New Delhi, July 8 :    New Delhi, July 8:  This is not the first time that electoral reforms have been rejected by almost all political parties. Earlier, reports of the Dinesh Goswami Committee on electoral reforms and another one headed by the late home minister and veteran CPI MP, Indrajit Gupta, were also ignored. The law commission and the National Commission to Review the Working of the Constitution, too, had suggested a number of recommendations on electoral reforms to the government, but neither the ruling party nor the Opposition had paid heed to any of them. While the Goswami committee recommended government or official funding of elections, the Indrajit Gupta committee made elaborate suggestions on political funding and measures to discourage criminals from helping candidates during elections. The law commission under its earlier chairman Justice B.P. Jeevan Reddy had almost made 'sweeping' electoral reforms by incorporating both the committees' recommendations. In its report submitted to the government, the commission mentioned all the suggestions after the Supreme Court set July 1 as the deadline for the implementation of electoral reforms. The law commission's recommendations also included changes in the defection law and proving the strength of a ruling party.
