Elections are to democracy what heart-throbs are to life.
Neither should be fast or slow in their beats. When elections are sparse in time, democracy must be said to have gone hibernating. In other areas a decade seems to be the normal period between two elections. The capital of India, Delhi, it seems, at times does not deserve local government and the villages cannot move court for their Panchayats . The Chief Election Commissioner, who is there just for holding elections, postpones elections at the very last moment rendering all the preparations made for the purpose an exercise in futility.
