MEMORANDUM SUBMITTED BY PARTY WORKER FROM KALYAN WEST ASSEMBLY CONSTITUENCY NO. 138 TO BSP, MAHARASHTRA, ON THE BIRTH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS OF ITS FOUNDER MANYAWAR KANSHIRAM ON 15-03-2011.

ELECTIONS IN INDIA
1. What is an election in India ? As you know, Election in India is a big Business. The bigger the business Political Party in India, the sure the chances of winning the Election. Money is clandestinely invested by Political Parties towards Election expenses with a view to mint money after winning the Election. Of-course the loosing Political Party will not be able amass that much wealth as the winning Party can do. That is the prime reason why almost all Political Parties in India make strenuous attempts at horse trading right from the time of making alliances with other Parties, Seat Sharing, Selection of Constituencies, Distribution of Port Folios, fighting for plum Posts under the ruling Governments - whether in States or at the Centre (Union). The main aim is to somehow win the Election by hook or crook..
2. Apart from the Political Party employing their unaccounted and black money and wealth towards the Election Expenditure and outlay, there are big Business Houses, Mult-National Companies, even unseen Foreign Forces and big Businessmen ever ready directly or indirectly to support and help, from behind the scenes, to employ their unaccounted and black Assets, Wealth and Money through the medium of Elections. These Business Houses, Mult-National Companies, the Foreign Forces, big Businessmen and Political Parties primarily aim to make Black Money into White Money. Huge expenditure outlay of these Big business houses and Businessmen is incurred through the Political Parties in India except BSP, as a quid pro quo. BSP does not take political contributions from big Business Houses and Businessmen so as not to come under any sort of obligations to them after winning the Election. The consideration for the black money, assets and wealth traded, bartered or spent through the medium of Election in India is with a tacit understanding that once a particular contesting Political Party wins the Election and comes into Power, it can make the said Business houses and Businessmen totally free and independent to indulge in all or any sorts of illegal and inhuman activities and to increase the prices of their wares, merchandise, products or commodities to any extent that will not be questioned by their Political Bosses. This is one of the main reasons for sky-rocketing of prices of certain commodities of daily consumption by ordinary common men in the country. The prices of the products produced and services rendered mainly by these Big Business houses and Businessmen are always raised. Thus, inflation which is artificially pushed up, will never be able to be controlled by the Ruling Party of the day. The situation arising out of the above scenario, is totally and completely harmful to the interests of the Nation as well as its common citizens.
3. It is correctly said that after Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar completed the marathon task of preparing the Constitution, Acharya Kriplani met him one day, and asked him, as to why he was very glad ?. Acharya Kriplani said perhaps you are very happy that you have given equal voting rights under the Constitution to all the citizens of India i. e. right to caste one vote to a multi-millionaire and one vote to an economically vulnerable poor beggar on the street. But if we purchase the vote of the poor man during Election, what you will do ? Dr. Babasaheb replied that when the people of the country are educated, they will become aware of the true values of their votes, and then they will never sell their votes for money. Money Power is utilized for buying out votes during Election times. More the money spent, the greater the chances in winning the Election. After spending the money and after winning the election, efforts will be not to serve the Nation and its citizens but merely to accumulate more and more money, either in the form of Black money or white money by indulging in the parasite of Corruption. It’s the simple logic is to make good or compensate for the amount already expended by the Party for winning the Election with the help of Media, be it Electronic Media, Digital or Print Media. The Media is one of the main culprits and mainly works for the Party which pays them. BSP does not believe in cheap publicity. The Media therefore does not high light the good works of BSP. BSP is not in a position and does not pay for the advertisements needed to highlight its good works in the Media or Press. More often than not, the functionaries of the winner Political Party remain busy to continuously work to enrich the Party itself rather than working for the welfare of the Nation or its citizens. They hardly get enough time to implement fully the so-called Policies and Programmes announced by them to the vast gullible masses of the country at or before the Elections. Many a time novel Policies and Programmes are announced with a view to merely lure the voters to vote for them and thereafter befool and forget them altogether. The ideologies of the registered Political Parties in India are half backed ideologies and any one of them is not totally ideal and suitable to be emulated for the welfare of the States/Nation.
4. The demerits or drawbacks of the Electoral mal-Practices in India are such that a wide gap between the rich and poor or the haves and the have-nots, has been steadily building up in the Society since independence. Politics in India is the root cause for this wide gulf or gap. Of-course, there are various other factors too that are responsible for this, but the main root cause for the divide between the rich and the poor is the Indian Political mal-practices and how they are being played by the unscrupulous Politicians in India. In this paradox, Oscar Ameringer has aptly described, “Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other.”
5. Electoral system hides substantial irregularities at micro level. In fact, my own experiences confirm the above. Many distortions, some are very serious, that have crept in the System either due to loopholes in the Electoral Laws or due to the incapacity of the system to punish the deviant and in may ways the unacceptable behaviors of Political Parties and their Candidates and their Supporters, here I mean the big Business houses and Businessmen, Multi-National Companies and Foreign Forces inimical to India.. There are 6 MPs and 6 Cs that cripple the entire Indian Electoral System. The 6 MPs in the caste based political Elections being held in India everywhere, namely, parliamentary elections, assembly elections, local bodies’ elections (viz. elections in municipal corporations, municipalities, zilla parishads, town panchayats and village panchayats), are (1) Money Power, (2) Muscle Power, (3) Media Power (print media, electronic media and digital media) (4) Mafia Power (5) Man Power and (6) Manipulative Power. The 6 Cs are (1) Caste-ism (Brahmanism, Vaishya, Kshatriya, and Shudra), and the Untouchables (Scheduled Castes and Schedule Tribes) and the most economically vulnerable poorer sections of the Indian National Society, (2) Capitalism (3) Communalism (4) Corruption (5) Criminalization and (6) Communism (Class-ism). Basically all of these play very important roles in the elections in India, whereby about 10 per cent of minority Arya Manuwadi Ruling Class takes the powers in hand to rule over the remaining 90 per cent of the population literally un-participated, un-represented and totally against the basic democratic principle of “majority rule over the minority” and thereby completely disgusting and browbeating the vast majority population of India helplessly mired in an everlasting financial inequality, poverty, and discrimination, which vitiates the Indian Political Electoral Atmosphere and compromises the legitimacy of the Indian Political and Economic Processes in a very substantial way.
In conclusion, it can be safely said that Elections in India are a complete farce and therefore BSP could not win even a single Seat in the last Assembly or Lok-Sabha Elections in Maharashtra nor could I win the last Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation Election contested by me under the banner of BSP. Please therefore consider my Memorandum and take suitable remedial measures for the future of our Party BSP, India, (i. e. Bharat) and its mul-nivashi aboriginal citizens.
JAI BHIM, JAI BHARAT.
