[QUOTE="dalbirk, post: 159461, member: 6456"] ECONOMICS OF THE DERAS : I wish to clear some plain facts about the mushrooming growth of Deras especially in Punjab . The mother of this is elecoral politics . It is a known fact that in Indian elections votes r sold at a price to political parties , however the exact modus operandi is unclear to many . This is how it works : There r following political elections held in all states but rates mentioned r specific to Punjab only ; 1.
