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.

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.

The methodology of election at present is favoring criminals to come to power. Unless
we seriously think of a radical electoral reform our democracy is in jeopardy and it is a well known open fact. Before the election they act like enemies,but after the election they fool the citizens and go together. Coalition trick. I read somewhere that above 38% of the contested candidates were crorepatis and most with criminal cases. Once they are in power they say parliament is supreme. We do whatever we wish. Whom to blame?.

True, people are responsible of giving criminal a way into politics. Its the people who are the most communal because the promote and propagate such ideologies.
Thought true that not all of the population acts that way but not rejecting such mindset straight out has given criminals a chance to divide the society on communal lines.
Though such a situation can be changed if the political issues get changed to more concerning issues such as development, employment and geopolitical issues concerning India.

Hello everyone,
I think that both are equally responsible for today's India's condition. Now a days we see that people are becoming careless about the elections, many times they do not vote or give vote to anyone without seeing that person's background. This increases criminalization in politics.
That's why I think that people should be aware of whom they are voting.
On the other hand political parties are also responsible for this thing. That we cannot blame only any one of them.

It is well known that when a team loses its captain is always pointed. Same is the case here the top leaders are pointed. I am not saying that all are sincere but we from our side should not go by political party rather we shall from our own should now that which leader is working for upliftment of our area and I am sure that there is always one in every city. If every Indian thinks alike this will bring a new race of politicians and which in turn the face of our country.

Our 33% population is below poverty line, and we all know how the votes are bought by politician only to win the elections, we can not say that all politicians are doing the same but most of them doing. One most important thing that people are not having any option to vote to all parties of same kind, if they would have given any alternative to experiment other parties at central level then there may be completely different turnout. Because people are more aware now.

From my perceptions voters are also responsible for increasing criminalism in politics. We can see in our political system a strong but criminal candidate contest in election and he elected a big majority just because of our voters because voters don't think about good candidate he only think whose candidate fulfil my short term benefit just like money, liquor anything. So its depends on voters to elect a good candidate. And eliminate corrupt candidate.

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.

Hello friends, ELECTION FEVER IS ON EVERYBODY'S MIND. In country like India where political party is freely chosen by people of country, so if there is corruption scams criminal activities and terrorism it is the people of country who are ultimately responsible for these activities as they have chosen government which favours such type of activities. These political parties do nothing to check situation as they themselves are not in trouble.
