The correct answer is B) Electoral Reforms. The Vohra Committee Report (1993) was constituted to study the problem of the criminalization of politics and the nexus among criminals, politicians, and bureaucrats in India. The findings highlighted the deep influence of organized crime on the political system, which has significant implications for the fairness and integrity of elections, thereby directly relating to the area of electoral reforms.
– The committee was headed by Home Secretary N.N. Vohra.
– It was formed in response to concerns about the increasing influence of crime syndicates in the country.
– The report detailed how mafia networks operated with the connivance of politicians and bureaucrats.
– The report’s findings fueled discussions and demands for measures to curb the criminalization of politics, which falls under the ambit of electoral and governance reforms.
While the report touched upon the failure of law enforcement and the justice system, its primary focus and the subsequent policy discussions it triggered were centered on the unholy nexus and its impact on the democratic process and governance, particularly the infiltration of criminals into the political arena and influencing elections. This underscores its relevance to electoral reforms and the broader issue of criminalization of politics.
