Importance of legislative assembly election:
·
The election of the legislative assembly checks the proper
implementation of the policies of the central and state governments at the
grassroots level.
·
The state assembly election promotes the regional Party to
grow and develop in the state by presenting their policies to the people of the state.
·
The state assembly election also gives a federal balance to
our three-tier system and also it gives an autonomous body to promote their
ideas at the state level.
·
The state elections show differently the reflection of public sentiments
like the public behaves very different for the same party at the state level and at the
central level.
·
The state elections act as the check and balance for the Union
government whether it is going in the right way or not.
·
The state elections also strengthen the democratic participation
of the public as well as candidates of the parties.
Importance of bypoll elections :

Since we have discussed the benefits/
importance of the bypolls and state assembly elections. Now it’s turn to discuss some of the issues
and their solutions regarding these elections......
·
There is a huge difference seen in the voter turnout of
urban and rural people. Rural people look more interested as compared to urban people.
This is
very bad for the country Like Bharat. The people must understand their responsibilities and that their one vote will make the nation strong.
·
Many times we have seen the malpractices done during the
elections.
These are
done generally in the area of poor people and in slum areas also. The money as
well as many other things are distributed to take the people of that region in
their favour.
The candidature of that candidate must be
suspended till death. /she also is banned from campaigning in the elections.
·
The Bharat is facing a very big problem also known as a so-called Hesocietal problem. During the election people of the same class or same
society make groups make a proper pledge to give vote for so-called candidates. They never try to understand
that other people can also be helpful.
·
Since Bharat has started digitising, social media
has very huge impact on the people of our nation. The sentiments of our
citizens are used by the social media handlers to enforce their fake thoughts
on people.
The
election commission must focus on the platform that platforms are spreading fake news
and it must try to ban them in the period of elections.
·
Recently the issue of electronic voting machines has emerged very fast.
The
election commission must ensure that the belief of the public in the EVM will
always be firm.
·
In our so-called democratic country, there is a huge impact of money as well as
muscle power. 40 percent of member of legislative assemblies have criminal
cases on them. And also out of 403 MLAs of Uttar Pradesh, 233 have at least one criminal case on them.
Many times the police seize the vehicle of a particular party which is full of
money.
The election commission
must try to stop these irregular activities and issue a rule to give them a hard and harsh punishment.
