Are our MLAs Donating Vote or Selling Vote?
For every big and small election that happen in India, we hear a lot of
time that voters are bought with notes. Without shedding a 'green-note',
there is no doubt of getting approval from common man for next five
years. Can we expect the same in Presidential election too?
Looking at the way Pranab and Sangma are meeting parties to vote for
them in the presidential elections, surely the post lost its respect.
Maybe this country's citizens have never thought of this. One will
easily get doubt now regarding how much payment that will be given to
each MLA for voting in a person's favour. If these MLAs are ready to buy
votes from citizens will they not be ready to sell their own vote?
Analysts say that there are plenty of chances for political parties to
do business with their votes though not literally with 'cash'.
One party extends support to get projects to their state and one for a
cabinet berth. One party gives their votes as a quid pro quo to save
their party chief and one will do it as they are not having any other
option. Election is election and selling is selling. There is no
question of donation here!
