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

Yeah, I agree that voters are responsible for criminalization of politics as it depends on the voter to cast their vote in the right direction. If the voter caste their vote according to the party which can perform well than the winning party will be leading towards growing this country. But some voters take bribes from the politician and caste their vote in the wrong direction due to which that one vote gets wasted. In a similar manner, if more people keep doing this then the party which win won't develop our nation and we will be bitching that the government is not doing anything. So people please vote in the right direction even a single vote can change the ruling government.

Thank you.

I do agree with the fact that voters are responsible. Because 20% of the people don't cast their votes and those who do, either have no idea of their own whom to vote, will go with the masses or will decide on the basis of caste and community.

And the politicians also promise too much before the elections., when time comes to put the words into action, they hardly remember anything.

In my opinion,

The statement is partially true. Not all of the voters just ask for social favors, or money in exchange for their vote. There is a finite set of voters who don't vote at all because they don't find a worthy candidate or N number of other reasons. I don't think that is a crime. Most of the politicians have a negligible set in the name of their educational qualifications.

The choice that is being offered at the time of elections is more of an illusion and less of a choice. And the ones who do participate in voting, are mostly needy people, they don't have another option, so is it wrong for them to choose what's best for them with a slightest possibility that their demands will be fulfilled?

Dear friends,

I will agree with all your points. But the only thing we should keep in our mind is that both voters and politicians should be responsible in their ways.

1). On one hand if we consider voters, they will get fascinated by the money what the politicians give before the elections. So that there me be a chance in electing the wrong person. This is the major mistake happening at the voters side.

2). On the other hand if we consider a politician, he will show some money interest to the people to get vote. And they will say that if they are elected then they will do all the things what they have promised.

If we think about it really if that politician is well trusted, why he wish to give money to people to get vote?

Because they are trying to get a seat. Not to work for the people. (Here I am considering only the politician who only gives money to people to get vote, but not all politicians).

So friends mistake is on both sides. As coin is having head and tail, here also the mistake existed from both sides i.e.,;both the voter and political parties are responsible for criminalization of politics.

Hey friends,

We human's greed and foolishness is what is the main cause fore the increase in the criminalization in politics. Many times we have seen that many politicians who have been charged for many criminal offenses gives a speech on the poverty and all stuffs which is a dame reason for the ruin of many peoples life, after hearing this kind of speech all feels that actually the politician is a good person. And we forget all the offenses charged on the politicians and we give our valuable votes to them and afterwards they loot us.

So basically I mean to say that we are the powerful people who gives other humans power to govern us. So I request all the person reading this please use your power properly because otherwise you are ruining everyone's some year. Voters use your power properly because this politicians are nothing without us.

In my opinion, I should say that both the voters and political parties are responsible for Criminalization of politics. But when it comes to the voters, they mainly misuse their vote in electing the wrong candidate. Many of the voters knew that their candidates are not responsible for bringing about a desirable change but they instead cast their vote to who so ever give them more money. Thus, in present democracy, Politics have somehow become like a business. So, it can be clearly said that the voters are the main causes of criminalization in politics since the voters are the root of modern Politics.

Hello friends,

I am totally disagree with people saying that political parties or politicians are responsible for Criminalization. How come people are making this type of statement.I would like to ask one and very simple question...why people vote them,if they are not good...And i wiil answer why..Because are not enough educated...they just put their votes based on community,cast,and parties.So What i am trying to say is...we should know the power of vote..We should come up instead of blaming any parties or anyone else.

According to me, politicians are responsible for criminalization of politics.

Voters, not Political Parties, are Responsible for the Criminalization of Politics can be treated as same as the gun, not the shooter, is responsible for killing a person. Politicians fearlessly take advantage of innocent people to accomplish their need or greed, whatever you say.

There has always been a dilemma in choosing government. There is about 80% corruption in the government. Do we voters have any other choice to elect any non corrupt party unless there is one. Voters choose government hoping that the government will surely live up to its promises. There may be some voters who take bribes and work in the favour. But that electorate does not account for much. We cannot take our frustration out on voters for the misdeeds or wrong doings of politicians. Stringent laws must be made to deter the politicians.

I understand the conditions of uneducated people in villages. So, the regarding information or knowledge must reach to these citizens either through some kind of special programmes or any other way. And stop blaming voters.

Hi.

In my opinion, the people who do not vote are responsible for this & I think if they are not willing to vote, they have not any right to criticize the elected one. If people are not happy with the candidate then they can use NOTA i.e. none of the above option but wasting the valuable vote is not the real solution for this.

Friends, I totally understand all of your points. Still in my opinion its the politicians who are responsible for crimilization of politics. We as a voter have the option to select from the given candidate-list only. But unfortunately almost all the candidates are already crimiliazed politicians. Some are new in this, while others are old enough with expertise in this field. More or less all are indulged in crime.

There is not even a single party with ALL its candidates 100% free from this dirt. As a result voters are left with no choices. In my opinion there should be a option for NOTA (none of the above) on voting machine. Plus it is the due responsibility of our ELECTION COMMISSION SYSTEM to lift off those criminals from the candidate list. Then only voters may use their veto-power to make "crime-free-government".

Thank you !
