Politicians know all the way to attach the peoples in their party.

Following are some way to manipulate peoples.

- By giving false PRECEPT.
- By showing false PROGRESS.
- By giving the NEEDS of poor peoples.
- By BUYING them.
- By BLAME one another.
- By PARTITIONING them.

And if any of these does not work, they run politics by the Barrel of GUN, which is only possible in backward areas.

Yes, I agree that politics is run by barrel of gun. Its almost common for a criminal to run for elections. Politicians at times use force to get votes. The police is hand in glove with them. It is understood that the police looks the other way when such coercion occurs.

Corruption is choking India. Corrupt politicians, to stay in power, hire thugs to threaten the poor and helpless to vote for them.

Hi, Guys!

It's great to hear your valuable opinions upon such a controversial topic.

In my opinion, it is the bitter truth that politics is run by the barrel of a gun these days. We live in a democratic country where governance is created through the process of voting. Looking behind the curtain we say a darker side of politics ie the application of guns and muscle power in order to seek the votes.

We all are well aware of the fact that most of the MP's & MLA's have criminal records entering into politics to clean their image along getting indulged into various scams.

No one has the power to stop them, nobody questions them because their business runs through the fear created by them in the minds of the public. I do feel that "Power of Ballot is more than the power of Bullet " ie if we people join hands and decide not to vote such criminals then surely our political system will be improved and we will have a better governance for the nation.

Thankyou!

As per my point of view politics are run by barrel of gun. Because people in politics are just to get lots of money. They only think about themselves and their family.

They just use their authority to bye votes from people. But if people are aware this thing will not happen. We should not let them to do this.

Hi friends,

In my opinion, it has nothing to do with the urban or rural area, it has to do with the kind of social setup prevalent where we live. Even the goons & miscreants in urban areas dictate terms & ensure a smooth way up for the criminal turned politicians. Excessive voting by outsiders & multiple votes being issued at the same address is nothing else but a product of politics run by barrel of guns!

Yes politics involves barrel of gun. Politicians for votes are indulge in bad and indecent practices take innocent lives. But barrel of gun in sense to ensure social justice, moral rights and laws implementation is required.

Yes, I would stone favour of it that today politics run by the barrel of the gun because the first thing is that there is no parameter to join in politics only needed thing is that you should be the inhabitant of India so politics become the roost of all the hooligan because its better way for them to join it. Whats the character of someone is difficult to determine without any parameter. You may take instance of some big wig of the countries who seems to be a leader but in the guise of it they are different one. Who is leader?according to the maxim of Dale carnige"if your actions inspire others to dream more, do more and become more then you are a leader". Whose character inspires us, nobody's. Many leaders are in countries who has been charged for the crime, assassination, defalcation etc. Eventually, I will estate a line for the leaders that "they have more hairs than wit, more faults than hairs and more money than faults" which they use to dictate us.

Politics is meant for the betterment of the people of the country. If a rule is to passed, all the elected members should discuss about the pros and cons and then jump to any conclusion.

But there are many cases where the results are affected by the barrel of gun, ie gun power. Not only in passing the laws, some politicians use it to save themselves from crimes.

Many politicians have a good track record. But there are some politicians who have a FIR registered against them in the police station and they still are free because they have the power of the gun.
