Opposition parties, keep contesting elections, until each of you is decimated, one by one by one. What was done to Maharashtra has been done to Delhi, has now been done to West Bengal, and will most certainly be done to Punjab and the other states. The 'successful' West Bengal template shall be applied to all elections in future by the BJP, it is now truly invincible. The lines between the 'government' and 'party' have blurred, infact vanished. The Central government is the party and all constitutional authorities are subservient organs of the party. But keep contesting, I say. After all, we must preserve the grand illusion of the "mother of democracy". All the hype, controversies, rallies and exit polls are to convince you that there is still a contest infact when there is none. Democracy has been flawlessly 'executed' once again. These state elections have extinguished the weak flickering flame of democracy for all times to come. Congratulations, Election Commission of India!
