  • Kerala Lok Sabha Elections 2024: 25.61 % Polling Recorded Till 11 Am, Check Key Candidates And Phase 2 Polling Constituencies |

    Kerala Lok Sabha Elections 2024: 25.61% of polling was recorded  till 11 am in Kerala’s 20 Lok Sabha seats for the 2024 general election after commencement of voting at 7am on Friday. People began arriving at the state’s over 25,000 polling booths early in the morning to avoid the expected hot weather later in the day. During the election, over 66,000 security personnel were deployed and a webcasting system was used to monitor the process.

    Voting began with a mock poll that included votes for all candidates, including NOTA, listed on an EVM.
    According to the EC’s instructions, at least 50 votes were cast in the mock poll, and actual polling began after the EVMs were cleared. Around 2.77 crore voters will decide the fate of the 194 candidates contesting the state’s 20 Lok Sabha constituencies.

    Will the BJP’s drought in Kerala end? Will Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s sharp attack on the Congress boost turnout after a relatively muted voter enthusiasm last week? These are some of the questions on people’s minds ahead of the second phase of Lok Sabha elections.

    Key Candidates In Fray In Kerala Lok Sabha Elections:

    Among the notable candidates contesting in this phase are Congress leader Rahul Gandhi from Kerala’s Wayanad, where he faces the CPI’s Annie Raja and state BJP chief K. Surendran, and Congress’ Shashi Tharoor vs BJP’s Rajeev Chandrasekhar in Thiruvananthapuram.

    Two union ministers, the majority of sitting MPs, a state minister, three actors, and a few MLAs were among the candidates who tried their political luck this time in Kerala, where the CPI(M)-led ruling LDF, the Congress-led UDF, and the BJP-led NDA all ran active and aggressive poll campaigns.

    The BJP is relying on actor Suresh Gopi, Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar, and Anil Antony, the son of veteran Congress leader A K Antony, to establish a presence in Kerala, which has never elected a BJP MP. Chandrasekhar faces three-time Congress MP Tharoor in Thiruvananthapuram.

  • Indian-Origin Man Shot Dead By US Police In San Antonio After Striking Officers With Vehicle | world news

    Sachin Sahoo, a 42-year-old Indian man, was shot and killed by police in San Antonio after striking two officers with his vehicle while they were attempting to apprehend him in connection with an aggravated assault case. Sahoo was pronounced dead at the scene after police officer Tyler Turner shot him. Sahoo, originally from Uttar Pradesh, India, may have been a naturalized US citizen. The incident occurred just before 6:30 pm on April 21, when officers were dispatched to a home in Cheviot Heights in San Antonio for a report about Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, according to a statement from the San Antonio Police Department.

    When officers arrived, they discovered a 51-year-old female who had been intentionally struck by a vehicle. The suspect, Sahoo, had fled the scene. The victim was taken to a local hospital in critical condition. Detectives from San Antonio Police Department issued a felony arrest warrant for Sahoo in connection with that incident.

    Several hours later, neighbors called the police to report that Sahoo had returned to his original location. Officers arrived and attempted to contact him, but he struck two officers with his vehicle. One officer fired his weapon, hitting Sahoo, who was “pronounced deceased on the scene.” One officer was transported to a local hospital for treatment of his injuries, while the other was treated on the scene. No one else was injured in the incident.

    Police said the investigation is still ongoing. Police Chief Bill McManus stated that Sahoo ran over his flatmate with his vehicle. The woman was in critical condition after having several surgeries. The police had issued an arrest warrant for Sahoo, and on April 21, two officers went to his known location to see if they could find and arrest him.

    “They found him, and he jumped into his car. He pulled out of his driveway, and the police officers blocked him with their vehicles, but he was able to squeeze through. Sahoo struck the officers with his vehicle. “The other officer that was with him fired to stop him and struck him,” McManus went on to say.

    He stated that the police have yet to review the bodycam footage to determine additional facts. According to a report on Kens5.com, Sahoo’s ex-wife Leah Goldstein said he had bipolar disorder. “He had bipolar disorder for the past ten years,” Goldstein explained.

