“Sumitra Maurya did not withdraw from the Gandhinagar race. But Chauhan who had made the video did. An aspiring politician who runs a small painting business, he was born in Etawah in Uttar Pradesh and moved to Gujarat in 1998. “Two of my clients have already cancelled their contracts with me since my withdrawal,” he said. “They got scared. I’m afraid my business will shut down.”

[…]

On April 21, Chauhan alleged, four men from the Crime Branch followed him everywhere in Ahmedabad. “They even harassed four of my 10 proposers,” he said. “They told me, ‘Take care of yourself and your children. Politics is not your business.’ When I returned home, I felt like they wanted to put me under house arrest. That’s when I made the video that night and uploaded it on my Facebook page.”

World’s largest democracy.

    @adnan Why does Trump still insist he won 2020 elections? Why did they block INC’s bank accounts or insert a murder charge into that Indore candidate’s 17 year old case in court? Or why jail Kejriwal?

    Most don’t get it. There’s no logical reason other than absolute power corrupts absolutely. Sometimes you go overboard just because you can, not because you need to.
