Is this what we call a democracy?

Um, yes? Exactly how old are you and why are you so ill-informed?

Tells you what exactly? Have you never heard of candidates winning unopposed? Is it now fashionable to not know what you're talking about?

It has happened many times my friend, don't cry on this. 4 times the local leaders of J&K won unopposed due to last minute rejections. Recently, Dimple Yadav, wife of Akhilesh Yadav won unopposed.

Atleast think before you start defending your master. The Lok Sabha incident happened in 1989.

And it’s not about winning unopposed elections, it’s more about why did this happen in the first place. Why was everyone either disqualified or what happened that all of the independent candidates dropped their names. Care to explain that?

@Thomas_Shelby Dude, do you even know what happened? On filling nomination form, you need to have 3 proposers for you who will sign and verify your candidacy. Now, the opposition has legal right to object the proposers signatures. In this case, BJP asked the Congress candidate to get them signed again and he wasn't even able to call those people back. Thus, form rejected. If this is undemocratic, then please change the constitution as it is written there only.

Glad that the opposition candidate did not just drop himself from the 20th floor of the 3 storey building or not commit $uicide by shooting himself 20 times.

Context: Russian elections

While overall it does looks suspicious since all candidates together found some justification to drop out .. but BJP really doesn’t needs tactics like this at least in Gujarat. BJP seems to be on overdrive go mode to win any how and maybe even places were ideally the game is in their favour they are not taking chances . This is just a wild ass guess. Honestly looking at the current situation it’s reasonable to assume GUjrat won’t be lost. 😏
