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

Hello friends,

In my view sometimes people support a bad leader under the influence of pressure or bribe or any offer by the candidate, it may hamper our politics.

On the other hand, our EC (Election Commission) may not give candidature to that type of criminal or corrupted type of candidates. That means in this case clear and criminal free candidate only given the ticket.

There is not 'a' factor but rather multiple factors that is responsible for careless voting and bad politician (bad in terms of bad governance or using unethical & immoral means to serve their purposes).

First of all EC can restrict the so called criminal candidates by filtering them out, but the problem is that it will take a lot of manpower & time to cross check the backgrounds of all the candidates thoroughly and will also increase the financial burden of the government making it practically not possible to do so (India's expenditure in election is already one of the highest in the world). So here is a LOOPHOLE that gives a chance for criminals to be a part of politics.

Another is that, once they are up in the election they use all means to gather votes irrespective of its legality, morality or ethics.

Also, voters gives their votes to them because of greed (greed may be because of necessity or luxury) or fear (both greed n fear is a natural feeling for the humans evolved during time).

Hence it won't be fair to blame voters or the candidates, as in my opinion both are responsible and also some loopholes in our system.

So with this I would conclude my statement.

Hi Friends,

In my opinion the primary motto of parties is to win the elections and to reign, so they will never choose a candidate whose probability of winning is low. Public has to choose the kind of leaders they want in their government. If they will stop voting according to the gifts given by the politicians and will choose the deserving candidate, then criminalisation of politics may stop.

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.

In my point of view voters are also responsible for the criminalization of politics !

India is a democratic country where people have right to elect the leader directly ! We have a great weapon in our hands! But people are misusing this by taking bribe and they casting their votes to criminal political parties!

Recently NOTA system is also introduced which is great boon to voters! If people don't like any political leaders they can cast their NOTA vote!

In other side people are electing political leaders on the basics of caste, religion which leads to criminalisation of politics!

I have also another example to support my views!

In India their is trend that if a person is politician then his son or daughter will also become politician! People are mainly responsibly for this ! They will cast their vote by seeing their family background.

All these aspects get together strengthening criminalisation of politics!

First of all I glad to present my opinion at this important social-political topic.

- Due to casting their vote at the base of religion, caste, regionalism and language and other social evils like them those affect politics directly.

- But it is the not an act of offence. Its shows their innocent behaviour towards themselves only.

- To get rid off of this behaviour "Proper Education" can be take place.

- Media also can play an important role but yet not they made it in a proper way.

- In such of case educated politician must required having some moral qualities.

So not only voters should be alleged but environment is also responsible for criminalisation of politics.

Hello friends,

I think that many of political leaders are main responsible because their expenditure is more for getting votes and they give money for arrangements of meetings and also brides to voters and they try to recollect all the money and start corruption and during elections voters are also tuned to do corruption. So I state that BOTH are responsible for corruption.

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.

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.

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.
