Re: [IAC#RG] ELECTION COMMISSION SHOULD ACT ON PRESIDENT'S CLARION CALL

I fully agree with your/President of India.But there is difference between practice and preaching of financial discipline of GOVT especially the present GOVT.It is the common public suffer for dues from GOVT.The present FM instructed to withhold refunds due genuine payers of tax to bridge CAD warranting payment of interest.During the current regime Rs 37000 crores are paid as interest for delaying refunds

ELECTION COMMISSION SHOULD ACT ON PRESIDENT'S CLARION CALL

President Pranab Mukherji in his Republic Day address to the nation made the statement of far reaching significance that anarchic methods can not be a substitute for good governance. He made another statement of equal significance against the tendency of political parties to extend freebies to get votes and pointing out that government is not a charity body.

Politicians should take note of the President's above observations which only reflect the views of the large segment of Indian population. With the forthcoming elections in view , it is very important that the election commission should also take note of the President's views with earnestness and immediately ban political parties extending freebies.

Election commission in recent times has not been known to take any strong measures to discipline the political parties and has rarely gone beyond extending some critical remarks , which no political party seem to take seriously. Now, that the President has given a lead, election commission should act to restore the country's faith in its capability and commitment. Election commission is a constitutional body and it has certain responsibility and inherent powers. It should have the character to use such powers for the sake of ensuring probity during the elections.
