Sir,
Parliamentary elections are in motion throughout the whole country since some weeks ago. People have shown keen interest in the voting exercise so far and have largely participated in this process. We claim that Indian democracy is the largest one in the world. Here in India we have multiparty democracy. In our country, we observe that vote-bank politics has become an essential feature of Indian democracy. Many political parties that stand to contest do kindle communal passions and also create caste based divisions too to woo the voters in their favour. To secure votes a particular section of society’s sentiments are given vent which has become a norm for political parties.
This practice clearly reflects the character of politicians who divide people for personal interest. Polarisation of politics in any way will have its adverse effect and onus lies on the electorate to decide whether to votes man of integrity or the one who seeks only personal glorification. Speaking anti-national language in the election campaigns is a dangerous trend. People are the source of power. This is golden time for the electorate to elect the right candidate who will raise their genuine problem in Parliament. Some politicians do not truly live upto what they are expected to be.
