Voters, not Political Parties, are Responsible for the Criminalization of Politics

As per my opinion, yes this is voter who is responsible for criminalization of politics b/c we are the person who elect to them by casting our votes. We should not forget we are living in a democratic country where governance is of the people, by the people and for the people.

We voters have right given to us by our constitution to elect our representative but if are electing the wrong candidate based on their cast or some personal benefit then we are solely responsible for our backwardness not politician, they are also part of this society. They are just using us to get power and then exploit resources for all five years.

It is seen that, even if some MP or MLA is found to be corruption charges against them, we again elects such person in the next election. And this encourage them to do more corruption.

So want to say that this is not politician but we people are responsible for corruption b/c we cast our vote to inappropriate candidate who do not have good background.

Hi everyone.

I think both political parties and the voters play some role in corrupting the political parties. Voters play their part by not voting or voting for the wrong person. But the major part is played by the party member. As soon as they come to power they start filling their pockets. They become greedy and self-centered.

Also the voters don't have much of a choice. They have to choose between more greedy party and less greedy party.

Hi, Friends.

Our politicians before taking bribes, they first bribe the people (voters).

Before corrupting themselves they first corrupt voters with all kinds of gifts like money, liquor, drugs etc.

This is the dance of democracy in our country.

Now voters have no choice to question them after elections. In fact many poor people wait for elections because it's a feast day for them.

All are responsible for making elections a dirty game.

If we consider our constitution as our Holy Book then the politicians who are elected are the guardians of our constitution.

If the guardians are robber's, culprits, briber's then how safe our democracy will be?

This should be understood by a voter before casting his sacred vote. When voter realizes this n stops criminalizing himself then the real change will take place.

Then only India will Shine.

Hello everyone,

Voters are only partially responsible for criminalization of politics. The main problem doesn't lie in the choices of the voters but the options available for choice. In maximum case we are unable to decide about whom to cast the vote because all nominees are equally selfish and corrupted.

Voters don't decide that who should be the competitors of Representatives, they only get to choose among the choices available. Apart from this, a large section of voters do not use their logic but rely on their on own tiny gains. So only way to reduce criminalization of politics is to screen the nominees.

First of all we need to stop blaming any one (voters or politician) in this matter. We live in a democratic country, means the power is in the hand of the people of our country. We can't blame Politician because they are not from any other world or from other country, they are from one of us. We can't blame either the voters, because they can vote only to available options.

If any one is responsible for the criminalization in India, that is the people of this country. We always try to by pass our system. Every one want their priority on other and for that we are always ready to give bribe, go against law. These are criminal activity. But we say that, No that much is fair and not a crime.

Come On guys, these small activities are responsible for those big scams and criminal activity. We make our system like this. Now a Days these guys have no fear of law in them while they do these activity. Because they know that they will come out of that very easily.

We can't blame any one for these. IF we want the corruption free India, we have to start from Zero level, we need to start it from our self.

I should primarily say that we are in democracy and in democracy voters are behind every positive and negative happening because they choose their ministers to rule on behalf of them. So if there is crimilisation in politics then voters are the reason who ignited it. If they would have boycott criminals through voting then such situation would never arrive. But we can say our voters do not have vast thinking, they just think for their own or their surrounding. So we cannot totally blame voters but they are too reason for it.

As far as political parties are concern I agree with deepak view that they take in confidence voters. Hence major reason for criminalisation in politics is political parties but we cannot ignore the role of voters for boosting these parties to do so.

Most of the rural area people have no access to media or news so how can they judge the parties without any knowledge so there is probability that they can vote for wrong candidate. So point is our information system should be improved.

My experiences say that for all the criminalization we ourselves and voters are responsible. We must understand the value of our votes and choose those leaders who are aware of the work done by real leader of particular's country not for his own greed. We as a citizen became a responsibility to elect a good leader who should think for our country than for his own greed.

We are in flow of emotion we give our votes to those who are of our same caste or they are our neighbourhood or of same villages and town but this is not always mean that they would think for countries development. For example:- In country like INDIA, all citizens were demanding that the should be corruption less work but the people in solving their personal problem they try every means and give money as a corruption person to gov. Employees or any other so that his /her work should be completed as early as possible so it only increases the spirit of corruption not of corruption less so how a people of INDIA could demand for corruption less country if they would not give a money to gov. An employee or any other members then definitely the corruption should be less. In the same way, the voting is also affecting the politics if we elect a responsible person as any MLA/MP then he/she must think for the welfare of country.

According to me voters are nor responsible for criminalization of politics because.

1. Most of the rural area people have no access to media or news so how can they judge the parties without nay knowledge so there is probability that they can vote for wrong candidate. So point is our information system should be improved.

2. And also when come to forming governmenet party need majority of seats else you need to make mix government then those state parties will dominate the government in to there favor by giving the treat to withdraw there support from the party.

This lead to corrupted system. So voters are not responsible our system is responsible.

Hai friends, In my point of view politicians are responsible for the criminalization of politics they are not working for the benefit of people they work only to fill their own pockets. We can't blame people to elect them because we have a option only to select from the rotten eggs. We can only select which is not worst rotten. But now I am happy for NOTA option we can throw all these politicians out of politics if we use correctly.
