Yes friends I thinks we really need a trained minister who can make strategy for all around development of our citizen. We have a lot of challenge to full fill like the problems of unemployment, poverty, illiteracy etc. I think this could only be achieved when we have a trained politician.

Obviously no. The young generation is very much aware of the politics and their ill effects on common man, and they will not tolerate any wrong decision taken by those (ministers) which cause harm to citizens. The reason why the tainted person not to allow for elections is because that since he is already tainted he will surely use his power to win the election and there is more probability of his winning. Why? Because we, the young generation, do not vote, and those vote are either unconscious or forcefully driven to vote for specific individual (obviously by feeding some money). So the result is clear. The tainted people have to come as winners because trained people are either pressed down or they don't contest elections.

So in order to save our (mother) India from those tainted (later become "corrupted politicians") we have not to allow those people fro elections.

Strictly speaking a big NO..why a minister who is tainted and is involved in sum short of corruption should be allowed to contest vote.And we have started against this .
NOTA-none of the above " this is what ANNA Hazare has asked the Election commissioner to feed in the EVM.So that if a voter finds any one tainted.he/she will not cast nd will choose NOTA.
How one who is tainted sholu be left free to decide the future of their electorate?

As all my friends have said, its really true. And why we should we take a risk, by selecting such so called leaders(politicians). Each and every one knows what actually is going on. even after knowing all these ,there are people who just for the sake of money vote such people. A single vote really values a lot. So, its our minimum responsibility to think twice before we vote, because of a single mistake everyone of us have to suffer. And no one has right to make others suffer, for the mistakes done by them.

I don't think that there is any need of tainted ministers because by knowing all the evil things prevailing around them, they remain silent. Why?

Only for money. Because of them only corruption is increasing day by day. So we must not vote them.

I totally agree with Mr. Ashwini Sinha. We should not allowed tainted ministers to contest elections, as giving more opportunities to them is like deteriorating the conditions of INDIA by our own hands.

I truly agree that tainted person can not be the minister.Youth is the biggest power of India so we will utilize it while choosing minister.I think the minister's background and character should be checked first.Like ANNA HAZARE's team,there should be group of people Who will find legal and loyal person among the nominated persons for ministry.The NOTA option should be there in EVM so youth can choose none of the above persons are eligible for ministry of INDIA.

I think the problem of tainted minister needs to be nipped in the bud at the stage of elections to the parliament/state assemblies. If no one who has corruption and other criminal cases pending against him/her is allowed to contest the election, the problem will be solved both at the legislative and executive levels. However, just the allegation of crime does not make someone corrupt or criminal. Often opponents and enemies of political leaders resort to making false allegations to prevent the person from contesting election. Here the problem lies with the courts which take years to decide on such allegations. Meanwhile candidates with corruption and criminal charges continue as legislators and some cases ministers. To solve this problem there should be a special Court only for political leaders, which should decide all such cases within a year. If it is not decided in a year, complaint should automatically lapse. In the present situation someone with serious charges continues as minister, MP and takes major public policy decisions. If later charges are proved and the person is penalised, decisions taken by him/her cannot be negated. Political parties should also carry some responsibility for this. It is a surprise why it should not be possible for political parties to find sufficient number of well qualified, experienced, honest and highly motivated candidates to fight elections on their behalf. Why parties are compelled to give tickets to persons highly tainted? It could be for financial reasons. In some countries the state provides finance to political parties to fight elections so that neither the candidate or the party needs to secure finance from others in return for favours.

With strong initiative by important political leaders these problems cand be greatly minimized, if not eradicagted alltogether.

Hello friends, according to me tainted ministers should not be allowed to contest election. A common person's decision is always better than the tainted person because he personally experiences that problems the peoples have. If tainted persons are allowed then they win the election by using his power and may rule the nation as he want.

I think that tainted politicians must not at all allowed to contest elections at all. And if they are allowed to do so them all criminals must be released from the jail to contest elections. Moreover these politicians are also corrupt as well. And I think that our present government should also think on this topic as there are only some leaders in the present who don't have any criminal cases and are also active in politics. Whenever I think on this topic I really get astonished that how are they standing in the elections.

Because letting them to contest elections means letting criminals to rule on our country as I had mentioned before. Has our government had allowed them to contest elections?Or has our constitution had allowed them to do so? you only think that what will happen to our country if it would ruled by criminals. Will our country progress? No not at all! So I request you all that if you are affected by my comment and wanted the progress of your country so please be at least somewhat of aggressive towards this topic. Because as you all know progress of our country results in our progress only! Hence this my 'HUMBLE' request to you all readers please think about this topic.
