ELECTIONS DRAMATIZE PEOPLE'S CALIBER Three time BJP corporator Menino Da Cruz told media that after serving BJP for around 15 years, he and his supporters are joinning the Congress "to save and preserve his and his supporters self respect". He is of the opinion that the downfall of the BJP has started since ursurping power by horse trading and unethicle means. He is being polite, because the hypocracy and wrong use of state power and money especially in these Covid days is dividing the nation and corrupting the electorate. I am disappointed in our people for behaving like sheep. At the Bengal elections, I was seeing live on TV around 1000 women voters in same design saffron sarees, BJP caps and some with badges stating party volunteer, telling the reporter that Modi is our God, and he has kept us safe by keeping Pakistan and China at bay. With that sort of organization and money, who can win against God? During the second Corona wave, huge road shows endangering our nation's lives by not following Covid protocal led by the countries highest authorities! Win elections and rule at any cost? Foul language and no holds barred campaign! The EC takes no action. What is going on especially in Calcutta with police use of lathi/firing, deaths, booth capturing, EVMs mishandlng etc makes bad democratic elections and governance. 1000 people are fined in Ponda alone for not wearing masks. Netas, road shows, Khumb mela etc are exempt? This is endangering our whole nation from within! Wither equitable justice? Margao Consumer forum had to tell Electricity Department that it is expected to withstand the scrutiny of public accountability by awarding Rs2,500/- to the consumer for unacceptable frequent power interuptions! Central government terms oversight when quickly due elections, reversing the planned lowering of interest which is already low on small savings. Never mind the high prices and assault on lives of vulnerable and senior citizens, BJP government regardless quickly wants to make ours a borrowing economy from a saving economy!
