This is a direct result of the reservation and caste politics. That is why even ambedker had cautioned that reservation policy should be reviewed after two decades of independence. It has been six decades and it is cleaarly evident that it is not working. If any, there are more communities under the unbrella of reservation, which clearly shows that the nation, as a whole, is going backwards. There are onlly three options left- either scrap all the reservation or elect a regime that is honest and fair, or a combination of both. The India we know of, none of these options can be implemented for another 100 years. Then the only alternative left for us is to demand an alternate form of governance- maybe another revolution where the tsars and dynatic family rule should be completely abolished and the candidates selected for runing elections should be selected by the people BEFORE they are awarded tickets. That way, they will feel the moral obligation to do something for the area that got them ticket. In todays scenerio the only factors that effect getting a ticket are money, guns, family and power. The factors that DO NOT matter are honesty, integrity, eduction, past track record, popluarity with common people. As long as there is caste/religion/region politics , people will keep dying and our rulers will remain complacent in their palaces forging alliances and celebrating birthdays. There should be some provision that people can de-vote their representative on non- performance.

Nobody forces you to vote for them. In the polling booth, its YOU, YOUR VOTE and BALLOT BOX, nobody else. So use you conscience and choose the best. Yes there should be option for negative voting. Yes there should be provision to remove an elected representative; but then both are subject to calculated misuse
