People
are participating and exercising their voting rights in a democracy in the
faith of not only getting 
their representation as also with the expectation
that their voting should be kept secret. This privacy is to be maintained and safeguarded
by the EC. How many vokkaligas or chokkaligas or other crap liggas of what religion, voted for
whom and from where shouldn’t be in the public domain. When the person’s
identity is kept secret then how is that a community’s voting pattern deciphered
and revealed? This is a mischief which the elite then use to create divisions
among the society. It is a simplistic version of how and why people vote, an
exaggeration that undermines common people and their aspirations. This assertion
of elite, who have a tight hold on narration, is then sought for manipulation and
bargaining, at the cost of common people. People are therefore pigeonholed and ghettoized,
their aspiration stifled. They are seen as zombies without any say on their will.
It undermines the intelligence of common people. This attitude of elite section
is nothing new but the EC shouldn’t be alibi to it. EC have duty to perform.

Also
during the counting process why are the areas of the constituency revealed? The
mediocre market media then speculate in terms of which section, which subcaste,
which god damn what, controls or not controls the areas and then predict the
pattern. These obnoxious people are also journalists, and as the case is come
from same milieu, so give them assured status to their demented views. Their limited
view on common people is therefore understandable. These mediocre people also
have discussion wherein they utter high sounding words like jathiwad samikaran and other nonsense, as
they try to understand common people but as always through their blinkers. It is
not amazing that they never really get anything right. Further it is much
easier to work on these speculations as it is devoid of any ground work, since
that would require traveling to remote areas and spending time to understand
people. Simplistic version works within the traditional framework –this is
something they have been trained in and entitled to, so the views from this
hole their sacrosanct obsession. People have moved on.
EC
commission has failed to keep the privacy of common people, and playing into
the hands of elite manipulators and helping them inflate their bargaining chip.
This is not the role of EC. This intrusion into the rights of common people is to
be taken grievously. It is undemocratic.
