Election Commission Initiative - India

There has been a commendable duty undertaken by the Election Commission of India. Drive your car through a jungle or in the city or travel in a public transport vehicle. They will stop you and check your baggage.

This might not be pleasant to the ears of many in India. However, when you watch them doing their task you would not feel uncomfortable at all. They stop you, explain to you their purpose, check your baggage to see if you are carrying unaccountable cash, let you go if they have not found anything suspicious. They also videograph all the action from the moment they stop you and until you depart.

Cash is carried to fund various promotion activities during election. Most of this is for gaining vote from poor people for whom this is the only opportunity to make some big money or gather something in kind. The also end up voting for such opportunist parties aim at getting elected for making money and do nothing for the much needed developmental activities.

EC not only is striving to check this publicity stunt it is also making money for the government as most of such cash is black money. Anybody, wrongly caught could also claim of harassment and looting as everything is recorded on video.