    “He also had symptoms of schizophrenia.” “He couldn’t understand what was wrong with him,” she stated in the news report. “He’d hear voices. And hallucinate, hear voices, and get lost in his own thoughts.” Goldstein described Sahoo as a wonderful father. “I was a stay-at-home mom for many years,” she explained. “He provided for us.”

  • Capitalizing on Sydney’s Real Estate Cycle: A Guide for Indian Investors (2024) | Internet & Social Media News

    The real estate market, like most economic sectors, isn’t static. It throbs with a predictable rhythm, following business cycles defined by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)[1]. This cycle consists of four stages: recovery, expansion, hyper-supply, and recession. Savvy investors can leverage their understanding of these cycles to maximize returns. This article explores the four stages of the real estate cycle and offers data-driven insights on capitalizing on each phase, with a specific focus on the Sydney market and its appeal to Indian investors.

    Throughout the economic cycle, property markets experience distinct phases. The recovery phase ensues after a recession, marked by gradual increases in property values and a tentative return of buyer confidence. Subsequently, the expansion phase witnesses a surge in demand propelled by economic growth, low-interest rates, and rising consumer confidence, culminating in steady upward trends in property values. Notably, the Reserve Bank of Australia’s record-low cash rate in 2020 played a significant role in bolstering the Sydney property market. However, as the expansion matures, hyper-supply may surface,  leading to increased construction that could potentially outpace buyer demand, resulting in stabilization or slight decreases in property values. In the Sydney market, on the contrary, due unprecedented increase in immigration this is not expected to happen soon. Currently Australia, especially Sydney, has housing crisis where demand is way above current and future supply and expected to remain like this for next a few years Economic downturns, such as recessions, can trigger declines in property values and rental income, yet historical data suggests these downturns are typically transient in nature. Sydney real estate market has not seen such a period lasting for long and, in the last few decades, recovery has been much stronger than recession with every cycle.

    Why Sydney for Indian Investors During Recovery?

    Amidst the recovery phase, Sydney stands out as an attractive destination for Indian investors. With its combination of value plays and strong rental yields, coupled with long-term stability and growth prospects, Sydney offers promising opportunities for overseas diversification.

    Value Plays: This is the prime time for bargain hunters. While Sydney’s market fluctuations are generally less severe than those in the US and Dubai, there can still be opportunities to find undervalued properties with high potential appreciation during a recovery phase. According to Corelogic as of 1st April 2024, Sydney’s median house price sits at $1,414,229  
     

    Strong Rental Yields: Even during a recovery, Sydney boasts a healthy rental market. According to Domain, gross rental yield for houses in Sydney are at their highest point since December 2020, following the fastest annual surge on record.[1]. This provides a steady income stream for Indian investors looking for overseas diversification.
    Comparatively, the Sydney house price growth in the last 20 years has outpaced other capital cities in Australia Sydney’s house prices have seen a 449% increase in the last 30 years, influenced by population growth and migration, economic conditions and government policies.[2] This represents long term stability and growth prospects insights for the Indian investors seeking value in a stable market.

     

    Why Sydney for Indian Investors During Expansion?

     

    Sydney emerges as an enticing prospect for Indian investors. Bolstered by its large and established Indian community, which provides a supportive network, along with its stable and transparent property market, Sydney offers a familiar and secure environment for overseas investment.

     

    Established Indian Community: Sydney boasts a large and well-established Indian community. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), about 673,352 people in Sydney identified with Indian ancestry (2021 census) [Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)[3]]. This can provide a support network for Indian investors unfamiliar with the Australian market and make Sydney a familiar and welcoming place to invest.
    Stable and Transparent Market: Australia has a well-regulated property market with clear foreign ownership guidelines. This can offer peace of mind to Indian investors seeking a secure overseas investment.

     

    Why Sydney for Indian Investors During Hyper-Supply?

     

    Due to the current demand-supply disparity in Australian real estate, particularly in Sydney, where demand significantly outweighs supply, the occurrence of Hyper Supply is improbable in the Sydney property market anytime soon. Consequently, individuals who invest now can anticipate long-term capital growth and high rental returns for next a few years. However, even during Hyper Supply, in Sydney investors can get benefit of:

     

    Income-Generating Properties: During periods of stagnant appreciation, rental income provides a steady cash flow. Look for well-located apartments or units with a proven rental history.

