Madam, I need your indulgence. One more point is the strengthening of the office of the Election Commission. The Election Commission of India is poorly equipped with whatever resources are at its disposal. They have no manpower. They have to borrow manpower from everywhere and from every corner. Now, see the local body elections. I have given you the example. They do not have EROs. They answer people in this way. EROs have a lot of responsibilities lying on their shoulders and they do not respond to the people. Form-6, Form-7, Form-8, everything is there. Theoretically and ideally, everything is there. We can show it to the world. But practically, nothing is experienced. What is happening? Is this universal adult franchise being practised that way? Those who have completed 18 years are considered as qualified. Qualifying dates have been given by the Election Commission. … (Interruptions) The Election Commission has come out with qualifying dates as 1st of January, 1st of April, 1st of July and then 1st of October. On these dates, those who are completing 18 years, they are given chance as first time voters. Is it taken up that way? Do their names appear in the voter list? This is the maximum percentage we see. People, those youngsters, who are deprived of their first time chance, what will they think and how will they carry the responsibility on their shoulders to build a strong India? This is the question that arises in the minds of the youths of our country.
