Sir,
The Election Commission of India, in consultation with political parties and NGOs must embark on reforming the electoral system of the country. It is generally believed that the cause of corruption in India is the nature of elections in India. Political parties get donations from businessmen to conduct elections. In lieu, they make all possible concessions to these businessmen who later on indulge in profiteering without caring for customers. As a first step towards reforming the system, the Election Commission has recommended a ban on anonymous donations above Rs 2000 to political parties. The poll panel wants parties to maintain accounts for all donations, get their accounts audited and submit the audited books to it on an annual of basis.
This single step in itself is not sufficient to make the election system clean. It is a beginning, and it should be supported by one and all.
The Election Commission wants to plug this loophole and weed out black money from the political system.
Yours etc….
