elections starting from 1951, turnout went past 60% only on seven occasions, of which the 65% mark was crossed only in 2014 and 2019. For all the attention to 'declining' turnout, the first four phases of the ongoing polls have registered a score of 66.95%. In absolute numbers, 451 mn people have voted so far. Postal ballots will add up on counting day. If this rate is maintained in the remaining three phases after today, 2024 could become only the third general election to get past 65%. Globally speaking, this turnout level measures in the top half of countries having democratic elections. Phase 1 turnout has been 66.14%, which moved to 66.71% in phase 2 and 65.68% in phase 3. In the fourth phase, it nudged past the 2019 count with 69.2%, also indicating an incremental rise phase after phase. Everyone who has interest in the game appears to have pushed the envelope a bit after the initial phases.

Patanjali found itself under the scanner of regulatory bodies and Supreme Court in the context of dodgy advertising practices. Welcome as this development was, the ayurvedic major is hardly alone in stretching the truth when it comes to advertising. While regulatory authorities must ensure that advertising adheres to ethical standards and doesn't mislead consumers, such scrutiny should be applied across the board. Every label coming out from FMCG, nutraceutical, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and wellness sectors must be properly checked by regulators. In this context, Supreme Court rightly pulled up the Indian Medical Association (IMA) last week for not taking action against Patanjali on complaints for the company's alleged 'misleading' claims and 'disparaging' ads against the allopathic system of medicine. Regulatory bodies should ensure that consumer goods are not allowed to introduce or sell their products in the market where the consumer assumes that products match what they are sold as — and, more importantly, that they are not sold as what they are not, especially by making disparaging comparisons.

BJP threw its support behind Chirag, aligning with his Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), which was allocated five seats for Lok Sabha elections as part of a seat-sharing agreement. In contrast, the rival faction of the LJP led by his uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras, who was a Union minister at the time, was not allotted any seats. Now that Chirag has filed his nomination for Hajipur, the onus is on him to prove he enjoys the support of the Dalit community and is the “real” political heir to his father Ram Vilas Paswan, who represented this Lok Sabha seat eight times in the past. This marks Chirag's first Lok Sabha election without the presence of his father, who passed away in October 2020, leaving him without his guidance. With his uncle Pashupati Paras and his faction of the party refraining from supporting Chirag, the 42-year-old is facing the most challenging electoral battle of his ten-year political career. Previously elected from Jamui, a constituency reserved for Scheduled Castes, in both 2014 and 2019, Chirag has now shifted his focus to Hajipur for the upcoming election on May 20. This move is an attempt to assert his claim to his father's political legacy, which remains a point of contention between him and his uncle.
