I agree with this that politics is run by the barrel of gun corruption has always been on high state and this corruption has lead to won many votes illegally for them. They use all unfair means and all the illegal methods such as getting bully purchasing votes from innocent people in remote areas. And in many cases asking votes on gun points. Again this is the cause of selecting a right politician who can stood all against 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, 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.

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.

I don't think in present modern era this happens widely but it is in areas of Maoists and other backward regions where people are not educated and they have deficiency in aspects like money, proper laws and regulations, police control.
In these people we can see that these are weak people and the weaker you will be more chances are there for undue influence on you by any superior person.

POLITICS can't be run by the barrel of a gun. Because now a day cost of the bullet have increased and gun without a bullet is waste.
Citizen are vigilant toward what government is doing. Media is playing an important role in spreading information. Now literacy rate in the country has increased people have come to know about their rights. So the politics of gun can't survive more.

I think politics is run by the barrel of the gun because rich industrialists and politicians often end up exploiting the law. Rigging is now common not only in rural but also urban areas. Voters particularly the extremely poor ones are being bribed and laws are broken by the politicians themselves in various possible ways which is making the common man irascible.

Hi.
In my point of view, politics is run by the barrel of a gun. Just because of if a man commits a crime it becomes the subject of news. And media advertise that man.
It also runs by money and wine. Some people are addicted to wine and they can do anything for wine. Even they are ready to vote that person who can give them some wine. It is a bitter truth.

Hai all,
In my point, education not only influence the people in choosing the right candidate in election. Some educated people also get money for casting their vote. Now a days social media like TV channel greatly influence the people in voting.
Education cannot make the politics to run under barrel of gun, it also depends upon individual perception.
