Why I call it ‘Rajneeti Ki Ganga’? Let me clarify that prior to proceeding over the article. It is said that Ganga cleans your sins and it same with the ‘Rajneeti Ki Ganga’, however sinful a person may be but once he comes in power, wins the election he gets clean cheat. Not exactly, but he starts getting counted in one of the white collared big heads of the town. He gets right to be present between the best business men of town or school / college inauguration and award functions. He starts getting invited as a chief guest on the prestigious occasions being held in the town and nearby area.
After this clarification let me concentrate on the figures of previous election and the leaders ruling us. The mentioned figures are taken from the ADR (Association For Democratic Reforms) website.
About 30% (162 of 543) MPs in Lok Sabha have pending criminal cases against them.
About 14% (76 of 543) MPs in Lok Sabha have serious pending criminal cases.
About 58% (315 of 543) MPs in Lok Sabha are crorepatis.
Only 11% (59 of 543) MPs in Lok Sabha are women.
Isn’t this figure kind of heartbreaking? And the fact is that it is increasing with every election. Comparing the figures from 2004 to 2009 it has increased and coming time will only tell what 2014 elections are going to bring for us. What are we doing? Why are we doing it? We have a right to vote and we are responsible for whom we select, so indeed it’s our mistake, the mistake of a common man to be selecting this kind of leaders. We need to wake up and decrease this figures in 2014, we have to use our vote wisely and select our leaders very very wisely. I surely understand that there is no clean cheated party, but party really needs to know that they must have clean cheat candidate in order to win. So, don’t think big, start with a small thinking, you don’t have to think which party is going to rule the country, you are just responsible to vote for a candidate from your area, who has a clean background and who is wise enough to be a leader. If every one of us will think in that way, I am sure the most deserving party will be the leader soon. We don’t want Modi, We don’t want Rahul, We neither could tolerate the drama of Kejriwal, we must wish only for the best deserving candidate. The person who brings out the best leaders in each and every part of the country, could only be our leader. Because looking closely on any picture, one political leader can’t make a true difference to the condition of country when he doesn’t have a good support.
Now let’s have a look at figures of election 2014, for the announced candidates of all the INC & BJP:
