts main plank
is s t i l l the foreigners issue and implementation
of the Accord oven as i t stands for the State's
speedy economic progress and a better deal for
i ts long-neglected people A AS U and AAGSP clearly
rendered great service by raising a v i t a l
national issue and compelling the CQntre to shoulder
i ts constitutional and m«ral responeibility on
the question of foreigners. The AGP can be likened
closest to Sheikh abdullah's National Conference
a party with a national and secular outlook. This
is not to say that regional parties l ike Telugu
Desam lack nationalism and are anti-national.
- 213 -
Tho Assamese are tradi t ional ly nationalist
and secular in. their outlook and approach. They
ara essentially polite and peace loving. They
are inclined to take l i f e easy and largely
believe in "lahe lahe" slowly, slowly. But once
roused they can be very tough and invincible as
shown :by history. The Mughals mounted 17 invasions
of Kamrup, as Assam has been tradi t ional ly
knoun. But they failed to conquer theState. In fact
the great Mughal General Mir 3umla, met his
Uaterlook at the hands of the'great ahom General
Lachit Barphookan whose famous saying which has
relevance even in to-day's India, is inscribed
in letters of gold on the entrance of Shillong's
beautiful Raj Bhauan. Said the General: "My
Uncle is not greater than my countryH. (Lachit
Barphiokan had his own uncle beheaded for turning
a t ra i tor and joining hands with Mir 3umla).The
word 'foreigners' has been deliberately distor.ted
to confuse the issue. The Assamese are opposed
only to the foreigners, not the Assamese Muslims
and octsiders from elsewhere in India wh« include
large numbers of Biharis Nepalis Marwaris and
Punjabis.
- 214 -
Not many today knsu or remember that Assam
almost went to Pakistan as a Muslim majority
province but for a hard struggle put up by one of
i ts great sons and freedom fighters; Gopinath
Bordoli. Eventually, sylhet a predominantly
Muslim majority areas uas detached from Assam
province as the State uas then known, and given
to Pakistan-and Mssam enabled at Gandhiji's
instance to continue with India. Those who l ive
in Sylhet and many who have in f i l t ra ted from
erstwhile East Pakistan or Bangladesh., i t is
said have n«fe given up their dream, .In fact, now a
feu knowledgeable People in. the region have heaved
a sigh of re l ie f -over the majority secured by the
AGP. Prof. G.G.Swell, who is a former Deputy
Speaker of the Lok Sabha and hails from Shillojjg .
told me on Friday in Parliament's Central Hall:
"The United Minorities Front was hoping this time
to be a deciding factor Thank God the. «GP and i t s
leaders who are nationalists, have won a majority.
Otherwise, the whole of the north-east and i t s
affairs may have been inficenced or eveo run
by remote control from Dacca. The danger is real
and i t behoves us to take serious notice of th i s " .
- 215 -
Uharj do ue co from hora? Fortunately both
Sri Mah:inta and Sri Phukan have spokan in tho
right accents and idiom and what is moru, carry
sober end sonsibldhoads over thair young shoulders.
They hav/e also the .benefit of sound advice from
Sri Dinesh Gosuami, who triumphant return to the,
Lok Sabha should help greatly strengthen the
Opposition and Parliament, and others. ThQ Lok
Sabha will also stand to gain greatly by the
election of Sri Shahabuddin, Janata1s General
Secretary, and tha return of Sri Somnath Chatterjee
of the CPM. Importantly, the Press has been largely
unfair to Sri Shahabuddin. He won his poll on a
socialist and secular platform and, according to
his solemn word, "did not even once refer to the
Shahbano case",' The AGP Ministry will need to take
tho earliest opportunity to do two things. First
reassure the genuine minorities as against illegal
immigrants that their interests are safe. Second,
take the earliest steps to implement the Assam
accord which has received the overwhelming
support of all sections of the Assamese people
barring those uho have voted for the UFIF and have
other designs.
- 216 -
Tha UMF luadar, Sri Golam Osmani, has
alraady thrown a challenge) at the AGP. Ha has
reportedly announend that tha UMF uill oppose
implGmQntatian of the Accord* The supporters
of the UMF may have reason to foal let down by
tha Congress-I against all that they had to
suffer in supporting the party during tho 1983
elaction. But Sri Rajiv G :ndhi showed statemanship
in hammering out tha Accord and ipjagreaing to
dissolve) the Assembly, based on a poll which was
illegal, unconstitutional and immoral, and order
frash elections. But the challe.nge thrown by
Sri Osmani is not only to the new State Government.
It is even more so to New Delhi. The challenge
must be met jointly by the Centre and the State
Government and some joint framework evolved for
speedy implementation of the Accord. Thought
must also be given to tomorrow - and infiltration
ended. The State has already suffered greatly
over the past six years. This time to open a
new chapter. The UMF and its supporters should
not be left in doubt on one score Assam, as I
wrote six years ago, is not for horning - or
for gifting away •
Assam Tribune,Gwahati,24.12.85

The Central Governrnsnt has at last vasrsd round to
the view that ' there should be some form of public
funding of elections,, This move is aimed at" ensuring
s t r ic t compliance by trade and industry with the laws
of the land. The proposalf announced by Union Finace
Minister V/.P.Singh the other day, is intended to curb
tax evasion* The day following the announcement,
Chief Election Commissioner, R.K.,Trivedi declared that
he uas in favour of "partial State funding of election
expenses." Indeed, he suggested over tuo yeTS ago,
that a fund be created to meet the poll expenses of
candidates . 3ut the su viestion uas not considered
seriously by the ce,ntre. • I" October last , Prime
Minister Rajiv G andhi,: .speaking, at the Press Club of' , • • • '
India, said that there uas no proposal for state
funding of elections. But over the years the demand
for state funding of polls, has been ypiced not only
by the leaders of various political parties but also
by the intelligentsia. Many seminars on electoral
reforms, held in recent months in various parts of
the country, have favoured state subsidisation of electi
expanses to curb the pernicious influence of big
money on elections, BlapH money becomes ubiquitous
- 218 -
during qencjral elections. To eliminate the influence
of black money on aluctions, the; contrc has recently
brought in legislation lifting the ban on company
donations to political parties. But thore is a
great divergence of opinion on the measure. The
Opposition parties are of the view that the lifting
of the ban has increased- the role of big money in
Indian poli t ics. They dispute the Government1sto the Companies Act will eliminate
contention that the amendment^corruption from public
l i fe . Company donations to politicsl parties had been
in vogue t i l l 1969. Uhen they uere.banned by an
amendment to th^ Act. I t is a fact that the role of
big money in elections has increased disturbingly in
thn recent past. Tho more prestigious an elsction,
the grestsr the danger of money bags trying to distort
the clectoralprocGss.\
More than tuo decades ago, the Committee on
prevention of Corruption said, in its report, that tha
public suspicion about the prevalence of corruption at
high political levels had been strengthened by tho
manner in uhich funds usre being collected by political
parties, especially during elections. Tho suspicion,
the Committe observed, attached not only to the ruling
party but also to tho Opposition parties. The nation's
experience in the past tuo decades has borno out uhat
- 219 - ^
the Committe said. 'And many contend, with some
justification, that the recent removal of the 1969
ban on political donations by companies has provided
big business uith an opportunity to rule the country
through their lobbies. The nexus betueen money bags and
elections persists glaringly. But nou a powerful
national consensus is emerging in favour of breaking
that nexus. This could be broken to a great extent
through state funding of elections. The Government
need not go the whole hog. To begin uith, state
funding could be introduced partially, as suggested
by the Chief Election Commissioner. It could be in
the form of frae supply of electoral rolls and
provision of stationery for identity sl ips.
The emer~|ing national consensus on the need for
some sort of state subsidisation of election expenses
deserves to be cashed in on by the Centre. Admittedly,
any such scheme uo'ild be beset by difficulties, uhat
uith the beuildoring multiplicity of political
parties and the increasing number of frivolous
candidates. To check these candidates, the Election
Commission has suggested a hike in the security
deposit. These difficulties uould not be insurmountable
- 220 -
once tho l^ad^rs of al l poli t ical parties put thoir
heads together tn rrrivc ^t an undor stand iriq, During
tho brief 3en.?tn r - lo , tho C.entrG did give ssri'--is
thought tc the id*ia of state funding of pel ls . Indeed,
this question figured in the Constituent' Assembly.
Several committees uhich later considered the idea
favoured progressive shifting of tho burd'en of
legitimate election expenses an to tho Stntc. Sursly,* • '. . o n
tho time has nou come for the nation to acton^that
suggestion. Such a rof.orm cauld also improve tho
reprascntativa character of our legislators.

There wars throe major protagonists in the
recently concluded Assam elections: Ths Asom Gana
Parishad(AGP) which has uon a famous victory by
securing an absolute majority of 64 in a House of 126
by in effect contesting only 103 seats (one
excludes the showing of the flag in the Borak
valley and the three seats the AGP left and
uncontestod in the Brahmaputra valley) and soven
of the 10 Lrik Sabha seats it contested: the.
Congress(l) which has been routed, failing to win
a single scat in as many as soven of the 13 districts
of the crucial Brahmaputra valley, the heartland of
Assam: and the United Minorities Front (UMF) whoso
debut in Assam's politics (it.has secured 17
Assembly seats and one Lok Sabha seat) has been no
loss spectacular than that of the AGP.
i2JD.9A Pa,rlti.gs, ,r,o
Other parties in the fray who have something
to show for their efforts are the Congrass(s)
which has won four Assembly soats and the CP
which has won two Assembly seats. Among other
- 222 -
uinnars are the Plains Tribal Council of Assam
(thrae), tha Socialist Unity'Centra of India(ona)
the Unitod Tribal National Liberation Front(one),
the People's Democratic Forurn of Karbi Anglong .
(which .was backed by tha AGP) one, and the Karbi
Anglong People's Conference (one). The KAPC
candidate who formally fought' the election as
an independent (as indeed did the candidates of
all these parties except the PTCA which is a
recognised regional party) has now joined the
AGP* One of the six independent candidates who
won from the Algapur constituency in Cachar
district- has also joined the AGP and is in fact
a member of the Mahanta Cabinet.
Though the CPI, the 3anatarthe B3P and the
Lok 3al, four national palitical parties which
uare in the fray have drawn a blank, this does
not necessarily mean that they have been wiped
out in Assam. This is certainly not the case
either with the CPI or the '-B3P*
Complete polarisation
Since the only issue in the elections was
the Assam accord, it is easy enough to see why
there was such a complete polarisation in the
voting behaviour. Though the accord itself
- 223 -
is a-document for all men and for oil seasons, it
acouirad in the view of tha overwhelming majority
of that section' of the population of tha State
which supported' and participated in the Assam
agitation, the appearance of a victory symbol, as
a document which incorporated, even if in an
inadequate form, the fulfilment of their basic
demands. Contrarily, it acquired in the view
of those who had reason to believe that tha whole
Assam agitation was diroctod against them the
appearance of a sinstor device intended to
formalise the feared deprivation of their basic
rights through disfranchisement and expulsion.
The extraordinary celebrations of "victory"
by agitation supporters after the accord was signed,
and tho failure of the Congress (i) adequately to
explain tho actual provisions of the accord fed
those apprehensions. To be fair to the Congress (!)
thore could not be much "explaining" quite simply
because any honest explanation or even an
examination of the provisions of the accord would
have revealed that it was at bast a face-saving
device, a way .out sought by the C0ntre and the
- 224 -
agitation leadership, both of uhorn ucntad an and
to the impasso. Developments in tha coming months
uiil tellunathsr tho breakthrough uas sought
by thesa two apparent adversaries for tho ssma
rsasons.
Canqress(l)'s loss
The Congress(l) had really no answer to the
claim of tha AGP that only the HGP could implement
the accord. While tho overwhelming majority of the
ethnic Assamese people voted for the AGP* thus taking
auay at lesst a substantial part of the Congress
vote (after all the Congress as a party and
movement has deep roots in Assam), the party's
more solid vote bank of the immigrant rtuslim
peasantry of East Bengal origin and, to a lesser
extant, the Hindus of East Bengal refugee origin,
both of uhom felt that the accord was directed
against them, was severely eroded. The boneficiary
in each case was the UMF. Even the tea garden
labour vote, once considered another solid vote
bank of the Congress, was this time split and the
AGP made quite unexpected inroads in areas in
uppor Assam uhere the Congress had traditionally
never faced a challenge.,
- 225 -
Apart from the victorias of the ,iCP and the
disasters of the CongrGSs(l) the most notable
feature of the ri33am poll results was the
emergence of the United Minorities Front as a .
powerful force capable of successfully mobilising
the minorities on a political platform. In the
immediate impact it has made, the UMF no doubt
appears to hav/e damaged the political fortunes of
the Congress(l) most. Indeed it is difficult to
imagine the Congress (i) over recovering its
dominance in the State if the UMF succeeds in
consolidating the gains it has made and acquires
legitimacy as the party of the minorities. For ,
the UMF also threatens to perpetuate the process
of polarisation of minority votes, though not
necessarily always against the Congress (I).
In other words, the political future that
the UWF sees for itself in Assam is rather like that
of the Muslim League in Kerala - a party uhich
by acquiring near total control over one
particular section of soceity and by mobilising it
separately on a political platform expects that
any party or combination of parties will have to
bargain with it in ordar to come to power. Since
sociaty in Assam is even more fragmented than
- 226 -
it is in Kerala along not merely religious, caste
and ethnic Unas but also along linguistic lines
(not withstanding the near universl acceptance
of the Assamese language in the Brahmaputra
v/ally) such a gradual organisation of every
segment and subsegment along religious, caste,
ethnic and linguistic divides (though some of
these overlap each other) is a necessary condition
for a party like the UPIF to survive and
consolidate itself.
Indeed Mr, Golam Osmani, General Secretary
of the UMF, said as much soon after his party's
victories when he called upon all the communities
in Assam to organise themselves separately. For,
according to him, Assam is a land of the minorities
where everyone, including the ethnic Assamese
pacple, is a minority - a formulation calculated
to provoke the worst passions of the Assamese
people,
The problem, rather unique to Assam, is
that there continues to be a contradiction
between the terms "people of Assam H and "Assamess
people". Of course, the dichotomy exists in
- 227 -
every State of the Union. But in Assam this
condition has preceded (indeed, according to
some, disrupted) the vary process of tho
formation of an Assamase nationality* though
other factors of histroy and geography and
demography as well as the late entry of Assam
into British India have also contributed to
this disruption.
Victory beyond expectations
That the AGP would do well in the elections
uas not unexpected; but it was only in the
later stages of the campaign that one realised
that the scale of its victory uould be beyond
the expectations of its most enthusiastic
supporters. Howeverf given the essential
similarity, indeed the continuity, between the
Assam agitation at its height and the election
campaign, one could anticipate that the AGP
wave and victories would be notable in the very
areas uhera the support to the agitation uas
the strongest. Indeed the AGP's victories
(see box) were directly proportional to the
extent and scale of responses to the HASU'S
- 228 -
call for tha boycott of the February 19B3 pells.
As noted in thase columns (THE HINDU, September
10 and December 12) the AGP wave remained confined,
even while growing in intensity day by day as the
Polling date neared, to-areas covering roughly 68
Assembly constituencies! 54 Assembly constituencies
where polling in 1983 was less than 30 per cent*
four constituencies where there was no polling
because only the Congrass(l) candidates filed
nominations and 10 to the 16 constituencies
where polling could not be held or completed
because of violence*
It is in these 68 constituencies out of the
106 in the Brahmaputra valley that the new party
about to be floated by the pro~agitation elements
was presumed, other things being equal, to have
a good response. Of the 64 seats the AGP has won
as many as 60 have been from among these ,68
constituencies•

Enormous goodwi l l
The new AGP Government has assumed o f f i ce under
enormous goodwi l l (and t h i s i t s e l f i s going to be a
great burden). The suear ing- in of the AGP Minis t ry
on the morning of December 24 at an open a i r
ceremony i n the Nehru Stadium i n Guuahati was
witnessed by several tens:of thousands enthusiast ic
spectators i n the jampacked arena. The contrast
- 233 -
with the swearing-in of tha Hiteswar Snikia Ministry
was striking. The '20 mam bar Council of Ministers is
nothing if not youthful* There are roprasantctiyas
on tho two-tier Ministry from most sections of the
State's people - tha two main plains tribal
communities, tha Boro and the niching; the tea
garden labour community; the Scheduled Castas;
the Ahoms; and of course the upper cast Hindus. The
only Muslim is the independent member from Algapur
who joined the.party on the evo of Cabinet formation.
The v/ast masses of the immigrant Muslim
peasantry of East Bengal origin and the Bengali
Hindus of. sottlar or refuges Origin have n°t
found raprasentation in the Council of Ministers.
The fact that candidates from those groups set up
by tho AGP wora all defeated only reinforces the
argument that the HCP has yet to acquire credibility
in the eyes of this section as a party that can
Represent their legitimate interests.
Lack of experience
The Government also faces some- grave problems,
to put it mildly. Tho least serious of thQae is the
total lack of ministerial or evon legislative
•. 234 -
experience. Everyone of the ruling party f'lLAs is
entering the Assembly for th-a. first time - perhaps
a record for any legislature party anyuhero in the
uorld. But this is simply a problem of learning the
alphabet of Government and legislation which should
not prove formidable for the fiLAs and Ministers
almost all of uhom are highly articulate and gifted.
A far grav/er problem the neu Government faces is
that of i ts oun supporters, especially those uho u i l l
be recruiting themselves in the coming days. This,
the neu entrepreneurial class of Assamese gentry, is
thoroughly amoral and out to prove to itself and
the rest of the uprld that i t can compete successfully
uith the sharpest of the uheeler-dealsrs and fly-by-
night operators. There is l i t t l e reason to doubt
either i ts talent or its amorality and rapacity. One
can see the types all around the AGP offices and
around the neuly elected MLAs,
Another problem the Government has to face is
the bureaucracy. The majority of the senior
bureaucracy in Assam uhich appears to be benignly
indifferent to the neu dispensation u i l l perhaps
pose feu problems; but a smaller section uhich
- • 2 3 5 -
uas opsnly partisan touards the agitation and those
yho uere incurably hostile to it might be troublesome,
• the former, with its hightened expectations, more than
the lat ter .
Gravest probIsm
Finally, the perhaps the gravest of al l , there
is the problem of lack of a clear understanding of the
complexities of Assamese society, the tensions and
hostil i t ies inherent in it and the fact that these can be
resolved not through pious calls for peace, harmony and
integration but only through stuggle. What the AGP
leaders and even their informed ideologues appear to'
lack is a sense of Assam's oun real history, an
understanding of its harshness. One is almost persuaded
to believe that not merely uas Assamese society an
idyllic social formation entirely devoid of internal
tensions uith those feu foreigners uho came imperceptibly
merging themselves into the mainstream, but that it- is
possible to restore- this state of imagined innocence.
One suspects that underlying all the passion and energies
released over the last six years of sustained
agitation is a fundamentally innocent vieu of Assamese
- 236 -
life and society born out of a reluctance to look
squarely at Assam's own hardly harmonious past, of
uhat the past held and what thn future 1 holds. But
this lession too'will be learnt; for history has a
uay of forcing i ts lessons on even the most .unwilling
of students.

The Prime Minister, Mr Rajiv Gandhi,, meant uhnt
said uhen he assarted, during his inaugural address at t
Congress centenary celebrations, that he intended to bre
the nexus between political parties and vested interests
that to do this ho would make political parties fully nc
able for the mincy they -receive - nd spend. Should the
government succead in this endeavour, it will have done
more for the moral health for this society than any of i
predecessors. But the very gravity of the task makes it
imperative for the government to work out its scheme for
the reform of electoral finance with the utmost care. T
begin with it should ba obvious to both the finance mini:
nnd the Prime Minister that merely repealing the ban on
company donations, which the government did uhilo presen'
the budget for the current year, will not suffice.
Election expenses that have swollen to such monstrous
proportions undor the impact of inflation and of tho
separation of the parliamentary from the stnto assembly
elections, that voluntary funding can meet only a fracti<
of them. But even if industries did meet the uhole of
this need, it would strengthen the link between politics
vested interests instead of weakening it. In fact ituaj

triggered the populist backlash of tho late tsixties
and early 'seventies,

- 238 -
The only way to brook the noxus is to sot up a stafc^
fund to finance not just the stnto nnd national elections
but also the day-to-dny activity of the? politicnl pnrtion .
Uhat is more, if poli t ical parties arc to act as umbrella-, f•••<•
a variety of interests and not as tho. spokesmen of pnrtici;,'~:
dominant interests , than the funds thnt arc ph cad at tfrjfx
disposal must be sufficient to make i t unnecessary for thf-m
to look for other sources of finance. Tho proposal for stnto
funding of election expenses has been put forward repnfiirod.lv,
but has come to grief on a variety of real and imaginary
obstacles, . Unile i t must be conceded that no system can
ba perfect, tho system thot now prevails in Scandinavia and
in some other countries of western Europe i s , with appropriat
modifications, the best one for this country. This is
to set up a state fund of Rs.?5 to Rs,10Q crares a year to
be divided between recognised pol i t ical parties on the
basis of the votes obtained by them in the previous general
election. This enn be modified to suit Indian requirements
by reserving, say, tan per cant of the fund to mead tha
day-to-day expanses of the poli t ical parties and using the
balance to finance the central and state elections* One-
half of this can be divided among poli t ical parties on the
basis of the votes obtained in the Lok Sabha elections,

and the remainder can bo divided•firstly between the stat

The Congress plenary marking the centenary
colebrntions concluded on a note of enthusiasm tempered
with a mature sense of optimism. The 'Centenary Resolve'
exuded sense and sensibility devoid of sound nnd fury.
The centenary of an organisation uith the tradition and
sueep of the Congress could aptly be an occasion of both
solemnity and introspections, pot merely of gaity and
and ebullience. The resolve to l if t the masses from
the morass of poverty and the thematic stress on secular
and socialist ideals came naturally and effortlessly.
The Prime Minister and the party President, Mr.Rajiv
Gandhi, sat the tone for the discussion. He minced no
words in lashing out at the politics of cliques and
feudal overlordism even in. his own .party as he was
unsparing of the opposition that was out to cut at the
country's democratic roots and destroy i ts unity and
integrity,
FOCUS: Fir, Rajiv. Gandhi turned the focus on the outstanding
problems in terms of the need for a new social order,
reshaping the economic scheme and- infusing freshness of
approach in the political value--system, Modifications
as such need not be taken., as deviations; nor the shifts
on emphasis as radical departures. The basic point is to

adhere to the broad policy formulations evolved over the
decades. . For the goal of achieving technological
revolution no longer belongs to the world of abstracts
but is part of living reality. The advancements in the
sphere of science leave little room for rigid or dogmati
postulates. The promise of advancement revolves on new
space - time concept whose impact has a direct bearing
on human behavioural patterns and underlines the
irrelevance of the dogmas of 'isms' as of strait jackotei
ideologies. This was the lesson of the industrial
revolution whdfth brought about a radical change in
human attitudes even if not wholly of a desirable type.
In terms of political advance, the Dresent century has
had little to offer. Yet, the nuclear breakthrough
has brought humanity to the threshold of a revolution
of ideas and conceptualitios. It has been no unmixed
blessing as manifested in the portents of armaments race
and the star wars programmes. However, what we are
concerned about at the moment is the imperative of
attitudinal transformation that has become increasingly
necessary in the wake of the leadership's pronounced
stress social change.
The Congress centenary has unfolded a message
opening new visas of promise. The strength of the Congre

is rooted in the solid strength of i ts rank nnd file
and from outstanding contributions of the charismatic
personalities «-t Gandhi, Nehru and Indira Gandhi* This
holds good for Fir Rajiv Gandhi tod uho is at the helm
of affairs at a cruoial as uell as a cri t ical juncture
of the natxTn:s r.istory. Socialism in itsolf cannot
be a solution unless i t is practised as a concert
and not as a credo of economic fundamentalism.
The role, of the rank and fil8 assumes special
relevance and significance. This has accentuated the
need for building committed cadres uith grassroots
contact. It is cloar thnt in the prevalent reali ty,
t+ie Congress has to move both as a party machine and as
a popajlnr movement,
While the'deliberations at Bombay did provide
hope for speedy and effective steps, the fact that the
organisational elections had to be put off has Caused
understandable concern in the bulk of the rank and
fi le . The impression that some of the PCC-Is had been
dragging their feet or looking for escape routes cannot
be uholly avoidable. This would riot be to the linking

of any elections even when it has involved risking
setbacks to his can party ( e.g. Assam or Punjab),
This flous from his dsep faith in democratic
functioning and firm commitment in the efficacy of
giving the democratic institutions a broad base.
The organisational polls do not fall in the same
category as of a general election but they do play
a crucial role in strengthening the roots of
organisational democracyi The electoral processes
of the Congress Party, no doubt, on tail an
elaborative as well as an expansive exercise with
the vast spread of the party network from block to
the PCC levels and onto the AICC level. Ths party
elections had to be postponed from time to time durinc
the last ten years due to circumstances often beyond
control. But there is no reason why some of the PCCs
should be seeking extension from time- to time. This
only highlights tha need for trimming up the
organisational leadership at the state or what may
be described at the middle rungs. Early holding
of the party poll uill enable the .genuine workers
to play an effective role in the task of "Build
India" programme enumerated at Bombay.

