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

Yes, As per the citizen of India we are responsible of in our political system, we are become very flexible at the time of election, when giving vote to the different candidate, We have the right to choose the best candidate or reject them but we will choose those candidate those are giving the greedy things to us and we will give vote them. This is the political scenario of our country, first we have to take our responsibilities that give vote to the right people so that we can aspect them they will give good governance to us, or reject them so that they will not get another chance of becoming the minister.

Friends, my basic thought is.

Yes voters do play important role in political system but they do not have right to decide about who will contest the elections.

& the other thing is like other governmental professions politics does not asks about educational qualification it only asks about age & nationality. So those who are fulfilling these 2 "qualifications" are allowed to control our country.

And we all are aware about many other manipulations in our administrative set up.

So my stand is, more than voters other factors like knowing some party members/head etc influences the politics more.

Hi all,

It will be inappropriate to put all blame on voters and leave the political parties with a clean chit. But a voter is responsible to the same extent if not more to choose a tainted leader. The reasons are many - caste based politics, money power, fear, unavailability of better options, illiteracy, unawareness, helplessness, robin hood image of candidate, historical legacy etc.

It can be said that if a voter votes to a criminal its not because he/she is not logically sound but because the means to reach a logical & sensible choice is hampered by many factors. Some of them are stated above.

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.

In our country politics are becoming worst. We don't know how whom to you have vote. In our country politicians are very negligible people they do unwanted things for people. So today rice cost is 1RS/kg. And other things like bus charges and railway charges and daily needs rates were increasing.

But no one should ask and no one should bother about this. They are like what want do want to do they do in this way the people are thinking. But some people are suffering for this situation.

Any way friends choose your correct leader for the sake our country. Be think and vote for the politicians.

You will tell me what would people of the country do if the politicians standing in elections are all just not up to the mark.

Yes, one would think of NOTA (None Of The Above). But what happens if NOTA tops maximum votes, it is the second highest party who wins the position. Here since we are assuming no parties are good still we have a party elected. What happens next? We are on the hands of criminalized politicians.

Which concludes that criteria for standing in elections should be made strict be it education background or experience. So that people won't refrain from voting any party.

Now a days we can see that people do not vote on the basis of agenda, corruption. They do not even know the individual person for whom they are voting. They only know about the political parties and basis on this they vote. For these reason the corruption is increasing day by day. As a whole no political party is bad but there are some individual in every party who is corrupted and these persons make the name of the parties bad and increase corruption. We voters should not give them vote. So, I think we are also responsible for this miserable condition of our country.

Hello what my opinion is that India is a nation where democracy pervades. So, democracy means 'by the people for the people'. So with the people's support, a candidate vying for a seat gets elected. So, if a tainted politician gets the mandate then the people are to blamed. This has necessitated the need for making people aware and education is the only means without which these divisive politicians will play dirty politics by polarising, duping or exploiting credulous people. So edifying the people is the only solution, else they have to pay the price.

Hi, this is Samyuktha.

In my point of view, voters mean just electing the leader by voting their votes by the common people. They are just under the leading of their caste-based leader.

Some of the voters vote to the caste leader even if they are rowdy.

Due to people unawareness among them. Some political leaders also giving the funds to the caste-based people at the time of elections.

This is most criminalization in our politics.

So, I conclude that the government should take necessary steps by avoiding the taking money and voting to their leader.

According to me politics means To Rule. It doesn't matter how good one can be, it is the nature of politics to make dictator and greedy and criminal person out of good one.

This is some kind of pool of crabs if one wants to get out of it other will not allow him to do so. You can't just deny from ruling if you are in politics.

Voters just choose their dictator by giving votes and then same thing happens whether its democracy or dictatorship. Voters are not much responsible for criminalization of politics but its corrupt nature of politicians.
