Rigging and Booth- Capturing In Arunachal Pradesh

It is very very surprising to wake up early and reading such ridiculous articles about my state. I always thought that people in my state will never do such thing whether they win or loose. But the power hungry politicians in the state can do anything now to win the election. 

“In the days of yore, when rigging and booth-capturing were the order of the day in Bihar, it was not unusual for polling centres to register a voter turnout of 90% and above”

I think the politician in the state are taking lessons  from their counterparts in Bihar…. It is so ridiculous to   see a turnout of more than 100% in the state where the overall voters turnout all over the country is struggling to cross 50% mark.

We hape put Bihar to shame..

Look at the figures below:

Figures released by the office of the Tawang district election officer suggest that the voter turnout in the Luguthang Primary School polling station 108.11%. Other booths in the assembly segment had a similar tale. It was 104.48% in Gyamdomg Medium School, 104.38% in Mirba community hall, 102.70% in Thingbu Medium School, 101.72% in the Kharjung Primary School, 101.56% in the Bomja Primary School polling centre and 100.55% in the Lhou Secondary School. 

Palin recorded -battering turnout. The Korayar polling station, for instance, recorded a 154.08% turnout. It was 136.86% in Kembing, 127.14% in Riaga, 21.13% in Resteriang and 120.40% in Korayar. 

Is our state going the Bihar's way? 

If the situation goes in this direction, then just think 20 years ahead ,what will be the our situation? There will be daylight robery, kidnapping , abduction and so on. The symptoms of which are slowly showing up. Think about it.