The enthusiasm gonerated by the Centanary
Resolve has bean massiue and ths lead given at
Bombay has placed a great responsibility on the
partyment at various levels. Jhe spectacle of

far from edifying. It has provided the denigrators

against infiltrator's and sneakers oven in the
broad national" sweep. fir, Rajiv Gandhi's call to
guard against the evil of bogus membership must
drive home the point in its sharper and uider-
ramifit.cations.
Mr, Rajiv Gandhi has spoken of the need
to amalgamate scientific temper uith the glory
of tradition. This coupled uith the asset of
ideology uould help infuse cohesion in the party
as also in getting over the hiatus created by the
- 245 -
psychosis of generation gap. It is the ideas
that matter and oid and new lose meaning in the

Former Sri Lankan Prime Minister Sirimavo Sandaranike has

the troubled island-nation's ethnic problem.
Addressing a nous conference this evening, hours after
the Government had announced rostorab ion of her civic
rights Mrs. Bandarnaike sa^d that the problem had gone
beyond the hands of herself and the President and called
on the Tamil militonts to lay down arms nnd support the
country in i ts hour of cr is is ,
"I don*t think that Tamil people in the north and east
want to live with violence and.that peace loving Tamils want
violent people as their leader* The demonstrations at
Batticaloa and other places amply demonstrated this
Factrt, she said.
Asked whether the move could be a precursor to the
emergence of a government - opposition consensus on a
solation to the Tamil ethnic conflict. Mrs Bandaranike said,
"President 3ayeuardene and I cannot resolve the problem,"
The only answer is to hold a gene ral election. Let the
terrorists lay down their arms and come and contest. It
is only then the Government in power can negotiate with

STATESMAN,NEU DELHI
"4.1 .1986

The tuo-day conference of tha chief electoral
officers of the states and the Union Territories
did uell to emphasise once again the need to 'purify'
the political system by reforming the electoral process.
That there is need for an overhaul in our electoral
system can be seen from the fact that since independence
almost a hundred political parties of varied hues and
shades have come up and fought elections besides a
large number of independents. Underlining the
importance of parties in a democracy Ualter Bagehot
said that "the House of Commons livas in a stata
of potential perpetual choice: at any moment it can
choose a ruler and dismiss a rulsr And therefore party
is inherent in it, is bone of its bone and breath of its
breath". Houever, unfortunately, in India there has been
more of dissipation than galvani3§tion of political
forces. As a result, there is little uonder if no
constructive opposition has emerged.* Instead there has
been endless proliferation, weakening the unity of the
nation and distorting the idea of a secular state. There
has also been divergent opinion abcut the large number
of independents fighting elections and the money pouer.
The conference rightly suggested that the
legally and constitutionally recognised organisations
might be provided certain facilites by the state and the
independents asked to deposit a bigger amount as security.
- 251 ~
Cash funding of polls would not solvG the problem.
There is no gainsaying that in countries like
Australia, Sri Lanka, Britain and Dapan there is
ceiling on election expenses and a provision to
that offact does exist in our oloctoral laus as
uoll« But it is a moot question whether money
power makes substantial difference in the behaviour
of the voters, Neharu for instance, strongly felt
that money had a negative rather than a positive
influence* A similar point can be made about tho
media, especially in a country like India, The
indopandonts cannot bo wished auay. The best may

EARLY REVIVAL OF PAK PMRTIES UNLIKELY
An almost total lack of public enthusiasm
and political activity mar the post-martial law
scenario in Pakistan as it is becoming increasingly
clear that the banned political parties will have
to ga in for fresh registration with the Election
Commission before becoming legally functional*1
reports PTI.
Press reports suggest that there uould be
no automatic revival of the political parties. The
Presidential order of 1979 which out-laued them
has not been repealed. A fresh registration may
take as much as 12 to 18 months.
The preconditions for registration as a
political party require submission of party accounts,
manifesto, an affirmation to the Islamic ideology of
Pakistan and a list of central and provincial
office—bearers.
Political analysis underscore rather
conflicting public postures adopted by President
Zia-ul-Haq and the Prime Minister, Mr. Mehammad
Khan Dunejo, en the crucial question of the future
political structure in the country.
- 253 -
Gan Zia has expressed himself clearly in
favour of a partyless system and ruled out tha
possibility of joining any political party. His
continuation as Chief of ths Army Staff even after
lifting eight and a half years of martial law may
also preclude such a possibility.
On the other hand, Fir. Dunejo seems to be
going ahead with his decision to turn the Official
Parliamentary Group (OPG) in the Assambly into thQ
Fluslim League (Pagaro group).
He has already secured resignations of the
his C-binet colleagues. Indications are that only
those prepared to join Mr. 3unejo's Muslim League
(Pagaro group) would be inducted into the Cabinet, and
a move seen as a pressure tactic by the opponents
of the right wing party.
A leading political commentator has pointed
out that the lifting of martial law in the country
had passed as a non-event as far as the people
were concerned.
People's apathy is seen here as a gep between
the Government and popular perceptions. "Eight long
years of martial law have created an atmosphere of
political stagnation which has not withered away
with its formal withdrawalM, the commentator wrote in a
leading daily.
- 254 -
Political analysts also feel that Gen* Zia's
continuation as Chief of the Army Staff even after
becoming a civilian President has failed to convince
the people that the army had delinked itself from
politics and administration.
They don't see any distinct change in the
enormous authority wielded by Gen Zia before and
after the lifting of martial law.
Gen Zia at his own discretion can appoint
the Prime Minister Chiefs of Staff, Chief 3ustice
of Pakistan, Chief Election Commissioner and
Governors of the provinces in consultation with the
Prime Minister.
Meanwhile, a top Movement for the Restoration
of Democracy (PTRD) leader yesterday hinted at a
possible change in strategy in view of the post-
martial law situation in the country.
Nawabzada Nasrullah Khan told reporters in
Lahore that Gen Zia's speech on December 30 lifting
martial law in the country was "full of venom for
political procees and proved that he was determined
to continue the policy of confrontation with
democratic forces".
- 255 -
He warned that if the Government insisted
on pursuing its own scheme of things, the fiRQ
would ask for a mid-term poll in the country.
Ths MRD Central Exacutive is expected to
meet in Peshawar in the third ueek of this month
to outline its strategy in view of the changed
political situation.
fir. Khan said.the withdrawal of martial
law after drastically changing ths 1973 constitution
made little difference.
"Non-party Assemblias are there, public
meetings and processions are banned and than the
civilian President is also holding the office of the
Chief of the Army Staff, which is a bad' precedent".
"Gen. Zia is the symbol of the army rule",
he claimed. He said the forthcoming MRD meeting
would consider the question of registration of
political parties and take stock 6f its five-year-
old struggle.
The MRD, he said, was committed to restoring
the 1973 constitution in its original form and
holding fresh elections under it.

R^AJJE:DEMOCRACY
President Zia-ul-Haqf s decision to l i f t martial law and
the ecstatic claim of the Prime Minister, Mr -Cohammed Khan
Dupojo, that ''a new era of democracy has been ushered in1'
have predictably produced only a lulounrm response ui th in
Pakistan. " With General Zia s t i l l in command of the country's
armed forcas and continuing as "elected" Head of State,
the Prime Minister' s promise^ to restore ' /pol i t ical freedom"
docs not appear particularly credible, Despite Mr Dunejo's
intention of reviving the Muslim League as tho party of
Government, the fate of other po l i t i ca l organizations,
particularly the Pakistan People's. Party and i t s
partners in tha Movement for the Restoration of Democracy,
remains uncertain in the l ight of the Pol i t ica l Parties Act
passed by the National Assembly in November, Whether or not
the acting chairman of the PPP, Miss Benazir Bhutto, the
president of the National Democratic Party, Mr Uali Khan,
and the president of the Pakistan National Pprty, Mr Ghaus
Buksh Bizcnjo, seek to register their organizations, thereby
accepting the Election Commission's neu authority and according
do facto recognition to the amended constitution and General
Zia's overlordship w i l l be a crucial determinant of the
success or otherwise of Pakistan's latest experiment in
controlled pol i t ics . The General's warning that in tho event

armed forces w i l l not hesitate to roimpose martial law may
not inspire confidence amongst politicians uho object
to this version of tailor-made democracy foistad an the
country at gun-point. . '
However despite the wide-spread cynicism in Pakistan,
thare can be no underestimating the enormous sense of
re l ief fe l t by Islamabad's al l ies in Washington. Hawing
decided to make Moscow's intervention in Afghanistan
the central feature of i ts ideological cold uar against
the Soviet Union, the USA was profoundly uneasy at the
absence of even a semblance of democracy in Pakistan,
especially since an undisguisad mil i tary regime somewhat
blunted the pol i t ica l thrust of what is sought to be
presented as a crusade in defence of l iberal va-lues against
totalitarianism. The State Department's grat i f icat ion at t
token restoration of democracy was reflected in the Acnorxcr
g i f t of a frash consignment of sophisticated arms and radar
systems to Pakistan, That some of these systems are manr.t
for the exclusive use of only the USA's closest al l ios
confirms the Reagan Administration's anxiety to reaffirm
i ts fa i th in General Zio's latest incarnation as a democrat
The White. House cannot be unaware that such arms sales migh
olso increase tension in South Asia, perhaps even jeopardi
some of the limited gains of the recent SAARC summit at Dha

but than, regional harmony^ particularly among tho Soviet
Union's neighbours, has novor boon an outstanding fnature
of President Reagan's strategic concerns, Having received
this vote of confidence from his sponsor, General Zin u i l l

that the General's ski l l at political management and

The nation has just heard, of yet another nttjmpt
to forge an Opposition forum consisting cf 11 regional
an two national parties.. Whether the proposed fnrum
ui l l throu up a viable alternative to the Conqress(l)
is too early tn say. Any optimism in this regard has
to bo guardod since similar efforts in the past
remained grounded even though the conditions during
tho earlier opposition conclaves uere far from ideal
for their political tako-off than is the case today.
Not that the Opposition parties have lacked
support from tho intelligentsia' or broader public
sympathy,. But in tho absence of coherent policies,
programmes and an agreed common load or ? they could
never .acquire the requisite credibility as an alternative
to tho Congress.
The failure of thQ 1977 3anata experiment is the
classic example of hou a united opposition could
collapse under tho very shadow, of its glorious victory
Too many cooks spoil the broth. Too many ambitious
leaders, especially after the tragic death of
3ayaprakash Namyari, led the 3anata on to a suicidal
course.
- 270 -
I t is doubtful whether the regional and national
parties that have agreed to forge a suitable forum
under the &.'--spices of Mr.N.T.Rsma Rao of thQ Talugu
Desatn have learnt from past mistakes. Nor do they
seem clear about the larger national objectives.
Their goals seem limited and they are mainly confined
to f ighting for States r ights.
I t is also not clear why Mr.Rama Rao has dropped
his much trumpeted Bharat Desam proposal. Apparently
his idea of Bharat Desam variss sharply from
Mr.Ramkrishna Hsgde's concept of a national alternative.
The conceptual differences apart, there is no un-
animity on who should lead such a national opposition.
Mr.Hedge is known to have certain reservations
about NTR's theatrical approach to po l i t i cs . NTft, on
the other hand, won't accept any forum that does
not ensure his supremacy. Even otherwise, different
regional leaders vary in their outlook as well as
in functional styles.
The po l i t i ca l perspective of Mr.Surjit Singh
Barnala w i l l be vastly different from persons l ike
Mr.Hegde or Mr.Sharad Pawar of the Congress(S) who
is very close to Congress(l) thinking on basic
-•27t ~ .
national issues. Nr.Pauar, for that matter, has been
waiting for a honourable return to ths Congrass(l) in
Maharashtra. Perhaps his hob-nobbing with the other
Opposition groups could prompt the high command to
soften i ts stance on his entry into the party.
In 3ammu and Kashmir* Mr.Farooq Abdullah would be
prepared to patch up uith the Central leadership i f
that.helps him to regain of f ice.
A viable national alternative cannot be u i l t as
a matter of convenience. Nor can i t be sustained on
sheer negativism. There is something basically wrong
the way the Opposition leaders have gone about their
pol i t ica l business, with the result that no single
party has gained an a l l India stature vis-a - vis the
Congress. The CPI, after showing some promise, is a spl i t
personality today. I ts loyalty is divided between the
Congress(l). and Moscou and the other Left forces.
I t is yet fu l ly to reconcile i tse l f to playing second
fiddle to the CPI<Ivl) in the ruling Left Front in
Uest Bengal.
The CPl(Pl) is happy with i ts showing in West Bengal
Tripura and Kerala, I ts 12th Congress in Calcutta
gave enough indication of the Party losing i ts earlier
revolutionary fervour. The Marxist leadership lil^e
i ts counterpart in Beijing, isfinding new joys in what
i t once used to decry as the "runring dogs of
Imperialism.
- 272 -
As for the r ight ist parties, the 33P and the Lok Dal
are out of both conclave and forum pol i t ics . They have
thsir oun calculations. But the bi t ter fact is that
both the parties have failed to achieve tho desired
breakthrough in national po l i t i cs .
The 3anata s t i l l continues to' suffer from some past
i l lusions, Mr .Chandra Skekhar could not cash in on his
padayatra. The only person who can probably take the
Danata to nsu heights is Mr .Ramakrish'na Hsgde. He has
the requisite intellectual honesty and other basic
ingredients that make heroes of polit icians in this
country. For the present, he seems to'have got stuck
in Karnataka. Perhaps he is waiting for a suitable
opportunity to corns to the national scene, For the present
his presence u i l l " have a sobering effect on the proposed
Opposition forum0
A viable national Opposition, though a must for the
healthy growth of a democratic pol i ty, cannot be made
to order l ike a lunch-time kichar i . True, the Opposition
par-ties have had their chance- to" establish themselves,
but the petty ambitions of small-time polit icians
stood in the uay of their growth.

An al l - India Opposition can take root of .?11
Opposition parties ral?.y round one leader having a
mass appeal and a clean image. U'ith Hr, Rajiv Gandhi
at the helm at the Centre, the power game has certainly
become a far tougher proposition today than u a s the
case in 1977 and 1984.
A combination of varied regional demands and
aspirations do not make a viable alternative policy.
Nor can a confrontationist approach help. The Opposition
parties ought to delve deeper into the national
malaise and. identity areas of focus to extract the
maximuij) mileage out of the current si tuat ion. I t is
one thing to have reluctant and grudging local and
regional tie-ups and quite another to have a credible
presence as a united national alternative.
I t also needs to be appreciated that without

of i ts successfully challenging the Congress(l).

Indeed, by 1977 schoral. Stats Congress units had
diverged to the point that more often than not they
resembled regional parties rather than an extension
of a vast national organisation. Even today the
Congress(l) has grave limitations, with the result
that some regional parties have not only gained
ground but seom to bo woH-entrench^d..
The situation is >both complex and puzzling and i t
is similar to tho one described by Durkhcim in a
different context. The seals (regulating need )
is upset, but a ncu scale cannot be improvised— . .Ono
no longer knows what is possible and what is not,
what is j u s t and what unjust, uhich claims and
expectations are legitimato and which are immoderate*
As a result, there is no limit to men's aspirations
(they) no longer knou where to stop..."
It i s , however, not enough simply to decry the
spectre of regionalism and dub i t divisive* The Congress
(l) leadership has to evolve a realistic response to tha
new situation. A hotch-potch approach can hardly
Provide an answer to ths di3 tortiors visible at :
different levels of the polity.
- 275 -
One thing more, Patriotism is not the monopoly
of Congressmen. Thoy, also serve who disagree and
freely air their \yir?us. The voices of dissent must be
heard with due respect ".nd courtesy. I t is in this
neu atmosphere of tolerance and goodwill that a viable
Opposition can come up. It is for the neu generation
of politicians to seok-interactions which provide the
stuff of democratic working.
Politics, for that matter, should not be practised
solely as a crude |ame which pouer has made an end
in itself. I t is necessary to see the democratic
Process in proper perspective. Uhat needs to be
appreciated is that open and competitive politics is
not only needed for healthy democratic growth but for
carrying on the struggle for social justice and
economic freedom as uell .
Viewed in this light, the regional parties will
continue to play a key role in ti l t ing the balance
of national politics one way or the other. In fact,
their campaign for decentralisation of political and
economic power to the States is bound to be more
pronounced. A lot will depend on how the Conqress(l)
leadership responds to these new challenges. The
Hyderabad show, for the present, looks like a half-hearted
attempt to provide p common platform to regional par t ies .

SPEAKERS DIVIDED ON Ti-QR ROLE
Diverse opinions were expressed today about the
political position of the Presiding Officers outside
Parliament at the concluding session of the Commonuealt
Speakers and Presiding Officers Conference.
Initiating the discussion, Mr, T .R .V/akatora,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,, Fiji? said
that a member is a politician first and a speaker last
because no one could become a speaker unless he uas
elected to the Parliament* He should, however, play
a low key political role rather than getting involved
in national issues*
Mr. Bernard Ueatherill, Speaker of the House of
Commons, the UK, however felt that a speaker should
be a speaker first and politician naxt. He said in his
country the speaker after his election functions beyoni
all party politics.. More so in the UK the speakers
are traditionally not opposed in the next elections*
The speaker of Indian Lok Sabha, Mr. Balram 3akhar
who uas also the chairman of the Conference said that
inside the House, the speaker should be impartial but
outside, when he has to face the electorate, he would

Ejrsihad__ji}a.v_. hold poll in Apri l
Tho remark of the Bangladesh president, Gan. H.FI.Ershad,
that he was determined to hold national elections no matter
who participated or not, has, if anything, fuelled speculation
in polit ical circles here that elections may come off in
April next.
GpnoE-rshad, uho had to postpone the polls three times
earlier because of the mainstream opposition's decision to
boycott any elections takirg place without accepting i t s
conditions, says that the nation could not be deprived of
the democratic rights just because the opposition parties
were staying away from the polls on one pretext or the other.
However, the president has set no time for the polls
and the impression gaining ground is that he may call the
polls very soon, Gen.Ershad is scheduled to address a public
rally here tomorrow, organised by the newly floated government
backed 3atiya Party, when he is almost certain to deal uith
the issues relating to the elections. Ha may also announce
a time-.frame or even dates for the national elections. It is
not certain whether he would call a parliamentary poll
or presidential poll. It is likely that he may decide
to hold both elections simultaneously.
«A GOOD DAY': Uhen asked if April 24 is a probable
date for the elections, the state minister for information,
V\T Anwar Zahid, told "Tho Times of India News Service, ' I t

and the 3amaat~c--Islami have £, again made i t clear that
they u i l l not take part in the elections unless Gen. Ersh

The fact is that certain people, evan if they

The unfortunate thing is that where politicians are
involved, every complaint is politicised, both ways
(ruling party and opposition). Highly exaggerated on

PJAL9X JA u o i J A?
Partial introduction of the l i s t system of
proportional representation, removing unrealistic ceiling
on election expenses and taking specific measures to
minimise money power in elections, state funding of
political parties and steps to reinforce the powers
of the Election Commission are some of the major
recommendations made in a comprehensive study of
electoral reform by Nr. L.P.Singh, former Home Secretary
and former Governor of Assam,
The study ''Electoral reform, problems and suggested
solutions" has been brought out by the Centre for
Policy Research* Two important recommendations of the
Election Commission in the recent past for simultaneous
elections to Lek Sabha and state assemblies and Tor
imposition of President's rule prior to assembly polls
in states however does not find favour uith Mr. Singh.
Examining the deficiencies of the present electoral
system, fir. Singh argues in favour of filling up a
portion of the seats in the Lok Sabha through
proportional representation.
The supporters of the plurality (or majority)
system j which is in vogue, ''attach importance to the
- 292 -
fact that und or i t a close link oxints betucnn th o
citizens in a constituency and the member roprns anting
i t in the legislature'1* Their problems and grievances
can, therefore? be ful ly pros anted by thg representative
in the legislature and to the government.
Hr • Singh points out that ! ' this may be an
important consideration in a country with a unitary
form of government such as UK where the House of
Commons Is the legislative forum for discussion even
of local problems and grievances other than those that
are normally the concern of borough and country
authorities'1. !! In India too, the link between a
member and the residents of his constituency is
important in the state assemblies; but the Lok Sabha
is not the proper forum for discussion of purely local
problems and needs. I t is only in regard to the central
sector projects and .programmes or in the licensing of
industrial units to be located in particular areas that
a discussion in the Lok Sabha is appropr iate:! •
Under the l i s t system, seats are awarded in
respect to a party's rather than the candidates'
to ta ls . However, since the names in every l i s t are
arranged in order of preference, those high in the l i s t
are the f i r s t to benefit from the votes accruing to a
party. The study, however, points out that there is
virtual unanimlfcyof opinion among the advocates of
proportinnal r representation that parties uhich rcc'oi.VG
less than 5 par cent of the l i s t votes ought to have
no share in the distribution of proportional votes.
Expanding the results of the last 'night general
elections, the study points out that there has been
great disproportion between the votes polled and the
number of scats won,"It is obvious that the Congress
party uhich has been in power at tho Centre, except
for a brief speall (1977-8O), has boon a consistent
beneficiary of the present voting system5'. "It is
understandable that the plurality system continues to
enjoy support of the Congress party, no beneficiary
party anyuhera likos the change of a system uhich has been
consistently serving i t uolltf«-
Hr, Singh puts across tuo suggestions for
consideration: 1) modification of tho present system
so that all those who secure more than 50 per cent of
the votos ara elected straightaway and tho remaining
seats are filled from party l i s t and' 2) while half
or more to the seats in the. Lok Sabha may continue to
bo filled by the plurality ( or the majority) system
of voting t there ought to be proportional r opresontation
with a threshold of 5 per cent of the total l i s t votes
- 294 -
for making a pr.rty eligible to havo a sha.ro of those
votes. With such a threshold device, the number ofaxporionco
parties will como down as has bean the* ;;• • ~ in
other countries and that would bo a healthy d evolopment'1 •
Referring to the role of money in elections, Mr.
Singh says ;'whatever other factors there may bo, which
havo led to the growth of black money to its present
frightening dimensions, ono can reasonably take the
view as many in fact da, that tho most important single
factor has boon its link with politics and administration,
tho genesis may have beon elsewhere but its growth
would havo been curbed but for this factor. The
requirement of funds for fighting elections, and to a
less or. extent for moating for needs of political parties for
other political act ivi t ies, legitimate or illegitimate,
has lad to a heavy, if not exclusive, dependence on
those operating the black economy, and these havo, at
least in the past, rocaivod a return in the form of
virtual freedom to carry on their unlawful act ivi t ies ,
apart from positive favours in the form of governmental
decisions. This linkage has resulted in numerous evil
consequences for politics, society and the economy. It
has lod to a general lowering of ethical standards in
public ana personal l ife, and is at tha root of much
of the prevailing corruption in politics and administration5'•
295
"During the past many yc-rs, thoro hni/o- bnan
instances of the importance, rn"! claim to hi",h office,
of politicians being measured not in terms of uhat
they could contribute to the st-.ti or public uo .l
but the: siz3 cf the f'jnds they could raise, usually
covertly or by improper means. There have been and
there may even nou be cases of such politicians holding
high public offices.51
To begin with, Mr. Singh suggests that as a
modest step towards assisting tbe political parties
for further doyeloping their ability in discharging
their legitimate functions in a democracy. It could
be considerod whether the state should not grant some
funds to them towards developing and maintaining their
policies and programme. As regards election expenses
the study advocates state funding of political parties
and feels that the ceiling on election expenses,
should bo'fixod realistically and revised from times
to time. "Whether the government grant should ba paid
to individual candidates and not to the political partie
sponsoring thorn,- needs vary careful consideration in
the contcKt of the rolo and importance which tho
- 296 ~
political parties have, and should have, in a democratic
system and the phenomena of mushrooming of political
parties and the plethora' of independent candidates,
uhich have boon a conspicuous feature of our electoral
history"•
Mr. Singh says "State funding, is in my view
essential both on wider economic and social considerations,
and for promoting equality of opportunity among political
parties in elections".
ThG study docs not find merit in the recommendations
of the Election Commission on simultaneous elections
to state assemblies and the Lck Sabha and on imposition
of President's rule in the state prior to polls.
Mr. Singh points out that simultaneous elections,
whenever they are holdj tend to blur the demarcation
between the primary concerns of the Union and those of
the states, "It is not the constitutional requirement or
normalpractice in federations to 'have simultaneous
elections to the federal and state legislatures, and one
cannot see any reason why India should ever consider
adopting an arrangement uhich would run counter to the
basic concept of federalism - even of the .kind of modified
federalism we have. While elections to tne i-ok Sabha
ought to be fought on national issues, which fall within
the functions and responsibilities of the Union, elections
- 297 -
to the state assembly should bo centos tad mainly en
issuos which nrG primarily cf intoros to tho p~.rtict.il-
state at tho particular timo, A comparison of th o
pattern of voting at thr: 1984ri3noral election to tho/
Lok Snbhn and nf the voting at the 1984 general elect:
to the Lok 5-bha and of tho voting .at the elections tr
the state assemblies, held only a feu uooks later in
19B5, brings out clearly that even in tho minds of the
voters such a distinction does axist."
The proposal that President's rule should be
imposed in al l the states on tho even of the elections
"appears to be misconceivsd and based on untenable
assumptions', '"'taking recourse to President's rule as
means of preventing abuses during elections would a/noi
to a declaration of lack of faith in our capacity to
improve, administrative arrangements and procedures anc
in the power of laws to ensure free and fair elections
"States which have ministries drawn from oar-ties other
tho party in pouer at tho Centre, would strongly oppos
tho proposal. "They would question?1 as otborswould, i
validity of any implied assumption that the party'
which happens to be in power at tho Centre would have
superior political virtues11.». •

REGIONAL PARTIES COME. OF AGE
Regionalism in not. a nou phenomenon. In fact,
regional movorr.ynts . r.ra as old as tho Republic of
India, perhaps oven older, if parties such as the
Rom Rajyn -Parishad of yarc pro takon into account.
Later, the movements- for linguistic States which
led to a redrauing of State boundary linos in 1956
insisted cither on completely neu and separate
States or that the boundary lines be drawn so as to
include, for instance, the Bengali-speaking areas
of Bihar in West Bengal.
In the British days, the border linos had been
arbitarily drawn and people speaking a particular
language uero often found in considerable strength
in the border areas of an adjoining Stats , Even-
today, there are Harathi-speaking areas in Karnataka,
Bengali and Oriya-spcaking areas in. Bihar, and so
on. It uas long after 1956 that the State of
Nagalahd and Flizoram uere carvod out of Assam and
Haryana separated from Punjab, but Haryana s t i l l
claims that there are Hindi speaking areas in
Punjab ,
- 307 -
Some of these regional movements have been
secessionist in their ideology and both violent and
extra-parliamentary in form. This is uhy the formatior
of Nag a land and .n/iizoram have not solved in Nag a and f:
problems completely. The 3harkhand movement of Bihar,
Uest Bengal and Orissa, which demands a separate
Dharkhand State in the contiguous Adivasi areas of
these States5 also has secessionist overtones and is
mil i tant in content, While some of the regional
movements uhich uere basically making l inguist ic
demands have died doun, others continue to flourish an
some have even outlived their charismatic founders.
The Dharkhand Party, founded by Gaipal Singh
a t r i ba l who uas an Oxford Blue and a fa i r l y uel l knou
educationist, continues to thrive long after his death
Though Laldenga is s t i l l the avoued head of MNF, the
Naga undergDound movement, started by Phizo, nou has a
collective leadership.
But, uhile the secessionist movements can be
seen as aberrations in our body po l i t i c , the same cann
be said for the neu brand of regional parties that hav
come into their oun throughout the country because the
firmly believe in the parliamentary po l i t i ca l ' process.
3y their very nature, they have limited appeal, someti
- 303 -
confined to a certain local community. The u r i t of
the Muslim League of Kerala, for instance, does not
run beyond the Moplas ,of the Malabar region. Similar ly,
the Akali Da l is confined to the Sikhs of Punjab, thes.
National Conference to the Muslims of the Kashmir
Valley alone in the State of Dammu and Kashmir, and the
neuly formed Asom Gana Pari'shad(AGP) to the Assamese
speaking Hindus of mainly Upper Assam, though that
State has a sizeable population of Bengalis, Muslims
(both Bengali and Assames e-s eapking) and t r ibals
inhabiting not only the h i l l s but also the plains. So
also, the Talugu Desam in Andhra Pradesh. For
notwithstanding the charisma of N«T. Rama Rao, i t does
not have much popularity among the Muslims of Hyderabad,
the State cap i ta l . And the Dravida Kazhagam movement
of Tamil Nadu uas basically an anti-Hindi and anti-Brahmin
movement and i t s offshoots, the DMK and AIADMK, retain
this basic bias although both may havo become broader-
based than the or ig inal and outstripped in popularity the
or ig inal DK founded by E .V.Ramasuami N.alcker - Periyar or
Great Sage to his fol lowers.
OccasionThe Mahanadu of the Telugu Desam, held in
Hyderabad recently, uas, by a l l accounts, a gala occasion.
I t , bL&camo do.ubly. important -as an event because i t
- 309 -
provided an occasion also for a mooting of most of the
regional parties of India uhich ucrs spocif ical ly
invited by N.T.Rama Rao to launch "a forum for action".
There were representatives of the Akali Dal, AGP, DF1K,
the National Conference(Farooq Abdullah group), the A l l -
Party H i l l Leaders1 Conference of Meghalaya, the Naga
National Democratic Party, the Peoples'Party of Arunachal
Pradesh, the Samata Party of Uttar Pradesh, the Panthers
Party and the Rashtriya Congress. Though the 3D P could .
not send any representative because i t held i ts national
executive meeting in Chandigarh on that day and the
Lok Dal and both the Communist parties were conspicuous
by their absence, the 3anata Party was represented by
Chief Minister Ramakrishna Hegda of Karnataka and the
Congress-S uas also present. Like the CPI-P1, the last two
parties are also national only in name, the Congress-S
in particular being confined largely to Maharashtra.
The euphoria of the days of Opposition
conclaves uas absent. Nor did NTR's hope of launching
a Bharat Dosam party comprising the entire norr—
Communist Opposition in a federation materialise. 3ut
the forum for action comprising almost a l l the regional
parties, both de facto and de jure, uas a f i r s t step taken
in the diraction of a pragmatic though neu direction in the
po l i t i ca l set-up of the country.

