[Assam] Flushing out in election style

[Dilip/Dil Deka]

It is a pity that you treat the Indian voters with such disdain. The manner in which Indian voters have voted out incumbents and brought in new governments several times, with the hope that things will change - clearly shows money does not always buy votes in India.
   
  As I remember, ballot papers in India do not carry voter identification and polling booths provide privacy. So, even after getting a bus ride from a given candidate, what is there to prevent the voter from voting for any candidate he wants to, once he is inside the booth? I realize there is group or block voting but that is another issue, not because they ride in the same bus.

  *** For those who have missed it, or at least pretend that they missed it, it is not just B'Deshis that are herded to voting booths in democratic India. That is the main method , all over India, even for the authentic citizens.  And those who have the most resources to treat the revelers and get to the voting booths, win.

There are certain dalals (brokers) who carry out the process on being paid by the contesting candidates. There is no reason why such illegal migrants can't be thrown out of Assam by adopting such steps. I urge the Indian Army to launch such an operation to weed out Bangladeshis from Assam.                                                                                       ----Satyen Brahma,                                                                                         Lokhora,                                                                                            Guwahati
