What Eklection Commission thinks on RK Nagar poll
Scenes of gross violation of election procedures by candidates and their supporters have been shown in the television channels and reported in print media.
After the election is over and people think about the sordid events that happened, most people think that Election Commission which is the watchdog and conscience keeper of the voters should have ensured free and fair election at any cost.
What is particularly disturbing is that the Election Commission has so far not reacted at all to the widespread criticism , thus giving an impression that it thinks that everything went normally. R K Nagar assembly election seems to be the case of “operation success but patient died”.
The Election Commissioners should take a long term view of the level of harm that have been done to the body politic of India by the happenings in R K Nagar constituency.
I appeal to the Election Commission to immediately issue a statement on it’s stand.
This is required not only to protect the credibility of Election Commission but also to restore people’s faith on it’s capability to conduct fair election.
Election Commissioners may come and go but Election Commission and it’s credibility and people’s faith in it should be there all the time.