National Unity.
I t is as wall that the founders of'the forum
have made i t clear that the new organisation is net
against Congress-I as such but intends to ensure national
unity. Electoral politics also docs not coma into tho
picture at the present moment, although at a future date
the regional parties may forge some kind of an electoral
understanding, *Yet, the strength of any such alliance
will not depend on the charisma of individual loaders
but on whether or not they can throu up a collective
leadership worth the namo. In this respect, tho
parties are- poles apart at the present moment.
For instance, the telugu Desam is entirely
a one-leader party. So is the National Conferoncs(F*arooq)
Indeed, tho old National Conference under Sheikh
Abdullah was also a one-leader party, and had i t not
been for tha death of i;ha'Sheikh, i t would not have
split up, no matter how hard the Congrdss-I tried for
i ts breakup behind tho scenes* Similarly, the Danata
in Karnataka is entirely dependent on Ramakrishna
Hegdo, while tho Congress-S is Sharad Pauar's baby.
Cn the other hand, there is some kind of a
collective leadership in the Akali Dal of today. The
AGP, led by students mho arc young and politically
- 311 -
inexperienced despite their hrving led the Assam
agitation for a full six years, also does not have
a single charismatic leader at the helm but" provides
perhaps the best example so far of uhnt proper
collective leadership can achieve. Indeed, the AGP
leader and neu Assam Chief Minister Prafuila Hohanfea
spoke uith greater maturity than many an older
politician when ho said in Guuahati soon after
the phenomenal success of this throcmorith old party
that his uas i! a regional party uith a national outlec
He spoke of co-operation uith the Centre instead of
confronation. If the other political parties uhich
have joined the forum can learn those two lessons
from the AGP leadership, they will not only be able.tc
contribute more to their respective regions than they
have been able to do so far, but may, at a future date,
bo able to provide a viable alternative to the Congress
to the entire nation.
The Congress-I, in its centenary year, may hav
more money pcuer and muscle power than the Indian
National Congress of yore. But its popularity today
is nouhera near that of the party that, under the
Mahatma's overall .guidance, led the nation to independer
And that is pertly because the Congross-I is again a
single leader party unlike the Indian National Congress
- 312 -
that had in i ts fold many a stalwart uho did not hesitato
even to contradict or cr i t icise fOabatma. Gandhi. That
ethos is today absbxt net only within the ranks of
Congress-I \but also from Tplugu Dcsam, the second largest
party in Parliament.
The regional parties haVo, by and large, shown
that .thoy tend to behave "responsibly" when in power.
Indeed, a criticism of the Telugu Desam is that i t is as
active as the Congress-I uas in its uitch hunt of so-called
Naxalitos. This proves that the regional parties are
and can b e as good or . as bad as Congross-I. Where they can
be materially auperior is by throwing up a collective
leadership as opposed .jto the one-leader party that the
Congress-I becamo in Indira Gandhi's time and continues
to be under Rajiv'Ssndhi.
The question i s , u i l l the megalomsnic ambitions
of leaders like N.T.Rama Rao permit this to happen at the
party level as uoll as at the all India forum level?Fbr,
without the benefit of mutual trust and collective action
on the part of the leaders, the regional parties, instead
of ever being ablo to provide a viable alternative to
the Congress, will only rip asunder the fabric of Indian
unity.• •

U3 to am to monitor Phi:
Describing i t as a d:>mo.istr^tion of support fur democracy
in the Philippines, the U3 senate for-;igi rjl.-it.ions
committee chairman, Mr Itichard G.Lugar, will head m
official U3 team to observe and monitor the iVbrmry 7
presidential elections in the Philippines.
Annoncing at a news conference on Saturday that i t
would be a "serious mistake" not to assure the Filipino
people that the US supported 'heir struggle for far-reach:
reform, the Fepubliean senator from Indiannopolis stated
the presence of Americans will keep " the fraud down to a
dull roar-" He had " significant reservations" about the
fairness of the election campaign, he added.
The delegation will be composed of 20-members of
Congress and 20 private citizens.
Increasingly concerned with the i%roos government's
failure to counter a growing communist insurgency within
the country and at the same time eager to maintain and
protect strategically important U3 naval and air bases.ini the final decision of tho USgovernmant to send this taa!the Philippines indicates the unenviable position in whlc
the U3 finds itself today.
feports from the Philippines describe the enormous
support generated at election meetings for President
Marco's political opponent, Mrs Corazon Aouino, tbo wlSo
one of the president's most consistent cri t ics, former
Benigno Aouijo, who was shot down when he returned to
Manila from the US in 1983. 'Then U3 President', Jimmy Gar-
- 32Q -
had 3ought his release from prison in thy Philippines for
heart surgery in the T3i. Firs.Aquino has be^n raising all
the issues of political, econoac corruption ..and suppres-
sions of civil liberties within th.j Philippines, for the
advocacy of which she claims her husband was killed by
President Marcos.
Her election campaign has received fresh impetus from
the recent revelations which "ire appearing in the IB media
about the president arid* his wife.
The foreign affairs sub-committee is presently conduc-
ting congressional hearings on allegations linking President
Marco's wife ImeIda with shipping over 250 million dollars
from the Philippines from 1979 as part of a multibillipn
export of -capital from tho country for investment in high
rise office buildings and shopping centres in the IB.
v/hile these congressional hearings are .underway,
documents have been unearthed from archives in the D5, and
in Canberra, Australia describing President Marcos and. his
father's role in actually working with the Japanese
during their occupation of country from 1942 to 1944«
President Marcos had. always claimed that he had lad a
band of anti-Japanese guerillas against the occupation..
The present timing of such publication, which President
Marcos 's opponents were seeking to publish from 1981 but
for which permission had be?n denied them, has led
supporters of Resident Marcos within the U3 congress
-321--3-
to describe al l theao 3v«ats ay a "witch hunt'1 against
Philippines President ifercos.iknd a3:sooti as she heard
this, Mrs Aquino, has for the first time stated tint i
she wins the. elections, President 'Marcos and al l those
guilty of corruption will "be put on public t r ia l withi
the country.
I t has led Mr Lugar to reiterate t hat the present
of a Lr3 observation forco in the Philippines must not 1
seen as indicative of tJS support for the Marcos regime.
He said he had strong reservations about leading such s
force in the Philippines p^-ptiawJairly since the request
had come directly from President Marcos hinself. The tfc>
presence would not be abl^ to certify the validity of t
election process or place a seal of approval or diaapprs
on i ts results, he said.
The US is also aware that a na trional citizens' pol]
watching group wero abused and attacked by government
forces whan they tried to oversee the last elections in
the Philippines in 1984. D.espite past attackes, at least
500,000 volunteers will reassemble and the/ hope to
monitor at least 80 per cent of the country's 90^000
voting centres, next month.

Bangla p o l l d.ite y e t to be f in l i d e d
The Bangladesh President, Lt-Gan Hussein Muharivnd
Erahad, h-is virtually leached hid el ction campaign with-
out making known when the polls will be held. A -political
party has been floated with the blessings of the government.
Despite being the Chief of Army'3taff as well, Gen. Brshad
has identified himself as the 'mentor' of the new party,
named Jatiya (National) Party. Feelers have been put out
from government r-uarters about holding elections in April.
However, there is no movement in the Oposition which insists
on the l ift ing of martial 1-iw- f i rs t .
After 45 months of military rule, elections have
become necessar/ for Gen. Ershad to legitimise his posi-
tion as che President. let he is not sure how to go about
i t , because in the pa,t he had to cancel the poll exercise '
as the Opposition refused to oblige. If he holds elections,
that can be done only in two ways: either to ensure part i -
cipation of any of the alliances or to go ahead minus the
alliances. The basis for the first option means an.under-
standing xirith the Opposition on certain matters, including
the controversial upa-zilla (sub-district) elections which
he held'last year while political activities were banned.
As for the second option, the government can hold both
•pres-Sciential and parliamentary elections without the
participation of the alliances. In that case the govern-
ment, to achievo. i ts goal, will have to ban political
2/-
activities and arres t political Ii.id.3r3. If that id d•)
a poll will prove a moro f irco and a .pverine:it taus
elector! will have no credibility.
Moving Opposition
Howev •r, within the government there are two dt/.a-
thinking. On one side, nost ministers prefer election 1:
opposition participation. This way they can simply eat
ted without any bother. On the other aide, the armed, fo
Gen Srsted's power-bcaso — seam to be in favour of a co:
sts on the election issue* Against this backdrop, the
government has opened a dialogue with the opposition. '
army gonerals and a cabinet minister, according to infoa
circles, are nesting tha opposition leaders.
The government's inclination to hold elections is
clearly demonstrated in President Srahad concerting the
National Front into a political party. Credit goes to th
President for bringing under one banner forces of confli
ideology. Th re i s , however, apprehension that the congl
eration of various forces .will lead to more in-^fig&ting
instead of i smooth tako-off for the party. But that is
left to the future.
Allowing of open political activities from new yeai
day y?t ±3 anoth r positive step towards the elections.
The opposition alliances started talking about the electi
<.nd putting preconditions. They held a few rall ies and
observed a general strike to demonstrate their 'Strength'

President thro\^gh tho ck?deration of independ.jnce, took an

Bangladesh. The 15-P^rty illieance and V&s Khalda Zia,
chairperson of the Bingl^desh '%tionalist party also
rl colored Prasld ?nt Srshad's remark.
Sheikh H'isinn Wa ed Slid, :lBy nue^tioning the
legality of the 1972 ?oven.rrt1 n t, President Srshad has,
in fact, questioned the legal b'.'isis of a l l the proceedings

Mr Atiur Jahma- Khan, former prime minister in
President 3rshad's cabinet said, "^he terming of 1972
government as illegal tan ta mounts to denying the inde-
pendence and soverisanity of the country."
The remark brought the President a sharp protest
from political parties, intellectuals and the business
community. Ministers in President Bra had fs Cabinet with
parliamentary and legal background kept r-uiet- Those
with pro-Ohina leanings wore enthusiastic -bout the whol
thing. They possibly thought i t was a political victory
for th Hund tho President would not shift his government
position from ons axis to another.
Dr Kami Hossaia, Bangladesh's f i rs t law minister
who presented the 1972 constitution and Mr 3ura.njit den-
Gupta,, the opposition member in the constition draft
committee replied more su^bstantially and positively. Th«
essence of their reply was that political necessity over-
rides conatititionel and legal necessities* ;The declara-
tion of indepeidence on March 2' , 1971 and the procla-
mation of independence on April 10, 1971 in Mujibnagar
by the elected representatives came out of political
necessity. The proclamation became, in fact, the basis
of independence and was the onl/ legal,instrument- &
that is a sacr03anct document. The proclamation also

The issue became so serious that finally the govern-
ment had to ask newspapers not to print any criticism. But

necessary to raise the isjue after 14 years of independence?

Limited uhich is stated to bs a Central GovernmentUndertaking uholly financed by the Central Gout.The petitioner contended that by acting as selling
agsnt of Coal India Limited, tha said partnership
firm of uhich Shri Balramsingh Dais was one of tha
partnars had entered into a contract uith the
Government and thus Shri Bais had incurred a disqua-
lification uithin the meaning of Section 9A of tha
said Act»
3. The present reference has been made by tha
Cover nor of tfadhya Fradssh to tha Commission after
a lapse of nearly nina months. In this context,
it may not ba out of place to invite a referenca to
the Commission's letter No. 113/2/KT/83-L.S.I., dated
24th 3una, 1963, addressed to the Secretaries to tha
Gouernors of all States in uhich it was stressed
by the Commission that all such references should
be made to the Commission uith expedition after
a question had been raised before the Governor in
terms of Article 192(1) of tha Constitution so that
the question raised could be disposed of uith the
least possible delay. Ir. the present case, tho
above referred dslay of about nine months in
making tho prsser.t reference to ths Commission
Contd,..••
- 29 -
has made trie question raised by the petitioner
infructuous. In bstueen, the very House of the
Madhya Pradesh L0Qisiativa Assembly in relation
to tha msmbsrship whereof Shri Ealramsingh
8ais the question raised by tha petitioner
related, was i tself dissolved or, 1Cfch Pia-ch,1985
following a general election in tha btafcs held
in March, 1985 to constitute a neu Assembly. In
his aforesaid petition dated tha 26th Zanucry,
1985, the petitioner had raised tha question of
continuance of Shri Sais as a member of tha then
existing House of tha Nadhya Pradesh Legislative
Assembly, uhich was dissolved in March, 1985, as
aforesaid. It is true that Shri Bais has been
rB-alected at the 1985 general election from the
same constituency and is nou a sitting member of
the present Assembly. But nc question has been
raised in the aforesaid petition uhich has nou
been referred to the Commission for i t s opinion
about tha continuance of Shri Bais as a member
of tha present House. In fact, no such question
could be raised in that petition because i t
could not be foreseen by the petitioner or anyone
at the time of making the aforesaid petition that
Contd...,,
- 30 -
Shri Bais would be re-elected at tha ensuing general
election. Not, in lay, can such a question be r.ou
raised before the Governor in terms of Article 192(1)
of ths Constitution for the reason that i f Shri
Bais incurred any disqualification on account of the
aforesaid contract entered into botueen n/s Dongsrgarh
Coal Depot and Coal India Limited in March 1982 then
such disqualification would have been a pre-elaction
disqualification in relation to his election in March,
1985 to the present House of the Madhya Pradesh
Legislative Assembly and such question of his alleged
disqualification could bg raisad only in an election
pet i t ion.
4. Therefore, I am of the opinion and accordingly
hold that the present reference made by the Governor
or Pladhya Pradesh is infructuous and i s , therefore,
returned to him uith my opinion to the above effect.

he rode to power with covert U.S.barting. Then, with ~!;:ssive U.S.military invohement, he broke theback of the coir.;v>uruM movement.Significant sections of the peasantry-arid the working class got carriedawuy by the slogans o! l.ind reformsand naitomihsrr:. However, as soonas ths communist thrcru diminished,the oligarchy returned to its oldways and the U.S. continued its neo-coloniisl grip or. Philippine politicaland economic life.
in me pres-nt political scenario,there xre many iriterejtir. parallel'.. Thepeas'aatry and the working class areence again being mobilised bv thecommunist-led New Peoples Army.
The section of the oligarchy led byMr. Marcos has been absolutelydiscredited in the eyes of the Filipinomasses. The other section of theoligarchy, currently under theleadership of Mrs. Cory Aquino andSalvador Laurel are involved in alast ditch effort to salvage the,system. The U.S. with iis vested andstrategic interests in the Philippinesis doing its utmost to keep the fragileedifice of the present system intact.
At this juncture, a victory for theAqt'ino-Laurel ticket would be idea!for U.S. policy makers. An orderlytransfer oi political power wiil btensured and that too to those whoare basically sympathetic toAmerican foreign policy goals. Mrs.Aquino is keen to prove her anti-communist credentials while Mr.Laurel's iong public career is atest^rrtpny of opportunism.Organisations which were in theforefront of the struggle against Mr.Marcos have now decided to refrainfrom exercising their franchise asthey see very littie policy differencesbetween the two opposingpresidential candidates. Still, thereare a few committed nationalists,like Lorenzo Tatvanda and OvitoSalonga working for the oppositioncandidate.

But the most important pillar of.support for Mrs. Acu:~o is thePhilippine Catholic Church. Sincethe imposition of martial law, theChurch hierarchy has beenprogressively alienated. Over-centralisation cf power in the handsof Mr. Marcos during the last 20years made the powerful Church amarginal factor in Philippine,politic?. The younger clergy slippedoul of the grip of the Church..establishment and most of them'have been supporters of the Latin .American inspired "liberation 'theology." In the presentcircumstances, the Philippine .Church, under the leadership ofCardinal Jaine Sin, projects Mts. <TAquino as [he "moral alternative." •
From available indications, theFebrurary 7 presidential election islikely to be bitterly fought. PresidentMarcos has already raised the bogeyof chaos in case of his d?feat._H.iscisreputed Military Chief of Staff,Gen. Fabian Ver. stated a few days 'ago mat the military would not "•remain a silent spectator if theopposition is swept to pewer.President Marcos has also issued .veiled warnings that the militarymay make a pre-emptive move if theopposition makes it to power. Mr. '-Marccs's loyalists in the militaryhierarchy let! threatened bv an •Aquino victory and. therefore, likeMr. Marcos, are trying to caricatureMrs. Aquino and ner supporters as a'"front" for the communists.
The ongoing strujj^Ie for powerhas SDPII even the hitherto -monolothic army. The "yourtg- :
Turks" are not in favour of an 'outright bid for power at this stageot the game. Besides, army coup canbe a sustainable adventure only ifthe U.S. decides to encourage andsupport it. The Philippine army is "'totally dependent on U.S. suppliesand loyistics and at this juncture, theState Department would still preferto rely on the civilian option.
Meanwhile, the real struggle forthe hearts and minds of the Filipinoscontinues in the cities and thevillages where the New People's'Army has resolutely turned its backon the Marcos-imposed electoralpolitics. It is trying to provide analternative in alliance with otherprogressive sections of Filipinosociety. — (PTI Feature).

IL»ET me say at tht?.*6ut«et that noamount • of legislation and rulemaking can ens jre complete punty o!elections After ail. laws are framedfor men and women, and if large numbers of them including political acti
,1 vists, have no respect for law and aredetermined to violate it. f doubtwhether electoral reform and the
1 Election Commission can do much[ about it. Electoral reform, let it bej clearly understood, is only a partialJ remedy.I Our electoral process is beset with1 many evils. Some ot them can be
easily identified. First is the mountingexpenditure on elections, incurred'both by the Government on organis-ing them and by the parties and can
, didates on fighting them. Barring aj few rich individuals nobody can| finance an election from his own reI sources. A candidate and his party• much depend on "public contri
butions". The political parties andtheir cand'dates have, therefore,come increasingly to rely on busi-ness sources drawing on unaccoun-ted money.
BAN ON DONATIONSAnother source is gangs of anti-
i social elements, smugglers, dacoitsand industrial mafias. A third source,now increasingly important, is thecuts received by the ruling party as a'"quid pro quo" for awarding hugecontracts, licences, permits, and soon. This has been particularly signifi-cant in the case of the IndiraCongress which controls the Centre,although some Stale Governments,controlled by other parties, have notbeen unwilling to tap this source.
Will the lifting of the ban on com-pany donations mitigate these evi'.s? Idoubt very much that it would have animpact on this malady. Let us first un-derstand why the ban on such don-ations was imposed in the first in-stance. Some high courts pronoun-ced against these donations as a cor-rupting inlfuence, tending to createan unhealthy nexus between the rul-ing party and the corporate sector.
Public memory is short, but let it berecalled that the entire opposition,from the Swatantra Party to theCommunists had united behind thedemand (or prohibiting such contri-butions. When t moved a privatemember's bill on the subject half way
U ~> ti w
through the'Fourth Lok Sabha. itevoKei) so much sympathy that theIndustrial Development Minister,while requesting me to withdraw thebill, promised the House that he
.would bring forward an official bill todan company donations.
in the past, when contributionswere legal, the bulk of these don-ations went to the Congress, followedby the Swatantra Party, which be-lieved in free enterprise, the then JanSangh coming a poor third.
With the raids and other instru-ments of terror wielded by theGovernment, will not history repeatitsel1 in the matter of corporate sectordonations?
OPPN. MISTAKEThe Opposition made a mistake in
exie.iding unconditional support tothe bin seeking to restore the legalityo! political contributions by the com-panies. They should, at least, havemoved an amendment seeking distri-bution ot these contributions on aproportionate basis among all the re-cognised parties. After all, there is noreason to believe that managers,shareholders, depositors and em-ployees who create wealth all belongto one party.
j But even the amendment of theCompany Act on the above lines will Inot suffice. The election expenditure/is so huge that the company contri-*bution wijl be a drop in the ocean. It
.would help much if elections are sim-,' ultaneously held for the Lok Sabha,the State Assemblies and also thelocal bodies (amendments to maketheir terms uniform can be easilymade).
This would drastically reduce elec-tion expenditure of all kinds, and, in-cidentally, this wou'd promote devel-opment of a healthy party system atall levels of the administrativestructure^ But will the Government,which deliberately separated the LokSabha and State Assembly electionsin 1970- 71. agree to synchornisethese elections?
In addition to the simultaneousholding of elections, some system ofState funding of elections is absolute-ly necessary. A simple procedure canbe adopted: candidates of a recog-nised political party and independ-ents, who have received more than,say. 25 per cent of the valid votes

President Marcos, for compel-**ling reasons, prefers to siare a 1st- '

