The war of words between the ruling BJP and the main opposition Congress party has reached its boiling point, with the latter accusing the BJP’s spokesperson and potential MP from Hamirpur, Anurag Thakur, of serious charges. Based on the reports, the grand old party has snubbed Thakur out for not observing the paramount Model Code of Conduct (Covid 19), which defines the behavior of political parties while elections are due.
The Congress delegation has taken advantage of the impartial and decisive behavior of the Election Commission to file a request for serious action against Thakur because of the alleged violations he has seemingly committed. The accused party is arguing that the BJP chairman’s actions could end up with an imbalanced level playing field, which is considered to be an essential constituent of every democracy.
No matter the fact that the country is heading into a tough political fight, this high process has only added more immunity to the already smoldering political caldron. The Congress party’s move is way more than just about maligning Thakur; meanwhile, there have been accusations of unfair practices used by the BJP.
Upon giving the Election Commission the mandate to observe procedures and take timely decisions, and with the reputation of its impartiality and decentness now on the line, the eyes of all are turning to the constitutional guard. Amidst the anxiety and suspense, both political commentators and the citizenry are on the edge of their seats, awaiting the Commission’s response, whose implications for the presidential battle can go as deep as possible.
As the drama unfolds, one thing is certain: the fairness of the world’s largest democracy is in yet another chapter of its journey, adding one more dimension to the test that the democracy is going through. This process involves the political resolve of influential beings to accept the supremacy of fair electioneering.
