Third
General Elections, 1962.- A major improvement in the matter of
elections in the State this time was in regard to the period of poll. While it took nearly 19 days to complete the
poll during the second general elections, the poll this time was held and
completed on a single day on February 24, 1962, throughout the State, except in
Kulu and Seraj Constituencies , where on account of the areas being snow-bound
and accessible the poll was deferred and held later towards and end of
April. Punjab was the only State which
had the distinction of having a single-day poll both for the Parliamentary and
Assembly elections.
In
1961, the Parliament decided to abolish the double-member constituencies for
the Legislative Assemblies as well as for the House of the People and as such
passed the Two-member Constituencies (Abolition) Act ( 1 of 1961) for this
purpose. Under the Act, the Election
Commission was empowered to divide even double-member constituencies into
single-member constituencies, delimit the extent, decide in which of them the
seat shall be reserved for the Scheduled Castes. As a result of this, one
Parliamentary constituency and 10 Assembly constituencies were formed in the
district.
Out
of the total population of 8,71,130 in 1961, the number of electors in the
district was 7,11,708.
Lok Sabha Constituency 1
Hoshiarpur was the only Parliamentary constituency in the district in the Third General Elections, 1962. The Congress candidate won the seat from this constituency. The total number of electors for the constituency was 4,84,314 out of which 3,19,433 voted. The position of the valid voted polled by each contesting party was as under :

Mid-Term Poll 1969.-
The first meeting for the
Punjab Vidhan Sabha, constituted as a result of the fourth general elections,
was held on March 20, 1967. In the
normal course its tenure would have lasted for five years, i.e. upto March 19,
1972 as provided in Article 172 of the Constitution of India. The party position, after the said
elections, was such that no single political party has absolute majority in the
Vidhan Sabha of 104 members. Some of
the political parties, namely, the Akali Dal (Sant Group), the Jan Sangh, the
Republican Party and the Right Communists joined together to form People’s
United Front, which formed its Ministry.
The Ministry assumed office on March 8, 1967. After some time a game of defections started and then Education
Minster in the Ministry, defected along with a few other M.L.A.s. of the Akali
Dal, and formed United Front Ministry on November 25, 1967, with the support of
some Independents and the Congress Legislative Party. The relationship between the Ministry and the Congress
Legislative Party – its main supporter – did not, however, continue to be
smooth for long and ultimately, the Congress Party withdrew its support from
the United Front Ministry. This led to the tendering of registration by the
Chief Minster. As a result a situation
was created in which no single party or workable alliance or parties could
provide a stable government. In the
circumstances as recommended by the Governor, Punjab, the President’s rule was
proclaimed in the state from the August 23, 1968. Thus, the Punjab Vidhan Sabha constituted in 1967 stood dissolved
necessitating a mid-term general elections so as to constitute a new Vidhan
Sabha.
The
poll throughout the State was held on a single day on February 9, 1969. The counting of votes was started on 10th
February and completed on the 11th February. out of the total population of 8,71,130
(1961 census) of the district, the number of electors was 5,42,025.

