Who will Pay for these elections ???
by imran patel on Oct 04, 2007 08:10 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

It is easy for all/any political party to call for mid-term elections. But do they or more importantly, do we realize the cost to society of such elections ?

India is still a "POOR" Nation. This kind of fiscal irresponsibility is insane. These elections will be funded by TAX money. Money that you and I earned.
Is this what we earned that money for ?
Is this best utilization of our hard earned money ? The time we spend away from our family ?

These politicals parties are taking India full speed into a ditch. How is this fight making life any easy for the common man ? Politicians needs to realize that they are "PUBLIC SERVANTS" and more importantly, WE THE PEOPLE need to realize that they are PUBLIC SERVANTS. How are they serving US ?

This is a fight for POWER. Plain and simple. The problem is that we do not speak out. The public must keep these politicians in check. They are overplaying their hand. They have a group of loyal and active supporters who seem to have more influence than the majority of us.

Unless we wake up and demand accountability, these politicians will play their old dirty tricks.

Well said. I couldn't agree more.

The politicians have no qualms about such expenses forced on the public.

The power hungry politicians need to be sent home.

Ensure they lose their deposits and we will get a single party rule.

People need to make a decisive choice this time - they need to decide whether they want to be known as a state ruled by dishonest politicians or not.