    Diversification: Investing in Sydney allows Indian investors to diversify their portfolios and reduce exposure to fluctuations as in the Indian real estate market.

    Quality of Life: Sydney offers a high standard of living with excellent schools, healthcare, and infrastructure. This can be an attractive factor for Indian investors looking for a potential future home for themselves or their families.

    Why Sydney for Indian Investors During Recession?

     

    A recessionary period can present a strategic entry point for Indian investors seeking value in a world-class city. With a long-term perspective, a downturn in Sydney’s property market can be an opportunity to acquire a foothold in a stable and prosperous economy.

     

    Be Patient: Have a long-term investment horizon. While values might dip in the short term, the Sydney market has a proven track record of recovery. Focus on properties with strong fundamentals like location and good school districts.

    Over the years, the Australian real estate market has demonstrated its resilience to economic downturns, particularly in the long-term. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the residential market in Australia has risen to more than 10 Trillion AUD from 6.6 Trillion in just 5 years. This growth far surpasses that of countries like India and Dubai, and even today both these countries’ (India[1] and Dubai[2]) dwelling stock remains less than 1 Trillion AUD, which is far below that of the Australian Real Estate market. The substantial increase in the total net worth of the Australian real estate market highlights its potential and appeals to savvy investors seeking resilience.

    Conclusion:
     

    In conclusion, the Sydney property market experiences cyclical fluctuations. By understanding these cycles and the unique advantages Sydney offers Indian investors, one can develop a data-driven strategy to capitalize on each market phase. Australia has demonstrated its resilience to economic downturns through powerful tools such as immigration, which contributes to population growth and demand for housing. This, coupled with other measures, has successfully stabilized the market in the past and is likely to continue doing so in the foreseeable future. Whether it’s finding value during a recovery, profiting from a growing economy during expansion, or seeking stable income through rentals, Sydney presents compelling opportunities for investors with a long-term perspective. Remember, thorough research and professional guidance are key to navigating any real estate market, and Sydney is no exception. Therefore, to help and guide the aspiring investors, Haansal Estate is coming to Delhi on 11th and 12th May 2024 to host Sydney Property event. Aspiring buyers need to register for it in advance via Haansal Estate website.

  • Supreme Court To Pronounce Verdict On Pleas Seeking Mandatory EVM-VVPAT Cross-Verification Today |

    In a significant development, the Supreme Court is set to rule on a series of petitions requesting complete cross-verification of votes cast using Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) with Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT). A bench consisting of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta is expected to deliver the verdict.

    The Supreme Court previously stated that it cannot “control the elections” or issue orders based solely on concerns raised about the efficacy of EVMs. The court had reserved judgement on the petitions, which also claimed that polling devices could be manipulated to influence results.

    The court also clarified that it cannot change the minds of those who question the benefits of polling machines and advocate for a return to ballot papers. The bench also considered the responses to questions it posed to the Election Commission about the operation of EVMs, such as whether the microcontrollers in them are programmable.

    Last week, the bench reserved its decision on a number of public interest litigations (PILs) in the case, noting that official acts are normally presumed to be valid under the Indian Evidence Act, and that nothing done by the Election Commission can be questioned.

    One of the petitioners, the NGO ‘Association for Democratic Reforms’, has requested that the poll panel reverse its 2017 decision to replace the transparent glass on VVPAT machines with an opaque one. The petitioners have also asked the court to restore the old ballot paper system.

    Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, the Centre’s second highest law officer, criticised the petitioners for filing PILs on the eve of elections, claiming that a voter’s democratic choice is being turned into a joke. He added that the Supreme Court had already resolved the issue by dismissing previous petitions seeking similar relief.

    In April 2019, the Supreme Court ordered the Election Commission of India (ECI) to increase the number of VVPAT slips from one to five per Assembly constituency. It had issued guidelines for the mandatory verification of VVPAT slips from five randomly selected polling stations after the final round of counting votes recorded in EVMs.

    A VVPAT is regarded as an independent verification system for voting machines, allowing voters to confirm that they have correctly cast their votes. The seven-phase Lok Sabha elections began on April 19 and will end with the announcement of results on June 4. This verdict could have far-reaching consequences for India’s electoral process.
