Foolish complaints

#Foolish #complaints

Former MP T. N. Prathapan’s complaint against Suresh Gopi is nothing but a childish political stunt.

In India, the law is very clear that a voter only needs to be an "ordinarily resident" of a constituency, not a resident for any fixed number of days. If Suresh Gopi has shifted his residence, updated his documents, and followed the proper legal process, there is nothing illegal about it. 

Prathapan, instead of respecting the democratic process, is trying to create unnecessary controversy for cheap publicity. This is an insult to the very electoral system that ensures free and fair voting in our country. Such baseless allegations waste the time of law enforcement and distract from real issues.

It is shameful that Rahul Gandhi and his Congress leadership back such silly arguments that show complete ignorance of the law. The Representation of the People Act is a cornerstone of Indian democracy, and questioning it without reason is a direct attack on the fairness of elections. 

Instead of educating the public about their voting rights, the Congress is spreading confusion for political gain. This behaviour is irresponsible and shows the party’s desperation. Leaders should protect the credibility of elections, not undermine them with baseless and foolish complaints.
