A criminal record is passport to success in politics

I read about this survey in the morning. It makes me think are we really using our brains while electing these ministers. B)

I don't know what to say on it. .This is why our politics and politicians have bad reputation. I hope this will change some day.

Politics is going to be left for criminals only one day soon. No sober people with self respect would want to involve in that kind of stinking trash.

But I wonder which job is less suitable to criminals. A plain honest person is always less successful. People with criminal mind succeed everywhere.

Some of the modern day politicians are criminal.This is not good for the country.

Politicians alone are not criminal. In the past, the capitalists and criminals helped politicians. Now they directly participate in politics.

That is the reason common man does not find any reasons to vote, not his fault.

The poorer sections generally vote. The super rich and professionals only discuss in drawing room but do not go to polling booths. Presence of criminals in election is no reason for not casting votes. Every candidate is not criminal. One must vote against such criminals. I remember that a few years ago, a known strongman with some criminal image was a contestant. The strong candidate against him belonged to a party that I would never support. But even then I voted against that muscleman and voted for the candidate whose party and ideology I could never support.

It is a serious cause for concern that the individuals with criminal background are becoming successful politicians. I feel that one of the reasons for their success is that often many people who can make a differences consider politics as a dirty game and leave it in the hands of these criminals. I feel that such attitudes needs to be changed.

Actually the criminals are more effective also. They will easily help their voters in any way. Now suppose that you visit an honest M.P. for some job like recruitment or gun licence or some thing, he may be reluctant and not do your job. But the criminal will do your job and also persuade you to give him something as these days no work is possible without some payment. Thus the criminal will get more supporters.

In India politics and criminal tendencies go hand in hand, look at the way an election is fought with false promises ,violence, money and liquor . That itself shows that politics has become the playground for criminally minded and unless the EC does something drastic it will only get worse !

If EC thinks of any reformatory measures to clean the cesspool , very next moment, he will be transferred to Dandakaranya.

A survey says that criminal past record is a plus point in politics. Probably political parties may consider this aspect while recruiting new members.

I agree with you and news item. Most criminals are enjoying life in politics for years and we are appreciating their activities with folded hands.

This is a sad situation. Ec needs to come up with some strict criterias to curb such thing.

Actually voters are ultimate masters. They vote the criminals also. Often those with criminal records also are more cooperative and help people. So they win even if contesting from jail.

Or the people are afraid by their firing powers?

Intimidation works more in rural areas. Possibly, some criminals can intimidate voters. One Raja Bhai is one in U.P. but parliamentary constituency is quite large and the coercive tactics do not work. It is really money power, caste equation, persuasive propaganda that works. People are more interested in results. The criminal politicians can give better results. If a criminal can do your work, why bother about his crime record?

Yes.. That is more of a bitter reality.. We are common... We are suppose to watch only.. Die if u speak.. That is the funda.. Criminals openly question us... we'll stay in power.. Can you touch us ? Try if you can..

Such kind of intimidations are there. But they don't work everywhere. They work with gullible and timid lot. One thing has to be noted that they will not try such tricks with everywhere and with everybody .

It definitely seems so ! A person with crinminal record has more chance of winning here than a person with a clean record.We have seen this happening in many places.All the top leaders like Mulayam Singh Yadav and Lallos wifes brother and a couple of MPs contesting from Up were all criminals and won.It has happened in the south although not to such an extent...
