Yes Indian democracy has miles to go. It is unfortunate that all the cross voting is linked to horse trading. What can you expect in a country where bribes are offered to Gods in exchange for bountiful favours. Like offering Rs 101 puja in return for a lakh of rupees lottery perhaps. This however does not go to prove that communism is better than democracy. If there has been corruption, then these must be probed and penalised. Two wrongs never add up to anything right