There are no two opinions that our present elec-tion processes need reforms. Here, the author, aveteran politician himself, points out that reformsbrought about by changing the rules can at bestbe a partial remedy. However, he suggests a fewprimary areas in which changes can be attemptedto begin with.
No amount of legislation andrule-making can ensure com-
plete purity of elections. After all,laws are framed for men andwomen, and if large numbers ofthem, including political activ-ists, have no respect for law andare determined to violate it, how-much can electoral reform and theElection Commission do? Electo-ral reform, at best, can be only apartial remedy.
Our electoral process is besetwith many evils. First is themounting expenditure on elec-tions, incurred both by the Gov-ernment on organising them andby the parties and candidates onTighting them. Barring a few richindividuals nobody can financean election from his own resourc-es. A candidate and his party thusdependon "public contributions'*.The political parties and theircandidates have, therefore, comeincreasingly to rely on businesssources, 'drawing largely onunaccounted money.
Another are the gangs of anti-social elements. smugglers,dacoits and industrial mafias. Athird source, now increasingly im-portant, is the cuts received by theruling parties as a "quid pro quo".for aw'.irdim; huge contracts,licences, permits, and so on.
Will the lifting of the ban oncompany donations mitigatethese e\ils° I doubt very much,
Let us first understand why theban on such donations was im-posed in the first instance. SomeHigh Courts pronounced againstthese donations as a corruptinginfluence, tending to createan un-healthy nexus between the rulingparty and the corporate sector.
Public memory is short, but letit be recalled that the entire Op-position, from the SwatantraParty to the Communists, hadunited behind the demand forprohibiting such contributions.
I had moved a private mem-ber's hill on the subject half waythrough the fourth Lok Sabha. Ithad evoked so much sympathythat the then Industrial Develop-ment Minister, while requestingme to withdraw the bill, promisedthe House that he would bring for-ward an official bill to ban compa-ny donations.
In the past, when contribu-tions were legal, the bulk of thesedonations went to the Congress,followed by the Swatantra Party,which believed in free enterprise,the than Jana Sangh coming apoor third.
The Opposition had made amistake in extending uncondi-tional support to the hill seekingto restore the legality of politicalcontributions h\ the companies.They should, at least, have movedan amendment seeking distribu-tion of these contributions tin a

proportionate basis among all therecognised parlies. Alter all. thereis no reason to believe that man-agers, shareholders, depositorsand employees who create wealthall belong to one party.
But even the amendment ofthe Company Act on the abovelines will not suffice. The electionexpenditure is so hu;;e that thecompany contribution will be adrop in the ocean, h would helpmuch if elections are simultane-ously held for the Lok Sabha. theState Assemblies and also thelocal bodies (amendments tomake their terms uniform can beeasily made). This would drasti-cally reduce election expenditureof all kinds, and. incidentally,would also promote developmentof a healthy party system at alllevels of the administrative struc-ture. But will the Governmentagree to synchronise theseelections?
In addition to this, some sys-tem of Sta'te funding of electionsseems necessary. A simple proce-dure can be adopted: candidates
By Madhu Limaye
of a recognised political party andindependents, who have receivedmore than. say. 25 per cent of thevalid votes polled in a particularconst ituency. w< .uld be entitled toreceive a fixed contribution in twoinstalments equal to three-fourths of the limit imposed bythe Election Commission on theelection expenditure.
The amounts should be givendirectly to qualified candidatesseeking re-election, and not to theparties. Bossism prevails in allparties, and. if the funds are dis-tributed through the parties, bla-tant discrimination would bepract ised.
New candidates will, of coarse,not benefit by this arrangement.They will have to prove their elec-toral worth before they can claimState assistance. The qualifica-tion of a minimum ot L'5 per centvote would reduce the number ofclaimants.
Apart Irom this. tinrecognised partii - should b.e givenprams for party work. The ac-counts should be audited by a ma-chinery set up by the Hie«:tionCommission. There- should be alimit on leaflets ,ind posters is-sued bv and advertisements re-sorted to In the candidates andparlies.
The reported objection of thenew Chief Election Commission-er to State funding of elect ions onthe ground that there is no"recognised party system" doesnot hold water. The Election
Commission has evolved fair cri-teria for recognition of partiesand the anti-defection law alsotakes notice of the existence ofparties.
Bu' if by absence of a properparly system, the Election Com-missioner means that we do nothave a law which makes recogni-tion of parties conditional ontheir fulfilling certain norms ofdemocratic functioning and sci-entific accounting of party in-come and expenditure, he is right.But such a statute can be framedonce the decision on State fund-ing of elections is taken.
If the State i= to finance elec-tions, parties which have becomepersona! fiefs oi leaders cannotand should not qualify for receiv-ing State aid. From Congress-I toTeiugu Desam. it is the same sadstory. \\ ho is rendering an ac-count of receipts and expendi-ture? Who is holding internalelections?
The West German constitu-tion not only recognises existenceof political parties, it wants themto "participate in forming the po-litical will" of the people. It alsolays down that "their internalorganisation must conform todemocratic printipies".
Virtually'none of the Indianpolitical parties would qualify as apolitical party under WestGermany's Basic Law. The law onpolitical parties there ensuresdemocratic election on executivecommittees by secret ballot andgives party members protectionagainst arbitrary exercise of disci-

plinarv powers. Further, candi-dates cannot be chosen by party'ssupreme leader at the eleventhhour: they are selected bv mem-bers "in an a<- embly of partymembers held in the constituencyfor this purpose.
The party executive is also re-quired tn reveal t he origin of fundsaccruing to the party. The pre-scribed form lay>down the detailsof income v. hit-h has to be filled byevery political party. The detailsof expenditure must likewise besubmitted by the partyauthorities.
The total election fund wasbeing created at the flat rate ofDM :V."iO per vote (and partieswere reimbursed in terms of theirperformance at the polls) from1978 onwards.
A question may be legitimate-ly asked as to why spend public •money on upholding the feudal-cum-despotic leadership of Indi-an political parties'? Election re-forms must, therefore, gohand-in-hand with reform of po-litical parties. Legislation wouldbe necessary, but this should beprepared carefuliv. as haste wouldcause harm.
Much stress has been laid re-cently on auditing of party funds.Even the Prime Minister has saidthat he was determined to makepolitical parties "accountable forthe funds they receive". While Iam in favour of this scheme, Iwould like to cite the example ofthe trade unions. Despite thelabour laws and the machinerycreated under the Labor Commis-sioner, everybody knows thatproper verification of member-ship has become an impossiblething. Elections are-seldom heldto the trade union posts, andmembership registers are oftenmanipulated.
Besides, there is a genuine dif-ficulty, parties wi>uld not disclosethe real source of their income forfear that their patrons would beharassed and discriminatedagainst by the G >vernment. Theproblem, there lore, has to be tack-led on all fronts.

to dominant castes and communi-ties in a constituency. Often theadministrative machinery is handin glove with these elements. Noris this a new phenomenon. Withthe aggravation of caste and com-munal conflict, and eclipse of ide-alism and ideology in public life,the evil of booth-capturing andrigging has virtually made amockery of free and fair elections.The evil practice which started inBihar has gradually spread toother States.
The greatest weakness of theelectoral process is the absence ofan independent machinery underthe control of the Election Com-mission. At the State level, as wellas in the constituencies, the ma-chinery is that of the State Gov-ernment. Unless the officers,independently recruited andmade directly accountable to theElection Commission, are givencharge of law enforcement agen-cies on the last two days and thevoting day as also on the day ofcounting — the goonda raj willcontinue.
How this can be worked outand whether the Central andState Governments would agreeto this act of self-abnegation isoutside the scope of this article.But from my own experience, I
know that thousands ofunprivileged voters have been de-nied the exercise of their right tovote, especially members ofscheduled castes and other weak-er communities.
Many Harijan voters nave to|dme, with a piercing sadness ontheir face, that they had neverseen a ballot paper in their wholelife! Champions of backwardclasses and the underprivileged 'are at a terrible disadvantage inthe prevailing social conditions inthe countryside.
Even in the urban slums mafiaoperate, and it is they who can de-liver the votes. Criminalisation ofpolitics and administration hasgiven a certain sanctity to thisevil. Purification of the adminis-tration and law enforcementagencies is a "sine qua non" of freeand fair elections.

GUNS and money will once again playan impotent rc'5 in February's Philip-
pine presidential election.
Both the money—perhaps as much ashalf a billion dollars—and the guns willcome from a mixture of public and privatesources President Ferdinand Marcossparty will have the overwhelming majority ofboth.
President Marcos, an aide says, willspend about 2 bill'On pesos (S106 millions^in "private funds" on the campaign—andwill add anoner billion if necessary. Most ofthe money win come from the Marcos familyitself, the aioe said. T*.e rest will come fromwhat he jocuaHy called the Marcoses' "cap-tive group" cf businessmen—friends (oftencalled "cronies" here; such as Mr. RobertoBenedicto and Mr. Eduardo Cojuangco.
!n addition to this, the aide noted, therewiil be government money from sources likethe MirvElry cf Public Works and the Minis-try of Human Settlements, which is headedby Mrs. Marcos. Non-government estimatescf the total amount available from $265 mil-lions to $531 millions. The average Filipino'sper capita income is calculated to be S6EOa year.
Just before Christmas, there were in-dications that the Government was as-sembling the official component of its electo-
. ral war chest The Central Bank reportedthat Government borrowing from the Bankhad jumped suddenly by $202 millions. TheMay 1S84 elections had been preceded bya spurt in Government borrowings (believedto be election-related) of $249 millions. Butthis time the Bank later dismissed the reportas a clerical error.
About the same time, however, the Gov-ernment announced the disbursement of $27 millions m unexplained financial aid to >local governments.
The opposition ticket of Mrs. CorazonAquino and Mr. Salvador Laurel is hoping toraise about S37 millions. Most of this wiilprobably corr-e fiom Manila businessmen,from wealthy individuals like Mrs. Aquino'sbrother. Mr. Jose Cojuangco (the cousin ofMr. Marcos confidant. Mr. Eduardo
CojuangcoX and from f ilipmos overseas-Mr. Jose Cojuangco and another opposi-
tion leader. Mr. Ramon M;<-a, returned re-cently from a fund-rais-ng drive in the U.S.Mr. Marcos recently c'c^rr.ed that Mrs.Aquino has foreign backing, out so far hasnot substantiated this.
The net result of this electoral spendingspree wiil be further aggravation of the coun-try's economic problems Jue massive in-flow of money into the economy after thelast election was held respons'bie for an in-flation rate that peaked tn October 1984 at63 per cent.
As for the role of guns, in early Decem-ber. Brig.-Gen. Isidore de Guzman was ap-pointed senior military commander in Cent-ral Luzon. The move, military sources say, is

a clear indication that the Government plansto use m-litary commanders to ensure aruling party win.
Gen. De Guzman, a reputed Marcos loyal-ist, has beep in Central Luzon oefore. His mili-tary record snows h>m ststioiod there bet-ween "976 and '932.

worthy, the source says, because the area isconsidered traditionally pro-opposiUon.
The other senior military commander in• Central Luzon is also a hard-core Marcos
supporter. Gen. Antonio Paiafox. command-er'of the Fifth Division, first worked for Mr.Marcos in the early 1960s, when he was amember of what was tnen the Philippine Sen-ate.
Central Luzon will be a challenge' for theGovernment this time. Ruling party strategi-sts note that it has about 2.7 million voters.But it is the home a'ea of both Mrs. Aquinoand her assassinated husband, oppositionleader Benignc Aqomo Jr. Mr. Marcos'sfriend. Mr. Eduarrio Coiuangco. the rulingparty chairman for the regon. has beengenerous with his money—even the localpriests receive a monthly stioend from him.But the Aquino campaign generated enorm-ous crowds during its swing through thearea.
Military sources say they expect the Gov-ernment to use the expertise of at least twoother top commanders in Luzon to ensure agovernment victory. Gen. Tomas Dumpit.regional unified commander in Marcos'home area in the far north, will be activelyinvolved. So, the sources predict, will Gen.Andres Ramos (no relation to AssistantChief of Staff, Gen. Fidel Ramos). Bothgenerals are former chiefs of staff of the Pre-sidential Security Command, an elite unit han-dpicked by President Marcos and Gen. Fab-ian Ver. his relative and armed forces chiefof staff.
The official armed forces will be backedby private armies. Probably the biggest andthe best is that of Mr. Marcos's friend. Mr.Eduardo Cojuangco.
Military sources estimate that • Mr.Cojuangco's army numbers at least 700 to1,000 men. Western and Filipino sourcessay that Cojuangco's army is Israeli-trained.Filipino military sources say that four or fiveIsraeli advisers started training his forces inearly 1984.
As a "courtesy", the same sources say. of-ficers and men of the elite Presidential Secu-rity Command were invited to join the trai-ning sessions. The command was reported

to be made up of men under the commandof Maj. Wyrlo Ver, one of General Ver'sthree sons, all of whom have important posi-tions in the command.
The same sources say that Mr.Cojuangco's troops are armed with the h:gn-ly regarded Galil combat rifle from lsraeland may also have Singapore-made mach-ine guns. The private army is based in Cent-Aal Luzon, on Negros island, and on Bugsukisland. Before units of the official armed for-ces can land on Bugsuk, a Western mil;taryattache says, they have to request permis-sion from Mr. Cojuangco's men.
Mr. Armando Gustilo. one of the politicalforces on the central island of Negros. andpresident of the National Federation ofSugarcane Planters, controls another formida-ble force. Like many private armies. Mr. Gus-tilo's men are officially members of the para-military Civilian Home Defence Force. 3ut,military sources on Negros say that Mr. Gus-tilo actually pays the men's salaries, andthey do his bidding.
Mr. Gustilo's force and a unit of the Philip-pines Constabulary are held responsible forshooting and killing at least 27 antigovern-ment demonstrators in the small town of Esca-lante last September. (The overall militarycommander in the area at the time was Gen.De Guzman).
Ruiing party officials acknowledge thatthey are reiying on Mr. Gustilo to producethe right vote in the central Philippines. Infact. Mr. Gustilo's hold over his bailiwick innorthern Negros will probably be streng-thened before the presidential election. Thelast session of the National Assembly vctedto create a new province in Negros. To beknown as Negros del Norte, the provincewill encompass Mr. Gustilo's area of author-ity.
The National Citizens' Movement for FreeElections (Namfrel), the independent electo-ral watchdog expects other, more traaiton-al forms of fraud in the coming presidentialelections. One classic approach is what isknown here as the "flying voter"—the illeg-al registration of nonresidents who can beused to swing critical votes in the desired di-rection.—Christian Science Monitor.

1 A /HEN Mrs. Shirley W.lliams and three¥ w other col:eagues walked out of the
Labour Party in csgust frve years ago. theywere oromptiy o_Dbed the "Gang of Four"by an amused Br.tish media that was intrigu-ed but sceptical about the prospects for anew centre-party :n a traditionally two-partysystem. But tooay. the Gang's party—theSocial Democrat : Par.y—with its Liberalallies, is firmiy wedged into the political spec- Itrum and there is a strong likelihood Oi theSDP-Liberal Alliance hoiomg the balance ofpower in a poss-aiy hung parliament. AndMrs. Thatcher's Britain has given the SDP'sonce isolated po'itics of centrism a suddenrelevance.
The beginning of the Eighties in the Uni-ted Kingdom saw political choices being dra-matically and loudly explored, with thegrowing perception that the Keynesian con-sensus that permeated public policy since1945. no longer nad all the answers. TheLabour Party, reflecting this uncertainty,began to grapple with questions like—should the party move more firmly towardssocialism and problems relating to its owninner structure. Meanwhile, the Conserva-tive Party was moving decisively to a de-termined espousal of monetarism.
At this critical juncture, the Social De-mocrats, Mrs. Shirley Williams. Dr. DavidOwen, Mr, Roy Jenkins and Mr. WilliamRodgers. announced their quarrel with thehitherto unchallenged tenets of public policy |in the formation of their new centre-party. IBut they made cler.r that their protest meant jin no way a repudiation of the concepts of •'social democracy and was only against the •bureaucratisation of the welfare State. They •indicated that ther breakaway was not tobe bracketed w;tn the fervid anti-Keynesian-ism of the monetarist Tories.
But seven years of Margaret Thatcher •has altered the political landscaoe and theterms of the debate. A Lord Kaldor mightmourn the passing of the Keynesian era—"they create a desert and call it stability" or aHarold Macmilian might remark witheringiy:"First of all. the Georgian silver goes andthen all that nice furniture " But strangely

enough, the knocking down of the hallowedconcept of nationalisation has not createdwidespread outrage. Privatisaton of govern-ment assets has come to be accented, evenif a little reluctantly, as probably necessaryto breathe new iife into a moribundeconomy.

Williams. She is convinced that the Allianceis gaining ground. "We already hold the bal-ance of power, and when peoole voted forus in 1981. it was because they were fed upwith the Conservative party and had lostfaith in Labour it was a negative vote. Butthat's not the case now. over ihe last fiveyears, we've seen a translation of that vo*einto a positive one." she argued in a recentinterview in Madras.
And recent opinion polls seem to havegiven her that confidence. A survey of thevoter mood taken after the outbreak of theWestland defence contract controversy inlate January put Labour ahead with the Al-liance on its heels and the Tones finishinglast Mrs. Williams, who was on tour in India,radiated optimism in the interview and setabout demolishing suggestions that her
party might get nowhere if Labour surgedahead or the Wets softened the harsh faceof Thatcherite Toryism.
Were the Wets gaining ground in theTory party, in the waks of the resignation ofMr. Michael Heseltine. Secretary for De-fence, in protest over the reluctance to en-courage the European option in the Wes-tland defence deal? Mrs. Williams wasquick to dismiss that. "I don't think so. Allthat's happened is that one of the leadingWets has left the Cabinet which has nowbecome more in Mrs. Thatcher's image.Whatever the Wets say now. they've beensaying for years. But they have no power.they don't seem to make any difference. Any-way. I don't think they are gaining ground.so why should I take that possibility onboard?"
Unpopular positions
And the likelihood of an election-consci-ous Thatcher Government consciouslysoftening the sharp edges of its policies,such as the hasty revision of the oroposal toscrap the State Earnings Related PensionScheme CSERPS)? And the poss.oility of taxcuts that the spurt of privatisation mightallow? i
Mrs. Wiiliams brushed that away. "Whathappens is that the Tones take a positionwhich turns out to be so unpopular that theyare Forced to move away from it. Thatdoesn't do you much good' in DO' tics tobe seen to take a position and then to backdown because its so unpopular " shelaughed.
Mrs. Williams became the SDP's first elec-ted member of parliament after she won aby-election at Crosby. Merseyside. inNovember 1981. She subsequently lost herseat in the landslide electoral victory of Mrs.Thatcher in June 1983. Today, she is con-fident that the Tories have lost their charmand that "unless Mrs. Thatcher has somesudden piece of luck like the FalklandsWar." they are unlikely to regain any appeal.
Split right & leftWhat about Mr. Neil Kinnock's Labour?
The struggle between forces in the partyseemed to have quietened down to a de-gree after Mr. Kinnock and the "centre-right"group gained dominance. The influence ofthe Militant Tendency, Labour's Trotskyitewing was seen to have taken a hard blowfrom Mr. Kinnock's attack on them last Sep-tember at Labour's annual conference in Bour-nemouth. The mainstream British media hadrather joyously predicted that the party'simage would improve after that.
"Yes, Bournemouth has done Neil Kin-nock some good." Mrs. Williams said. Sheand her colleagues had broken away fromLabour baulking at the ascendancy of theleft. The Gang of Four had also been irkedby the dominance of the trade unions in theLabour party. What finally drove them upthe wall was their disappointment that "thehard left" was not put down as also thetrade union block vote and its implicit con-trol.
Today. Mrs. Williams believes that Lab-our has not reaily sorted out these issues."Kinnock is a more popular man and betterliked, but the problems in the Labour partyare not about Neil Kinnock but go much de-eper. The party is very dependent on thetrade unions and the trade unions are begin-ning to argue about one another quiteseriously and that's more important thananything else that happens to Labour be-cause when the public perceives that Lab-our is split left and right, then they tend tomove away from Labour " she argued.
Mrs. Williams offered her perspective ofthe current electoral scene in Britain."What's really happening is that increasing-ly Labour is becoming the party of the Northof England and Scotland and industrialareas of Wales while the Conservative partyis becoming the party of the south and thesouth-east. It's quite a striking deference be-cause the south is much ricrer the Alli-ance tends to run second in both regions,second to Labour in the nortn and second tothe Tories in the south "
"The Alliance is a party without strong re-gional of ciass tendencies, it is seen to be
not a class party like the Labour party whichis seen to be the working ciass party and

The result could be a blur-ing of persoec- income restraint which sTriply asked me uni-tive so that it is no longer clear-cut criticism o n 3 t 0 r e s ^ n t | l e ; r members demands inof either Conservative or Labour. "Part of order for the country to grow "the impact of Mrs. Thatcher has been good.She has brought a kind of realisation of reallife, the fact that the world doesn't owe us aiiv'ng. that we have tc be more eficient andmore productive, also that we csn't afford along strike or inefficient management "
DistributlonismOn the other hand, "her economic poli-
cies have produced very high levels ot un-employment which piece a lot of strain onsociety "
What about the dismantling of the welfareState? Mrs. Williams was once a staunchFabian socialist believing strongly in 3 cen-traised welfare State. Today as a SocialDemocrat, sne is less certain. "We believeneither in State social srn nor corporate capita-lism, out what might, be called distripution-ism you know, distribute power, wealthand income. We w'ou'd want decentralsa-t'.on o' the welfare State let tne welfare ser-vices be run at a more local levei. Fcr ex-ample, hospitals, we would have com-mittees of patients to meet with the hospi-tal s staff to discuss how they should be run.We strcngiy support the idea of public hou-sing but we believe the housing estatesshould be run by the tenants. r,ot by theState."
The SOP believes that in the short run, itis necessary to have an agreement with theunions on incomes. ' if the Government isgoing to put more money into the economy,there must be some restraint on the part ofthe trade unions, otherwise the extra moneywill go into the wages of those who havejobs and not to create more jobs for thesewho haven't got jobs." she sad.
But in return for ask ng for wage restraint,the Al'.ance promises "to bring in tax incen-tives for such wider snare ownership, profitsharing, a much vi de' cist'ibu'.ion of owner-ship among many ino-e people." Mrs. Wil-liams said. "We w;ll te.! the unions that weare prepared to put th s money into creai-ngnew jobi we are pressed tc make changesthat Will encourage company managementsto snare profits.' as 'or instance, offeringthem a better tax deal "
While this would be tne kind of barga n afuture Alliance government was likt-ly tostrike with the unions, at the same time. 3nelement of coercion might be necessary,said Mrs. Williams. Fey instance, an in'ia'.ioit3x. "It the unions Sirr.'. / tet'oo^u to rtstr3<ntheir incomes and wen: anead and bai gam-e l for income or wage increases, then wewould go ahead and tax them.

* if we saia the norm was four per cent and« the settlement for incomes is six per cent, *
we would increase the tax budget so that #.* they would not gain anything but that%. would only be a last resort " *
* Dim prospects* A future Alliance government's notion of•% welfare policies "we would link up the _
income system with the benefit system. That # "* means the people who are too poor to pay „•8- taxes get benefits while those who are richj t enough to pay tax wouldn't get benefits. *
You see, we intend to increase the benefits «* for the ooorest 15 per cent of the population.jf. and to pay for that by withdrawing some of - •
the tax concessions that the very well-off it* get." said Mrs. Williams.
* The prospects for the Alliance coming to.& power are dim, given Britain's "first-oast-the- *
post" system. In the las! general election the ^Conservatives polled 42.4 per cent of the na-
•& tional vote and got 397 seats. Labour which *- polled 27.6 per cent was only 2.2 points #
ahead of the Alliance but got 209 seats „* while the Alliance got only 23. Hence, the Al- *.jj. liance is sworn to a commitment to pro- -Jt
portional representation as a necessary ,,* change in the voting system.
* If under Britain's present electoral system..£ the Alliance's chances of forming a Govern- *fc
ment on its own are bleak, there are indica- #* tions that it can held the balance of power in•& a hung parliament. What are the issues, be- *
sides a change in the voting system, on .$* which the Alliance will stand firm and which* other parties seeking its support must heed? *
* Mrs. Williams smiled. "We've got four is- *„ sues, two of which would suit Labour, and ><•
two which would suit the Tories. Labour* would like these two we will insist that *^ j . any party we work with do something about #

A DISABLED DEMOCRACY
Rule Of Sycophancy And Corruption

By S. K. SINHA
NOT long ar.o there was anorchestrated debate on the
need to switch over to a presi-cential form of Government. Itwas argued lhat certain inherentlimitations made parliamentarydemocracy unsuited to Indianconditions. This debate now liesdormant but can always be re-activated if required. "With re-gional parties coming to power inseveral States, the urge to doso may become irresistible.
Recently at a seminar in Cal-cutta an American professor cit-ed an example from Americanhistory to show how a presidenti-al system worker!. Once, Abra-ham Lincoln asked his Cabinetfor views on a particular pro-posal. All its ten members eppos.ed the idea but Lincoln over-ruled them saying that his "Yes''was more powerful than theircollective objections. The pro-fessor said that it would not bepossible for a Prime Minister ina parliamentary democracy totake 3 decision in this mannerbecause of the Cabinet's collec-
| live responsibility. The sueskerI was evidently unaware of how
parliamentary democracy workedin India.
CABINETIf, like Lincoln, the Indian
Prime Minister were to ask forthe views of members of hisCabinet he would find that mostof them had found out inadvance what he would like tohear and give their views ac-cordingly. The few who mightgivp a contrary view would im-mediately make amends and en-thusiastically fall inlo line.
In (he last 40 year;, severalEritish Ministers ha-, e resignedon account of policy differenceswith the Prime Minister. Duringthe tenure of Mrs Thatcher clone,several Ministers have resignedon this score. In India on theother hand, there have beencomparatively few resignationsfor such reasons. The Emer-gency was given a post factoendorsement by the ihen Ca' '
net without a murmur. Recent-ly, when a Chief Minister of amajor State was made to stepdown and appointed a Ministerof State at the Centre he saidthat he felt highly honoured atthe confidence reposed in himbv the Prime Minister. He aisostated that he felt happier work-Ing in Delhi, since politics WMhandled bv the leader in the ca>ital and he could, therefore, con-centrate on his work.
Whereas in the Xehm era noMinister used to go about an-nouncing his personal loyalty *ohim, nowaday? at every' conceiv-able opportunity. Ministers andother party members urotesttheir loyalty to the supremeleader nnd his rivnamic leadrr.ship. Loyalty to the leader seemsto be more impor'ont th'nloyaltv to the country or theConstitution. There has emerg-ed a tradition of Ministers pay-ing tribute even to heirs-ap-parert. who have little constitu-tional status.

While brads of gomay have been performing ?cm«func'inns which fall more withinthe domain of the head of State,\he lat'.er have generally notbeen transgressing their Describ-ed role. I' 's not necessary togo into the infamous episodeInvolving Mr Ram Lai in AndhraPradesh to see how th? accented
i norm of Governors not identifv-| ing themselves with any politi-
cal party is nowadays flagrantlyiviolated. The eight Governorswho attended the Congress Cen-tenary celebrations 'n Bombaydid no credit to their high oflice.The Speaker of Parliament, too,is expected to observe this norm.It was, therefore, unfortunatethat he accompanied the PruneMinister on a tour of Kapur-thala in Punjab in August 1985to address a meeting organizedfor laying the foundation stoneof the integral coach factory.In his speech at this meeting,he even compared the PruneMinister to Lord Rama.
The distinction between thegovernment and the ruling partyhas been • getting increasinglyblurred with the Prime Ministersimultaneously functioning asthe Congress (I) president. Therecent extravaganza in Bombaywill be long remembered notonly for some incidents renrni-scent of what happened at Nag-pur two years earlier, but abofor the cnanged values both inthe party and the Government.Plain living and high thinking•—which used to be the hallmarkof the old Congress—has beenblatantly replaced by high liv-ing and plain thinking. The TOOrooms booked in five-star hotelsin Bombay and the proceedingsof the session were a tellingtestimony to this change. It issaid that over Rs 30 crores wasspent on this jamboree, besidesthe open misuse of vari-ous Government facilities. Ob-liging States, industrialists andinstitutions were only too will-ing to make contributions.Against this background, all thetalk of eradicating poverty andremoving corruption soundedrather hollow.

