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

Hello everyone.

Not all but many of the voters are responsible too. Because many of the voters cast their vote without making efforts to know the background, wealth, criminal cases against the standing MP candidates.

Also many voters cast their vote after getting money. Many voters vote according to wave.

I am also of the opinion to some extent the voters are responsible, but here we need to differentiate the voters as literate and illiterate. The actual guilt is of the literate one who for some amount of money, or some personal benefit go for casting vote to non deserving candidate. Even sometimes negligibility on part of voters favouring election is one of the reason for the criminalization of politics. We being the youngsters need to spread this information that it is our one vote which will make the difference. We need to do campaigns in the rural areas and even in the urban areas to disseminate the information the with this one power of ours how we can make our lives and livelihood easy and wroth.

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.

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.

I want to share two points.

1. Most of the population of India are lived in village. Village voters follow their cast system. The vote to candidate who belongs to their cast without knowing about whether that person will be capable of fulfilling their needs.

2. We should modify some laws against politician to conduct election. Like there should not be any criminal case on them. And that action is already takes place.

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.

Good Evening friends,

To my point of view, voters are responsible to some extend because it starts with them only, with their vote. That one vote which they think does not matter if I caste it to my known person.

We being citizen of such a growing country, do have knowledge of everything, but not of politics. We take it as a holiday, sit at home and watch tv. There are many people in there who don't think of casting vote. Reason. It will waste time, what matter whomsoever win they will do nothing after coming to power and they really don't do it what they say.

So according to me, we need to change our mind, we need to stand for this and if we will not now, we will never because the way these politicians are eating our country wealth, our future generation will left with nothing.

Thank you.

Yes I would stone favour of it at the time of election they are seen. And when the election pass away they disappeared. According to me. The politician are not only responsible for it we all are also responsible for it.

Both Voters and Political Parties, are Responsible for the Criminalization of Politics.

1. In India democracy country has right to select right candidate as a leader. But sometimes voters takes benefits at the time of elections and sell their vote to resp party. They do not even think that the money which they spend on you to vote, after election leader going to recover it. Then again we support for corruption.

2. Political parties is also responsible for the Criminalization of Politics. Political parties should have factors for selecting vote candidate for example education and criminal background, age limit, casteism. Etc.

Professional politician should be educated. For example educational minister should be doctorate. Agricultural minister should have at least degree from rural management. Etc. Without proper knowledge how can leader run country.

Age limit is also most imp factor. Most of the professional candidate are above 75 age who are not physically fit. They should give chance to to young who are educated and also senior politician share their experience because in future it will help them to run country.

Caste ism a serious obstacle in the functioning of democracy. Many of the professional politicians exploit Caste ism and at election time ask the people to vote for them on caste considerations and they also succeed in their evil designs.

Solution for these people should vote the right candidate and political parties should improve morals & ethics.

Hello everyone.

In my view, voters are in a way responsible for criminalization in politics because if we exercise our responsibilities properly and look upon the politics in India then of course we would be at the conclusion of choosing the best among the political parties. Every individual should have enough knowledge about our political system.
