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

I think both the voters and politician are responsible for the criminalisation of the politics of a country because as we know it takes to two to make a quarrel. There should be a proper system of electing the proper candidate who has no criminal or corruption charges in the past should be given the right to contest the elections, secondly the people should think as nation and not as an individual while voting the candidate.

According to me, politicians are responsible for the crime because everything depends upon politicians if they want to close or ban on that thing which is effective for public they stopped it and about voters. Sometimes voters wrong but sometimes they do wrong about needs only. Politicians are responsible but some voter also.

Hi friends,

Illiteracy does not mean lack of awareness. This elections I saw enough evidence that people in the hinterland may have not gone to school but know how important it is for them to shun their prejudices and vote for a govt which is going to actually do something for them. They may not know how to spell democracy and development, but they sure know its significance. BJP's landslide win is ample proof especially in states of UP and bihar known to be deep in caste politics.

The underlying message is that change comes from within, since more than half of our population is between 25-35 years old, and with the advent of social media, no body could be called ill informed so as to make a meaningful choice.

Greater education levels will definitely help.

The least the Election commission could do is stop people having pending criminal records to contest. Rest is our own hands.

Hi, I am Ashish.

The term criminalisation of politics says mixing of criminals in politics. And voters, we, the responsible citizen of a great country we support a person who has a criminal record well known to us, just because, he come to us in our family programmes, helps us in our needs that time we never think about country, selfishness resides there, all human beings are quiet same.

But we forget, a person armed with a gun is good if he is a police outside our house but what if he is a terrorist? So, conclusively, we don't want to make the politics of our country full of criminal, but our greed opposes it.

We have to self evaluate, only then this criminalisation may come to an end in politics and we might have the historic leaders again.

Hi friends,

-> Voters may not be found fault every time because in some countries there is no option for people to elect, as they were forced to elect only some persons by monarchy form of govt.

-> Present political parties are in such a way that they want to invest a lot of money on behalf of elections so that they can refund their invested money in few days when they get the power.

-> For them to win they are attracting people by following mal practices.

-> So being a well educated we have to keep in mind who can serve people well and we have to vote for that person. Similarly all the well educate should illiterate people not to attract with any thing that is shown by political parties.

-> We should keep in mind "Political parties always try to cheat if people are ready to be cheated".

-> So vote the right person who enhances the prosperity of government.

I think people are responsible for the criminalization of politics because people are aware of their vote. Most of the illiterate people do not know the use of vote and they vote the people as a leader who give him money, alcohol and they sold their vote so, in this people are responsible.

Well friends being the citizen of a democratic country, and having right to vote each and every citizen of a country like India is also responsible for a corrupt government formation.

People are well aware today that if a good candidate wins the election, then definitely the citizen will get the return benefit to himself only.

If one person who is poor takes bribe by any political party to cast his important vote, it none other mistake of politician its the mistake of the vote caster because by his/her general thinking he can think that the person who is going in illegal and corrupt way now, how he or she can run a good government But those poor people don't think of that fact that time, and finally when govt becomes corrupt they start blaming that none of the parties that are running is good and all. So I ask those citizens that by whose selection government is formed.

I am not saying for a corrupt party only citizens are responsible but they take the most important initiative of selecting them. A govt is formed by the people and for the people. So everyone whoever is casts vote is equally responsible.

The situation today is not a consequence of anyone's (voters or politicians) mistakes it's a mutual effect.

Today we claim that our politicians are being corrupt but my dear friends let me remind you that in democracy the biggest strength lies in hands of people, today people have lost the interest of questioning the government and this casual attitude have resulted in making the government do anything. We as voters thing that our job is just to use our vote once in five years and then let the government handle it but it's not like that actually our job starts after that.

People shouldn't be afraid of government but government should be.

This situation reminds of a quote given by E. A Bucchianeri which states that "they say if you don't vote you get the government you deserve and if you vote you don't get the results which you expect ".

But my dear friends we need to change this and I feel yes we will be successful in doing it.

I support this notion as first of all in our country, proper participation of voters is not there. We have an average voting rate of almost 60 %. So first of all whole country is not choosing a government or a candidate only some of them are stepping up.

Secondly, voters play an important role in criminalising politics as they offer their votes in favour of money or other social favours. These criminals have power and money with them with which they provide stability to political parties plus influence over mass han beings.

Hai friends,

In my point of view, I'm not blame all voters are responsible for criminalization of politics because they might vote that the consideration of our country should be corruption free irresponsible person who don't think our country's welfare and they offer their vote in favor of money and other social favors.
