The Election Commission has issued notices to six political parties in Uttarakhand, asking them to submit a response within 15 days. The action comes amid scrutiny of regional political parties regarding compliance with regulatory and legal norms. If they fail to respond within the stipulated time, further action could be taken, including possible derecognition.
List of Political Parties That Received Notices:
- Bhartiya Jankranti Party – 12/17 Chakrata Road, Chakkuwala, Dehradun
- Hamari Janmanch Party – 1/12 New Chakkuwala, Dehradun
- Maidani Kranti Dal – Masjid Wali Gali, Majra, Dehradun
- Praja Mandal Party – Barthwal Nivas, Sheetla Mata Mandir Road, Lower Bhaktiana, Srinagar, Pauri Garhwal
- Rashtriya Gram Vikas Party – 62 Civil Lines, Roorkee, Haridwar
- Rashtriya Jan Sahay Dal – 112-New Connaught Place, Dehradun
The Election Commission has not disclosed the specific reasons for the notices but such actions are generally related to non-submission of audited financial reports, non-compliance with election laws, or failure to maintain proper office addresses and organizational transparency.
This step reflects the commission’s ongoing efforts to ensure accountability and adherence to democratic processes by all registered political parties in the country.
