Any respectable non-corrupt political party that believes the EC has been corrupted by the BJP surely must stand down from any political positions it has gained recently in a democratic process handled by the same EC. Otherwise it just looks like a case of hypocrisy. EC good when we win, EC bad when we lose.
No body just votes for anybody. If someone is less educated doesn't mean they don't deserve to be heard.
Kerala has the highest literacy in India. Literacy doesn't automatically translate to educated, quality of education is pivotal. The state I come from has one of the highest literacy rate in India, but I'd hardly consider myself more educated than other people in the same domain. Why ? Because unlike people in larger cities I don't have exposure to a wide talent pool or a wide employer pool. End result : limited on-ground knowledge, book worm at best, book worm with arrogance at worst.
