Prime Minister Narendra Modi filed nomination forms from Varanasi Lok Sabha seat on Tuesday. PM Modi mentioned the names of four proposers i.e. movers in the form. These include the names of Vaidyanath Patel, Ganeshwar Shastri Dwid, Sanjay Sonkar and Lalchand Kushwaha. It is noteworthy that BJP has made several strategies simultaneously in deciding the proposer of PM Modi. While deciding the names of proponents (promoters), caste equation and regional balance have also been kept in mind.
A proposer is required to fill the candidate form of any party. There is a rule of the Election Commission to decide the name of the proposer. Which has to be believed. Know who the proponents are, what is their work. How many proposers can there be and what is their role in the election?
It is mandatory to have a proposer in the nomination paper of any party's candidate. Proposer means supporter, there are rules of the Election Commission regarding the naming of the promoter, which have to be followed. Know, who is a proposer, what is their job, how many proposers can there be and what is their role in the election?
Who are the supporters?
Supreme Court lawyer Ashish Pandey says that the proposer is selected from among the people of the Lok Sabha seat from where elections are to be held. Their number may be more or less, but the first condition for becoming a proposer is that it is mandatory for them to be local residents of that place. His name should be included in the voter list there.
Now let us understand where the role of the proposer starts. The proposer says that this is our candidate and this candidate will contest from this seat. They propose the name of the candidate before the Returning Officer, hence they are called proposers. He may be a resident outside that city or state.
How many proposers are required for which party's candidate?
The number of proposers required for a candidate depends on party status. The rule also says that if there is a recognized political party then the number of people nominating its candidate should be at least one. The number of proponents here could be even more. Till Tuesday, the number of proposers for PM Modi's candidature was four. At the same time, there should be at least 10 proposers for candidates from unrecognized and independent parties. This number may be more than this, but should not be less.
Does the proposer (proposer) refuse the candidature?
Every proposer has to provide a lot of information about himself. For example, if the information related to the proposer is found to be incorrect on scrutiny, if his name is not found in the local voting list, the candidate's form may be cancelled. Therefore this knowledge is very important.
What is its role in elections?
The proposer or proposer does not have any special role in the election. But it is expected that they will vote for their own candidates. Because, the proposer himself had proposed his name. Because there is no way to cross check it. The rule also says that the proposer may be illiterate and may accept by giving a thumbs-up. If any candidate is contesting from that seat then his proposal can also be made. There is no problem in this.
