As a proud Bihari, I am ashamed by the state of our elections, which have become a playground for corrupt ministers using wealth and intimidation to hold power. The recent Bihar elections show that elected officials do not represent the people but act like goons, ensuring only the rich or connected can contest.

 

The common citizen, despite having vision for change, faces insurmountable barriers—high campaign costs and threats to their safety. This perpetuates corruption and neglects Bihar’s needs, from healthcare to education and infrastructure, while our cultural heritage is undermined.

 

We demand urgent action to ensure free and fair elections:

1. Cap Election Spending: Limit campaign costs to level the playing field.

 

1. Protect Candidates: Provide security to prevent intimidation.

 

1. Increase Transparency: Enforce open disclosure of funding and campaign activities.

 

1. Independent Oversight: Appoint impartial agencies to monitor elections.

Bihar deserves a democracy where merit, not money or muscle, determines leadership. Sign this petition to demand fair elections and restore integrity to our political system for a brighter future.
