The campaign for this round of assembly elections officially began on October 15, when the Election Commission of India announced polls in Maharashtra and Jharkhand. But in India’s tribal heartland, the campaign began far earlier — on June 28, when former chief minister Hemant Soren was released from jail after being imprisoned for five months over corruption charges. The 49-year-old was already buoyed by the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance’s (INDIA) performance in the Lok Sabha polls — the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) won three seats and its ally, the Congress, won two, up from one and one in 2019 — and he set out to craft a campaign premised on his persona, pushing his wife Kalpana Soren into a prominent spot, and playing up his family’s links to the state’s formation. Soren’s successful campaign rested on three prongs. One, emerge as the undisputed leader of the tribals. Soren had already embarked on this project in 2019 when he crafted the first pre-poll pact in the JMM’s history. He now linked his controversial jail term to the question of tribal asmita (pride). In every election speech, he reminded ordinary people how the Bharatiya Janata Party had detained a tribal son and conspired against the adivasis. Whenever possible, he brought up controversies around the Chhota Nagpur land-tenancy act and the implementation of a domicile policy based on land records from 1932 — two issues that had kicked up a huge political storm during the last BJP government in the state between 2014 and 2019, and were responsible for the defeat of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in 2019. Soren’s lieutenants also reminded people how the BJP nominated a non-tribal person (Raghubar Das) as chief minister, a first for a state whose formation was catalysed by a long and bloody adivasi movement. Though he didn’t campaign due to ill health, the figure of Soren’s father and JMM founder Shibu Soren was used strategically to fan his emotive connection with a generation of people who had seen the senior adivasi leader emerge as a flag-bearer of a separate state for tribespeople in the 1970s. This approach also helped the JMM control the more polarising aspects of senior Soren’s legacy and build a more inclusive campaign. Of course, it is unlikely that Soren would have emerged as a pan-state leader had it not been for his jail stint. In rally after rally, he played up his imprisonment, called it unjust, and attacked the BJP for having imprisoned a son of the soil. He alleged that he was locked up because he was serving poor tribespeople and was standing against big business interests, and promised the electorate an expansion in reservations if he was voted back to power. This was the second prong of his strategy, one that also hinged on pushing his wife, Kalpana Soren, into prominence. This was a risky strategy at first — after all, her rising prominence at the time of his arrest had led to rumblings in the party and it was also among the issues responsible for the exit of senior leader Champai Soren months before the elections (he joined the BJP). But together, the Soren couple put the chief minister’s persona and his jail stint the emotive core of their campaign. This helped Soren emerge as the biggest leader, not only of his own tribal group, the Santhals — the biggest scheduled tribe (ST) in the state, comprising roughly a third of the province’s adivasi population — but also blank out other competing tribal leaders from the BJP among groups such as Oraon, Munda and Ho. In a field crowded with other former chief ministers, it helped one stand out. The JMM and its allies ended up winning 27 out of 28 seats reserved for Scheduled Tribes. And three, the JMM was buoyed by the response among rural women to its Mukhyamantri Maiya Samman Yojana, which gave ₹ 1,000 to poor women. By making the cash transfer scheme the centrepiece of its welfare outreach, the JMM was able to build a new catchment of voters in every constituency whose identities lay beyond the traditional buckets of community or region. It helped arrest the development narrative that the BJP has successfully used elsewhere, and blunt allegations of corruption — especially in those 68 seats where more women voted than men. The culmination of this strategy was a victory unprecedented in scale in Jharkhand, helping JMM retain power for the first time in its existence. The ease of the win, though, hid just how bruising the campaign trail had been these last few months. As Soren told HT in an interview, no other elections were as tough.

