The only democratic process in India is the election process, where people vote. Even that is probably rigged with fiddling of EVM's. After the newly elected members take their place, then the system automatically switches from democracy to full autocracy, where the big man tells everyone what to do, with zero accountability given. One can only guess how much money and power changed hands to get Chandrababu to support Modi, a person he completely hates. Good thing that a Dempo operative did not win against my ex-Engico class mate in South Goa, else it would had been another Adani type rise for the Goan business. The world needs India for business but people do laugh behind their back, at the nonsense going on there - the sheer corruption at beyond astronomical levels, the airports springing up everywhere, the temples, the statues, etc. It is all about impressing, a game where the poor get poorer and the planets reached increase by the day. Complete disparity on so much, that it is impossible to list.

Once again democracy prevailed in India. Around 642 million people, more than 10% of the world's population, were able to vote after the polls opened in mid-April, with an average turnout of around 66% across the seven phases. Lok Sabha election India set a world record. The entire counting process was described as "absolutely robust," and all issues raised by multi-party delegations were addressed. Over 68,000 monitoring teams and 1.5 crore polling and security personnel were involved and over 90% of 495 complaints of Model Code of Conduct violations disposed during elections. Some 642 million people cast their vote in the world’s largest election, as swathes of the country was blanketed in searing heat, making people sick and killing dozens. India, the country of 1.4 billion people has become the world’s fastest-growing major economy and a modern global power, making strides in technology and space. Yet, despite these successes, poverty and youth unemployment persist – particularly in rural areas – and the wealth gap has widened. Goa: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Shripad Naik won the North Goa Lok Sabha seat for the sixth consecutive term on Tuesday, while Congress-led Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) candidate Viriato Fernandes succeeded in retaining the party’s South Goa parliamentary seat. Many watchdogs have categorised India as a "hybrid regime" that is neither a full democracy nor a full autocracy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Goa-Research-Net" group.
