The Political system in our country has come to a stage that it is a mockery to call it a System. We have unfortunately incapable & corrupt people who have managed to occupy positions of power in this country. Neither these people have the decency nor the required vision to steer this country. What is left is cheap antics and discussions of no value wasting the Tax Payer's money.
The whole lot should be ashamed of themselves as collectively they are responsible for thousands of farmers commiting suicide.
They all should be arrested for abetment to suicide & cheating(Sec. 420 for making false electoral promises) and thrown behind bars.

If it is true that thousands of farmers have committed suicide, then it is scandalous for sure. However, one needs to find out why did it all happen. Did the farmers get whole of the loan sanctioned to them or there was a cut at the bank? Did the farmers use the loan for the purpose for which it was sanctioned, that is, for cultivation, buying farm cattle, farm machinery, etc. or did they spend it on dining and wining at naming ceremony, hair shredding, marriage, or repaying loans taken from the local lender?

Dear Rao,
You hit the nail on the head when you said "And the drama continues".
I would like to add something to your line where you propose that all the politicions should be booked under sec 420. I think that WE the voters, who put them there are equally to be blamed for this situation. Afterall, these corrupt leaders are corrupt because WE bribe our way out of trouble. They are LEADERS, because WE send them there. And it is WE who just say a whole lot of things, but dont care enough to venture out of our comfort zones and try to change it.

Unfortunately we as voters have very little choice. We are all busy in our small little worlds that when the time comes for elections we have equally bad choices to choose from and who all make a cacaphony of noises in terms of promises. So many refrain from casting their vote in sheer frustration. In fact when I was invited for the 'Lead India' show, I made a request that instead of identifying ONE leader, the exercise should identify 544 Leaders(1 per constituency).