Lisbon, Feb 17 (AFP)—Socialist leader Mario Soares waselected Portugal's first civilianPresident in 60 years in a closelycontested poll on Sunday.
Thousands of flag-wavingPortuguese poured into wind-swept Lisbon streets, dancing andsinging in the rain to celebrate thevictory.
With almost all of the votescounted, Conservative candidateMr Diogo Freitas Do Amaral con-ceded the election while trailingby more than 150.000 votes out ofsome six million.
Final figures gave Mr Soares51.35 per cent of the vote agamst48.65 per cent for his defeatedrival.
Mr Soares, 61, promised thathe would be "the president of allthe Portuguese", and not just theleader of his party or the majoritywhich had elected him.
Known as a pragmatist andmaster of compromise. Mr Soaressaid he intended to cooperatewith the present government ofPremier Anvbal Cavaco Silva,whose party is more conservativethan indicated by its Social Dem-ocrat label.
In a double-edged congratula-tion, Mr Freitas Do Amaral said:"In a democracy, the people alonedecide. I respect their decisionand hope it is for the best".
General Antonio RamalhoEanes, the outgoing left-of-centre
President who could not standagain after serving two five-yearterms. also saluted hissuccessor.
The Socialist leader won in astraight run-off against MrFreitas Do Amaral after a first-round multi-candidate ballot latelast month in which he had 25.4per cent of the vote while the Con-servative soared 46.3 per cent.Jailing short of the absolute ma-jority needed to win outright.
For Mr Soares, the presidencyis the coronation of an active po-litical career, which included thepremiership or a cabinet portfolioin seven governments followingthe April 1974 bloodless revolu-tion which, put an end to half acentury of dictatorship.

In the first round three weeks^ago he won only 25 per centagainst Freitas Do Amaral's 46per cent. Two othe'r Left-wingers*were eliminated after the firsts,round and both pledged supportfor Mr Soares. three-times PrimeMinister. fr
M r Soares h a d run his cam-frpaign on a platform of m o d e r a t i o n ,and competence saying his expe-rience meant he could help avoid 'the successive crises and frequent •government changes Portugal has,,suffered since its 1974'revolution. '
But he also portrayed himselffras the champion of freedom wonf.by the revolution which over-threw nearly half a century ofRight-wing dictatorship. / *

LONDON. Feb. 17.Dr. Mario Soares, veteran European socialist
intellectual and former Portuguese Prime Minis-ter, was on Sunday elected the first civilian Pre-sident of the country in 60 years.
He won a clear vic-tory over his right-wing opponent, Mr.Diogo Amaral. whoenjoyed the supportof Mr. Silva. PrimeMinister, and head ofthe new Social De-mocract centre-rightmajority Government.
Dr. Soares. who is62. was Foreign Minis-ter in three Govern-ments, Minister with-out Portfolio in oneand Prime Minister in . ---~-™« - .three. He is a prominent member of the Social-ist International in Europe. He is the one politic-ian closely identified with Portuguai's democra-tic evolution since the overthrow of the Salazardictatorship in April 1974.
The Portuguese President is elected for a •five-year term and eligiole for a maximum oftwo terms. Dr. Soares will succeed Gen. Eanes.head of S'sta since 1976. While lacking the ex-ecutive responsibilities of a French President,the Portuguese head of State has extensivepowers, including that of dissolving Parliament.
Narrow victory: Dr. Scares' ejection Victoryis narrow and was made possible by the sup-port of the communists. This fact rases somepolitical quest ons about the prospects of com-
munist influence and possible hoid on the sociali-sts, who may be keen to form the next Govern-ment when Dr. Soares orders dissolution ofParliament The certre-right Social Democratsled by Mr. Silva have made considerable pro-gress to oeg the country's growing external de-ficit, but Portugal's economic problems are daun-ting. It ranks among the poorest and economi-cally backward' European nations and as thenewest member of the European EconomicCommunity of 12. it can expect substantial aidfrom the Community's develooment funds.
With Dr. Soares as the new head of State.the Portuguese will have a President who is awidely respected and admired political figureall over Europe. It is possible that Dr. Soareswill be more like the Frencn President. Mr. Mit-
terrand, who has given new practical d'me-vsions to his socialist idealism. In fact, some FTT-chmen feel that Mr. Mitterrand is more & aGaullist. centre-riqht politician than a social.st
Encouraging evolution: Despite evident shor-comings, Portugal's evolution out of the pes:-"-—volutionary chaos of over a decade has ce=rencouraging. Full membership of the EurocesrEconomic Community from the beginnire -Jthis year followed by the emergence cr Zr
Soares as first civilian President may lend c=c-bility and respectability to the April 1974 revo;.-tion, created to usher in Parliamentary oerc-cracy.
More than any other figure, Dr. Soares sknown abroad as the founding-father of Por-uguese democracy. His reputation dates ~z~the 1960s when he was imprisoned and ex -reby the Salazar dictatorship for his legal de^s-csof political dissidents. From 1970, he lives -France and worked among the large Pcr.-
uguese immigrant community there,ting the political base he had established * rtne formation of the Portuguese Socialist Pa—,in 1963. It was during this period that he ;•?•came well-known through PIS writing and his art-vity as a Portuguese anti-facist. When the r~wing military officers staged the April i~*coup. Dr. Soares returned l o a triumphant »*r?-come. occupying the post of Foreign M•-srarin the first post-revoiuntionary military Gove~>-ment. Ever since, he has been the charis--.=:cand popular political figure, both at home =rcabroad.
Dr. Soares is married to actress Maria BBTroso—they have two children. He is an ^i-spoken champion of the third worid issues. ca~-cuiarly in the forums of North-South dia cc.eHe is regarded as an admirer of Indian oe~o-cracy and its pursuit of non-aligned po -BEwithin the gambit of superpower politics.
Master of compromise: Known as a prac~.sist and master of compromise. Dr. Soares '^x.he intended to cooperate with the present Gov-ernment of Premier Anibal Covaco S .=whose party is more conservative than i-c :s-ed by its Social Democrat iabel.
In a double-edged congratulation. Mr. F-^-^sAmaral sa>d: "In a democracy, the s e x *alone decide. I respect their decision ana ~:aeit is for the best' - /

Marcos must go #It is as well that Ronald Reaean has quickly back-
tracked on his most puzzling observations on the controv-ersial presidential election in the Philippines. At his newsconference last week the US President hinted that "fraudcould have been occurring on both sides." clearlv blamingboth Ferdinand Marcos and Opposition leader CorazonAquino for poll malpractices. Reagan's attempt to equatethe discredited and decavine Marcos and the honsewife-turned-charismatic leader infuriated the vast majoritv ofFilippinos and raised many an eyebrow in his own countrvand for that matter, in the entire democratic world. In goodtime, manv kev Reaean aides, including Secretary of StateShultz. Defence Secretary Weinberger and CIA chief
• Casey, cautioned their boss on the unwisdom of commit-ting Washington to Marcos who. by all unofficial but au-thoritative accounts, had lost the election to Aquino. Theimportant question is why in the first place Reagan thoughtit prudent to stick to the tottering Filippino president whenthe preliminary findings of the US congressional monitor-ing team charged Marcos and his cronies with stealing thepoll through violence, monev and a host of fraudulentmethods. Marcos"s various acts of deception to denyAquino of her popular verdict have been corroborated byother foreign observers as also by some 700 foreign-journalists covering the election. Failing all ploys to cheathis emerging political rival. Marcos promptly entrusted thepoll counting exercise to the National Assembly,dominated by members of his own New Society Move-ment. And dutifully the subservient body proclaimedMarcos the winner by a margin of over 1.5 million votes.Significantly, it was after the Assembly's announcement ofMaroos's victory that Reagan hastened to change his tune.He has now charged Marcos with perpetrating widespreadfraud and violence which raises serious doubts about thecredibility of his poll victory.
Concievably. Reagan's concern for vita! US strategicinterests in the region, tied up with its two major naval andair bases in the Philippines, induced him to go along with asworn anti-communist like Marcos, rather than pin hishopes on an uncertain Aquino. But in the process, he hasclearly ignored the harsh fact that the Communist in-surgency has been steadily gaining ground in spite ofMarcos's tough crackdown. The growing instability that isbound to plague the entire archipelaeo in the wake ofMarcos's fraudulent poll victory will indeed be fertile groundfor the leftist forces to spread theirtnilitant wings turther.This is a scenario which Reaean can hardlv relish. There isno question that the Philippines is in for a lone spell ofviolence and bloodshed, despite Aquino's assurance thather struggle against Marcos would be based on the Gand-hian principle of non-violence. While it would be interest-ing to watch Reacan's next move on the return of his,.

Tie Presidential election in the Philippines onFebruary 7 was an attempt, prompted by the USA, toreconcile President Marcos and Democracy. But theReagan Government may be finding that the two makestrange bedfellows and that it must choose betweenthem. Our Singapore Correspondent, K.S.C.

planned operation leaving nothing to| chance.
That these charges were not madelightly was borne out by to observermissions whose members watched thepolling in different parts of the coun-try.
One of them was a bi-partisanAmerican Congressional missionwhich came to the Philippines at theinvitation President Marcos extendedto President Reagan because the Phi-lippines leader wanted to disabuseAmericans of suspicions of a riggedpolL
The other was a 40-member missiondrawn from 19 countries with dispa-rate forms of Government, also invit-ed by the Philippine Government.
Before the Ainerican mission came,there were orchestrated protests inthe Government media saying that themission was "interfering" in thecountry's internal affairs, convenientlyignoring that it was there at the in-vitation of the Number One. The ideaof protests seems to have been to forcethe mission into a defensive posture.
But the incidents of cheating andfraud were so overwhelming thatmission leader Senator Richard Lugarhad to concede that they had witnes-sed disturbing reports of efforts toundermine the integrity of the elec-toral process, both during voting andvote-counting.
The Lugar report is expected tohave an important bearing on the US'future relations with the Philippinesand Mr. Reagan's promise to increaseaid if the elections were free and fair.
The international observer missionwas no less embarrassing to the Mar-cos Government. "We haveobserved," said its leader, formerColombian President Misael Pestrana,"occurrences of vote-buying, intimi-dation and lack of respect for electoralprocedures."
Mr. Pestrana also found the delay inthe tabulation of results and the con-flicting counts by Comelec andNamfrel "damaging to the credibilityof the election."
The delegation was impressed bythe work of Namfrel volunteers,(about half a million of whom toiledfor weeks, who it said acted "in anon-partisan manner."
The divergent election results pro-duced by Comelec and Namfre! aiuldbe a big political joke but for theextremely damaging consequences tothe nation.
It was obvious from the beginningthat despite the agreement betweenComelec and Namfrel on poll-watching and tabulation, each wassuspicious of the other. Comeiec. asan official body, does not carry much
though it continues to have the samename.
Namfrel chief Jose Concepcion,.abusinessman, dismissed charges ofCIA funding as nonsense, saying that,h ii b bi
With Comelec and Namfrel lackingthe mandate, the scene shifted toParliament, which is the only author-ity to declare the results.

It has an impressive infrastructureof hundreds of workers, dozens ofcomputers and hundreds of telephonesin its Manila headquarters to link theCapital with the outlying islands andregions. Yet its count was slower thanthe other's.
Comelec's claim of impartiality wsblown sky-high when some of itscomputer programmers walked out ofthe job complaining that they hadbeen asked to tamper with the resultsin favour of Mr. Marcos. They wereasked to input only the figures for Mr.Marcos, some of them told newsmen.
That the technicians had to takerefuge in a church where they spentthe night because they feared reprisalsby the military was a sad comment onthe law-enforcing agencies.
As Comelec charged that the menwere "Cory plants" to sabotage theofficial count, more of them walkedout in sympathy with their strikingcolleagues.
The situation at Namfrel's tallycentre was a different story. Head-quartered in a Catholic school, thecentre was managed by volunteers,most of them high school and uni-versity students, aided by a few priestsand several nuns.
Furnitun was bare, and acousticsnil. but their was plenty of dedicationand motivation. This correspondentnoticed the frugal meal all of them,including the priests, had at lunchtime. The "proletarian" lunch packetscontained a small quantity of rice andsmall pieces of meat and little else.
Its counting got off to a quick startbut got stalled by communicationbottlenecks and the lack of returnsbecause its inspectors were physicallyprevented from going to the booths.
There were also attempts galore todiscredit Namfrel as an outfit of theAmerican Central IntelligenceAgency(i) A former Minister and asenior KBL official went on TV toaffirm that Namfrel was created in1953 to support the election of RamonMagsaysay.

The 68-year-old Mr. Marcos, whohas ruled the country for more than20 years, is facing the first real, andmoral, challenge of his career. It isunlikely he can repeat his 1972 stra-tagem of resorting to Martial Law topre-empt surging opposition againsthim.
In any scenario, the army's role isvital, and second only to the stance ofthe United States. The army is nowheaded by General Fabian Ver, aMarcos man, but a reform movement
appears determined to keep up street'"prayers", a euphemism for demon-strations that are bound to lead tochaos and anarchy which cocldfurther damage the battered economy.
As long as the campaign remainsaon-violent, Mrs. Aquino can expectconsiderable support from the Catho-lic Church, whose most influentialleader, Manila Archbishop JaimeCardinal Sin, has consistently expres-sed his support for her.

Then he committed another error ofoung Turks judgment in not cancelling the elec-would depend tion because the fighter and the or
timist in him decided to battle on.Warning signals of people's power
which in the Philippines corns, in"deep yellow, were hoisted during thecampaign, bur the ruling party, Kilu-sang Bagong Lipunan (New SocietyMovement) (KBL), which had refinedelection manipulation to a fine art,remained confident of victory.
For good reasons too, Manila new-spapers and commentators have ex-P«eQ the most blatant violationswhich showed that it was.? t
Money is no objectBUSINESS HAS been
bad in the Philippinessince 1983 when the chari-smatic opposition leaderBenigno Aquino was assas-sinated as he flew backhome after a period ofself-exile in the UnitedStates.
Close on the heels of the killingcame the world recession. Thismeant less local and foreign in-vestment and lower prices for thecountry's staple products, sugarand coconut.
But the Presidential electionwhich concluded on February 7brought about a windfall of sortsthat may not be reflected in theGross National Product (GNP)tabulations.
Much of this was accounted forby the business transacted incampaign T-shirts, streamers, pins,buttons, ribbons and headbands.Substantial contributions alsocame in the form of cash paid tovoters, vote-catchers and strong-arm men.
On February 4 when Opposition
candidate Corazon Aquino (Cory),the widow of Benigno Aquino,held her final election rally inManila, her campaign headquart-ers said they had run out of all
enthusiastic people queuing forthe ytUow T-shirts and other pa-raphernalia.
The T-shirts which had Cory'ssmiling face and election sloganssuch as "Vote Cory" or "CoryDoy" (Doy being the nickname ofher running mate Salvador Laurel)were sold at 15 to 25 pesos (75 UScents to $ 1.25) each.
The Marcos T-shirts, emblazon-ed with the slogan "Marcos p*rln" (Marcos is there), an assur-ance that he will continue to lookafter his people, were more nu-merous. Almost all Governmentand public sector employees werewearing them and they claimedthey got them free.
Virtually every car, taxi andjeepney in Manila had a sticker,either for the President or extol-ling Mrs. Aquino. One of Mrs.Aquino's stickers had this juicyslogan: "Cory — a bright hope,Marcos — • proven failure.

PRESIDENT REAGAN'SA decision to send veterandiplomat Philip Habib to Ma-nila for talks with the tworivals in the contest for thePresidency underlines the im-portant role the United Statesplays in Philippine affairs.
.That Mr. Habib should be going toManila so soon after the return toWashington of a bi-partisan Congres-sional observer mission that Mr. Rea-gan sent to the Philippines was takenas an indication that Washington wastrying to play down the mission'sstrong condemnation of vote manipu-lation by the Government.
Mr. Reagan, who began the"vote-watching" operation with a firmcall to President Marcos to ensure freeand fair elections that would give thePhilippine Government "an authenticmandate," seems to have downgradedthis commitment for democracy, put-ting greater emphasis on preservingthe two major American bases ir. thecountry.
"I don't know of any (thing) that'smore important than the bases in thePhilippines... one cannot minimise theimportance of these bases, not only tothe US but to the Western world andto the Filipinos themselves," he said.His argument was that the bases wereneeded to counter growing Soviet na-val strength in the region.
The President also tried to bringsome solace to the beleaguered Mr.Marcos by saying that there was thepossibility of fraud in the electionsoccurring "on both sides."
This was in direct contradiction towhat his own mission leader. SenatorRichard Lugar, a Republican, hadreported to the President hours earl-ier. Mr. Lugar, who spent five days inthe Philippines, said categorically ihatthe early vote count was "managed"and some results were aborted by
- 180 -
*
*
*message to Senator Lugar by demon-strating outside his hotel during hisstay in Manila. Others see Americanmeddling as part of the problem itself.
As a veteran Manila journalist re-ported during the height of the con-troversy over the conflicting electionresults: "The signs are that Mr. Mar-cos's fate would be decided not inParliament but in the streets and inWashington DC."
The Americans have a hold not onlythrough their dominance of the eco-nomy but also through aid dished outto Manila in return for the use of theSubic Bay naval base and Clark ailbase.
Filipino academics have producedstudies which show that the UnitedStates had intervened in Presidentialelections beginning with the firstcontest in 1949, three years after thecountry became independent of theUnited States.
They have documented the Amer-ican role in the next election in 1953,when Washington came down heavilyon the side of Mr. Ramon Magsaysay.It was during this election that acitizens' watchdog body, with theacronym NAMFREL, was formedspecifically to counter cheating andfraud by the President's camp.
NAMFREL is said to have beenco-ordinated and funded by the Cen-tral Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Observers draw many similaritiesbetween the 1953 election, which Mr.Magsaysay won, and the 1986 poll.
During the current election, therewere reports that the US was indulg-ing in a little "gunboat diplomacy" bydeploying warship Blueridge and air-craft carrier Midway. During the1953 poll a US naval flotilla hadcruised outside Manila.
Senator Lugar was questionedwhether the gunboats were intendedto influence the poll. His reply, pre-dictably, was no.
Several unofficial explanations wereforthcoming fur the deployment of thenavai vessels, including a scenario of
Government officials.Said Mr. Lugar: "Our gut political
reaction is that the results of the countwere managed and aborted by Gov-ernment officials." He had expressedthe same opinion before leaving Ma-nila last Monday.
Mr. Reagan's statement drew asharp rejoinder from Mrs. CorazonAquino, who warned him not to"conspire with Marcos" to cheat herof the victory she claimed in theFebruary 7 poll soon after the firstresults trickled in.
"I would wonder at the motives of afriend of democracy who chose toconspire with Mr. Marcos to cheat thePhilippine people of their liberation,"she said.
Mr. Reagan's statements, alongwith the White House spokesman'scall for "both parties to work togetherto form a viable Government" and toavoid violence were interpreted asimplied criticism of Mrs. Aquino'scail for street demonstrations if shewas "cheated" of victory.
During the election campaign, Mrs.Aquino bad concentrated on majordomestic issues such as the economy,treading carefully on the question ofAmerican bases. Rejecting pleas fromthe left-wing alliance for the liquida-tion of the bases, Mrs. Aquino de-clared she would let the base agree-ment run its course till its expiry in1991 and keep her options open aboutthe future.
So there is considerable disap-pointment in the Aquino camp aboutthe American attitude and fears thatMr. Habib may be coming to Manilato work out some compromise betwe-en her and Mr. Marcos.
This feeling is particularly sharpbecause the Opposition was confidentthat American pressure on Mr. Mar-cos would cripple his capacity forfraud and render unto Mrs. Aquinoher rightful due.
The leftist parties accuse the US ofmeddling in Philippine politics — andseemed determined to deliver this

WHAT began with an ethi- ~>cal Dang ha; envied in a
political whimper. SVnaiever MrKamaxmnna Heaie's justifica-tion tor being sworn in onc-a j i n as Chief Min.iter. boththe Janata Party and he stanadiminished. Tr.eir mcralbtkpostures will wash no more.
JNow that tfcs writer has had joccasion to read tne Hig>i \Court judgment m the arrauis
j uottling case, he is amazea (or; saall he say not amazed) at thehalf-truths being circulated t>ythe Janata men aoout what thajudgment has actually said.
It is beini1 propagated thatno mam hde hai been aitnbu<.-ed to tne riegae Government.Tais is a haa-truth. What theCourt has said ;S that since ithad already hell that the im-pugned order was unlawful, "weconsider it unccessary to de-cide this plea ioi mala fide)".In plain terms this meansthat the writ apclicanU havingsucceeded in the case on oneground it was hardly necessaryto examine anoiher ground.
It is also bein* propagatedthat the petitioners had with-drawn their a'f.ejatiins againstSir Hegde o* showing favourto his son-in-law, but what isbeing hidden Is that the ludg-ment c'.earlv shows that theChief Minister himself was ar>artv to an ille'alitv. Let it notbe mistaken as a lofty ChiefMinister assuming constructiveresponsibility for the omissionsand commissions of his civilservants.
FOULIt is also clear from the ludg-
ment that the Hegde Govern-ment strained every nerve tosee that it3 foul act did notcome to pu'o.ic knowledge.There were three sets of writpetitions before Lie High Court.Two of the sc-.s were by per-sons or institui.ons directlv ail-ected by the Government awardof the bottling contract. Thev
uiumaufiy witnurew ureir men-tions after coming to some sortof a settlement. The third setof petitions was by persons in-terested in public interest liti-gation. Thev could not be wonover or sdlenced. The Govern-ment's guilty conscience is In-dicated by the strategy follow-ed. Those directlv affected bythe award and thus having avital stake iaj the matter with-drew their petitions, leading tothe understandable accusation
hand in it. The Government"•lestionerf the right pf those"ot directlv affected by the con-ti*3ct to move writ petitions.Yet another strategy was hurried-lv to amend, the relevant rulessf+«>r the writs ^M been filedand to try to legitimize the ac-tion. The Court saw through
These pnints are best discuss-ed in the manner in which theyfigured before the Court. Theissues before it were four: whe-ther the petitioners (who claim-ed public interest) had the locusstandi to present the petitions;whether the Government's deci-sion to grant the contract wasjusticiable: whether it was inviolation of law, arbitrary andcapricious; and whether it wasmala fide.
It needs to be stressed that,on the first three issues, the
. High Court decided against the1 Government and it did not con-crfpr if jipp^scT-v to rtep'r]? the
. fourth issue because of its deci-sion that the (Jo»ernment's ac-cioa had Deen unlawful, capri-cious and art>iuary.• un tne question of locus

If the injury was suchthat, without the individual con-cern?d complaining about it, norelief could Be granted, a pe::tion by any other person wouiunot be maintainable.

Ifilii' unsuccesslu) applicants were"won over ar.d run over", theCourt's aoors could not be clos-.cd to publ.c interest litigationon the ground that unsuccessfulapplicants had backed out. Itwould amount, the Court said,to destruction of the Rule ofLaw. v.hich is one of the basicstructures of ;he Constitution. Toclose the judicial doors in sucncases would itself be injuriousto public interest.
What had happened in thearrack bottling case? The Coirtpointed out that the alienationwas that a largesse amounting toover Rs 50 crcres had beengranted to those who were legal-1
<y not entitled to it and denied;io those who were. This hadjbeen done by not awarding theusual yearly contract hut stretch-ins it to four years- The furtherallegation was that one of the)beneficiaries was a benamular of [the Information Minister and ad- srmttedly his relative. Private in-1dividual^ had been preferred to-public sector undertakings. The IMysore Sugar Company, a State jGovernment undertaking, which |qualified to get the contract wasignored. The three eligible butunsuccessful applicants had with-drawn their petitions becauseof alleged pressure brought tobeat upni them hy the Govern- >ment. "Whatever the reason",the Court said, ".he fsi.t remainsthat they have filed the memosseeking permission to withdraw ithe writ petitions on which we •decided to pass orders along;with the first two petitions. Thetwo survivors are Ihe two publicinterest petitions". The Court'sconclusion was that every citi-zen in the State had sufficientinterest in the case to approachthe High Court and seek nulli-fication" of the decision.
As for .iustieiability. the HighCour> held that some Supreme .Court decisions had clearly laiddown that if privileges concern-ing the liquor trade were grant-ed in violation of law or weremala Sde, the Court could al-ways interfere.
As regatds the third issue,illegality, the Court pointed outthat, under the rales, the bot-tling operations could be carriedout only under a licence How-ever, the Excise Commissionerhad chosen people who did nothave the licence and rejectedthose who had. * * * * * * 4 H

It was stated before the Courtthat the Chief Minister had re-ceived some complaints ihatsome of the ,iDplicar.:.s fromother States with r.ifavo'iraMeantecedents had given local add.res?es an,; tr.at lie had made aconfidential inquiry into themand then decided to award thecontract to '-reliable and cap-able" persons- (And the State'sown undertaking did not fall inthis category'.) The Court want-ed to know how the results ofthe inouirv were m;<!e knownto the Excise Commissioner.There was no definite reply. All
that the State's counsel would |say was that U)e matter mignthave been discussed in person oreven over the telephone.
Anyway, in nis note the De-partmentaj Secretary put some !searching questions for the Ex-1cis° Commissioner to answer andlater caid in a note to the ExciseMinister that ivhils the Com-misHCjrj'r hod answered some o!the questions tiose relating tothe suitability of tb^ botilingcontractors largely remainedunanswered. And >et tae Mini*lei entire IO approve t ie ExciseCommissioner's recommendations.He noted that he had alreadydiscussed the Excise Commis-sioners proposals with the ChiefMinister and Mr Hegde had con-curred with them. The ExciseMinister wanted orders to beissued approving the Commis-sioner's proposals so that thebottling of arrack could be ex-pedited.
When the matter was referredto the Deputy Secretary. Fin-ance, he advised the Home De-partment 'o take into ac-CT.mtthe fact that there was nothingon record to tnow how the Ex-cise Commissioner had selected19 out of 131 firms- lie warnedthat if the record was not setstraight the m;tter could bechallenged before the Courts.His warning was ignored.
W3S the High Court wrongthen in concluding ft.n the Ex-cise Commissioner tr.d the Gov-ernrp'>r* 'v-re k;en on excluH'-"the distillers snd arrack con-tractors 'except one I surt select-ing the chosen few? Ar.d theydid so by flouting the rules.

