In a large democracy like India, the leaders/government is elected by the common people and not selected. It does not matter who is the MP/Minister etc. The development of a country depends upon the understanding of a ground level situation by the leader whom we elect and not depend upon his/her education, vocabulary or English speaking ability. Once she pledges her service by knowing the common people's need, there are learned, english speaking, economists, IAS officers at his/her command to implement the decisions. Foreign investors or any investments does not depend upon the beauty/look and english speaking ability of a leader/minister...they only evaluate the agenda of the government and ability to administer the state.
In India, from day one of independance, political parties always played with the sentiments of common man to gain votes. Until a couple of decades ago, it was easy for them to garner votes by playing the cards of religion and casts, mainly due to lack of education.
For example, an illiterate politician like Laloo Yadav did not do any good or development for Bihar for almost 15-20 years and was very confident that he is the permanent CM for them -ultimately, people defeated him and installed another government with a sensible CM and the results are seen now. at the same time, when he was shifted to the Railways, on which he has absolutely no knowledge, could do a better job, since he was dependant on the advises provided by the senior officials/IAS officers of the Ministry.
However, as you know, this situation is slowly and steadily changing and people are getting at least the basic education to understand who is good and who is bad - I am not advocating the Mayavati is good or bad - they have a choice among the 4 - so this time they chose to give a chance to Mayavati - now it depends upon her ability to fullfill the commitments given to the voters.
Gundaism has to come to an end one day or the other - you cannot permanently bully people and stay in power.
So don't go by the look and feel of the elected representative - wait and watch how they perform.
