CAN DEMOCRACY BE A RELIGIOUS TRADING COMMODITY?

For quite sometime we Indians find that leaders of different religions bargaining with political parties for the wholesale of votes of the followers of the respective religions to them as a consideration for certain give and take or reimbursement. Leaving some mild opposition here and there no any serious interference can be found against this from the people. The fundamental function of the religious leader is the charector formation of the members of the respective religions, teaching the faith, explaining the text of the Holy Books, leading the worship etc. In a democratic country, do they have the right to offer the votes en masse to any political party for any consideration is something to be seriously discussed. But it has become a practice in our country despite the fact that casting of votes under free will is the fundamental right in a democratic nation by every citizen. This right is being tried to trade by some third party sellers and buyers. I don't know whom should I request to prevent this; the Legislature, the Executive, the Judiciary or the Media.
