MISUSE OF CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS BY POLITICIANS

                               By: Stephen Dias,D.Paula

 

 

Coincidently the polls are just at the corner where the Christmas festivities are around. The Election Commission is yet to take over their reigns of election code. Already there are instances that the election candidates were seen distributing expensive items in the name of sweets, goodies and what not just to gain their vote of confidence. In the pretext of Christmas these politicians are using all their means of gaining votes for their party or themselves and by hook and crook getting them elected, which is an offence not only on moral grounds but it punishable under election code rules. This latest tactics played by politicians which amounts to bribery should be condemned by Election Commissioner and immediately stop such mal activities in the state in the name of Christmas which ends by 6^th of January 2012.