WASHINGTON (AP) — As a former and potentially future president, Donald Trump hailed what would become Project 2025 as a road map for “exactly what our movement will do” with another crack at the White House. As the blueprint for a hard-right turn in America became a liability during the 2024 campaign, Trump pulled an about-face. He denied knowing anything about the “ridiculous and abysmal” plans written in part by his first-term aides and allies. Now, after being elected the 47th president on Nov. 5, Trump is stocking his second administration with key players in the detailed effort he temporarily shunned. Most notably, Trump has tapped Russell Vought for an encore as director of the Office of Management and Budget; Tom Homan, his former immigration chief, as “border czar;” and immigration hardliner Stephen Miller as deputy chief of policy. Those moves have accelerated criticisms from Democrats who warn that Trump’s election hands government reins to movement conservatives who spent years envisioning how to concentrate power in the West Wing and impose a starkly rightward shift across the U.S. government and society. Trump and his aides maintain that he won a mandate to overhaul Washington. But they maintain the specifics are his alone. “President Trump never had anything to do with Project 2025,” said Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt in a statement. “All of President Trumps’ Cabinet nominees and appointments are whole-heartedly committed to President Trump’s agenda, not the agenda of outside groups.” Here is a look at what some of Trump’s choices portend for his second presidency. As budget chief, Vought envisions a sweeping, powerful perch The Office of Management and Budget director, a role Vought held under Trump previously and requires Senate confirmation, prepares a president’s proposed budget and is generally responsible for implementing the administration’s agenda across agencies. The job is influential but Vought made clear as author of a Project 2025 chapter on presidential authority that he wants the post to wield more direct power. “The Director must view his job as the best, most comprehensive approximation of the President’s mind,” Vought wrote. The OMB, he wrote, “is a President’s air-traffic control system” and should be “involved in all aspects of the White House policy process,” becoming “powerful enough to override implementing agencies’ bureaucracies.” Trump did not go into such details when naming Vought but implicitly endorsed aggressive action. Vought, the president-elect said, “knows exactly how to dismantle the Deep State” — Trump’s catch-all for federal bureaucracy — and would help “restore fiscal sanity.” In June, speaking on former Trump aide Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast, Vought relished the potential tension: “We’re not going to save our country without a little confrontation.” Vought could help Musk and Trump remake government’s role and scope The strategy of further concentrating federal authority in the presidency permeates Project 2025’s and Trump’s campaign proposals. Vought’s vision is especially striking when paired with Trump’s proposals to dramatically expand the president’s control over federal workers and government purse strings — ideas intertwined with the president-elect tapping mega-billionaire Elon Musk and venture capitalist Vivek Ramaswamy to lead a “Department of Government Efficiency.” Trump in his first term sought to remake the federal civil service by reclassifying tens of thousands of federal civil service workers — who have job protection through changes in administration — as political appointees, making them easier to fire and replace with loyalists. Currently, only about 4,000 of the federal government’s roughly 2 million workers are political appointees. President Joe Biden rescinded Trump’s changes. Trump can now reinstate them. Meanwhile, Musk’s and Ramaswamy’s sweeping “efficiency” mandates from Trump could turn on an old, defunct constitutional theory that the president — not Congress — is the real gatekeeper of federal spending. In his “Agenda 47,” Trump endorsed so-called “impoundment,” which holds that when lawmakers pass appropriations bills, they simply set a spending ceiling, but not a floor. The president, the theory holds, can simply decide not to spend money on anything he deems unnecessary. Vought did not venture into impoundment in his Project 2025 chapter. But, he wrote, “The President should use every possible tool to propose and impose fiscal discipline on the federal government. Anything short of that would constitute abject failure.” Trump’s choice immediately sparked backlash. “Russ Vought is a far-right ideologue who has tried to break the law to give President Trump unilateral authority he does not possess to override the spending decisions of Congress (and) who has and will again fight to give Trump the ability to summarily fire tens of thousands of civil servants,” said Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, a Democrat and outgoing Senate Appropriations chairwoman. Reps. Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico, leading Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, said Vought wants to “dismantle the expert federal workforce” to the detriment of Americans who depend on everything from veterans’ health care to Social Security benefits. “Pain itself is the agenda,” they said. Homan and Miller reflect Trump’s and Project 2025’s immigration overl ap Trump’s protests about Project 2025 always glossed over overlaps in the two agendas. Both want to reimpose Trump-era immigration limits. Project 2025 includes a litany of detailed proposals for various U.S. immigration statutes, executive branch rules and agreements with other countries — reducing the number of refugees, work visa recipients and asylum seekers, for example. Miller is one of Trump’s longest-serving advisers and architect of his immigration ideas, including his promise of the largest deportation force in U.S. history. As deputy policy chief, which is not subject to Senate confirmation, Miller would remain in Trump’s West Wing inner circle. “America is for Americans and Americans only,” Miller said at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Oct. 27. “America First Legal,” Miller’s organization founded as an ideological counter to the American Civil Liberties Union, was listed as an advisory group to Project 2025 until Miller asked that the name be removed because of negative attention. Homan, a Project 2025 named contributor, was an acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director during Trump’s first presidency, playing a key role in what became known as Trump’s “family separation policy.” Previewing Trump 2.0 earlier this year, Homan said: “No one’s off the table. If you’re here illegally, you better be looking over your shoulder.” Project 2025 contributors slated for CIA and Federal Communications chiefs John Ratcliffe, Trump’s pick to lead the CIA, was previously one of Trump’s directors of national intelligence. He is a Project 2025 contributor. The document’s chapter on U.S. intelligence was written by Dustin Carmack, Ratcliffe’s chief of staff in the first Trump administration. Reflecting Ratcliffe’s and Trump’s approach, Carmack declared the intelligence establishment too cautious. Ratcliffe, like the chapter attributed to Carmack, is hawkish toward China. Throughout the Project 2025 document, Beijing is framed as a U.S. adversary that cannot be trusted. Brendan Carr, the senior Republican on the Federal Communications Commission, wrote Project 2025’s FCC chapter and is now Trump’s pick to chair the panel. Carr wrote that the FCC chairman “is empowered with significant authority that is not shared” with other FCC members. He called for the FCC to address “threats to individual liberty posed by corporations that are abusing dominant positions in the market,” specifically “Big Tech and its attempts to drive diverse political viewpoints from the digital town square.” He called for more stringent transparency rules for social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube and “empower consumers to choose their own content filters and fact checkers, if any.” Carr and Ratcliffe would require Senate confirmation for their posts. ___ Advertisement Advertisement

New Delhi: After facing a debacle in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls in Uttar Pradesh, the BJP-led NDA secured a decisive 7-2 victory in the assembly bypolls, showing clear signs of its fast return to the recovery path in the politically crucial state. Assembly Election Results Live Updates Maharashtra Election Results Jharkhand Election Results Bypoll Election Results While the bypoll results will also strengthen chief minister Yogi Adityanath 's stature within the BJP, they reflect the failure of Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav to maintain the momentum his party gained in the Lok Sabha polls six months ago. The SP could retain only two seats - Karhal (Mainpuri) and Sisamau (Kanpur) - while the BJP registered its victory in the six: Khair, Ghaziabad, Majhawa, Phulpur, Katehari and Kundarki. NDA constituent Rashtriya Lok Dal won in Meerapur. BJP's victory is surprising in Moradabad's Kundarki, a constituency where more than 65% of the voters are Muslims. The party won the seat after more than three decades. BJP's Ramveer Singh, the only Hindu among the 12 candidates, won by a massive margin of more than 1,63,000 votes over his nearest rival Mohammad Rizwan of the SP. The BJP snatched Katehari from the SP, which lost the seat for the first time since 2012. This seat was vacated after Lalji Verma was elected to the Lok Sabha from the Ambedkarnagar seat. BJP's Dharamraj Nishad defeated SP's Shobhawati Verma.
