New Delhi, July 6: The Lok Gathbandhan Party (LGP) today laid stress on cleansing the corrupt electoral system to ensure honesty and transparency during the election. The LGP said the Election Commission plan to check rampant circulation of “fake news” during the election is just a small move, as the malady is much more serious in the system.
The spokesman of the party said here on Friday that the commission in view of forthcoming state assembly elections in MP, Rajasthan, Chattisgarh and Mizoram has planned to check rampant circulation of fake news to influence the people. The spokesman said “fake and paid news” during the last few elections have assumed serious dimension badly affecting fairness in the election and required to be effectively checked for upholding sanctity of the whole process. With “paid news” has come massive use of black money in the election and complete elimination of bad money is more important than any other reform measure in the system.
The spokesman said the electoral politics of deceit, deception and dishonesty in the country has assumed serious dimension and no political party is interested in improving the situation. The spokesman said the commission should also take stringent measure to check promotion of political agenda through casteism and communalism. The spokesman said so far the commission’s efforts in this connection have not yielded desired results.
The spokesman said prevailing dilapidated political system has completely failed to deliver. Laying stress on “New Politics”, the spokesman emphasized on weeding out dishonest and corrupt from political and administrative system, which, was necessary for protection of democratic values in the country. The spokesman said hypocrites should be discarded to make way for clean, honest, transparent and committed pro-people and experienced leaders for balanced development of the country. The spokesman said “vigilantism” through social media has vitiated the political atmosphere and should be condemned strongly. The spokesman has thus called up the people to politically discard the perpetrators of the crime and their mute supporters and join the LGP movement
