We ensured everybody could vote without fear
by Radhakrishna Wudali on Dec 22, 2007 07:19 PM

It is indeed gratifying that Election Commission observations are taken seriously by political parties. However, the trait with politicians is that they make slanderous remarks, and come back that they have been misquoted,or taken out of context,or he/she did not mean that way etc. Despite increasing exposure by electronic media, still the POLITICIAN go scot free. At best a warning or admonition by Election Commission. As the saying goes, POLITICS IS THE LAST RESORT OF SCROUNDELS! This being the nature and insensitive to warnings, the politician has now become an untouchable for common citizens. They demand respect because they wield enormous authority without any accountability. The intelligentia have completely become averse to the electioneering process and avoid voting sinces these people represent their families,caste,creed etc. GOD SAVE THIS COUNTRY FROM POLITICIANS.
