Indian elections a sham and a shame

The world's largest democracy is undergoing its next election cycle and what a sham and shame it is. The party - political party's that is, corrupt as can be are infighting among ally's in what is called seat allocation. India has NO PRIMARY elections to choose candidates and party boss's choose their son's, daughters, daughter-in-law, uncles, aunts and other who give them money as the candidates. It is a shame. Sonia, an Italian who moved to India following marriage to an Indian 40 years ago, has brought a new kind of inefficiency, corruption and colonialism to India. India watch out or the Romans will really be here soon, and India may once again become a colonial power. Sadly... true.

The campaign thus far has been sadly lacking in substance and it is corruption all the way. The so called code of conduct is itself a sham - and no candidate can openly speak on issues. Fundamental rights of speach are restricted.

India is at a major crisis. Mr Shash Tharoor, a friend of mine and a candidate is fielded here in Trivandrum, the capital of Kerala in South India's Kerala State. Shashi was UN Koffi Annan's media chief as Koffi bungled and damaged Iraq. And yes, he was in the Iraq foodscam, with same Koffi and Sashi did precious little to bring peace to the world, even as he jet setted arround the world on UN money, and later became "india"s candidate. More correctly Manmohan and Sonia's candidate to be sec general of UN and lost for he quit, having no support of the 5 UN permanent security council memebrs. Sashi is coco cola's candidate and is speaking for Sonia... and colonialism and westernisation and corproate greed.

I say Kerala must defeat him, for even though he maybe a good guy, talented and all that... however, he is coming as a proponent of the West and supporting corruption in New Delhi, having become a cndidate by licking boots and dooing namaste to party boss... when he knows the system is corrupt and unfair and needs fixing. Shashi can do better and must speak against the massive corruption in New Delhi and the arms dealing in the world that is causing poverty.

The fecal dumping on railway tracks continues as Minister Lalu has parted company with Sonia. Yet they will not directly challenge each other and there is "collussion politics " on a grand scale violatng the election code in India. Thes party's and their candidates must be brought to book by the election commisioners... that is a pipe dream.. for the commissioners are the party's men themselves. Democracy in India is under threat.... The people must wake up..

Most party's and their candidates ought to not even be eligable for election - given their track record , corruption, neptotism and double dealing with weapons manufacturers and commission agents.

DEFEAt the incumbants. Send to Parliament only new faces and people. YES, defeat all the current Members of the Indian Parliament... Yes defeat a few new faces such as Shahshi too !! for they are candiadtes of the establishment, nepotism's kids.

India needs a real Gandhi-ji. Not pseudo Gandhi's who are wrecking the country. Throw out the congress and communists. Throw out the RJD the SP and the Others. It is time for a change !! Yes. Nuclear deal vote was done by bribary... yes and SP and Amar Singh have now parted company with Sonia and Congress.. what a thamasha this is. A K Anthony has signed billions of $ worth of defence contracts and these need to be investigated... the Bombay attack was a cover to get arms sales and commissions... India is in danger...Indians wake up and smell the crap on the tracks !! YES
