Well hard working or not is a separate question. Hatred ignites from them and settles in people like you and me. Actions are instigated by them and they end with innocents killing innocents. They may be hard working but at the same time they are also hungry for their seats. And please when any one says politicians we are referring to the ones who act and behave this way not all of them. Around 93 there was a MLA from outer Delhi consituency belonging to Congress. Police came to arrest him for his involvement in anti Sikh riots of '84. They were unable to arrest him because people from his local contituency use to consider him a demi god. This does not mean that he is one. May be he was hard working but his actions if in case he is guilty is unpardonable.
