[Reader-list] `Analysis of the Karnataka Election Results’- James Manor, CSDS, 1st August, 2:30 PM

[radhikarajen at vsnl.net]

Truth is always bitter to many who like to see the sweetness of divisive politics and bad governance, as otherwise how citizens can be happy with the elected MPs like Sangliana and others who sold their votes ?

  Take the low intensity strikes of blasts in a city like bangalore, Jaipur or Bombay, where innocents have to die, face the miseries with injuries , all these make our politicians run into blame game, but in practise it is hypocracy at work, as we do not have the courage to corner the anti-social elements who like the nation in constant state of bad governance with discrimination to citizens, pampering of votebanks for the faith, caste and religion.?

  A policeman is obstructed when he accosts persons who keep pig in the place of worship and all the arrested are rowdy sheeters of the same faith doing haram jobs for a politician, and the investigation is stuck low key, as it would offend the feeling of a faith.!

 Regards.
