Deaf Dumb and Blind Election Commission

Deaf Dumb and Blind Election Commission

Never before Election Commission of India felt so much helpless as the Commission under Sampath is feeling now. The 1Commission no doubt is undertaking stupendous task of holding election in 2014, but it appears to have failed on three counts affecting the outcome of this collection. First, Pune voters complained that lacs of voters did not find their names in electoral rolls, in other Constituencies also voters lodged this complaint in as much as Mr.Deepak Parekh`s name who happened to be Chairman of HDFC Bank was also missing. Preparation of electoral names is the responsibilities of the Commission and every eligible voter has a national duty to cast his vote but when names are missing the Commission fails the voter to perform their national duty. The Election Commission has been running a campaign to awaken the voters to vote in big numbers. Similar campaign is being run by different media houses to educate the voters to their national duty to cast their vote.
Secondly, the Commission also failed to stop booth capturing in UP and Bihar. These two states always help parties to form government at the center. Commission have been put at their disposal huge paramilitary forces to help them conduct free and fair election but despite that even Modi had to lodge complaint at a public rally and challenge the commission to hold free and fair election. It is reported that elections were held in Yadav-Muslim in UP which is bastion of Mulayam Singh Yadav where booths were captured by Mulayam’s supporters and cast votes in favour of SP.
The third most heinous complaint has been Commission stopping communalising the election. The Commission had been very quick in issuing notices to certain politicians who wanted to communalize the election and passed orders not to allow them to campaign but one bizarre case has been of Azam Khan, UP Minister who broke all barriers in public decency in his utterance. He equated Commission with CBI as an arm of the government which functions at the command of the government of the day. Though he was ordered not to campaign but he still defies the Commission and campaigns. Another case of bad management is of that Beni Prasad Verma who had been abusing the opposition mouthful.  Beni Verma appears to be an uncouth politicians who does not stick to any decency. He abused not only opposition but also Mulayam Singh Yadav from time to time in filthiest language unheard of. Salman Khurshid had been yet another case who constantly violates all code of conduct.
Varanasi is going to be an acid test for Commission but my reading of the situation is that Commission is going to give a free run to all communal political leaders of every hue to play dirty communal politics. All Muslim leaders have descended in Varanasi to campaign against Narendra Modi. Congress have sent its all Muslim leaders such as Salman Khursheed, Gulam Navi Azad, E.Ahmad etc. NCP have sent Nawab Malik, Maulavi Baba came from Ahamdabad, Maulavi Madani have all come to Varanasi to campaign against Modi. I can’t complain against leaders descending in Varanasi to campaign but the question is, have these leaders come to campaign simply and exercise their secular credentials or they have come to communalize the election? Varanasi have sizable number of Muslim population running into three and half lacs. Out of that around 70,000 are Shia Muslims who are likely to vote for Modi. Traditionally, Sunni and Shia Muslims are always at loggerhead, if Sunnis resolve to vote against Modi strategically, Shias will vote for Modi. All these Muslim leaders have descended to stop fragmentation of Secular votes which was proposed by Sonia Gandhi at the beginning of election campaign. These leaders have come to translate into action the communal plan of Secular Parties.

Would the Election Commission remain deaf, dumb and blind to the scenario obtaining in Varanasi? Do they not realize that the campaign of these Muslim leaders are going to be only on communal lines? Would the Commission intervene and take cognizance of the ground realities of Varanasi? My bet is Election Commission will maintain stoic silence in this respect and keep seeing the battle of Varanasi on communal lines. If it so happens, I shall not hesitate to say that muteness of the Commission amounts to encouraging communal politics. The claims of Ganga-Jamuni Tehzib so far claimed by the people of Varanasi is going to evaporate in thin air.It is all going to be Communal,Communal and Communal alone in Varanasi and Election Commission shall remain DEAF, DUMB and BLIND.

  2. I can’t believe that Election Commission is Deaf Dumb and Blind . If he would have Deaf Dumb and Blind Election Commission he might have ignored misdoing of all the Political Parties including BJP ,But commission is keeping full watch on BJP but ignoring same of opponent .It is expected from only shame less body with open eyes and ear Moreover it is obliging his appointee. Looking after such acts one cannot say that our Election Commission is deaf Dumb and blind .

    1. Brother,my emphasis was on communalism which is being persued by Muslim leaders openly,still E.C.is silent.

  3. Thanks for the insights.. 🙂 There is no cause of worry, Modi will win in varanasi.. though I am puzzled by the pathetic thinking and bullshits of other politicians and muslim leaders..

  4. Here surfaces the question again -‘ who will judge the judged ?’
    ( reference ,my blog five years ago on the same topic ).
    Is the CEC not accountable for such acts of ‘violation/breach’ of Code laid down by ECI? Are the officials manning this Body above the long arm of law?
    Are politicos the only ones to be crucified, vilified and defiled?
    Food for thought!
    God Save the people’s Nation!
