Common people being used as puppets in elections...


It is a fact that a vast number of voters in the nation have become indifferent to the issues at hand. Even when they are at home, a sizable portion of the general public now views themselves as party workers. The greatest characteristic of this class is their unwavering political confidence in a single party, regardless of the party's policies. In this section, caste and religion take precedence over matters like education and healthcare. This class began to believe that, having cast a ballot for a given party, they were obligated to support it for the rest of their lives, regardless of the party's or the government's policies in the areas of economics, society, and politics.

This demonstrates how ordinary citizens, or voters, are becoming little more than puppets that cast ballots rather than being silent participants in the political process. Political parties have, in a sense, curtailed the role of the average person by deciding everything from election concerns to public opinion trends. In this process, the ruling parties are always the major players.

When it comes to determining what news and concerns are prioritized by the mainstream media, political parties have a bigger say than the general people. It is evident that political accusations and denials predominate in the media. The news industry is centered on political pronouncements. The media portrays this as the political reality. Political parties continue to be vital in influencing public opinion toward elections as a result.
