The BJP is the dominant and ruling party at the Centre. They have built a formidable powerful electoral machine and are allegedly using every agency and means to win every election anywhere, everywhere and anyhow.
In Goa, 10 Congress MLAs were welcomed with open arms, and even more than a year after defection and despite a reminder by Supreme Court, the Speaker has still not given his decision.

On television, there are debates. Those in power are given time to express their views, but the opposition is time and again interrupted.
All our institutions for checks and balances have been compromised.

Where is loyalty to the electorate by those who we elect? We seem to be voting away our freedom. Are we worthy of democracy?
