Dear Asitji,

  without politicising the issue, basically if we analyse the issues, what we see as citizens of India, is that every time the oldest party in its own rule or with the fuedal parties ,regional parties has ruled the nation, governance has always gone for a toss, as the oldest party lives and breathes on kickbacks. The contractors that you mention are there in all walks of life, to "implement" the pro-poor schemes and see that new schemes are made, new ways of loot are devised. None are under any illusion that part of the loot, major portion goes to Leaders in the process for the election funds, to bring in crowds for slogan shouting and to create tv awareness by their presence of how strong, popular is the person heading the oldest political party.

  Moreover, a single MLA , that too an independent can become CM of a state to keep out "communal" party away from governance so that a party tainted with taking money for confidence vote can join hands with the party which gave money for the vote is the bigger issue in the present form of governance.

  Whenever citizen is required to do his duty in society, be it serial bomb blasts or cover up for the loot for national exchequer, or the murders of whistle blowers like satyadev, Manjunath, it is deplorable role of CBI that has come into sharp focus as this premier investigative agency which has personnel of impeccable integrity has got political favourites in position to subvert judiciary. Judiciary adjudicates on evidence presented in prosecution, and CBI prefers to present evidence of the crime involving poor servants, pick-pockets and such, never that of rich and powerful political leaders or their hangers on, resulting in these powerful going scotfree, be it a Mandhir Kohli or a doctor who has enough clout to get away with defence of high profile lawyers.

  In serial blasts cases also, the CBI drags iys feet at the instance of political pressures and also big money involved with NGOs jumping to defend the culprits.

  Ecery citizen, in his area of work or residence when observes a few new individuals, it is on him to know these who are new in the area, police have to check about their visas, or their origin. Burdened with vip security for those who do not deserve to be in public life, safety to looters, police is de-moralised force who are constantly taking political orders. Irrespective of faith, if anti-social elements are found, who do not have human rights when they kill. should be killed then and there as if banana republic laws as these are from banana republics only as otherwise they know how to use their rights to subvert the society and its rule of laws with faith.?

  Regards.
