Powerless, Ineffective and Compromised Election Commission of India

Looking at the ways elections are being fought by the various political parties, one can sense the powerless, ineffective and compromised Election commission (EC) of India. The main role of the EC is to have the fair and free polls, but looking the way the elections happening in various parts of India especially in Amethi and Varanasi [these are the high profile constituencies mainly as the Gandhi scion Rahul Gandhi is fighting the election from Amethi and Narendra Modi - PM Candidate from BJP - fighting election from Varanasi (apart from another seat Vadodra, Gujarat)]. Other main opponents in Amethi are Smriti Irani (representing BJP) and Dr. Kumar Viswas of (representing Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)). Both Smriti and Kumar has bought to the notice of the public and the nation the lack of development, higher illiteracy rate, poverty among people, lack of Healthcare - hospitals, Schools & Colleges in the region and even the non-existance of the basic amenities in Amethi like water, road and electricity. Congress (Gandhi’s) ruling this constituency for more than 3 decades, but looking at Amethi, it appears that it is 100 years old of India.

There are various questions arises why there was not any development happen in Amethi?, what is Gandhi’s scion doing for last one decade [he is Minister of Parliament (MP) for last 10 years]?, if this is the condition of Amethi how one can expect the Gandhi's lead Congress party (Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi) will do any good for the rest of India? Why Gandhi’s have not made any development in Amethi - so called Nehru Gandhi political dynasty? Does Gandhi’s operating Amethi like the British era of Indian treatment? Is it intentional to keep using Amethi as vote bank but don’t make any progress thereby keeping them backward, with power and money muscle at the time of elections (keep people illiterate, with poor infrastructure, huge unemployment, not even a clean drinking water). Are these new generations are fake Gandhi's who are using the respected surname of 'Father of Nation' Mohandass Karamchand Gandhi? Are these modern generation Gandhi's looting the country unlike the prospering nation dream that father of nation has seen and fought for the freedom of Indians? Does the patriotism of this generation Gandhi is deluded with their greed of power, money and arrogance? Even the opposition parties are also compromised. They all do the politics of convenience. No opposition party make their candidate fight against the Rahul Gandhi or if they do, they make sure it is a weak candidate.

With the 2014 elections on the verge, there were a lot of predictions made by the election gurus that both Rahul and Narendra Modi are going to face defeat. There were bright prospects for the Aam Aadmi Party candidate Dr. Kumar Viswas and Arvind Kejriwal. As a result Congress and BJP both are using all their power to win the seat of Amethi and Varanasi thereby using muscle, government machinery, money power [Saam (the process of pacifying), Daam (the process of giving money), Dand (the principle of punishment/attack) and Bhed (the principle of dividing)]. There were many attacks happening on the newly 1.5 years old party leaders. Both Dr. Kumar Viswas (Amethi seat) and Arvind Kejriwal (Varanasi seat) are being frequently attacked by the Congress and BJP goons. But Election commission is doing nothing – just shut their eyes and ears. Even the Supreme Court of India is mull on the unfairness. There is a conspiracy with the help of government machinery (police and other administration) thereby capturing the election booths and rig the election machines. Rahul Gandhi Congress candidate and Narendra Modi are using all their powers to harass their opponents. Does the India Democratic country, if yes, does India has attain the freedom or the scenario is earlier Indian fight with British for their independence and now they are fighting with exploiting, corrupt, harrasing, dacoit powerful political parties and their leaders who don't want to make India as a peaceful and prospering nation.

Many leaders from the various parties are making the provocative statements and EC take no actions. Media interviews are fixed, parties spending money more than the designated limit, parties openly distributing money to voters to buy their votes, parties misusing the current official positions to win the elections. Even if the EC log any FIR, catch the leaders in distributing money, media interview fixes, other violations, they do nothing. No arrest happens. No actions happen against the TV channels who are compromised as they have received their bones from the respective parties and running the fixed interviews and opinion polls to influence the general public. Only the investigation is postponed after elections are over. Clearly it an ‘eye wash’ and the silence & no action of EC are the big threat to the India’s democracy. The democracy has changed to demon-cracy.

 

Even after knowing all these things, there are many questions arise and It certainly made us think: - 

Why is Election Commission so helpless and ineffective? Why is election commission not taking any actions when they are independent entity? If the elections are compromised then why there is a need for elections? Why Supreme Court of India not taking any action if the Election Commission is ineffective in doing their duty? Why is the President of India not taking any action to keep the democracy of India intact?

If India has to keep their place in the World and to be honoured as one of the biggest democratic country, then these respective institutions has to act swiftly with atmost integrity and honestly. These institutions has to act in the favor of people of India and not in the favor of these greedy powerful and money seeking compromissed political parties which are breaking and twisting the constitution of India for their convenience.
