Let us not blame the politicians. We Indians are to blame for our rot. We donot evaluate the parties, their performance, their agenda before we vote. Instead, we vote based on their caste, religion, region. This reduces their accoutability. So, they do not perform. Finally, we end up loosing.
This is all because of un-educated masses. Just look at the western countries where the politicians are chosen after much debate and are held accountable.
We Indians are mostly illiterate. We make mess of everything. We make our streets dirty. We do not follow traffic rules. We are impatient, restless, fighting over petty things. We lack team spirit. We do not deserve right to vote. We have messed up democracy. Actually, most of us do not deserve to live. I wonder what made Britishers to come to India to rule this crowd.

right all indians to be blamed for this situation. Major part of the blame goes to MK Gandhi.
only national parties like Cong, BJP, CPM, CPI, should be allowed to contest for loksabha polls. these local parties are destabilizing the nation. they should be restricted to only assembly polls

local parties are in the fray because national parties are not delivering. When national parties are not delivering, it is ok to have a fractured verdict.

Okay! we take your advice and donot vote for BJP. But you have not given an alternative. Should we vote for a party which promotes the likes of Mukhtar Ansari, the Don? Or, the Kongress which revokes Red Corner Notice against eyetalian criminal O.Q.? Or should we vote for SP which would make us uneducated by removing English and Compterisation? Or, MNS of Raj Thackerey, or DMK or Hurraiyat or RJD of fodder-eaters or .......?
Hopefully BAJAPA will be different. Concept od looting has nothing to do with regional or national party. If the national parties have workable agenda, people will vote for national parties and not regional parties. That is how a national party should try to get rid of a regional party.
the minor parties like bsp/ lalu/ left/ sp/ are all looking through a very narrow prism. with the exception of left- every other party in these small time gmable are highly corrupt

don't vote for regional or national party with wrong outlook/policies/agenda.
I agree broadly with Mr. Shourie. It was in this sense, I gave some suggestion for change in election procedures. One cant expect all citizen to be capable of assessing fitness of a candidate for gocerning the nation.
Indian parliamentary voting system need sto change. May be adapt to the US system. Only then the machinations of Karunanidhi, Lallu, Mayavathi, Paswan, Pawar, CPM etc can be thwarted and we will have a strong govt at the Centre which will look at India as Bharath. The criminals having a say in the affairs of the nation will cease. Cong is definitely not interested, Is BJP interested? No idea.............

Viswa, these goons will then form very strong lobbies and the Govt. will still have to work the way they want.
The quality of our politics is a product of the quality of the electorate.
Arun Shourie is right .This country moving downwards.There is no collective mandate for the whole country.The rise of regionalism is threat to the country as such .We can feel that its slowly disintegrating into pieces of nations.Common man is only worried about his living.The rich industrialists on the other manipulate and extract the maximum from the customers (common man).There is no end for the rat race.This country will not survive another 50 years ????
