Editorial with Sujit Nair: Are elections free and fair? | PM Modi | BJP | Congress | Rahul Gandhi
In this editorial segment, Mr. Sujit Nair delves into the contentious issue of the fairness of elections in India, specifically focusing on the financial dynamics that shape the political landscape. According to a report by the Election Commission of India (ECI), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has emerged as the major recipient of public donations, accumulating a substantial ₹719 crore in funding for the fiscal year 2022-23. In contrast, the financial support for the Congress party has dwindled to a mere ₹79 crore.
Mr. Sujit Nair emphasizes the significant role that financial resources play in the electoral process, highlighting the challenges faced by political contenders due to the monetary demands of running a campaign. The assertion is made that the evident correlation between party budgets and electoral success underscores the difficulties faced by those with limited financial means in effectively participating in the democratic process.
In essence, the discussion revolves around the idea that the unequal distribution of funds among political parties creates an environment where those with larger budgets are given a distinct advantage in the electoral arena. The commentary by Mr. Sujit Nair underscores concerns about the democratic principles of free and fair elections in India, suggesting that the financial disparities may compromise the level playing field necessary for a truly equitable democratic process.

Before the commencement of elections a team was formed of government officers which included even my uncle. All the EVM and VVPAT machines which were around 1000 each were kept in a warehouse, and 10-15 random machines which were supposed to be used during the day of election were taken out and in each machine exactly 1000 random votes to different parties were given and were checked later and there was not even a single vote which went to some party which it was not supposed to go. After the election is over all the machines are sealed by the respective officer present at the booth. My uncle had to make sure all the machines are sealed properly. Then all the machines of the city were brought to one place where all the government officers from commissioner to clerk and also bsf and police officers were present to take care of the machines. Election got over at 6:30 pm but all the officers were told to stay in that place till all the machines were securely departed to the warehouse, all this lasted till 6:00 am. So even in this period the machines were heavily guarded.

My simple question to you - if EVMs are manipulated, why would BJP lose in Himachal, Karnataka and Telangana? Why did any political party not show live demonstration of EVM tampering when the ECI had challenged them openly to prove that tampering was possible? If it was possible then all opposition politicians (read Congress, SP, BSP, AAP, CPI and many more) would have shown up and proven that. Is their absence from ECI’s challenge not a proof enough for you and people like you to believe that some political parties in India are trying to win people’s sympathy citing the EVM tampering as the reason of their defeat? They know the real reasons for losing elections but cannot accept the same in public and hence they need to find some illogical reasons. And this is the best one. The thing is, at many points in life, we know what the truth is but are not ready to accept due to ego issues.

There is every room for doubt and suspicious due to various reasons on the recent elections. How canyou call this fair and free. Even the Great BJP MP Subramanya Swamy has expressed very severe reservations about the role of these EVM machines. Further the Godi Media themselves had come come so favourably for the ruling Regime. Still you would have examined the EXIT poll result shown by the TV Media gave only a small chance to the BJP in the big states. But the result shows a very different story giving a verybig swing in favour of the BJP which no one expected. So there is every room for suspicion. This clearly shows the Opposition party leaders to be very dumb or incompetent. As long as these EVM machines excist there is no hope for the congress or the other Parties. Jai Hind!
Difference before and now, corporates and businessmen used to fund political parties, but the corporates or businessmen funding opposition other than the party in government were not haunted, now they fear of raids from ED/IT. That’s the difference
What a question only the doomed can answer your question
its not atall level playing field, BJP candidates are super rich with system supported whereas opposition does not have those. On top of this allmost 99% people are poor , only 1 % are rich .they are willing to buy freebies as well as vulnerable to the force.

Best analysis of the current system
Whatever u said sir...is 100% correct....but what's the cure😢😢😢😢😢
Mr. Nair, i have a few questions - 1. If this is a not free and fair electoral system, then can you provide a example of one electoral system that is flawless from anywhere across the globe ? 2. You mentioned congress had a lot of funding before, and even then bjp became a juggernaut with less money. Is that not actually an example of the fact that money doesn't actually decide everything and that India is truly a free market that decides to elect people regardless of the amount of funding they may have ? 3. If the election commission is something that is not the right body to conduct elections then who is ? Who decides what is the right body and who should stay in it ? I humbly request you to please think about and answer these questions too !

As of today, Politicians in this country, nearly 99% of them are all seasoned ROGUES. And, in my personal opinion, Congress are the 'Professors' who fabricated and demonstrated to the rest, the art of CORRUPTION, because they are the one's who got the First chance to form a Government in this country, after the British left. Had they governed and DELIVERED, what they were supposed to achieve (in the true sense, taking Singapore as an example), there would not be any chance for any other party, to make it past them, because the people would have automatically acknowledged their merit and would keep voting them back to office. But unfortunately, this is not what happened and SO, we have ended up with a much larger bunch of ROGUES, who have taken corruption to higher, intricate and more effective levels.😂😅🤣 That's the gist of the matter.

No party or political donor is ever going to invest unless the make back atleast 20x their investment. And if 50,000 crores have been spent then the people of India have lost 20 times that. Because no one can make money without someone else losing the same amount of money.
