This is a collusion between Election Commission and BJP, Sanjay Raut revealed the raw details of Bihar results:

News India Live, Digital Desk: With the results of Bihar Assembly elections coming out, a new debate has erupted in political circles. Senior leader of Shiv Sena (Uddhav faction) and editor of ‘Saamana’ Sanjay Raut has made serious allegations against the Election Commission regarding these results in the editorial of his newspaper, due to which the whole matter has heated up. Raut has described these election results as a big warning for democracy.

Why mention ‘Maharashtra Pattern’?

Sanjay Raut termed Bihar’s election results as not shocking and termed them as ‘Maharashtra pattern’. He alleges that just as the Aghadi, which looked certain to come to power in Maharashtra, was limited to 50 seats, the same happened in Bihar also. Raut’s direct reference is to the collusion between the Election Commission and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He believes that when the election conducting body itself starts working with one party, then how can fair results be expected?

Question on the foundation of democracy

In the editorial of ‘Saamna’, deep concern has been expressed about what will happen to democracy if the election process in the country does not remain transparent. Raut has clearly said that this election result does not seem to be a mandate, but an order of the Election Commission. He believes that such working style of the Election Commission is tantamount to digging the grave of democracy. This is not just a matter of victory or defeat in an election, but it is a question of the public trust that rests on the entire electoral process.

Earlier too, opposition parties have been raising their voice regarding irregularities and irregularities in the voter list. Raut believes that this is the time when all opposition parties should come together unitedly to save democracy. He says that this is not a fight for any one party, but for the democratic future of the entire country. These results of Bihar have once again forced us to think that for a strong democracy, it is not enough to just hold elections, but it is equally important for them to be fair and trustworthy.
