Please read the above news item first.

If there are betting organizations people can bet which party will win the elections, which specific candidate will win or lose, just to cite a few, and then assign the winnings (if any) to organizations which devote themselves to help the poor and needy. If there are no betting organizations for such bets somebody like Cho or Subramaniam Swamy can start such. Good-hearted people can enter into this innocuous betting and assign the potential winnings (even while placing the bet) to their charitable organizations. The money collected from all bettors go into the pot to pay the winners and hence it is socialistic in concept.
