It is quite heartening, the ppl of this country have been a benevolent lot towards the pathetic lot of MP's /MLA's and all government officials, silently withstanding corruption, negligence and lack of responsibility. How much more can the people take. If people having decent enough incomes are facing the heat then what of the BPL and lower income group.....What of the effect on the nutrition and health of the citizens of this country. It pains the individual if he is struggling to provide the basic food and essential items for his family. Government is happy , keep ppl poor and then offer them schemes for employment or subsidized food (rs.2 / kg in AP) and win elections....who is trying to find a long-term final solution to this problem, everyone is intrested in short - term plans and concentrate on next elections. History will remmeber India as a country always 2steps away from greatness and a country that prides on bringing its own downfalll rather than some external factor causing it

unfortunately the educated and unity loving Indians are a minority. The ground realities of vote bank politics are entirely different. I have seen party workers come to villages and ppl being huddled away in a lorry like buffaloes before the election day, the night they r served free liquor and a specific amount of money and next morning they are taken safely to the voting booth. Guess if liquor and money arent there then not even 65% of ppl will vote
