Politicians - what we want

There is a lot of talk about politicians, thier attitude, excess VVIP security etc
The general public outrage against politicians is at its peak now. Politicians have started retorting too. Let me anlyse it.
  • Do we need Politicians? - Yes we need them in a democracy Why? - Without them there will be anrchy. But we need good ones. Not the kind of lot we have now.

What is wrong? What we don't want - We don't want the present day politicians and their politics. They are not politicians. They are just self employed parasites living on the blood of common man. Yes there are some exemptions. Less than 100 in all over India.

We do not want the politicians who become billionires through public life. We do not want politicians who think only about their power, position & wealth. We do not want politicians who wants to be immune to everything from traffic lights to security ques and travel reservations to temple entries. We do not want politicians who run from behind the land mafias, dacoit gangs, human traffikers, sex trade etc. Also we do not want them to do highly profitable. [Have you at any time thought why the prices of ATF is reduced and petrol & diesel proices ar NOT reduced. Then correspondingly air fare is not reduced. It has nothing to do with loss to PSUs, but loss to the big guy who has major stakes in the two major air lines]. We don't want ploiticans who build Govt palaces and buy High end Govt cars.

  • What we want - Good people with commitment and integrity. People willing to sacrifice for the common man. People who debate in the house on issues of common man. We want politicians who think for the country. We want politicians who can implement the law with out fear. We want politicians who are accessible. We want politicians who keep their words. we want to see politicians who obey traffic rules and stand in the que.

YES WE WANT POLITICIANS. BUT NOT THE KIND OF PRESENT GOONS. GOOD ONES WHO CARE FOR THEIR COUNTRY AND COUNTRYMEN.