WTien the deci=iqn was challeng-ed in writ petitions they hur-riedly amended the rules.
The Government contendedthat it was free to chanse anypolicy. The Court said that theGovernment was but if it feltthat a pilirv needed to be chang-ed, it had the dutv to amend therules first It could not select theman firs* and *nt» orre of therules later, as had happened inth<> case The Court was con-vinced that the Govprrm»"f«i
arbitrary, capricious and sub-versive of the Rule of Law".
UNEASYAs for the issue of mala fide,
as already mentioned, the Courtobserved that in view of itsfindings on illegality it did notconsider it necessary to decidethe issue.
Thus Mr Hegde. it turns outfrom the text of the judgment.had reasons for an uneasy con-science. He may not have beenfound guilty of nepotism, but hedid show little concern for theRule of Law. He acted like adespot. What made him per-sonally investigate the back-ground of certain contractors?Why did the Excise Ministerhave to discuss linuor contractswith him alone and not with thewhole Cabinet' What made MrHegde and his Information Min-ister ignore the notinas andwarnings of some conscientiousofficers who prefer uprightnessto pleasing the master?
If Mr Hesde has chosen notto appeal to the Supreme Court.It must be for the fear that theapex court in all Drolnbilitvwould uphold the High Court'sjudgment. Let him and his parrvno more talk of "value-baWpolitics". Any mention of the•eim now can only evoke deris-ive laughter.
Even though the KarnatakaGovernment has chi-"en not toanneal against the llish Court'sjudgment, some bottlin? contrac-tors, who stand to lose, have. Letus »wa:t the results.

When the Government orderof September 29, 1984, was issuedaward.ng bottling contracts :othe ""chosen eight", the Janataparty was making capital of tha"Mo.Jy tapes" in which MrVeerappa ilo.ly, then leader ofthe Congress^!) in the Assembly,was caught trying to entice aJanata MLA to defect with a:i offerof money With the media atten-tion thus diverted. none toofcnotice of tie arrack bottlingscandal. Syme of the aggrievedparties were placated, which ex-plains why one can walk into anytown in Karnataka today and buyarrack loose, notwithstanding theGovernment ban on such saie.Besides, some of the selected ap-phca.i-j are a/..-gfdly only bi .aamis for existing bottlers, whoseoperations still continue.
Nevertheless, a few of the ag-grieved parties moved the HighCourt for legal remedy. They toowere p&rsuaded to withdraw their'writ petitions. But the case K^Spursued s.ngle-mindedly by tu o>ordinary citizens. Engaging .MrShanti Bhusbao. Union u w .U.i.-is;er during the Janata reg.ir.eas 'defence counsel, the fio^'JeGovernment argued that the t.iolitigants, cot being aggrievedparties, had no locus staridi inthe case. Submitting that thegrant of bottling licences was a"delicate issue" which was -Meprerogative of the Governmentand could r,ot be questioned ina court of law, Mr Bhushan assert-ed that as far as ;lie liquor Ir<.<i8was concerned, "the power andprivilege of the State is absolute".His performance might be re-garded as one of the high-watermarks of Mr Hegdes brand of"value-based politics".

For the Opposition Congress (I),the judgment came as a heaven-sent opportunity.

Ata buetneaS advisory committeemeeting it was agreed to have atwo-day discussion on the bottlingscandal, ilr Hegde, however, de-veloped cold feet and resigned.But this was done in such a man-ner that many were taken in bythe appearance of a moral decision.The story of Mr Hegde's confi-dential letter to the Janata partypresident, Mr Cttandrashekhar,being lealced in New Deihi. fore,ing his resignation on February11, was a seLf-eEgioeered feat
When the Governor hesitatedto accept the resignation letterthe isstie **as forced by. nonaotiher than the Law Minister MrA.

Mean-while, there was a move for aspecial leave petition in theSupreme Court against the Judg-ment of the Karna'taka HighCourt by Mr Chaitanya Kumarapd others who had won the bot.tlirtg contracts.

Some ideas For ReformBy V. ESHWAR ANAND
WHAT can be done to re-store people's faith in
parliament1-' In lS7d, the formerLck Satma Speaser, Mr K. S.Hegde, ssid thai Parliamentcouid not aiiord to play the r>-leof a "Scoreboard" to register"party gums or personal vic-tories". Bui there seems to be adistinct change in the attitudeox the ruling parly in Parlia-ment. The Opposition cannotalways be blamed for the Ire-quent disorder. In many instan-ces, it is the Treasury bencheswhich provoke the Opposition byevasive, incomplete and impre-cise replies.
Falling standards of de-bate is another matter for con-
t cern. The Opposition's presentI inconsequential strength is often
cited as a reason. But then, inthe fifties and sixties, how couldParliament, even with a smallOpposition, emerge as a seriousand businesslike forum withdignity and authority0 Outstand-ing debates critical o£ the func-tioning of the executive weresometimes initiated by the rul-ing party itself. Among the mostmemorable were the debates onthe Dalmia scandal and theMundhra deal which were launch-ed by Feroz Gandhi. The Opposi-tion .on its part, used to take itsjob "seriously, doing its home-work and making interventionswhich were lisiened to by allsides.

The President's powers and how he can bremoved from office.
THE PRESIDENT, it is well-known,is the formal head of the governmentand all actions are taken in his name.In certain special cases - when noparty has a parliamentary majority orthe Prime Minister dies suddenly andthe like - he has considerable powers.But how much power does he reallyhave in a normal situation?
The answer seems to be: notmuch. Until 1972, there was consider-able debate over whether the Presi-
| dent was bound to act in accordancewith the advice of the Council of Mi-nisters. That year, the Supreme Courtruled (in Shamsher Singh vs Puni:b)'-hat ha was obliged to act on the ad-vice of the Council of Ministers. Dur-ing the Emergency, Mrs Gandhi's gov-ernment included a proviso to this ef-rect in the 42nd Amendment, requir-ing the President tn act on the adviceof the Council of Ministers. Janataamended this by adding: "Provided
j that the President may require theI Council of Ministers to reconsiderI such advice, cither generally or other-
vise, and the President shall act iniccordance with the advice tendered:;*:er such reconsideration."
So, though /ail Singh has enorm-ous formal powers — for instance.Governors hold office 'ai the pleasureof the President' - it is difficult forhim to use these powers without thesanction of the government. Sincethe 42nd Amendment, there has beenno situation in which the Presidenthas — in noimal circumstances - act-ed op his own. Should Z-i! Sins'h to
ahead and say, dismiss Jagmohan, thegovernment would probably have toask the Supreme Court to rule on theConstitutionality of his action.
The President does, however, havethe right to information. Accordingto Article 78, it is the Prime Minister'sduty to communicate to him al! deci-sions of the government. The Presi-dent can also call for information re-lating to the affairs of the Union andthe Prime Minister is Constitutionallybound to obey. Convention has-itthat the Prime Minister also calls onthe President after foreign trips, briefshim on important governmental deci-sions, and consults him on the ap-pointment of Governors.
The Giara's complaint is that thisbjvernment has broken those con-_
ventions and not fully respected hisConstitutional neht to information.He could respond — under Article74 — by calling for information relat-ine to governmental decisions, buthas chosen not to do so.
Should he decide to be awkward,what could he do? Well, for one, hecould dismiss Jagmohan. Even if theSupreme Court held, eventually, thathe lacks the authority to do so on hisown, he would still have caused aConstitutional crisis and embarrassedthe government en an issue on whichit is particularly vulnerable.
He could also use his powers to ir-ritate the government. In the case ofBills other than Money Bills, he canreturn the Bill for reconsideration in
A both Houses. Under Article 7-i(l), •.

Toward the5Vs ch KsVisions of political dealsand shifting alliances
After its birth in1958 at the hands
' of General Charlesde Gaulle, France's
Fifth Repub^c rested on the twin pillarsof a strong presidency and strict majorityrule. Its con."/.itution. designed to do aw3ywith the cumbersome, multiparty faction-alism of the previous regime, the FourthRepublic (1V46-58I. tended to polarize the
• body politic into left and right fclocs. The; result was a stable, if constraining system1 that has imposed a rigid framework on1 French political life. Of late, however, the
mold has begun to show some cracks.New trends and new departures—in theconstitutional realm, in the distribution ofpower, in the nature of political debate—are altering -he very shape of French de-mocracy. No one sees a Sixth Republiclooming on the horizon just yet. but thereare signs that France is evolving towardwhat Political Scientist Jean-Luc Parodiof the French National Political ScienceFoundation calls the Cinquieme-bis. or
. the Fifth-and-One-Half Republic.' The most important institutional in-i novation is the advent of proportionali voting in national legislative elections,j Adopted in I9S5 by the Socialist-domi-j nated National Assembly, the new eiec-I toral law replaces the old two-round, win-j ner-take-all majority voting system withI a one-round proportional-representationi ballot. La firopctionnelle was intended by' the Socialr.ts to cushion the imp-ct of aj widely exacted conservative victory inI the March 16 parliamentary election. ButI it could have more far-reaching effects.! The immediate consequences began
to be felt long before the campaignopened. Winning candidates are now cho-sen not by their personal score in the elec-toral contest but according to the percent-age of the vnte their party receives m eachof France's 100 departments. The partiesdraw up ;i ''Si of candidates before theelection, and those whose names are highon the iist .ire virtually assured ot election;
j those ne.H 'he bottom h.we little hope.I The rcsulimj! scramble for favorab'j pc-ii-
- 132 - ^ _tions tw> :iv:-'.ra\aied tensions within eachpolitical c;i>'ip Moreover, the eliminationof the so.vnd-round vote, traditionallyheld a wc-rk after the first, removes thetactical cc:ner.t that formerly held elec-toral al!un».'<> together, nameiy the needfor recip'i'va! agreements between alliedparties to --urport one another's candi-dates in tlic runoff.
-r^c. outcome is something of an ev-Pfy.party iiir-itself campaign: Socialistsa'nd'com:iiur.:sis are competing for the
leftist vote while, on the conservative side,the nominally allied Rassemblement pouria Republique (RPR.) and the Unionpour la Demc-cratie Francaise (U.D.F.)are subtly jockeying against each other—and warring openly with the far-rightFront National.
Eeyond its effects on the campaign,the proportional system may change thenature of parliamentary politics. While itwii! open the parliamentary ranks to suchformerly marginal groups as the FrontNational ana the ecologists. its main ef-fect win be to promote a more equal dis-tribution of seats among the four mainparties. 'A'itrt no singie party likely to :,wield a majority, political bargaining and jshifting alliances will probably becomemore commonplace. To some experts,this sounds depressmgiy like the state of
j political play during the Fourth Republic,i when coalition building was the norm; and France had 26 Cabinets in II'AI years. To others, it suggests the revolving-'•• door coalitions of postwar Italy. Says: Roland Cayroi. an analyst for the! Louis Harris organization: "DifferentI governments in the life of one parliament •
will be possible. Italianization will bepossible."
Another consequence could be ashrinkin? of the considerable powers of
! the President of the Republic because hisi ultimate political weapon, the threat of> dissolving, parliament ana calling new'• elections, will be blunted. Under ia pro-I poriionr.e'.le. it will be easier for .ncum-; bent Deputies to be re-elected: tr .:s they; will not tear a possible dissoiutic- of the] National Assembly as mucn as the;- do 10-• day. (The potential iong-wngc L-.-aclof! proportional voting may. otcours;. r.cvcr x

scheme, which wiii unfold in stiffs ir.'othe next decade, seeks to rearr^.ge therigidly centralized power stiuc:_'e thaihas held sway in France for mere thanthree centuries. When complied, theprocess will have transferred r . c h re-sponsibility over schools, health Mre. so-cial aid programs anc urban ue% t.: ?me-Hfrom Pans to lo\.a! and regions: authori-ties. Decisions that used to be re..'rrsJ to
' the capital and take years to pr;ce<s—aprovincial town's request to "r.x• - a roador enlarge a school, for exam;.;—maynow be handled locally in a rat ter ofweeks or months. At the same ume, ihegreatly expanded prerogatives c:'Jcpau-mental and rejiraal councils r.ive en-hanced their value as politic:, power
' bases. Such provincial politician as Re-gional Council President Rayrricr.d Mar-
' cel'in from Brittany or dreno,-.; Mayori Alain Carignon are gaining re.-rect andi influence on a national basis.j In the economic domain. - :«e has
been a stunning shift in recent years froma tradition of state regulation to a hands-off. market-oriented approach that, in theWest European lexicon, falls into the cat-egory of "liberalism." The liberal refrainhas become the battle cry of right-of-cen-ter opposition groups, once the most ar-dent defenders of the principle of din-gisme. or a strong government role in
; directing the economy. More remarkable,liberal ideas are also prevalent amongthe Socialists, who. after starting out in19S1 with sweeping nationalizations andgovernment-led reflation, have sharplychanged course. Nor is the trend limitedto purely economic matters. "Marketeconomy is one thing, but there is also em-phasis on individual dignity in a civil soci-ety as opposed to a state-controiled soci-ety," says Political Philosopher JeanMarie Benoist. an assistant director of theCollege de France in Paris. As an exam-ple, Benoist cites the series of huge dem-onstrations th.it swept across the countryin June !9S4. as some 4 million protesterseffectively forced the government to with-draw us plan to e\te.id state authority topriv.Ui' schools. Benoist attributes theshift lo the "exhaustion of the 19thcentury models o! collective salvation and
What France is witnessing in fact isa sh:up decline in the appeal of ieeoio-g\, both lclt and r.ghi. " There is a newideology, the ideology of an open world,of competition and challenge." says Po-
litical Analyst Bernard Rideau. who was i: a consultant for former President Valery j
Giscard o'Esuing. 'That is something ';important that is common to both sides ;
of the political fence in France." Otherooservers a;so point to a growing disaf-fection with organised politics, particu-larly among the young. Louis Harris'Cayrol cites polls showing that 55v>of French lS-to-23-ycar-olds considerinemselves not at ail concerned" with
: politics: rive years ago. the figure wasonly 40rt. Cavrol suggests that highyouth unemployment and "disiliusion-
i mem with the left" are at the base ofi the trend.
: AH this has fed a slow but acceleratingdrift toward what the French call conver-
•. ge'ice. or compromise and consensus. Pro-portional voting should further encourage
. the tendency by reducing the need for1 electoral alliance making and by dimin-, ishmg the polarization between left andi right. "The new system is going to play. down *hat the people call the religious• war' between the big parties." says
Cayrol. "and Frenchmen are going to behappy about that.' In a similar vein. Mar-keting Specialist Gerard Mermci writes inhis book Francascopie. a study of Frenchpublic opinion. "The French are tired ofthe eternal right-left dichotomy that hasdetermined the political scene for such along time."
Much of the impetus for convergenceiscoming from a younger generation of poli-ticians. In Grenoble, for example. V_iyor
! Carignon, 36. a neo-Ganlisi. hasmaosbi-I partisan policy-making a key tenet cf his• administration. Says he: "We have g:t toI replace our system of face to face "»uh a1 system of side by side." In Pans, Sccalist: Deputy Christum Pierrot. 39. agrees it's! a question of generations. In my genera-
tion, if we are open and progressive wej believe more or less the same things i:outI economic and social evolution, v.r.r.her• we are in the Socialist Party, the R.P *.. orj the U.D.F." Although he feels :hati French public opinion is not quite rady' to abandon the present party system _'. fa-
vor of a broad centrist alliance. r.;rrethopes for a coming together of ".ke-minded groups in different parlies to i cli-mate of compromise."
The process wiil be hastened t;- thearrival of the younger generation iz rosi-tions of power and leadership. On ir.j eft,the new breed is typified by Sc-cialiK Pre-mier Laurent Fabius. 39. and Eduction

inAlpir.e hillsides wedged betweeny Switzerland and Austria did not
shake; neither did the tens of thou-sand.-, of tax-smart holding companies takesudden flight in search of another hospita-ble haven. Still, last week saw whatamounted to revolution in tiny Liechten-stein; for the first time ever, women wereallowed to vote. That once heretical pros-pect had been raising alarums in Europe'slast bastion of unadulterated male suprem-acy' smce full adult suffrage was narrowlyapproved in a men-only referendum 18months ago. But when the ballot-boxsmoke finally cleared last week, the princi-pality's 7.140 newly enfranchised femalevoters showed themselves no more willingthan their fathers, brothers or husbands torock one of the world's most comfortablelittle ships of state: only one woman wasejected to Parliament.
That is not to say that Liechtenstein'swomen were shy about taking t he politicalpiunse. Eleven of the 41 candidates for the15 parliamentary stats were women, in-cluding 3 each from the pair of virtuallyindistinguishable political parties that to-gether have hf Id cozy sway in the principal-ity for decade^. Only Emma Eicenmann, a55-year-old ceramics-factory owner andmember of the Progressive Citizens' Party,pulled enough vote; to claim a seat.The bigloser was the newly created Free List, loose-ly modeled on West Germany's Green Par-ty, whose platform included a number ofunabashedly feminist pianks. Under Liech-tenstein's proportional system, it narrowlyfailed to win the 8 percent of the vote neededto get a parliamentary voice.

/ s a parody of democracy, the/ ) ' \ scene had a certain dramatic
I Zm. ^ charm. Until they were orderedH " into silence, hundreds ofcoiorful-ly dressed spectators in the galleries of ihcPhilippine National Assembly cheered •and booed passionately as politicians onthe turqiuise-carpeied floor below walkeathrough their parts One at a time, brownenvelopes containing vote totals fromeach of the country's 147 voting centersv.ere presented to the legislators for in-spection. Tallies were read aloud, and re-sults posted on green tote boards ihatwere lined up before the 200 maheganydesks of the Assembly. Charges flew that<ome envelopes were improperly sealed,that entire towns had been eliminatedfrom some of the tallying documents.Jeers and accusations rocketed back andforth, and recording the objections to allthe voting certificates took hours.
Inexorably, the charade moved thePhilippines closer to a new turning pointin a potentially explosive national drama.At week's end. the National Assembly,dominated by members of President Fer-dinand Marcos' ruling New SocietyMovement, produced us tally after angryopposition members walked out of thelegislative hall to protest government rail-road tactics. The rump gathering declaredthat Marcos. 68, had defeated his presi-dential rival. Cora?on ("Cory") Aquino.53. by 10.807,179 votes to9.491.716.
Thus, in a final travesty of parliamen-tary procedure, the Assembly formallydeclared that Marcos had been re-electedPresident, in an election wnose outcomehad been shaped by vote buying, intimi-dation, outright fraud and bloodshed. Thelegislative body also proclaimed the elec-tion of Marcos' running mate. Arturo To-lemino. 75. ending weeks of speculation
that the autocrat might rind a way :: in-clude Aquino's vice-presidential rur";ngmate. Salvador Laure!. 57. in his nev> . re-furbished government.
As the counting proceeded in the :oolconfines of the Assembly building, tachvote recorded for Marcos added ;."ger
and outrage to the tension building tzrxsthe far-flung archipelago. Tentative • butwith increasing signs cf uetermini-on.Aquino supporters were starting tc ^ketheir frustratior.s mlo the streets, '-ay-ing clenched fists and chanting "TiM!Fight!." thousands of Filipinos, ma'.-.edin a i 3-miie procession through the :upi-tal. They escorted the fiag-draped ;:-!inof Evelio Javier. 43. a regional A__nocampaign chairman who had been br.:al-ly gunned down clays earl:cr in the :~ov-ince of Antique. Though far smai.;.- inscale, the Javier funeral dernonstriuonreminded many Filipinos of the huji •ut-
pourings of Brief that foilov.ed the 1983assassination of Aquino's husband iteni-gno Aquino Jr.
Meanwhile, the 104-memberCathoiicBishops' Conference of the Philippinesadded its powerful voice to the clamor of
| those who claimed that Marcos had stolenthe election. After a two-day meeting, theclerics sharply attacked Marccs by assert-ing that "a government that assumes ormaintains power through fraudulentmeans has no moral basis." To those whoagreed with them, the bishops issued acall for a "nonviolent struggle for justice."
Watching these developments as thepolitical temperature in the Philippinesrose steadily was the slight, determinedfigure of Coraron Aquino. The quiet wid-ow who had turned into candidate andcrusader, who had ignited a popular pas-sion for change during her 57-day electioncampaign, continued to insist last weekthat she rather than Marcos was the right-ful President of the PhiJippines. Deliber-ately ignoring the National Assemblyhoopla, Aquino went on the personal of-fensive. She vowed ;o stage a giant rally inManila's Riral Park on Sunday to protestMarcos' alleged election fraud. Thatevent would be the kickoffof a protracted"People's Victory" campaign of similarrallies in coming weeks around thecountry.
The culmination of the Victory p!anwould be a nationwide general strike, ac-companied by other acts of civil disobed:-

democratic means, a strategy he has usedon four occasions since 1972. But !r:.i timehis victory, and his subsequent air.-.orily,seemed more hollow than ever.
Suddenly there was a prospec: :f dra-matic political unrest and rep:»:::jn inthe former U.S. colony, which r;:j-.: ulti-mately pose a threat to the two iir.TortantU.S. military bases on the islar.d; ClarkAir Base and Subic Bay Naval i5a.>j. Thegrowing confrontation promised to re-dound to the benefit of the Cc.r.-unistNew People's Army, whose ii"s.:rencyhas been rapidly growing and wii; s:on. inthe Pentagon's view, pose a real I7_iitarychallenge to the Marcos regime.
Few people had more reason :o beconcerned at the latest turn of ever, is thanPresident Reagan. Increasing:-.., tiieWhite House found itself on the spot inwhat Richard Holbrooke, a former Assis-tant Secretary of State for East Asia andPacific Affairs, called "the most seriousforeign policy crisis this Administrationhas faced."
As part of a U.S. bid to solve thi crisis.Philip Habib. 65. a specially arrcintedU.S. envoy, late last week flew ; : Presi-dent Reagan's behest to Manila, riabibsmission: to find some way of reccr.cilingthe opposing Aquino and Marcos criticalcamps. On arrival, the diplomat rrjr.edi-ately closeied himself for the ^tekendwith members of the U.S. emrass;. staff
Even as Habib winged on his v.;y, theAdministration was preparing to jsue a
statement in reaction to Marcos" pro-claimed re-election. Among other things.it declared that the election had been"marred by widespread i'raud and vio-lence perpetrated by the ruling party." Soextreme was the misdoing, the statementcontinued, that the elections credibilitywas "called into question, both within wePhilippines and in the U.S." The WhiteHouse then called on "all responsible f-ili-
ys to achieve
'"stability in their society" and to avoidviolence.
The Saturday statement, which Ad-ministration aides touted as a "majorblow to Marcos." was the White House'sway of extricating itself from a controver-sy over its earlier reaction to the question-able Philippine election. As official U.S.observers brought back eyewitness re-ports of widespread election cheating byMarcos supporters. President Reagan'sresponse had been less outraged thanmany members ci his own Administra-tion would have iiked—and than manyAmericans, treated to an unparalleledand intimate view of a foreign election.expected from their President. At a Tues- •day news conference. Reagan had ven-tured the possibility that fraud "was oc-curring on both sides."
Reagan's words led to a flurry of con-gressional responses that might ultimate-ly end in a bid to cut off all U.S. aid to theMarcos regime. Said Democratic Repre-sentative Steven Solarz of Brooklyn,chairman of the House subcommittee on *Asian and Pacific Affairs: "How we han-dle aid will be the test of how credibly wehave disassociated ourselves from a dis-credited dictator."
Perhaps even more important to theReagan Administration than the congres-sional reaction was a sudden freezing of
: relations between U S. diplomats and thei increasingly assertive members of the
anti-Marcos opposition. Aquino chargedthe While House with tilting in favor ofelection theft, and anti-American demon-strations took place in front of the U.S.
embassy in Manila. For his part, Marcosseized on Reagan's ill-considered remarksto try to bolster his own position.
The Reagan response raised a broad-er question of what exactly Washingtoncould do to affect the political course inthe Philippines, both to protect importantU.S. interests and to further Filipino de-mocracy. To many Administration crit-ics, the answer seemed to lie in some formof anti-Marcos sanctions, but at the WhiteHouse the problem was seen as morecomplex than that. Said an Administra-tion official: "We're trying to stay as neu-tral as possible, gently pushing Marcosinto making accommodations with theother side."