(b) Political Parties and Organizations
A democratic government cannot work without the
presence of party system. Political
parties are the life-blood of democracy.
For the efficient and smooth working o government, solid opposition is
very much necessary. In India, since
independence (1947) here is dominance of one single party – Congress – which is
a well – organised organization.
The essence of parliamentary democracy is party
government and a party government cannot succeed without an organised party
system. In India, we have a multi-party
system like France. The history of
political parties in India is largely history of the Indian National
Movement. The earliest were the local
societies like Savajanik Sabha, Poona, the Mahajan Sabha, Madras, the Indian
Association, Calcutta, etc. Soon,
however, the need for an all-India organization was left and the result was the
establishment of the Indian National Congress in 1885.
Towards the beginning of the twentieth century,
there came into being two wings within the Congress, namely the right wing and
the extremists. The right wing called,
‘moderate’ stood for the existing methodology of making speeches and passing
resolutions at periodic sessions. The
other wing was known as the extremist.
In 1906, there came into being a communal party, namely the Muslim
League. Its membership was open to the
Muslims only. For a period of 30 years
after 1906, the Congress, the Muslim League and the Hindu Mahasabha constituted
the main sections of political opinion in India.
After 1935, there came parties of the left such as
Republican, Socialist Party, the Forward Block, the Peasants and Workers Party,
etc. A Terrorist party which had
existed from the early years of the present century Bengal, Punjab and
else-where, liquidated itself after the formation of the Congress ministries in
the provinces in 19371.
After the achievement of independence in 1947, many
political parties came upon the scene.
Now the main political parties are, the Congress, the Congress (O),
Bhartya jan Sangh, Communist Party of India, Communist Party of India
(Marxist), Samyukt Socialist Party, Praja Socialist Party, Swatantra, Bhartya
Lok Dal, Bhartya Krantiya Dal and many other parties at State level.
A brief description of the parties which have their branches in the district is given below :
Indian National Congress. – The Indian National Congress is the most important and largest political party in India. Founded in 1885 for the purpose of mobilizing public opinion on the problems of the country, it became the most powerful instrument of nation’s struggle for freedom. In 1947, India achieved independence and the Congress party became the ruling party in the country.
The main objectives of the party since independence have been to set up a socialistic pattern of society ; to raise the standard of living of the downtrodden ; to defend secularism ; to provide basic requirements to people and to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor. Since independence, the Congress party has taken several steps to ameliorate the lot of the poor people.
In all the elections to the Lok Sabha held after independence, the Congress party won the seat earmarked for the district, except in the bye-election of 1969. In Vidhan Sabha elections too, this party has been winning most of the seats. The party commands great influence among the people and is popular both in urban and rural areas.
The District Congress Committee was formed at Hoshiarpur in 1917. There area also City Congress Committees in different towns in the district.
Communist Party of India. – The Communist Party of India was founded in 1925, but was soon declared an illegal organization. The ban on the party was lifted in 1943, when it supported the Government in prosecution of the World War II./ At the district level, the party was founded in 1935-36. In 1961, after Vijaywada Congress, the Communist Party of India was split up and the new party was formed and named as the Communist Party (Marxist).
The main object of the Communist Party of India is to establish a people’s state led by the working class for the realization of the dictatorship of the proletariat. It is a voluntary organization of the workers, peasants and of toiling people in general, devoted to the cause of socialism and communism. The party could not capture any seat for the Lok Sabha set in the district since the first general elections in 1951-52. However, it won one Vidhan Sabha seat in the First, two in the Second and one in the Fifth General Elections, respectively.
1. Mehta, Narinder, Indian
Political System (Jullundur, 1975), Chapter 24, pp. 73-79
Communist Party of India (Marxist). – The Communist Party of India (Marxist) was formed
as a result of the split in the undivided Communist Party of India in
1961. It stands for socialism and
communism through the establishment of the state of dictatorship of the
proletariat. In all its activities, the
party is guided by the philosophy and principles of Marxism-Leninism. The party is represented in the Lok Sabha,
Rajya Sabha and Punjab Vidhan Sabha from other districts but it has never won
any seat in the district either for the Lok Sabha or for the Punjab Vidhan
Sabha.
Praja Socialist Party. – The Praja Socialist Party came into being as a
result of the merger of the Socialist Party and the Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party
in 1952. Both these parties were the
off-spring of the Indian National Congress.
The party aims at achieving by democratic and peaceful means a socialist
society free from social, political and economic exploitation of man by man and
nation by nation. The party won one
seat in the general elections in 1967 and one in the Mid-Term Poll in 1969 to
the Punjab Vidhan Sabha in the district.
Republican Party of India. - The party was formed as successor of the
Scheduled Castes Federation of India.
It could not win any seat in the district during the Fourth General
Elections in 1967 and Mid-Term Poll in 1969 to the Punjab Vidhan Sabha, though
the party put up its candidates in these elections.
Swatantra Party. – Founded in 1959, Swantantra party is pledged to social justice and equality of opportunity for all the people without distinction of religion, caste, occupation or political affiliation. It stands for the principle of maximum freedom for the individual and minimum interference by the State consistent with the obligation to prevent and punish anti-social activities. The party has not been bale to capture any seat either for the Lok Sabha or for the Punjab Vidhan Sabha from the district in any election held since 1951-52.
Bhartiya Jan Sangh. - This is
an all-India party having its urban and rural units. It was formed on the eve of the First General Elections,
1951-52. The party stands for the
re-building of Indian on the basis of Hindu Cultural heritage and tradition
i.e. Bhartiya Sanskriti and Maryada. It believes in the principle of one country, one nation, one
culture and one national idea. The
party has been putting up candidates in almost all the elections in this
district but it could win only one Lok Sabha seat, in the Bye-election held in
1969.
From among the State parties, mention may be made only of the Shiromani Akali Dal.
Shiromani Akali Dal. – The Shiromani Akali Dal was formed on December
14, 1920, during the days of the Gurdwara Reform Movement with headquarters in
the Golden Temple, Amritsar. It was
instrumental in bringing about major reforms in the management of Sikh shrines
and bringing them under the control of Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak
Committee. It emerged as a full-fledged
political party in Punjab during the 1936-37 elections held under the
Government of India Act, 1935. The party
continues to function as a religious and social organization. The party has been contesting both the Lok
Sabha and the Punjab Vidhan Sabha seats since the first general elections in
the district. It won only 2 out of the
8 Vidhan Sabha seats in the mid-term poll in 1969.
The
position of the different parties in the Lok Sabha and the Punjab Vidhan Sabha
in the district on the basis of general election held from time to time is
given in the following statement :-

(c) News papers and Periodicals
The
history of the press in India, in fact, started with the coming of the British
in India. Before their advent, there
existed no press at all ; nor did the natives have any idea about the value and
significance of the news and their publication. It was due to our contact with the British that soon after their
settlement in the Presidency towns, there sprang up numerous journals and
newspapers on the shores of India1.
The
history of the press in the Hoshiarpur District has never been
significant. However, a number of
periodicals are published in the district in English, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu and
Sanskrit, which deal with the news items and current affairs, and contain
information on science, history, literature, etc. However, no daily newspaper is published in the district.
The
particulars in respect of the periodicals, published in the district are given
