Opinion divided on banning poll surveys (Read Article)

"The truth has come in front of the people. The agencies who were indulged in this should be banned. People get affected by it as it creates doubts in the minds of the people. I think those who are guilty should be punished and all the necessary step should be taken. Take effective action in this. This is also a type of corruption. Regulation and ban cannot go simultaneously, when we are demanding ban we want complete ban, there no question of regulation in this."

AS THEY SAID TO MERINEWS

'There should be a blanket ban on Opinion Polls '

"Ban is not the only option. There's no need to ban the opinion polls, but now election commission must keep an eye on who were the political parties that were indulged in this (malpractice) and take necessary action against them. We were saying this from a very long time that few people are abusing this facility and trying to create opinion among the public. Now people will become more aware of the opinion polls and take the decision on basis on their conscience."

Ratan Sharda Where are we headed?

My preoccupation with a new book that is to be released on March 1 kept me away from the keyboard even though momentous events were taking place in socio-political sphere of our nation. I tried to find a common thread to the major events that have shaken us up as I gleaned the news of last three weeks.

KG Suresh Ignoring AAP may prove costly for BJP, others

Apparently, many in the BJP and the Congress are elated over the fall of the AAP Government in Delhi recently. From writing the obituary of the party to pompous declarations that people are thoroughly disillusioned with Kejriwal & Co, the leaders of these parties are falling prey to a miscalculation that they may end up repenting at leisure.
