Ati sarvatra garhitam (too much is always bad). It applies for the EC India. I am proud to be Indian. I am proud of democracy in India. I am proud of neutral EC and the way election is conducted in India. However EC has crossed limit and now trying to show their power at lots of places where things were better without their intervention.
Whenever there is an election, government stops all the development work as it may tamper the voters' mindsets. There are lots of election (panchayat, state, centre, municipality) etc. So the government stops its development program for atleasst 5% of the time (6 months in 5 year). So lots of wastage of money and low return on Investment.
Recently EC has asked Odisha government not to celebrate Utkal Dibas. What does they know about it? Will they dare to stop independence day celebration for election? Why do they stop celebrating Utkal divas? Is it not too much of control? How do they know what is close to us and what is not?
In the recent Varun gandhi controversy EC has asked BJP not to file varun gandhi. How can Ec reccomend whom to file and whom not?
Mosquitoes in Katak are dangerous and need to be treated carefully. So Katak Municipal corporation needs to clean the drains and kill the mosquitoes in Summer before it is too late (rainy season). EC has asked not to do any work in Katak.
I understand EC needs to ensure impartial election and stop the program which may alter the outcome. But why do anybody care about an election if election ensures her problem remains unsolved. EC needs to act in a more inclusive approach and need to emphasize with public.

Well said Sir. This is just like showing one's power to other. This is the only time the EC gets its maximum power and misuses to some time to score personal vendetta. One has to remember that the rules are made for the human being, not the converse.
