CASES AGAINST POLL CODE VOILATION-- A FUTILE EXERCISE

The election commission has so far registered more than 300 cases of poll code violation and seized cash and goods in excess of Rs 16.00 crores. That is commendable job. But no action has been taken against the candidates or the party which violated the code. Our political leaders and political parties are super rich as can be seen by the assets declared by them to the Election commission. They do not mind a small amount of cash being seized as long as they are not de-barred from contesting or disqualified in case they win. They continue to lure the voters with money and other things. And after the election everything will be forgotten till next election. What is the use of such exercises which will not bring desired results? We need people like Mr. Sheshan to implement further reforms in the election process. Government and all political parties should think seriously about this.
