What are the implications of NGOs attempting to influence polls

NGOs aligned with Congress were accused by BJP of attempting to influence polls in the country.
  • Violates democratic principles: Attempting to influence polls undermines the fairness and integrity of the electoral process, which is fundamental to democracy.
  • Erosion of trust: Such actions can lead to a loss of trust in NGOs and their activities, ultimately discrediting their work in other areas.
  • Legal implications: NGOs could face legal consequences if found guilty of tampering with election processes, damaging their credibility and reputation.
  • Polarization: Involvement of NGOs aligned to political parties can deepen political polarization in the society, creating division and conflict among citizens.
  • Regulation: The incident may lead to calls for stricter regulation and oversight of NGOs to prevent them from engaging in such activities in the future.
