Democracy....you must be joking

Its a shame that politicians like Shibu Soren candidly blackmail the government to get critical post like Chief Minister....which effectively means that people of that state get a CM who is accused of murder and other charges of stirring arson and violence...and all this without choice

People with money and vested interests can blackmail and take advantage of our political system and come to power. How can a person who is not even fully cleared by the judicial system become a CM? First, he successfully negotiated with the government for coal ministry in return for his vote (and that of several of his MP’s) and now he comes up with such an atrocious demand.

One would blame Congress here but there is no point because even BJP secretly promised him CM post if he ditched the UPA during the vote. It is not funny to sit here in a foreign country and argue but the point I am trying to make here is that we take pride in being the biggest democracy in the world but the fact is democracy is now become a joke of few political parties in India. They openly manipulate and misuse our political system and its flaws using hard cash (which is again people’s money) and make unacceptable promises. What about people of Jharkhand? Do they want a CM who is a kidnapper? blackmailer? someone who was found guilty of murdering his secretry.

Surely people are being taken for ride. What is actually needed is a bold new initiative to clean up the entire relationship between cash and politicians.... Surely, we should be proud of our democracy but such viscous moves should be curbed otherwise democracy will soon become a joke in this multi party alliances who turn by turn are raping the system.
