It's surprising as to how EC is not only naming Team Anna but also putting some sort issue of propriety on it. I think EC is stretching it's power in free democratic country as ours. They better concentrate in conduct of free and fair elections. With voter apathy in states like UP at it's peak, EC has failed in it's duty to excite the voters. It's shame that MLAs with even < 10% votes can win in UP. My comments on the news http://www.dailypioneer.com/pioneer-news...aishi.html

Although the topic is a month old it is just as valid today. My opinion is EC may have little to do with voter's turnout. The majority of voters don't turn to vote as they do not believe strongly enough that their individual vote can affect change of some sort. Most candidates in the running are dubious with chequered history so one does not have a worthy choice. It is sadly a choice between the devil and the deep sea.
