While all over the world our country has been claiming to follow the requirements of democracy and during this democratic process, how many riots and incidents of arson, loot and booth capturing have been recorded throughout the country. Till now a lot has been dug up which means we have suffered a lot which needs to be considered.

 If the new government’s lofty claims during the past years are discussed at the ground level, then my views perhaps in this regard may not match with yours. Although the government has implemented the online system like as payment system, Aadhaar system, the government has promised to provide spotless and dirt-free administration and corruption, but it has emphasized on the reason of working only with electronic machines for the improvement of election process and democratic system in our country beside the Voter card – PAN card, Aadhaar card , Health card , Job card separately, GST card etc.  It is obvious that since 2014 when the new government came to power, we have seen many cards, but we have not seen any change in the manifestos of democratic system and the long list of political parties with election manifestos.

operations several times and Showed to the people, but still the image of present democratic setup  is continuing the same without any alteration  or  stoppage.

The leaders of the losing parties always blame the alleged tampering with the Electronic voting machine as the reason for their general success of their rival parties in the elections.

What is true or false? The people of our country know very well how much the current property of the political leaders is and how the political leaders write their own destiny by going to the Houses. During the last two years it has been vividly seen that illegal encroachments have been removed from many places across the country, many souvenir shops of commercial businesses have been demolished, but the problem is that during the last 74 years, leaders associated with political parties and government officials involved in corruption deception in the administration. No report is published on the amount of property formulated by the political leaders and government employees, nor is the government confiscating the property created in excess of the requirement as the property of the country.

I think that you will definitely agree with me that if we had brought the democratic system and election process on smooth paths with strong will and strength, we would have learned a lot and have changed according to the needs of the democratic people.

  Until today, you have often seen that in any state of the country, with the sounding of the election horn, the fight with horn starts. But we have seen often that the root of the corruption is definitely being worked on. The Election Commission has never banned all those political parties who have liquidated their energy for spreading political propaganda, nor has they ever imposed a ban on any bogus posters. It has even come to light many times in the eyes of the media that as soon as the election comes,  many political parties are trying to get votes by holding alcohol bottles even among people who are addicts of the alcohol.

  It is worth mentioning here that the Government of India spends crores of rupees for elections and  in general, those who are government employees already are being paid for government service and public services, are taking out crores of rupees from the treasury by paying the extra salary for election duty. On the contrary, our loyal soldiers who guard our borders day and night are losing many benefits.

  Apart from this, the government also spends crores of rupees on the maintenance of polling booths, electronic voting machines and on the day of the election, the arrangement of transportation for voting machines and arrangement for the work of deployment of the government staff, which has being pushed and an impact on the people after the election process, is completed.

  In fact, I have to say that if the governments that believe in the online system had thought through and taken adequate measures to ensure the online system for conducting elections across the country, there would have been no riots and riots in the country, no capturing of polling booths, and no voters be assaulted beside the old age people be benefited to caste his or her vote without any sufferings.  The political parties would be no able to have been accused or alleged of tampering with voting machines beside the citizens of the country would be able to have set a perfect example by fulfilling the requirements of the democratic system by voting 100% without queuing
