Yes, absolutely right!!!
He should have good educational qualification.

I think, most ministers from Kerala have a barrister degree in hand.

Educational qualifications do not make better politicians. Governments are run by political parties. It is best to leave it to their discretion to select suitable candidates for elective posts. The actual work is done by bureaucrats who are well qualified.

Would you prefer a politician who knows his job and educated or would you go for a hard core politician who is a so called politician because he knows how to win, while it comes to choose out of these two? I would certainly take a Akhilesh over Mulayam any day.

I think you have a point here! There used to be times immediately after Independence that leave alone central ministers all our MPs were quite educated.But deviation of it took place in the late sixties and thereafter.An uneducated person is thoroughly unfit to represent us and I hope this trend reverses.What passed on in the name of debates in legislatures is shameful and we must hang our heads in shame!!

They do not know even basics of etiquette, our so called representatives are basically musclemen, with a few exceptions. Most of them are ready to roll their sleeves up at the drop of a hat.

100% correct.
Elected candidates are actually joining the government service for salary. For each government job, a minimum qualification is needed. So, to work for the country also, minimum qualification is needed.
I think, a written test should also be conducted. :woohoo:

I have told about Pudicherry educational minister in some other thread. I am repeating it here. He don't even have an SSLC degree in hand, yet he is the educational minister of the state. Some days before, he send another person to write SSLC exam for him....and that person was caught... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Still now, I can't stop laughing :P

Not only from Kerala but many of the supreme court advocates are there in parliament. For innstance, Chidambaram, Jaishankar Prasad, Kapil Sibbal, leader of the opposion in Rajya sabha and many more but there are very few if you count them over all and compare to uneducated ones.