Washington'sLi Vi ofi-sta;ed preference during :r.ePhilippine campaign ^as only for a fairand credible balloting process. Theunprecedenied foreign-press coveragemeant thai the campaign was scrutinizedalmost as if :t •'•ere a U.S. election. Marcos .and Aquino appeared repeatedly on inter-view shows: U.S. television networks sentanchors to Manila to broadcast Hi elec-tion finale.
What Americans saw on iher televi-sion sets came as a shock. US v,ewerswere treated to a vivid documenu:ion ofMarcos supporters buying vo'.ts w-.thmoney and nee. of poll watchers :':jm the

I voting. In interviews on the scer.r almostj all the observers professed '.'r.;-nsel>esI shocked by what they had seen. ?-JI even
as the Lugar delegation arrived - Wash-ington, the Administration was i:eak:.-.gin a variety of increasingly cjscnar.tvoices about how the electio- resultsshould be viewed and how the U5 shouldrespond to them.
Privately, many lower- and kiddie-level U.S. diplomats were eu'.r^ed bywhat they considered gross a b ^ s of thedemocratic process by Marcos s_?toners.But on Monday. Deputy Sta;; Depart-ment Spokesman Charles ReJ~-n triedto put a conciliatory gloss on the umu':j-ous balloting process. Whoever - i s ever.
tually declared the winner. h-_- said, theU.S. hoped that "the two side c:in rei to-gether to avoid vioier.ee." PK-^dent Rea-gan struck almost the same nee that dayin a White House meeting y.r.h a jtoup ofregional U.S. newspaper edr.ors. Whilenoting that he was "concerned" about re-ports of election fraud. Reasan declaredthat the Administration wanted "to helpin any way we can . . . so that the two par-tics can come together."
Those sentiments took on a more as-sertive tone a! a White House press brief-ing. Spokesman Larry Spcakes stated flat-ly that when the hotly disputed election |results were "complete." both sides should <"work to form a viable govern meni with- Iout violence." A senior White House offi- icial was even blunter. Said he: "The main !thrust of our statement is not to have dem- |onstrations in the streets justbecause you did not Jike theelection. A strong governmentis essential to maintain a peace-ful resolution of the problems *that face the Filipinos."' The White House remarks
could only be interpreted asa warning for ChallengerAquino. The deeply religiousmother of five had warnedthroughout the election cam-paign that street protests werelikely if Marcos cheated duringthe balloting. But the WhiteHouse remarks also reflected amore conservative view of thestill simmering Philippine elec-tion crisis than that held bymany officials at the State De-partment. Simply stated, the di-lemma as seen on PennsylvaniaAvenue was how to strike a bal-ance between condemnation ofMarcos' activities and supportfor the stability of an importantPacific ally. As a senior WhiteHouse official later put it."We're in a no-win situation atthis point. If we accent thefraud, it gives Marcos an excuseto throw out the election. If weside with Aquino, it's a signal toher to take to the streets. We'reopting for stability, that's the key word."
Whether the W'hite House chose theconect way to achieve that ob^etive isanother question. If the Administrationstressed stability above all else, it risked

Finally, there still seemed to h: a *question in at least some White Hr-se *minds about Aquino's qualificai^rns #.for running the country. The Adminir.-a- „tion had previously said that it co-idwork well with either presidential ca;ii- *date. Last week, however, one Wr_:e *House official said in exasperation, "H r« ^State thinks that Aquino can govern ;.nher own is just beyond us."

But behind the choice of languagei was an assessment that for ail theI uproar following the voting. President
Marcos still had the upecr hand. 21least in the short term. There were r.osigns last week, for example, that thecountry's 230.000-merr.ber armed forces
i were about to disintegrate in Marcos'I hands. Said a While House efficul:
"It's obvious that Marcos has control."Above all, While House concern con-
tinued to focus on the two VS. iniiiwrybases, Clark and Subic Hay. Some U.S. of-ficials feared that if Aquino ever lock
! power, she would prove more susceptibleto leftist pressure to remove '.he br>.sesfrom Philippine territory. Cthers wereconcerned that an Aquino governmentwould be unequipped to cope with thegrowing Philippine insurgency. Marysimply did not believe that Aquino couldever wrest power from Marcos with any-thing less than armed force.
At the same time, the Philippine Presi-dent's grave problems with systemic lupuscrythematosus. a disease that frequentlyattacks the kidneys, make it likely thatthere will be a change in power in thecountry before too long. Said a senior Ad-ministration official: "Marcos isn't goingto last forever. We're trying to r.eip~'ho!dthings logeiherover there until some of thepersonal obstacles to change are gone."

T hat line of argument came moststrongly last week from NationalSecurity Adviser John Poindexierand his staff expert on Asian af-
fairs. Gaston Sieur. Among others who re-portedly felt the same way was WhiteHouse Chief of Staff Donald Regan, anex-Marine, who said on This Week withDavid Brinkley last month that the U.S.wouid condemn any electoral fraud, butadded that "if it's a duly elected govern-ment, so certified, you'd have to do busi-ness with it."
There was a competitive edge to theWhite House analysis. Some staffer; ap-parently felt that the State Depart-int.and in particular US Ambassador:: :hePhilippines Stephen Bosworth. hnc -.re-judged the Philippine election. Sc_: aWhite House official'. "They in e'Xi:: '-5ld
! mats at Foggy Bottom requir-ed a "clarification" of the VVh e *House views. But before L-.it *request was formally answers:. ^President Reagan held a -,-minute meeting at the Wh__;House on Tuesday with the re-turning Lugar.
The Reagan-Lugar meetir.2 ^was an ambiguous exercise. Si-ting in on the session wers *Poindexter, Regan, Defens.; *Secretary Caspar Weinberger #.and Secretary of State Georr;Shultz.

Said ihe President."If he was really trying to get away withfraud, you'd think he'd have burnid thoseballots."

Special Envoy Habib as a would-be media-tor. Tiic choice wr.s shrewd. A tireless ca-reer diplomat. Habib is a veteran Asiahand who retired from the Foreign Servicein 19S3 after serving as ihe Presidents
special emis=iaty to the Middle tast lla-bib's new job. s;:iu Reagan, would be toadvise on how the US can 'help the pco-p'e of the Philippines overcome the graveproblems their country faces, and to con-tinue to work for essential reforms."
Less than five hours later, the Presi-dent stunned Senaior Lugar and most ofthe other election observers with his casu-al but devastating news-conference re-marks. Reagan said Lupar's delegationhad briefed him on the "appearance offraud" during the voting. Then he said theobservers had told him that "they didn'thave any hard cvider.ce beyond that gen-eral appearance." At this point he gotin real trouble by adding that it was alsopossible that fraud "was occurring onboth sides." ,
Reagan's contentious remark was aflub, pure and simple. It was based on in-telligence reports from U.S. operatives inthe Philippines, who stressed (hat fraud ;by Marcos forces was overwhelminglymore pervasive than any by the Aquinoopposition. Reagan first made the accusa-tion during a practice question-and-answer session with his staff before theTuesday-night news conference. ThePresident was corrected. But, says a Rea-gan aide, "he had it in his mental comput-er, and it couldn't be erased."
The statement turned out to be a pain-fully important mistake. Senator Lugar,for one. quickly bridled at the President'sobservation. Claiming that Reagan "wasnot well informed." Lugar asserted thatthe predominance of fraud "was by thegovernment." Later the Senator said hewould probably consider curtailment ofU.S. aid to the Philippines if the ballotingwas discredited by an obviously orches-trated Marcos declaration of victory
Intentionally or not, the PresidentI soon discovered that he had knocked•' down a hornet's nest. Increasing numbers
of Congressmen used his remarks as aspringboard for issuing their own foreignpolicy prescriptions for the Philippinemess. Two days afier Reagan spoke, forexample. Democratic Senaior Sam Nunnof Georgia, an influential member of theArmed Services Committee, sent thePresident a two-page letter demanding"clear statements" that the Marcos re-gime had committed massive electoral
- 193 -i fraud. Nunn as?.ed for a pled;: that the :| Wh.te House wouid refuse to recoenve a •I Marcos election victory. Fi.-.aliy. Nunn
wanted the L\S. to terminaie all aid to thePhilippines if. as he put it. "the wili of thevoters, as expressed at the biliot box., isnot followed "
Another harsh reaction on the Hilli came from Congressman Solarz. After
Speakes' Monday press briefing. Solarzcharged that "they are smoking hashishin the White House. They appear to havelost touch with reality." A number cf oth-er Senate and House Democn-is vo»ed tocut U.S. rniiuary- and economic-aid ap-propriations for the Philippines (19i6 au-thcrizcuon. S2t5 rtuliion) unless the Ad-mintsiradon agreed to something like arejection of the election results. After the '
proclamation of Marcos' win, prospectsfor a friendly reception in Congress forfurther aid requests looked even dimmer.
'• Finally, it seemed that the new situa-: tion was promptirg seme influential Con-; gressmen to examine alternative sites fori the valuable U.S. military bases in theI Philippines. During his Tuesday news! conference. President Reagan alluded
vaguely to the existence of contingencystudies on where to move the sensitivefacilities, an extremely difficult andcostly proposition. On Thursday. SenateMajority Leader Robert Dole of Kansastook that search a step closer to re-ality. He announced that he would for-
• maily propose legislation this week thatwould ask the Per.:agon to evaluate the
; cost and feasibility of setting up alterna-i tives to the installations. No one doubled
that the cost of such a move would runinto the billions.
What virtually everyone in Washing-ton agreed on was that Marcos emergedfrom the election m a somewhat weak-ened position. Saic: a top Pentagon offi-cial: "It's an exceptionally unstable situa-tion. " The very instability compoundedU.S. difficulties m deciding wnat to donext. Said a White House aide: "There'sno magic solution to this situation. No-body js claiming tie has any inspiration onhow to solve this."
Indeed, the number of short-termU.S. options for dealing with the Philip-pine crisis remained embarrassinglysmall The decision to send Ensoy Habibto the Philippines may have bought theAdministration some time—but notmuch—to think futher about the prob-lem. Says a Pentagon omcul: "The longer

it takes to come up v-ith some sort of rea-sonable policy in the Philippines, the bet-ter it is for the Ccrr.mumsts.'
In that context, many of the more ex-treme proposals being advocated en Capi-
tol Hill run the risk of proving counter- |productive. Suceping moves to cut off jmilitary aid to the Philippines (a modest ;S55 million this year) seem especially ilikely to do more harm than good Morale ;among the often corrupt and ill-equippedPhilippine armed forces is already bad.An aid cutoff might make things worse,although some Philippine military re-formists dispute that. Even so. eliminat-ing all American money might proveespecially hazardous for armed-forces re-formers, who have been chafing at thestagnation of the late Marcos years With-out protective U.S. influence, many of theapproximately 1.200 reformers in the14.500-member Philippine officer corpsmight be purged.
Selective withholding of funds, how-ever, might have positive effects if proper-ly done. Such calibrated coercion mightallow the Administration to demand spe-cific reforms that would allow some de-gree of reconciliation to take place in thePhilippine political cauidron.
There is a great deal to be said forstatements like the one the Whits Housemade on the weekend. Asa senior SenateForeign Relations Committee aide pointsout. every U.S. President has enjoyedenormous prestige in the Philippines—more, perhaps, than any Philippine in-cumbent. Marcos is aware that publicU.S. statements deeply affect his legiti-macy, and the threat of further broad-sides might force him to make politicalconcessions.
But the stark fact of Marcos' stub-, bornness cannot be overlooked. On the• basis of his track record, it is not clear that
Marcos would submit to even the toughest•U.S. pressures. Indeed, the PhilippinePresident, who has long honed his skills asa ruthless innghier. mignt lash out inde-pendently if he felt he was dangerouslycornered. In an explosion of violence, thelives of his opponents might be ever, moredirectly at risk.
The limited range of those options un-derlined the importance of Aqui.-.: andher proposed r.cnvielent campaign Thisis a mighty challenge for someor; whohas spent most of her life in the v-.zn ofpolitics rather than at center stage.
Aquino s wrenching entry into an i;tiverole in Philippine public life can be catedfrom Aug. 21. 1983. On that dau herhusband. Opposition Politician Cei:gno
• Aquino Jr.. was gunned down whi!; yet-ting off a China Airlines Boeing ":7 atManila International Airpori on h_s re-turn from three years of exile in th: VS.Suddenly his wife was catapulted ir.'^ theposition of a national saint.
Politics.,however, had always ban inher background, and she was hare . anaverage homemaker. The daughter .v'ortsof the Philippines' patncian politicr- 'i.-ri-ilies. she was a helpmate during 2 J earsof marriage to the country's most r.:_-mi-nent opposition figure. As a sr;use.Aquino remained largely on the pc.'jcalsidelines, but within eight months J: her
! husband's assassination, she was s:_-np-ing the Philippine countryside on rcialf
' of opposition candidates for the couriry'si 1984 National Assembly elections Shei was prodded into running in the pre>.cen-! tia! campaign by. among others, .".urne! Cardinal Sin. leader of the Roman'Ci'Jio-
lic Church in the Philippines.Once committed to the presidential
race, Aquino quickly showed a stee • de-termination that belied her reserved, soft-spoken manner. She displayed re-jrk-able stamina. The galvanic response ihatshe elicited from ordinary Filipinos i i sheflew from town to town during the 5~-daycampaign came to be known as "r>r.-p!epower." Now a battle-hardened pc..~calveteran. Aquino intends to harness thesame force in her dangerous and qu;-,otscstruggle to occupy Malacanang Palace.
Last week she spent much of her timehuddling with aides and planning strate-gy. Aquino and her closest advisers real-ized very early that they had been outma-neuvered by Marcos in the questionableelection balloting. On Tuesday, the day
i that President Reagan ga\e his news con-: ference. a group of pro-opposition iegisla-I tors told top Aquino campaign officialsi there was no way to stop Marcos from
stcamrolling to victory' in the NationalAssembly tallies. Reason: he has com-plete political control in two importantareas of the northern island of Luzon plusthe central Visayan islands In ail thoseregions, he would be able to pad voting re-sults with impunity, thus overcoming anyAquino lead at the polls elsewhere.

and puTucty rr.uruerec oy men wi'ih al-leged ties to a prominent lejaer of theMa/cos forces in ire National Asscmoiy'see box*. Late iast week the bodies of tenmore people, al! said to be opposition sup-porters, were reportedly discovered innortherly Qutrino province. At least 156people havt been kilied in election-related violence since the presidentialcampaign began.
That grim figure was above averageeven for the Philippines, where violence isa traditional fellow traveler of politics. In1961. for example, before Marcos ap-peared on the presidential scene. .55 peo-ple were killed during an election cam-paign, that is still considered a postwarlow. In 19S4. during National Assemblyelections, more than 100 fatalities werereported.
Aquino last week was watchingWashington for important political sig-nals. She was b.idly stung by PresidentReagan's offhand reference to oppositionfraud during the election. She respondedimmediately with a press statement thatcoolly noted the appointment of EnvoyHabib but observed that on his last WhiteHocse assignment before retirement in1933. Habib had failed to end civil strifein Lebanon. Said Aquino: "1 hope neitherMr. Reagan nor Mr. Marcos is expectingto see our beloved .country go the sameway." Claiming thai she had been cheat-ed out of as much as 25'~c of the nationalvote, she declared !hat it would be folly forher supporters to "settle down to a West-ern-style opposition role.''
After Reagan's press-conference re-marks. U.S. Ambassador to the Philip-,pines Bosworth arranged a meeting withAquino to discuss Special Envoy Habib'simpending visit. The atmosphere duringthe session was both awkward and frigid.Bosw orth. a highly regarded career diplo-mat who has worked hard to gain ihe op-
i position's confidence, had apparentlybeen taken by surprise by the President'sremarks. Says a key Aquino supporterwho walked in on the Bosworth-Aquinomeeting: "1 don't know what the JapaneseAmbassador looked like when they werebombing Pearl Harbor, but I imagine helooked like Steve."
Any pessimism that Aquino may-have been feeling about the future, how-ever, did not impede her actions. Deiorethe memorial service for Jav ier. she paid aluncheon call on the country s 104-mem-ber Bishops' Conference to lobby for sup-port for her People's Victory campaign

ano to assure tr.e bisnops ct her commit- . ^ment to non\icier.ee. Shortly afterward ^she went public with her Victory plans.
A key factor in Aquino's, decision toi go forward quickly with a civil-disobedi-
ence campaign was the fear that her mod-erate forces would soon be overtaken bypro-Comrr.jrus; croups eager to exploitthe popular frustration at Marcos' formal
I election victory. As she pianned her forth-1 coming rallies. Aquino continued to act! forcefully to keep radical leftists fromi climbing aboard her campaign. Onej would-be partner: the 1 millicn-rr.ember] leftist coalition known as Bayan. whose: leadership is widely believed to ha.; links
to the Communist New People's Army.Aquino has every reason to be .ttry ofnewfound leftist allies. Throujh^jt thecampaign, she was repeatedly fcr:ed torebut Marcos' accusations that s.-e waslittle more than a stalking horse tor theCommunists.
Aquino's closest supporters art awarethat leftist forces are still waiting in thewings. Says an Aquino campaign rjuble-
• shooter: "The biggest problem we nave isthat if Cory does not act. the mcvierateswill be put out o( business." On the otherhand. he added, "if Cory acts, it w-J placethis country on the brink of reve-liuon."
Aquino's continuing resistance to. Marcos' victory is nothing more ;han a; calculated gamble that may ye: rrovoke
incalculable upheaval. Says Ra~:n Mi-; ira. a National Assemblyman and anj Aquino adviser: "We don't know ^rieiherj we will be able to keep control c ' ir this.i But we thought we would take izs risk.! We have to send a message to oiir :riends\ that we are net taking this situru iown."; That stark problem was clear.;• in the: minds of Presiden; Reagar. s White. House advisers when they dra:".ed his
weekend statement, it was impossible todeny that, as Reagan noted, tr.e peopleof the Philippines are "at a majorcrossroads m their history. Ther; ire noeasy answers. And in the last analysis,'.hey will have to find the solutionsthemselves." One way cr another. Aquinoand Marcos will soon dtterrr._"; that

$ w^ velio Javier, director of Corazon Aquino's campaign in the remote province *' Hi of Antique, was sitting on the iawn in front of the capital building, takir.? a „£ brtak from a debate over contested votes in his region, when a white veh.cie
•fr puUedinto the driveway. Without warning, a man in a black knit ski mask ieared *„*• out and started shooting. Javier jumped up and ran. Zigzagging across the bu_ J- ¥•'L ing's broad concrete pi a/a. he tried to escape the relentless barrage of bullets. At *• least one hit its mark Javier stumbled and fcii into a small fishpond. „•r Somehow, though, the ileemg man struggled to his feet and -t.'.jgered across^ the street. By this time, other gunmen had begun to close in. Tvo approached *i. from the left. Another, brandishing a .45 pisiol. appeared in frjnl oi'a warehe-_se. ** Javier ducked into an alley and tried to hide behind an outhouse dour. Bui :he #
f masked killer found his prey and finished him off'with a burst oi gunfire. * • „* Opposition leaders and many residents immediately claimed they knew '-io* was behind the killing: Arturo Pacificador. a Marcos crony v. ho is assistant - 2 - *i jonty floor leader in the National Assembly. Pacincador has operated like a -zr- #
lord in Antique, wielding political patronage with his connections in the ruir.g ^.f party and the power he has amassed under Marcos. Opponents say he has :r.-f sured his power through alliances with the legitimate armed forces and ties to essA reputable mercenaries known locaily as goons. "We cannot distinguish befj.i.-en • *, goons and the military here," said one provincial official afraid to have his s a •»
used. "Paciricador controls therp all." A Marcos defeat was seen as a threat to -.* such dominance.^ The day following the murder, the Aquino campaign released an interview *.L that Javier had taped before his death. "Every time I move around Antiq'ci I •• • have to'p'.ay cat and mouse with the goons of Pacificador." said the voice of u e *.* dead man. "I have to be elusive." The accused man denied any involvement. He „if insisted that the murder had been commuted by Communist insurgents or b; .'i-'£. viers political enemies. *
• Javier and Pacincador were longtime rivals. Javier. 43. a lawyer who studied •** at Harvard's Kennedy School of Go'-ernment and once served as provincial rrv- ^f erncr. had been an outspoken critic of President Marcos. Pacificador. 55. i i n* attorney who reportedly wen Marcos" loyalty by purging references to bo.^?.t 'i votes from the record of the 1971 Constitutional Convention, ile won his sec/, m *„ ihe National Assembly by beaiir.g Javier in one of the most controversial cin- $.
paignsofthe 19S4e!ection. On theeveof the voting, seven Javier i:upDoners-;re „* kiiied during a shoot-ou: with Paciricador and his followers. The Ministry cfjes- •* lice investigated, but never released i'.s findings. *^ Sensitive to the potential damage the murder could cause, particularly durvr.g *
a period when the country is undergoing intense international scrutiny, tne Vir- #* cos 3dniirustration moved to find ihe guilty. The day after the killing, a cor.su : >•if1 lary officer identif ied by wi tnesses as the m a n w h o p u r s u e d Ja> :e r ac ross t h ; • j -^ za was arrested. T h e government also promised a "swift and detinrj-e"' *
resoiuticn of ihe 19S4 incident. Welcome as those act ions were , they brought ct- •£tic comfort to ihe grieving familv and friends of Evelio Javier , or to ;he thcusc^ds ^
•* ofFi l ip iaot who wonder how democracy can survive amid gangland violence.

1. Ta/yab Mussain2, Ravinder Kumar • * . Respondents
Shri Khurshaed Ahmed a defeated candidate, through
this election petition called in question tha elsction
of Slid Tayyab Hussaini to tha Legislative Assenbly of
Haryan.a from 59-Tauru assembly constituency in tha bye-
election held in May, 1984. The validity of the election
uas challenged on tuo grounds, namely improper acceptance
of nomination paper of Shri Ravinder Kumar, respondent
No. 2, who, the patitionor alleged, uas disqualified to
contest the election because of/subsisting contract with
Haryana government for supply of bricks/tiles on ths
date of the filing of his nomination papers as uell as
on the data of declaration of result and, sacondly,
irregularities ucrs committed at the stags of counting of
votes. The petitioner alleged that a contract uas
signed between Executive Engineer, lining division, and
Shri Ravindor Kumar on behalf of M/s Aggraual Bricks
centre for tha supply of bricks. The tifra for supply of
bricks uas extended by Supdt. ETrsginesr upto 3una,1984,

Shri Ravinder Kumar admitted the execution and
subsistence of the contract till the date of declaration
of result but denied that his nomination was wrongly
accepted by the Returning Officers
The couneel of Shri Tayyab Hussain triad to challenge
the genuineness of the alleged extension of the contract
but the Court held that tho contract uas subsisting
on the date of filing of the nomination papers. He
also contended that no objection uas raised by ths
petitioner at the time of scrutiny of the nominations.
Therefore, as held by the Supreme Court in Ourga bhankar
flehta Vs. Raghuraj Singh & Others (AIR 1954 SC 520),
his nomination paper could not ba said to havs been
urongly accepted by tha Returning Officer, Shri Khursheed
Ahmed conceded this proposition. The Court concluded
that although respondent No. 2 uas having a subsistingbut for
contract with tha government/contesting the election,
his nomination paper uas rightly accepted by the
Returning Officer as no objection uas raised at the
time of scrutiny of nominations. It also concluded
that in the absonco of sufficient evidence to shou in
what manner the votes secured by respondent No, 2
would have been polled if tha impugned nomination had
not bean accepted, it was difficult to say whether
- 21 -
the result was naterially affected by improper
accaptance of the nomination papsr of respondent
No. 2. The second allegation was not pressed by
the petitioner.
The High Court dismissed the election

Through this petition, Shri Sushil Chand, a defeated
candidate called in question the election of Shri Ishuar
Chand to the Legislative Assembly of Himachal Pradesh
from 46~Daualamul<hi assembly constituency in the General
Election held in 1985 on the ground of improper reception
or rejection of votes during the counting of votes. The
petitioner initially lost the election by 16 votes.
Dissatisfied uith the counting of votes, he requested for
recounting of votes but even after recount, he uas declared
to have polled 9 votes less than Shri Ishuar Char.u uho
uas declared elected. The petitioner alleged that taking
advantage of disruption in electric supply tuice, the
counting staff uho uas under pressure accruing from
surcharged atmosphere caused around the counting hall
due to g thering of around three thousand supporters of
elected candidate outside the counting place, uho threatened
that they uould secure the result in favour of elected
candidate by any possible manner, collisded uith tha
elected candidate. Votes already counted were put in
ths lot of tho elected candidate and votes polled in
favour of the petitioner uere taken auay and counted
for the elected candidate. He also alleged that approximately

30 postal ballot papsrs were not taken into count by
the Assistant Returning Officer. The respondent raised
certain preliminary objections about petition but these
uere dismissed by the Court.
The elected candidate refuted the allegations.
The Assistant Returning Officer deposed before the Court
that although light went off twice, substitute arr ngement
of petromax was thsre and it could not be said that any
irregularity occurred under the cover of darkness. He
also deposed that the 30 postal ballot papers in question
uere received after th8 expiry of the time fixed for that

1. The Election Commission2. Returning Officer,3algaon
Assembly Constituency.3. Surendra kurrar Bhikimchand Uain . . . Respondents
Through the election petition, Shri Narayan
Govind Patil, a votar of thB constituency challenged
tha election of Shri Surendra Kumar Bhikim chand Dain
to the Legislative Assembly of Maharashtra from 95-
Dalgacn assembly constituency in tha general alaction
held in March, 1985, on the ground of improper allotment
of symbol 'Charkha1 to respondent No. 3, by tha
Returning Officer which according to him had materially
affected the election.
According to the petitioner, when respondent
No. 3 filed his nomination paper as independent
candidata, he sought Vi Scales 2. Lion and 3. Plan
as symbols in orders of preference. On the date of
scrutiny of nomination papers, he asked the Returning
Officer to allot symbol 'Charkha' uhich was reserved
for ICS to him. The Returning Officer turned down
his request. On that very day, subsequently, a
further order was passed by the Returning Officer
after receiving communication from the Secretary to

the Election Commission by uhich he alloted symbol
•Charkha1 to the respondant No. 3. Tha petitioner
contended that raviau of the first order at the
instance of Election Commission uas not valid as the
Commission hed no power in that respect.
The counsel for the respondent No* 3 i.e.
elected candidate said that after Shri S.B.Jain
had put in his nomination a3 indendent candidate*
he was adopted by IC(s) as its candidate and
before the data of withdrawal of candidature, the
necessary notice as required by para 13(b) of tha Symbol
order, was givan to the Returning Officsr. Hesaid
further argued that under para 18 of the/order the
Commission had power to giva directions to the
Returning Officer for removal of any difficulty
arising out in relation to the implementation of
any of the provisions of the order. But the Court
held that provisions of para 13 of tha order were
mandatory and specific and Shri 3ain had not
satisfied all tha three requirements for sponsorship
by a political party in as much as the candidate
did not state in his nomination papar that ha uas
being sponsored by ICS. Hence he was not entiled
for 'Charkha'. The difficulty was not a sort of
difficulty in which respect directions under para
18(b) could ba givan by the Commission. Henc9,

