Very well said indeed! > selma Under the law in force, there are other "practices" that are considered to be "corrupt practices or electoral offences" (apart from offering or accepting money or any other gratification either to vote for or not to vote for a particular candidate). These are: * inducements by way of liquor, feast, gifts, etc to vote or not to vote for a particular candidate. * inducement to vote or not to vote for a particular candidate on the grounds of religion, caste, community, sectarian beliefs or place of birth. * threat to an elector of ex-communication if he votes for or against a particular candidate. * offer of free conveyance to any elector to go to or from any polling station. Were all aspects of the law implemented with determination? Or just some?
