Are drug seizures related to polls?


A few days back it was reported that Rs 10 crore worth of cash, liquor, jewellery and drugs suspected to be used in bribing voters were seized.

All these leaders are aware of the number of illegal massage parlours but do not address the same. They only want to get elected and profit from all this. 

Power and decision making must lie with the people. They must have the veto on what type of business they want in their midst. 

It is not known if the CEC is keeping a watch on casinos which are highly suited to cash withdrawal and distribution.
