Just like in a fixed match, not every catch is dropped. Some catches are taken, and the match may even be dragged to the last over to make it look like a close fight.
In the same way, you will be handed a few wins, just enough to keep you contesting and to make people believe there was a real contest. Those few wins are the crumbs that keep you in the game and make the whole thing look legitimate.
For opposition:
Yes, elections are being rigged. But when you continue to participate in rigged elections, you legitimise these elections and help maintain the illusion that they are free and fair.
Maybe you keep contesting because you fear that if you don’t, you will stop existing. But what kind of existence are you trying to protect when votes are being stolen, your MLAs and MPs are being poached, and your parties are being split?
This is not political survival. You are simply trying to stay alive in a system that can weaken you, split your party or take away your elected representatives whenever it wants. How long can you survive like this?
And you cannot talk about election rigging only when it happens in states that matter to you and remain silent when it happens elsewhere. If elections are being rigged, it should matter regardless of the state or which party is affected.
You cannot keep saying the game is rigged while continuing to play it. Your participation is the only thing that gives these rigged elections legitimacy.
Think about the nation and its democracy before thinking about your own political survival. Take a stand and stop participating in rigged elections.

@theliverdoc The institutes are very clever in this. They don't even release the official duty roster. Everything is verbal, and it's happening in 99% of colleges. Residents are forced to work and they also don't wanna mess up as they have to study for 3 years.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS
ED Raids Conclude at Chandigarh’s Sector 39 (House No. 926) and Punjab Minister Hardeep Singh Mundian’s Nephew’s Residence.
ED teams left both locations empty-handed.
The panchnama states: “No incriminating document was recovered and seized.”
@DrDhruvchauhan The problem is this has become acceptable among all. My wife visited her HOD regarding the 36 hours duty and HODs response was: "Hamne bhi apne residency me kiya hai. Tmhe kyu problem hai"
