Elections? What about bogus voting...

Elections have already started in the profoundly famous and supposedly largest democracy of the world.
Democracy is celebrated as the leveller and a fair way of governance, but the question still remains is this form of governance actually fair and neutral to each of the inhabitants of a country.

Most of the 700 million expected voters will not vote. Naah, you might say usually the voting percentage is juz about 50%. But hang on... you know a phenomenon known as bogus voting? which is rampant in each and every constituency? No single constituency can deny it and policians honest and crooked definitely would go for it without paying heed to thier conscience if at all one exists for them....

It comes in many forms not only booth capturing or forcefull voting...
Voters are pressurized that if a certain candidate isnt voted to power, " then we will see what has to be done".
A list of probable voters who might be absentee's or perpetual abstainers is made beforehand by the sycophants of the crooks...
These votes are cast without any issues. Most of the times the rival candidates too might know about it, but wouldnt do anything except sulk that the "#$%%^" got the cookie before he could get it.
There is an unsaid rule that is followed, never report these stuff. And of all people about your rivals since the candidates themselves know that the skeletons within their own closets are all too very well known if not to their own closest of supporters then "may be" to their rivals...

This seems a gross generalisation, but unfortunately not many constituencies could boast of not having this mess with a clear conscience.

Hoping that the "best way known" of governance throws up some actually good people to power and the buck gets evenly divided to the billion plus populace.


Ok, OK retracting the last sentence.... Hoping that the "best way known" of governance throws up some actually good people to power and the buck gets "more" evenly divided to the billion plus populace....

  1. I am not convinced that bogus voting is such a menace that it could change the results. Moreover,50% voting or whatever, is among the people who are registered for voting. As such vast majority of youth don't even have their names registered for voting!!

    All in all, politics is the last resort of scoundrels! And I am not a politician by any means :-)
