Politics
by Abbas Ali Rehman on May 11, 2007 04:30 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Almost all parties in India get their votes on devisional basis. Some for upper cast, some for lower, some for some religion etc. Wii India ever get a party to make the governement with only principles and development without any perticulat votebank ?????

till there r vote banks this will not b possible. caste based reservation is also responsible for this. i think with mayawati as cm of up, this is going to increase.

Shouldnt we be blamed for it as Indians and as voters. If someone wins due to casteist politics or politics of religion, dont you think the voters should be blamed for it. Isnt it said of democracy that you get what you deserve? I have seen discussion going on here and people praising Mayawati and condemning congress and BJP on grounds of communal politics and things like that but dont you think Mayawati also comes in the same category. She proudly claims bringing Brahmin votes in her ambit. She is also of the same category. The difference is thta she played her caste card better than others :)