Commission uas not empouered to issue direction to
tha Returning Officer to change tha symbol aheady
allotted in this case.
The Court added that although the allotment
of the revised symbol 'charkha1 to respondent No.
3 uas technically wrong, the result of the election
uas not materially affected by this improper
allotment of the symbolV It therefore, dismissad
the election petition uithout costs vide its order

IN THE HIGH COURT OF MAHARASHTRA AT BOMBAY(ELECTION PETITION N0.19 OF 1985)
Flanohar V.Ran* . . . P e t i t i o n e r
Versus
Baluantrai Anbelal Oesai and6 others. ....Respondents
Shri Hanohar V.Rane, a defeated candidate challenged
the election of Shri Baluantrai A.Desai to the Legislative
Assembly of Maharashtra from 24-Flalabar Hills in the
general election held in March, 1985. He prayed that
he be declared elected. Respondent Not.4 and 5 uho uere
the unsucessful candidates were not served with summons
or notice of the election petition for a fairly long
period. The High Court therefore directed on 5.8.1985
for substituted service of the election petition. One of
the requirements of the substituted service was publication
of the advertisement in the Nav Bharat Times, a Hindi daily
of Bombay. This uas houever, not done by the petitioner*.
Subsequently it uas brought to the notice of the
High Court that respondent No.4 had been served with the
notice but respondent No.5 had not been served.
It uas contended by the Counsel far Shri Rane that
the failure to serve notice, on respondent No.5 night
result in dismissal of his prayer for being declared
elected but not in the dismissal of the election petition.
According to him, he could attempt to prove the corrupt
eontd....
- 29 -
practice. His alternative submission ua9 that if the Court
held that the petition as constituted uas liable to be
dismissed for failure to serve respondent No,5j he should
be alloued to amend the petition by deleting prayer (b)«
It uas contended that if this was allowed to be done then
he uould have got over the hurdle and the petition need
not be dismissed in limine by alleged non-compliance uith
section 82. The analogy of the ordinary c iv i l action uas
pressed in to service and i t uas pointed out that uhere
an amendment is alloued in a plaint i t uould relate back
to the dateof filing of the plaint. Accordingly if deletion
of prayer (b) is allowed, then i t must relate back to the
filing of the petition and uith the deletion of the said
prayer there uae no obligation on his part to join
respondents Nos.2 to 5 namely, the other unsuccessful
candidates to the petition.
The High Court rejected this plea saying -
"It is impossible to accept the first branch of theargument, namely, that uhat section 82 contemplatesis a formal joinder without a concomitant obligationon the part of the petitioner to effectively servethe joined party and make him available beforethe Court. On both the counts the analogy ofordinary civi l action is not at a l l justifiedas the said Act and the rules framed thereunderand the orders pertaining to allotment of symbolsconstitute a self-contained code which has i tsseparate independent requirements and provisionsof the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 or the Rulesframed by the High Court are of l i t t l e guidance asto hou these provisions are to be applied."
On tha basis of decisions of the Supremo Court, ths
High Court added that i t uas not competent to permit
deletion of the second prayer.

institution governed under tha Orissa Education Act#
1969. He uas thus allegedly holding an office of profit.
The argument of Shri Nayak uas that the
Managing Committee of the School accepted his resignation
on 5.2.1985 i.e. before the date of scrutiny of
nominations and that service in an aided school uas not
an office of profit under the State Government.
From the perusal of documents, tha High Court
noted that Shri Nayak ua3 suspended on 30.7.84 by
the Director of Education a3 the former uas involved
in many criminal cases and uas arrested by the police.
Contd...
- 32 -
Disciplinary proceedings uere contemplated against him*
The Director also iniiated proceedings under section 11
of the Orissa Education Act, 1969 for superseding the
nanaging Committee.
While Shri Nayak uas under suspension and the
proceedings fox supersession of the School Managing
Committee uere pending on 4,2,1985, the nanaging
Comnittes passed a resolution authorising the Secretary
to mova ths authorities either to reinstate Shri Nayak
or to temporarily appoint someone else so that studies
of the school uere not impaired. On 5.2.85, the
Managing Committee accepted the resignation of Shri
Nayak.
On 16.2.85 tha District Inspector of Schools
sanctioned subsistence allowance to be paid to Shri
Nayak for the period from 1.8.84 to 30.7.85 pursuant
to the letter dated 22,1.85 of tha Director and he
submitted the non-angagemant certificate for the
period from 1,8.84 to 31.1.85 in his letter dated
22.2.85 for bsing able to get the subsistence
allowance.
On 6.4.85, the Circle Inspector of Schools
did not approve the acceptance of ths resignation of
Shri Nayak, On that day Director passed an order
superseding the Managing Committee.
- 33 -
The High Court noted that it uas laid doun in
tha servica conditions that an employes had to give
one month's notice for relinquishing his offica.
Relieving an employee from duties by acceptance of
the notice before the expiry of one month amounts
to termination of service by the employer and
such termination of servica of a teacher of a school
requires prior approval by tha Circle Inspector
of Schools. It, therefore, held that tha respondent
Shri Mayak continued to be in service of the school
as ona month period laid doun in the service Rules
uas not over by than. Houavar, in the light of tha
various Court decisions viz. Bihari Lai Dobray Vg'i
Roshan Lai Dobray (AIR 1984 SC 385) etc. it held that
Shri Nayak uas holding an offica of profit but this
uas not an office of profit under tha State Government.
The election petition uas therefore, dismissed
uith costs by the High Court vida its order dated
4.11.1985.

(ELECTION PETITION NO.1O OF 1985)
• • • • •Or.V.C.Plisra • • • • Petitioner
Vs.
Dr.Raj Kumar Sanjay Singh 4 others. ....Respondents
Through this elaction petition, the petitioner
Or.V,C. Misra challenged the election of Shri Senjay Singh
to the Legislative Assembly of Uttar Pradesh from 12i-A«ethi
assembly constituency at the General election held in rtarch,
1985 on the ground of commission of corrupt practices.
At the time of presentation of the petition, the
registry of the Court'noticed that section 81(3) of the Act
about filing of copies of the petition in as many number
as there aro respondents (11 in numbers) had not been
comolied with the only 7 copies, that too, without annexures
and schedules had been f i led . Also provisions of section 81 (2)
of the Act had also not been followed as schedules attached
to the petitions had not been varified. On the same day
the registry pointed out some more enfirmities in the copies
of the election petition. But the Hon'ble judge himself
scrutinised the election petition and its copies in the
presence of counsel for petitioner and found various
infirmities in the copies of petitions attached and
found that mandatory sections 81(3) and 82(2) of the
Act uere not followed and petition uas thus liable to
be dismi83Bd in limine. The Court observed, on the
contdV...,
- 37 -
basis of previous decisions i.e. Ch.Subbarao Vs. Members,
Election Tribunal & others (AIR 1964 SC 1027) that it uas
uithin the ambit of pouer of the Court to scrutinise the
petition for the purpose of finding out whether the
mandatory provisions of the Act had been complied uith,
and, in the case of non-compliance, to pass appropriate
orders under section 86(1) even at the earliest or, nascent
stage of the petition before preliminary objections are
raised by the respondent. The Court further observed
that in Satya Narain Us. Dhaje Ram & others (AIR 1973
P&H 431) it uas held that no such defect could be permitted
to be rectified at any time after the filing of the petition
before the registry of the Court, even uithin the period
of the limitation.
In vieu of these findings, the High Court
dismissed the petition in limina vide its order dated
24th May, 1985 uith no order as to costs.

IN THE SUPREME COURT CF INDIA
CIVIL APPEAL NO. 2 9 2 2 o f 1981
Dr. P.Kalla Thampy Thara • * . Appellant
- Versus -
B.L.Shanker i Others v . . Respondents
Through election petition No. 76 of 1978 before
the Karnataka High Court, ana of tha defeated candidates
called in question the election of Smt. Indira Gandhi
to Lok Sabha from 20-Chickmanglur parliamentary
constituency(Karnataka) in the bye-slaction held in
1973. There uere 28 candidates all of uhom alonguith 3
others, were impleadad as respondents. In addition to
elected candidate uho was re3pondant No.2 in tha original
election petition, respondents 2 & 3 uera also alleged to
have resorted to corrupt practices. Respondent No. 29
in the election petition filed on 26.3.79 a racrinination
petition within the meaning of SQction 97 of the Act
against respondent No. 5, uhom the eledtion petitioner
wanted to be declared as elected candidate. Respondent
No. 19, uho is appellant in this appeal, also filed his
written statement. The election petiticnsr uho is
respondent No.' 1 in this appeal, applied to tha Court
for deleting tha prayer that Shri l/irendra Patil be
declared as duly olscted. The Court allowed the
prayer on 23.11.79 and a memorandum was filed for
Contd.....
- 40 -
delation of respondents 3 to 31. Simultaneously* the names
of respondents 3 & 4 uara also deleted from the petition.
Respondent 29, later on, filod another memorandum for
uithdraual of tha recrimination petition uhich the Court
alloued on 3C.9.8C and uhich tha present appellant had
objsctsd, 0 n 12th September 1980, the High Court directed
that names of respondents 5 to 31, excepting raspondants
13 and 19, would stand dropped. Thus, in all 3 respondents
i.e. No* 1, 13 and 19 were left in the election petition.
Tha High Court also alloued tha withdrawal of recrimination
petition.'
ThQ High Court procssded uith the trial of tha
petition.' After one adjournment was granted by tha High
Court, tha petitioner sought another adjournment uhich
the Court declined keeping in vieu the Section 86(7) of
tha Act uhich provides for disposal of election petition,
as far as practicable, uithin 6 months of ths presentation
of an election petition. It dismissed the election
petition for non-prosecuticn vide its order dated
9,3.1981v
On tha same day, respondent Mo. 19 in the
election petition made an application for racall of the
order and sought permission to prosecute tha petition
and to submit his evidence. He also, prayad that he may
ba permitted to be substitutad as a petitioner. Later
on, he amended his application and asked for restoration
of the petition in original form. Respondent Wo. lf the
election petition objected to this contending that
respondent No. 19 had no locus standi to ask for
Contd...
• 41 -
restoration of the original election petition. According
to him, there uas no provision for transposition of
election petition after an election petition uas dismissed.
Tha High Court vie1 a its order dated 23.5.1981, rejected
the application after negativing ths stand of the
respondent Mo. 19 that an election petition could rot
be dismissed for default and that a case of abandonnent
should be treated at par with tha abatement and
withdrawal of the petition. Aggrieved by this order,
the respondent No* 19 moved the Supreme Court.
The appellant contended that: -
(a) The earlier orders passed by ths High Court
i.e. for dsletion of prayer uhich uas concerned with the
declaration of respondent No. 5, Shri Virendra Patil
as duly elected, or by uhich respondent No. 29
uas alloued to uithdrau recrimination patiticn, uara
in the nature of partial uithdraual of the petition
and the statutory provision for uithdraual having not
been followed, the orders uere in fact a nullity.
Therefore, the High Court should be called upon to
conply uith the statutory provisions relating to
uithdraual of election petition before such permission
uas granted.
(b) The election petition once filed, is not
one bstuoen tuo sets of parties but it is a dispute
concerning the entire constituency and cannot comeof it
to an end merely by ths uithdraual/by the p
or on his death or that of the respondent but is liable
- 42 -
to be continued by any person uho could under th9 law,
be a petitioner. Hence* the High Court should have given
him an opportunity to continue the election petition.
(c) The view takan by the Supreme Court in some
cases that except in case3 of withdrawal and abatement*
the special provisions contained in the Act for notifying
to the constituency so that any person may apply for
being alloued to continue the election petition,are not
applicable.
Apart from these the Court had also to consider
whether the appellant* not being the election petitioner,
could ask for restoration of election petition within
the ambit of order IX, Rule 9 of the Code of Civil
Procedures.
As regards the contention above, the Court
observed that omission of a prayer did not come uithin
the ambit of section 109 of the Act and even after
omission of a particular relief the election petition
survives and once as prayer uas dropped, relief of
recrimination could stand no more. The Court also took
note that at that time the appellant had not raised
any objection. Also in the absence of other respondents
as parties in the present appeal, ha could not be
allouad to agitate the orders as it would be contrary to
Ccntd...
- 43 -
norms °f natural justice. Also, tha appeal.uas directed
against 3une 23, 1931 order and.not against earlier order.
Tha appellant uas precluded from challenging earlier orders.
The contention at (a) uas rejected.
The Court found no weight in tha contention of
the appellant that an election petition cojld not be
dismissed for default. The appellant contended that
default or non-prosecution must be treated on par uith
the uithdraual or abatement and, therefore, though there
is no clear provision in Act, the same principle should
govern and the obligation to notify as provided in section
110 or 115 of the Act should be made applicable. The
Court observered that withdrawal is a positive and
voluntary act while non-prosecution is a negative one,
springing from negligence, inaction or even incapacity
to prosecute. In fact, the terms of section 87 of the
Act clearly prescribe that if there be no provision in
the Act to the contrary, the provisions of tha code
would apply and that would include order 9, Rule 6 of
the Code, under which an election petition would be
liable to be dismissed if the election petitioner doaa>
not appear tc prosecute the election petition. The same
view uas hald in Jugul Kishore Vs. Dr. Baldev Prakash
(AIR 1958 Punjab & Haryana 152 at 158-59), Quryodhan Vs.'
Sitaram & Ors (AIR 1970 Ail, 1) and Rajondra Kumari Bajpai
Vs. Ram Adhar Yadav and Ors. (1976 1 SCR 255 at 260).*
Contd.....
- 44 -
Under order IX Rule 9 of the Coda, an application
for restoration can be made only by the petitioner and not
by any respondent or elector of constituency.
Before parting with ths case the Supreme Court
recalled its observation in Dhocm Singh Us. Prakash
Chandra Sethi & Ors (1975 3 SCR 595-599) wherein it said -
"The Legislature in its wisdom has chosen tomake special provisions for the continuanceof the election petition only in case of itswithdrawal or abatement* It has yet netthought it fit to make any provision in Actpermitting intervention of an elector of theconstituency in all contingencies of failuresof the election petition either due to thecollusion or fraud of the original electionpetitioner or otherwise. It is not nacessaryfor this Court to express any opinion as towhether the omission to do so is deliberateor inadvertent. It may be a case of casus.omissus. It is a well known rule of constru-ction of statues that "A statue, sven morethan a contract, must be construed, u_t rasmagis Valaat Quam pareat, so that theintentions of the legislaturs may not betreated as vain or loft to operate in theair". A second consequence of this rule isthat "a statute may not be extended to meeta case for which provision h3S clearly andundoubtedly not basn made" see Craias onStatute Law).
It seems plain that the High Court isenjoined to dismiss an election petitionwhich doas not comply with the provisionsof section 81 or section 32 or section 117of tha Act. In the true cases of non-compliance with the said provision of lawa question of intervention by another psrsonmay not arise. Sut thsrB may ba a casa, astha instant onQ was alleged to ba (we araexpressing no opinion of ours in this regardeven by any implication whether this was soor not), wh=ra as a result of the fraud orcollusion batuesn ths election petitions!and the returned candidate the High Court is
Contd...
- 45 -
fraudulently misled to act under section 86(1).Even in much a situation ue find no provisionin the Act under uhich the High Court couldpermit a person lika the appellant to intervenein the natter or to substantiate hi3 allegationsof fraud or collusion between tha electionpetitioner and the returned candidate. It isdifficult to press into service the gsneralprinciples of lau governing an electionpetition as was sought to bs dcna on behalfof the appellant for his intervention in thematter. If there be any necessity of avoidingany such situation as the present one uassaid to be it is for tha legislature to interveneand make clear and express provision of lau forthe purpose".
The Supreme Court also observed that the legislature
should take notice of the decisions of tha Court
and amends the Act to undo any lacuna.
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal vide its
order dated 28.10.1983.

ALL KING BIRENDRA'S
MEN****
Dilemma For The Nepali Congress*By PARMANAND
p and fair elections at••• regular intervals are a sinequa non for any democraticpolitical system. If the electo-ral rules contrive to exclude avast majority under one pretextor another, the systems effect-iveness and representationalcharacter are usually doubted.The second general elections forthe Rashtriya Panchayat—theunicameral legislature—in theHimalayan kingdom of Nepalface many embarrassing ques-tions regarding participation. Sodo several of the prime actorsin the Nepalese political drama.
The notification issued by theElection Commission on Janu-ary 23 announced that electionswould be held simultaneouslyall over the kingdom on May12 this year. Earlier, the Com-mission had announced that ithad completed the task of pre-paring voters' lists. According toit, 8,974,199 voters will com-plete 21 years of age by mid-March which means that thetotal number of voters has in.creased by about 15 per centsince the first general electionsunder the Panchayat system in1S81. The notification adds thatarrangements have been madefor publicity and communication.material to "ensure "free, fair and.peaceful polling".
INDIRECTLYIt would be in order here to
mention that between Decem-ber 1962 (.when the la'.c KingMahendra promulgated the Pan-
! chayat system) and May 1931uvhen the first general electionsunder it were held on the basisof the Third ConstitutionalAmendment ejected in Decem-ber 1980 by his son. King Bir-endra), elections to all tiers ofthe Pane-hay.;*, polity were heldindirectly. Members of the Rash-triya Panchayat were elected
. by members of the Anchal(zonal > Panchayats.
' After direc; elections to the' Rafhtriya Panchayat were intro-
duced, Nepal's districts came tobe treated as constituencies. Ofthe 75 districts in the kingdom,37 are double-member and therest are single-member consti-tuencies. But even a casual ob-
, server can see that the remote1 hill district of Mansng with
only 10,000 people sends a re-presentative, while the Teraldistricts of Dhanusha and Sap-tari. with more than three lakhsin each, send only two members.This puts the Terai populationat a serious disadvantage in re-lation to the hill people, prompt-ing questions about the repre-sentational character of Nepal'sDolmcal system.

Another' point worm mention-ing is that only 112 out of thetotal of 140 seats are elective;28 members being nominated bythe King. The nominated ele-ment has steadily increased eversince 1932, though always thr-ough constitutional amendments—an exclusive prerogative ofthe throne.
All Nepalese citizens whosenames figure in the voters' listare entitled to vote, the mini-mum voting age being 21. Butin order to contest a seat in thelegislature one must be at least25. More sign Sicantly, a candidatemust be a member of one o£Ihe kingdom's six class organi-zations—the Mahila, Kisan,Yuvak. Proudh (elders), Mazdoorand Bhutpurva Sainik (ex-ser-vicemen) Sangathans—as stipu-lated in Article 67A of the Con-stitution. It is no less relevantthat while recognizing the exist-ence of class organizations, theConstitution does not take cog.nizance of political partieswhich are still outlawed.
j _ But for a few exceptions otj rigging and manipulation mostI of kingdom's elections havej been as fair as they could have
been in the Nepalese context.However, the ij.'mber of peopleparticipating remains a matter
! of speculation The laraest and'; most popular political party in; the kingdom—the Nepali Con-
gress—has boycotted electionssince 1962. though some o'" its
members have, admittedly, de-fected to the Panehayat systemand successfully become mem-bers of the legislature and evenof the Ministry. The importanceof the Nepali Congress in thekingdom's pjutics increased vast-iy when a large number of polit-ical leaders and workers fromo:her parties joined it to wagea struggle lor the restorationof parliamentary democracywhich was abolished on Decem-ber 15, 19S0. The Nepali Con-gress has become a movementsince then, notwithstanding itsmany internal weaknesses andothT contradictions.
If ihe Nepali Congress decid-es to boycott the May elections,it will complete 23 years of thepolitics of boycott. But the partyhas reached a crossroads. If itagain opts for a boycott, it willhave to continue the politics ofboycott and satyagraha for thenext five years which is boundto weaken its position. Many ofits workers and leaders are los-ing patience and might decideto jump into the fray regardless
; of the formal decision, which, inturn, will erode the party's ere.dibility and strength.
Sliould the Nepali Congressagree to participate in the pollsit might find its plight evenmore embarrassing for it wouldhave to justify its volte-face.It would also have to explainwhy it boycotted elections heldunder- the same dispensation allthese years. There is no guaran.tee either that having taken theplunge it will be able to see asufficient number of its mem-bers and supporters elected tothe Rashtriya Panehayat and in
W HILE Nepal's partyless polity is becom-
ing stronger, and themonarchy projecting itselfas an enlightened institu-tion bent on winning pub-lic approval, the kingdom'sbiggest and most popularpolitical party faces anembarrassing choice, ac-cording to Parmanand whoteaches in Delhi Univer-sity's Department of Polit-ical Science and writes onthe Nepali Congress DrParmanand says that if the .party boycotts the secondgeneral elections schedul-ed for May 12 it will coil-demn itself to the wilder-ness for another five years,if, on the other hand, theNepali Congress takes parttn the exercise it will beseen to have abandoneda principle it has upheldfor 23 years without neces-sarily gaining anything inreturn.

The question of gubernatorial propriety raised by the BJPin its memorandum should not be lost in Ihe heat generated byparty rivalry and partisan politics. More than the Opposition,the Congress! should be concerned about the problem becauseas the party in power at Ihe Centre, il is in a position to checkthe devaluation of the august office. Il is a pity that if one RamLa! goes, two emerge, ready to violate propriety and constitu-tional norms Rajasthan Governor Vasantrao Paul, whateverhis political hold in his home Slate, had no business to takeundue interest in the election of Nilangekar's successor. Il iswell known that he is no friend of the new Chief Minister S. B.Chavan. and was keen to prevent him from being elected. Patilmight have succeeded had he not been restrained by the partyHigh Command. None questions his political strength or capac-ity to influence Maharashtra politics but his lobbying for oragainst anyone in the party was a gross violation of his role ashead of State. The problem is that some governors deliberatelyforget the oath they had taken at the time of their swearing-inand have no qualms about reducing themselves to politicalanimals. The Governor loses his prestige, if not credentials,when he assumes a partisan role.
Maharashtra Governor Kona Prabhakar Rao's involve-ment in the "marks scandal" was more serious an offence than |Paul's temporary dabbling in active politics. Although Prabha- •kar Rao's role as Chancellor came in for criticism, the fact that ,he is. Governor as well as Chancellor cannot be overlooked. ^After the adverse publicity he got on account of the "marks *scandal" the right course for him would have been to resign but •who cares to follow high moral standards nowadays? Another • 4Governor who has not covered himself with glory is S.M.H. i-Burney wh , as Chancellor of the MD University, Rohtak. Isuspended its Vice-Chancellor, Dr Ram Gopal. under ques- g'tionable circumstances. This acain is an instance of the action of ^the Chancellor and not of the Governor being questioned but as %long as one person plays the dual role, his sins of omission and jcommission are bound to tarnish the gubernatorial office. / %'

'Conservatives win
By K. N. MALIKThe Times of India News Strrice
PARIS, March 17.
A N alliance of centre-rightparlies has secured an overall
majority in the French parliament.The majority, however, is muchsmaller than expected by politicalpundits and pollsters an outcomewhich has left France to face politi-cal uncertainties.
With two more results lo be de-clared, the alliance of centre-rightparties, the Rally for Republic(RPR) led by a former prime minis-ter of France and now mayor ofParis, Mr Jacques Chirac, and theUnion for French Democracy(UDF) led by a former French presi-dent, Mr Valery Giscard d'Estaing.and their supporters secured 291seats in the 577-member parliament— a majority of just seven.TheSocialists remained the largest singleparty wilh 216 seats, which is muchmore than the poll-sters predicted.
A major surprise which the Frenchsprung in the privacy of their ballotbooths was 34 seats for the extremeright-wing National Front led byMarie Le Pen, who fought the elec-tions mainly on the issues of immi-
gration and law and order. Theparty benefited by the desertion ofsome right wing voters from themain centre-right parties to the Na-tional Front.
IMMIGRATION CONTROL:the centrists parties have said theywould not take the National Frontmembers in the government. Butthey may not be averse to makingadjustments in programmes such as'tightening up of immigration con-trols and increased emphasis on lawand order, especially in the southernregions of France such asMarseilles, where immigrantspredominate.
Le Pen had campaigned on theslogan that if you do not checkimmigration, immigrants wouldenter your houses, eat your soup andsleep with your wives! The issue ofFrench hostages in Lebanon and thegovernment as well as the right wingparties which initiated the West-Asian policies during their 25-yearuninterrupted rule also helped LePen to secure more seats than wasexpeaed. It is first time that the NFhas entered parliament.The Communist Party fared the
worst since World War II with its

electoral support dropping to justabout 10 per cent, a 50 per centslump in its fortunes since the 1978elections. In the last elections in1981, the Communists got 15 percent of the votes and were includedin the Socialist government. Theyquit the government in 1983becuase of the Socialist govern-ment's reversal of economic poli-cies.
The Socialists cannot form a gov-ernment even with the support of 34members of parliament belonging tothe Communist Party. But lhe nar-row majority for the right wingalliance, which is plagued by seriousdifferences among their factionalleaders, left President Francois Mit-terrand in a strong position to nego-tiate the formation of a new govern-ment The president, whose termlasts till 1988 and who under theFifth Republic constitution enjoysvast executive powers, especially inthe field of foreign policy and de-fence, may bypass the main twoleaders of the centre-right partiesand ask a more moderate right wingpolitician such as Mr Chaban-Delmas. who will not try !odrastically reverse, the Socialist poli-

cies, to form a government.MITTERRAND'S OPTIONS: Mr
Mitterrand can take advantage ofdifferences among the right wingleaders and their desire to outdo thepresident in the presidential elec-tions in 198S. Till now bo'.h MrChirac and Mr d'Esuing are lowerin poll ratings for the next presiden-tial election than another right-wingformer prime minister, Mr Ray-mond Barre. But Mr Chirac and Mrd'Estaing. if called upon to be primeminister, might like to play alongwith Mr Mitterrand till they feel thatit becomes expedient to have con-frontation with the Socialist presi-dent
Mr Parre has said he would notjoin the centre-right government asit was not possible for the rightistparliament majority to work with aSocialist president. Mr Barre, how-ever, said today that he would notdo anything to disturb the activitiesof any new majority that agrees togovern. L'ptill now Mr Chirac, asthe leader of the RPR, which has thelargest number of members in thenew parliament within the right-wing alliance, hopes to be invited toform the government.
