Nagaland Witnesses Zero Voter Turnout in Six Districts Amidst Calls for Separate Statehood

1. Historic Voter Abstention in Nagaland Amidst Separate Statehood Demand.
2. ENPO-Led Protest: Zero Voter Turnout Reflects Deep-seated Grievances.
3. Nagaland Elections: Residents Demand Frontier Nagaland, Opt for Voter Abstention.

Kohima, April 20: Six districts in Nagaland witnessed a historic moment during the recent Lok Sabha elections, with zero voter turnout as a display of protest.

Led by the Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation (ENPO), residents abstained from voting to demand a separate state called Frontier Nagaland, reflecting deep-rooted grievances of neglect and marginalization.

The ENPO, representing seven tribal bodies, has been advocating for a separate state since 2010.

The districts of Mon, Tuensang, Longleng, Kiphire, Shamatore, and Noklak, constituting the ENPO area, remained devoid of any voter participation, showcasing solidarity with the demand for separate statehood.

This abstention was declared amidst the backdrop of a perceived “public emergency” in these districts, highlighting the firm opposition to political campaigning for the Lok Sabha polls.

Despite holding 20 seats in the 60-member Nagaland Assembly, the ENPO asserts that their region has been overlooked in terms of development.

BJP Raises Objections Over Shah Rukh Khan Lookalike Campaigning for Congress Candidate in Solapur

1. BJP raises objections to Shah Rukh Khan-lookalike campaigning for Congress in Solapur.
2. BJP accuses Congress of orchestrating a ‘scam’ with the lookalike’s campaign.
3. Concerns raised over the use of such tactics in election campaigns.

Solapur, April 19: The BJP has raised objections to a video circulating on social media featuring a Shah Rukh Khan-lookalike campaigning for Congress candidate Praniti Shinde in Solapur.

The BJP labeled it as a ‘scam’ orchestrated by the Congress party, expressing concern over the use of such tactics during election campaigns. Shehzad Poonawala, the national spokesperson for BJP, took to social media to highlight the issue, tagging the Election Commission of India and Shah Rukh Khan himself.

Poonawala underscored the lengths to which political parties may go to deceive voters, citing instances of fake surveys, fabricated narratives, and now, the alleged use of a lookalike to garner support.

While some reports identified the individual in the video as Ibrahim Qadri, a well-known Shah Rukh Khan doppelganger, there was no official confirmation regarding the person’s identity. Qadri, who hails from Gujarat, gained fame for his striking resemblance to Shah Rukh Khan, particularly during the release of the movie “Raees.”

He has a significant following on social media and often makes appearances at events, mimicking SRK’s dialogues, signature poses, and dance moves.

In the viral video, the Shah Rukh Khan-lookalike, characterized by a distinctive ponytail, can be seen waving to the crowd from a vehicle adorned with Congress banners featuring images of Rahul Gandhi and Praniti Shinde, among others.

Praniti Shinde, the daughter of former Union Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde and the incumbent MLA of Solapur City Central, has been nominated by the Congress for the Lok Sabha elections.

Solapur, slated for elections in the third phase on May 7, witnessed Sushil Shinde’s defeat to BJP’s Jaisidhesvar Swami in 2019.

This time, the BJP has put forward Ram Satpute, also an MLA from Maharashtra, as their candidate against Praniti Shinde.

This incident follows a recent trend of manipulated videos surfacing on social media, such as the altered clip of Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh purportedly criticizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi over unemployment and price rise.

Nagaland CEO Sends Notice to ENPO President Amid Lok Sabha Election Shutdown

1. CEO acts against ENPO’s indefinite shutdown during Nagaland elections.
2. Shutdown sparks concerns over electoral process interference.
3. Shutdown effective from April 18 raises alarms ahead of Nagaland Lok Sabha polling.

Kohima, April 19: Amidst the Nagaland Lok Sabha elections, the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) has taken a decisive step against the Eastern Nagaland Peoples’ Organization (ENPO) for its indefinite total shutdown across Eastern Nagaland’s jurisdiction.

Effective from 6 p.m. on April 18, the shutdown raised alarm bells over its potential impact on the electoral process on the eve of polling for Nagaland’s lone Lok Sabha seat.

In response, the CEO’s office issued a stern show-cause notice to the ENPO president, citing Section 171C of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, questioning the legitimacy of such action. The CEO views the shutdown as a possible attempt to exert undue influence during a critical phase of the elections.

While the circular from the Eastern Nagaland Public Emergency Control Room (ENPECR) exempted certain groups from the bandh, including government officials on election duty, district administration, security forces, medical services, and essential public services, concerns persist regarding its potential to hinder voting rights in Eastern Nagaland.

It aims to ensure the unhindered exercise of voting rights for all residents in Eastern Nagaland during the Lok Sabha elections scheduled for April 19, 2024.

The president of ENPO is expected to address the concerns outlined in the notice promptly, acknowledging the potential interference in the electoral process.
