KEJRIWAL HAULED UP FOR HIS REMARKS Everyone is aware about the role of money in elections. The two National parties pretend to be hypocritical and deny that money is distributed during elections .His remarks to take money and vote for AAP have generated a storm to discredit him and ward off real perceived threat to their comfort zone. The limit on expenditure, vigilance and monitoring have only led to distribution well in advance and totally in discrete manner, to circumvent the law. That people must approach them for its their own dues accumulated by politicians through corrupt means, It is true that agents approach politicians claiming vote banks. Is not donations to religious leaders, institutions amount to approaching politicians a subtle exercise The inducements like Tv, motorbike, washing machines, mixers, grinders, mobiles, saris are too cumbersome and leave a trail of proof but are selectively given,. Money for petrol and bashes after elections are not factored in. Voters who refuse such bonanzas can be targeted later as non supporters. In fact the money is distributed without asking only to such poor voters and not to middle class and affluent population
Can anyone without money and muscle power honestly hope to win in elections? Throughout the term of the o office the politicians gather wealth either to repay loans or make provisions for the next term or to keep their supporters in good humor. Many a times the quality of our unworthy representatives with party label is the sure barometer of the role, inducements of money power, In recent times the atmosphere of elections is totally vitiated by these abhorrent and heinous malpractices of bribes, inducements to woo voters and such acts have come to be normal practice indulged in by all parties at different levels Nelson lopes Chinchinim
