It is a pity that you treat the Indian voters with such disdain. The manner in
which Indian voters have voted out incumbents and brought in new governments
several times, with the hope that things will change - clearly shows money does
not always buy votes in India.
As I remember, ballot papers in India do not carry voter identification and
polling booths provide privacy. So, even after getting a bus ride from a given
candidate, what is there to prevent the voter from voting for any candidate he
wants to, once he is inside the booth? I realize there is group or block voting
but that is another issue, not because they ride in the same bus.

*** For those who have missed it, or at least pretend that they missed it, it
is not just B'Deshis that are herded to voting booths in democratic India. That
is the main method , all over India, even for the authentic citizens. And
those who have the most resources to treat the revelers and get to the voting
booths, win.

Flushing out Bangladeshis: in 'Election Style'
During elections, we find illegal Bangladeshi migrants being yolked
together in jam-packed buses and taken to election booths for casting their
votes by various political parties of democratic India. There are certain
dalals (brokers) who carry out the process on being paid by the contesting
candidates. There is no reason why such illegal migrants can't be thrown out of
Assam by adopting such steps. I urge the Indian Army to launch such an
operation to weed out Bangladeshis from Assam.
