Rajya Sabha Elections 2020




Here comes the election again – this time it is for the upper house of the parliament. You might hear very soon that this election is not valid because the Central Vista project is not yet started – you might be thinking what does Central vista project has to do with Rajya Sabha’s election, then I will say exactly the same connection when we did the announcement of Demonetization and the Lockdown in the country where we did not thought about the consequences will be faced by the innocent countrymen. Our beloved orator appeared on the Television and gave a sermon in which he preached people of this country with his words of wisdom.

Most of us are aware what is going on in the state of Rajasthan and Gujrat in connection with the Rajya Sabha’s poll as of now – horse trading has started and the opposition and ruling party of both the states are running around with their MLAs so that they achieve the desire results. Unfortunately again it is a Congress Party who is doing this again. As far as moral code of conduct is concern this kind of dirty practices should not adopted by any political party anywhere in the country. But ???????   

What is the code of conduct to elect an MP for Rajya Sabha.   The elected members of Rajya Sabha are chosen through the system of “proportional representation by means of single transferable vote” through the open ballot. The open ballot was introduced to replace the secret ballot, by amending the Representation of People Act. 1951 and the Conduct of Electoral Rules 1961. Open Ballot system means that every elector belonging to a political party ha to show his marked ballot paper to the authorized representative of his political before inserting into ballot box. Open ballot system was introduced to avoid horse trading or cross voting. The minimum number of vote required to get elected is = total number of MLAs in the state +1  / Vacancy + 1

Now it is technically impossible to do a cross voting so the new idea has been developed by the powerful political party to buy the MLA and MLA will give his/her resignation from the Legislature and you will achieve your desired result. This is a clear case of bypassing the people’s mandate? When you are in the power you manipulate the laws according to your vims and fancies but just imagine what reputation those public representatives are gaining. I know who cares….. By god’s grace we have won the election and luckily got an opportunity to make some extra money why not to go for it. I think this would have been the mindset of those MLAs who have resigned from Madhya Pradesh Assembly in March this year and probably they must be thinking of another opportunity to get reelected this time on ruling party’s ticket. In the recent past when we were under the lockdown PM urged the public to donate in his new PM care a/c and people did donated with open heart because it was to strengthen the hands of the government so that they can fight against the present pandemic. There is another conspiracy theory which is going on that is why we or the government needed a new a/c when it already has an PM relief fund. Probably the original relief fund a/c has an accountability and because of which you can’t achieve your desired ambition fulfilled and that could be the reason of the present government to open up a new account and god knows what is been done with that money which has been donated by the countrymen.   

The time is coming for the permanent solution to stop this kind of felonious practice from the face of Indian democracy but for this - people of the country have to rise in the form of ballot. Do remember if you will not rise now you’ll never be able to stand up again. A lot has to do if we really want to live in a democratic country in true sense. Power corrupts and it certainly has corrupted the present ruling party of our country. Stop making fool of us you never know when the time will slip out of your hands but I know by that time probably they will do an irreparable damage to this country – we still have time we have to wake up again and have to teach the lesson to the so called torch bearers of democracy.
