Finally our democracy has been sold by political parties for votes. They have divided a state without even realizing the kind of heritage and power it would have if the people of both sectors stay united. Lok Sabha speaker claims that due to a technical error they were not able to telecast the happenings of the house.The people of India were kept in the dark and did not know what was spoken during the passing of an important Bill which involves two new states to be formed.

It is surprising how the main opposition party BJP suddenly rendered their support to the bill. We all clearly know that this is a game plan to reckon votes in the new Telangana state. The statement of Sushma Swaraj did disappoint many who were waiting for a united AP. Sushma was same person who said that a bill with legal lacuna cannot be passed. She was strongly against the bill being passed without the amendments being made. Nobody can forget Narendra Modi saying that India needed a 'Congress Mukt Bharat'. He was considering this bifurcation process to be yet another manifestation of a 'Divide and Rule Policy' of Congress. Then how was the party able to support a bill that is constitutionally flawed ???

Our honorable Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde who piloted the AP reorganization bill mentioned that it is common for the parliament to function in this manner. He said that these kind of things keep happening. The heavy police security at the parliament only reminds us of what happened on the 13th of December 2001. Back then it was an attack by enemies of a foreign land and now it is our glorious democratic tradition that is under attack.

Here is the new definition for democracy. Not letting MPs speak, blacking out live telecast, marshals all around, closed doors, section 144 outside the parliament, refusal to hear voices of dissent, not letting any division or vote on amendments as is prescribed in the rule book and not allowing any debate on merits of the bill. May god save us since we cannot rely upon our politicians anymore !!!
