This is elitism at its best

Sure, these guys are intelligent but there are many others who were not interested in engineering but exelled in their field of choice. Does this mean they cannot join BPD. India has created elitism from IIT students. We need to be inclusive of all intelligent people and ask them to take part in politics for the improvement of the country.

I am an IIT graduate and the way we have a superiority complex against other indians make me sad if this continues onto politics. It would be much of the same.

Besides the division from Lok Paritran shows that its all about power.

If you read the article properly, it said that there were lots of educated candidates among which some were IITians. Your superiority complex is not good for you or the nation. Please get rid of it and use your knowledge for the greater good of the nation.
