Promise of freebies in polls a ‘serious issue’ says SC, issues notice to Centre, EC

The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Election Commission of India (ECI) and the centre over political parties’ pledge to offer freebies to attract voters ahead of this year’s upcoming parliamentary elections in five states. The Supreme Court said the promise of freebies was a “serious issue”.

Chief Justice of India NV Ramana said: “I wonder how this can be legally controlled. Can this be done during these elections? It has to be done in the next election. This is a serious issue. The freebie budget exceeds the regular budget. “

The Supreme Court said it had earlier asked the Electoral Commission to develop guidelines to prevent this, but the pollster had just held a meeting with political parties to seek their views.

The Supreme Court is hearing a petition asking the Election Commission of India (ECI) to seize election symbols or write off a party that promised or distributed “irrational freebies” from public funds ahead of elections.

The court said the matter would be heard again in four weeks.

The petition said such populist measures should be banned across the board to gain undue political benefits from voters as they violate the constitution and that ECI should take appropriate deterrent measures.

The petition was filed by advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay and sought guidance from the centre to make laws in this regard.

Recalling how Amrita Singh prevented Saif Ali Khan from endorsing his movie Pehla Nasha, Deepak Tijori “I was shocked by it.”

Recently, Deepak Tijori revealed some startling trivia about his 1990 film Pehla Nasha. He remembered when Saif was urged not to promote the film by Amrita Singh.

Tipppsy, the next film directed by Deepak Tijori, marks his return to directing. The actor-director is never afraid to speak openly about his colleagues. In a recent Zoom TV interview, Deepak remembered that Amrita Singh had previously advised Saif Ali Khan not to back Deepak’s movie Pehla Nasha.

In addition to starring in several films in the 1990s with Shah Rukh Khan, Rahul Roy, and Aamir Khan, Deepak also portrayed the lead in Pehla Nasha. The actor revealed that there was a scene in the Ashuotsh Gowariker-directed movie when Saif, Rahul Roy, Aamir Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan made cameo appearances.

According to Deepak Tijori, Amrita Singh prevented Saif Ali Khan from endorsing his movie.

When asked if Bollywood performers were friendly at parties but did not promote one other’s films, he responded, “Yeah, I guess I could probably tell you a personal experience.” I am referring about 1993 here. We were working on a movie named Pehla Nasha back in 1993. Surprisingly, there was a moment in the movie when everyone wants celebrities to attend a character’s debut. We had buddies, and the director was Ashutosh Gowariker. Therefore, I was taken aback when this particular occurrence occurred.”

According to Deepak, Amrita advised Saif not to back him.

He went on, “It seems that Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, and Aamir Khan were on their way.” Thus, Saif was reading, and this was similar to his interpretation of it when he got ready at home. Amrita Singh, his former spouse, questioned him, “What are you doing?” To what destination are you heading? “I’m heading to a premiere,” he declared. I’m heading out to shoot. I’m going to be involved with Deepak’s debut. “Really?” was her question. In what way is this possible? You know, we never did all these things. Who takes this action? similar to when you go and help someone on a premiere. That was a moment, then, and I was shocked by it. Evidently, something didn’t truly exist back then (days).
