The odd part

Democracy is now a loading bar that never reaches 100% as bureaucrats check if your grandfather's 1971 signature matches the current wind speed.

What happened

In a feat of administrative efficiency, 60 lakh voters in West Bengal have been placed 'under adjudication' during a Special Intensive Revision. These citizens are currently in a state of 'democratic suspended animation,' where they are neither voters nor non-voters until a micro-observer decides their 'logical discrepancies' are resolved. This ensures the electoral roll remains as pristine and empty as a government official's Tuesday afternoon schedule.
