Unfortunately, the people do not have the power to recall the elected representatives in the event of their non-performance. If this can be built into the electoral system then and only then will these "people's representatives" do what the people mandated them to do. Now, it is 5 years of swindling and damn the people who elected them. By the time the next election comes along, enough wealth has been made for several generations to come. Moreover, votes can be purchased at the time of the elections from illiterates who can be given drink and food a couple of days before elections to influence them to caste their votes in their favour; goondas can be employed to terrorise opponents into silence.
