Elections called for 1st March
Svarna Surya went into sudden election overdrive today as at a rally the new National Action Party which has took in alot of members from the Party for Prosperity,Democracy and Security announced that a new election would be held for parliament under new conditions for the 1st March including for president with election nominations for president to be required to be in by the end of the 8th February with at least 100 nominations from Lokh Sabha members would be required to run in the presidential elections .President Neha Bhatavadekar announced in the rally that the election would be held under a new system with 600 list seats allocated into 8 lists by population of state and federal districts and a new 10% election threshold on each list for getting seats with 200 winners bonus list seats to the winning party by number of votes.She also in a shock announcement announced she would be backing the presidency bid of Parineeti Begum-Bhatavadekar and only seeking to run for election as a Jan Pratinidhi in the Lok Sabha. She said in her speech "I thank this nation for their support and their overwhelming votes for me over the years and I know people believe in me . I trust people will back in a democratic decision the National Action Party and show the world they support peace, stability and democracy in Svarna Surya and their belief in this great country." The short deadline period for locking in candidates has caught opposition parties unawares with many likely going to have to put in their current lists for candidates and for the presidential election. It is expected that Gopal Gaur of the Svarnan Congress Party will not get the nominations having no Jan Pratinidhi's along with the Communist Party who have often backed their candidates leaving only Narenda Modi likely to have enough support quick enough to run for the presidency.When asked about why the elections were being held so quickly President Neha Bhatavadekar cited the need to hold democratic elections quickly in order to recieve the reparations payments under the agreement agreed with Reitzmag and the United Duchies that was negotiated under EU talks.

Parineeti Begum-Bhatavadekar takes20% lead in polls
Today polls showed Parineeti Begum-Bhatavadekar has taken an 20% lead in the presidential election polls while polling for the Lok Sabha project the National Action Party will get around 43.4% of the vote which would get them a significant majority under the current system. Parineeti Begum-Bhatavadekar is polling at approximately 60% with members of the congress split on whether to support the less religious Parineeti Begum-Bhatavadekar or Narenda Modi who represents the highly conservative wing in SJP party.
The polls also showed Svarna National Congress would likely enter Congress with hundreds of seats up from their current zero despite the 10% threshold as they seem to have regained some popularity among parts of the electorate. However the polling still indicates NAP would get a significant majority in the Lok Sabha.
The campaign trail has heated up with Svarnan Congress Party leaders accused of riling up dangerous anti-government sentiment in their rallies with calls for "reform". Parineeti Begum-Bhatavadekar in her rallies described the Svarnan Congress Party as a fifth column of outside influence seeking to destablise Svarna Surya vowing to meet the challenge and deny them victory in the elections. Meanwhile things have been more cordial between the NAP and SJP despite Narenda Modi calling for reform of the nations election systems and governing institutions with him calling for a Svarna Surya "Closer to the values of piouty , religious conservatism and family values of our heritage and ancestors" and calling for dealing with the "muslim menace " that he accuses of threatening the nations security and stability.

New laws were also passed in todays session to limit rent deductions for accommodation from wages to market rate rents as well as outlaw deductions for food provided. Companies may still provide a food canteen benefit but they may not deduct for food and any employees on existing contracts may not have their wages lowered to compensate under the law. The new laws are intended to protect the workers and former lower castes better with the government saying "We want to promote and embrace as we always have the One Svarnan people principle. This will help fix the issues of discrimination that people have faced. This will show we are a party governing for the people and unity of the nation in the national interest."

Singh a high ranking former general who entered politics on behalf of then Party for Prosperity,Democracy and Security has defected from National Action Party to Svarna National Congress. The move shocked the National Action Party who was blindsided by the move from what was seen as one of National Action Party's rising stars.The reasons for the defection are not yet clear but she put out a statement saying there was a need for "democratic reform." However NAP supporters have called her switch a betrayal of the public of Svarna Surya and suggested that her move is effectively political treason against the people. It is expected she will be put high on the list of the SNC party and is possibly a potential future presidential candidate challenger.The president said in a statement " This is an act of treason against the peoples interests. We are dissapointed Kajol has left what is the only party of the people acting in the interests of democracy , prosperity and security in this country that the people rightly re-elected. We are sure the people of Svarna Surya will punish this act one way or another.She has betrayed democracy and is wrong in saying that there needs to be democratic fixes in Svarna Surya, we are a fully functional democracy where people have democratically elected our party because we serve them best."

President Parineeti declares Nyaay Tak and Tarek Al-Wazir terrorists
Parineeti Begum-Bhatavadekar today declared Tarek Al-Wazir and his group Nyaay Tak terrorists today. The president said in a statement to the press with the home secretary "We have come today to declare our solidarity with the United Duchies, Reitzmag and UK against terrorism and all those who would seek to destroy the peace we all worked so hard to create. While the war was abhorrant and certainly an error on their part we must move forward and onwards in peace and harmony and not dwell on the past. The killing of thousands of innocent civillians done in our name is not the way to do so. We will not tolerate terror and murder in our names by Tarek Al-Wazir or Nayaay Tak. We do not seek revenge and targeting civillians is not the way. Anyone associated with Tarek Al-Wazir or Nayaay Tak shall be classed as a terrorist and dealt with accordingly. We invite any who are considering this "revenge" to enjoy the hospitality of solitary cell in one of our prisons for a week or so to see what their future life will be like until they die. We hope they enjoy it if they seek to pursue terrorism."The statement is seen as an attempt to seperate Svarna Surya from the group and end the using of the war to sow discord and disharmony in Europe. The President attended the Concert for Unity in United Duchies holding hands with the High Duke of United Duchies Nikolai III, the PM John Peter Key and the Reitzmag PM Simon Bridges. The new tough stance comes after month of tensions from the war by some Svarnans with the government seeking the quell calls for "revenge". The country has offered to assist in investigations and inform United Duchies, the United Kingdom and Reitzmag of any plans for attacks or assassinations it becomes aware of.
