Great work!! 1 out of 4 MPs in our parliment are Criminals. How can they serve the country. The system should change, we need more educated and loyal polititions
i just visited UP (kanpur) can’t imagine how dirty city is it. it seems dt our country got independence just 3-4 yr before and thats why there is no development????? how is it possible dt a big city of UP is so dirty, undeveloped, unmaintained after 61 yrs of independence?????
u know why it is possible becoz we people are not doing any thing for this, becoz most of us elect such foolish, corrupted, illiterate n irresponsible candidate as our candidate, MPs.
first we should have to change our selfs after dt change our country n scenario of our country.
Lalu Prasad has submitted his affidavit.He has Rs 12.5 lacs but his family’s asset is nearly 40 crore.Is it all white money?Can we believe this affidavit?Can he be spared?
Truly speaking people of UP,BIHAR
should not cast their votes.The list of candidates Of BSP,RJD,LJD
are full of criminals.How to prevent them?Apart from them other parties also nominated tainted candidates.Our organisation should stand firmly against these crimanals from contesting.
We are a citizen group from mayur Vihar, Delhi. After 26/11 the pent up anger of the whole nation towards the apathy shown by our so called leaders left us shaken and impotent as to why it was allowed to happen.
From the initial anger and sursing we decided to do something, however small it may seem, to clean up the system. We have launched a party and one amongst us is contesting from Hisar, Haryana.
You must vote, but be careful in selecting your candidte. Get into the habit of voting, only then can you demand accountability.
If you want mor information do send me a mail at vinay.c.mathur@gmail.com. May be we can share ideas on how to move forward. Try forming your own like minded party in Bihar.
There are lots of people ( about 50) who are fed up and are fighting elections as independents.
All may not win, but even if we are able to get 5% of the votes we will know we are on the right track. After all rani Laxmi Bai of Jhansi sowed the seeds of the first war of Independence in 1857, but we got it in 1947(90 years later). Things wont happen overnight but at least we must make a start. Best wishes
This is yet another good initiative, and certainly one that is needed at a time when we are truly taking a step towards yet another tamasha in the name of democracy.To understand the dynamics of criminalization of politics, we must understand how we have been fraudulently made to believe in political myths. One very common of these is that India has corruption and dishonesty seeded deep with in it, and it is impossible to be in politics without being either. The fact is that India is one of the most honest countries. Consider the so called progressive nations. There are rules to govern families, relationships and just about everything. This is indicative that without such enforcements, it is probably not possible to ensure someone’s existence. We, Indians, are honest to our parents, children, spouse and kins without such written and formulated laws. Does this not speak of our honesty? How and why should we be led to believe that we can be governed by corrupt, wealthy and dishonest, when in our everyday lives, we are so honest, sacred and dutiful? We need to wake up, understand what our great country actually represents, we represent, and demolish such irrational myths.
It appears to me that there are a great many Marxists with criminal records. Its easy to be criminalized if you believe in politics that oppose the mainstream–many people may have criminal records simply because of oppositional politics. I don’t know the exact specifics of each case but I would hazard a guess that many of the Marxists may be there due to their activism. Also there may be a trend in which formerly violent guerillas end up in electoral politics (not uncommon.) Or alternately, they might just be run of hte mill criminals. Would be interesting to see an analysis.

Good work, really eye opener….I have voted all the times during election. I want to put few things forward. First of all, government declares holiday on the day of election. Most of the time, it co-incides with the weekend and hence most of the educated people take off and leave for long weekend in place of voting. The rule shall be made that if you have voted, your day off can be considered as a paid leave but if you dont go for voting, the day off shall be taken as Leave Without Pay….
Secondly, since last 4 years, I am working abroad, currently in Singapore. When I checked with Embassy here whether we can vote or not, surprisingly, I found that NRIs cant vote. Why? I want to take this up and know the reason for not allowing NRIs to vote. If required we can registed a PIL for this issue. So many NRIs working abroad and their vote will definitely make a difference.
I visited Uttar Pradesh just 15 years ago and it didn’t seem this bad.
