Sometimes we get confuse about politics. What it actually is? Its actual definition is ‘the practice and theory of influencing other people on a global, civic or individual level’. Mainly it refers to make good governance in state or country but it almost hard to understand the type of politics is happening in our country is good, bad or worst. Yes I am talking about Indian politics and our political parties.
As we all know only few days are left for Delhi Election and here is the two top most parties BJP & AAP which are strong contenders & competitors of each other. Most of the people are in the favor of BJP just because of NAMO while the rural area people and lower middle class people still believe in Arvind Kejriwal. Both the parties have already announced their candidate for CM. Where BJP came again with its new candidate former IPS officer Kiran Bedi who was also the supporter in Anna Movement and on the other hand AAP again is in Delhi battle with their 29 achievements which they’ve already done before in their 49 days ruling period. Let me remind to you all, AAP was the party which promised mainly two things in their earlier election. That were they will bring visibility and transparency in politics and other was they won’t support and add any criminal members or facing any criminal cases in their parties. It seems like they’ve forgotten their own promises and broke their own rule. It’s not that only AAP is indulged in this thing, BJP and other parties are also in this race.
Association of Democratic Reforms (ADR), an NGO, released an analysis of 673 self-sworn candidates who are contesting the 2015 Delhi Assembly Election. Out of 673 contestants 114 candidates have declared criminal cases lodged against them which will be around 17 percent. The figure has increased since the 2008 with 14% and 2013 with 16% elections when candidates had declared criminal cases against them. According to the study 27 (39%) candidates have the criminal cases lodged on them out of 69 candidates while in AAP have 23 (33%) criminal candidates out of 70 candidate. On the other hand how would Congress party get untouched by this. They also have 21 (30%) criminal candidates in their party in this Election.
Now if I talk about real visibility in politics then the donation system is also included where political parties get during election through various sources. According to AAP leaders they’ve got Rs.1.25 Cr till now by professionals, corporate executives, entrepreneurs and small businessmen. But they didn’t disclose the names. This thing not only done by any particular political party but generally most of the parties doesn’t show their sources of donation. In other countries like USA & Japan, the donation used in election comes under RTI which can be seen easily by anyone while countries like Canada & other developed country; they have to disclose their donor name. According to Zee news report, India comes under the group (10%) with some countries which don’t disclose their donor’s name.
It’s similar to attendance is mandatory in school but all student bunk every class and still they get 100% attendance. We have the system and law but still we are handicapped. Which type of politics they are doing and how youth will get influence with it? What kind of message they are trying to convey to people?
