People Must Discard Tainted People

People must discard tainted people
Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

The people of India have already seen that they had not been electing right people and that is the reason they could not get right governments from 1947 to date and that had been the reason all the problems which were attached with the people of India prior to independence and prior to our becoming a democracy are still with us and most of the people of India are still facing those problems. We have seen that the people who are in political parties had never joined this field of politics for the service of the people, but they took this field as a profession, trade, calling and employment and it had been on record that they had been investing money and then they had been inventing new methods of recollecting what they had spent along with profits. And that is the reason they had been inventing scams, scandals, muddles, bribes, corruption, commissions etc. etc. and we have been told that they had been collecting so much that the next three or four generations of their houses would not need to work and earn money.
The people of India had been slaves for centuries and that is the reason they could not understand the meaning of independence and the meaning of democracy and they never looked high on the faces of those who had been occupying the seats of power. In 1947 there had been a change and we should not take that event as an independence. Similarly when we wrote and adopted our constitution we were not told that something new shall come in India. All that was paper transaction and what is written in our constitution has never been adopted and implemented in India. Had there been an independence and had there been a democracy in India, the people could have become masters of this country and they could have adopted a lifestyle of masters. But here they are still living as slaves and the people who are given seats of power have actually occupied those seats as rajas, maharajas, monarchs and like the imperialists and they are keeping the people standing before them like slaves. They are not listening to the people because they know that once the people of India are alive, they shall not allow all these tainted people to rule over them. so keeping in view these difficulties with them, the people in power are keeping the people illiterate, untrained, unadjusted at work, without money and because of all these difficulties with the people, they are poor and they are not in a position to make two ends meet. such people would never be able to identify the people who are corrupt and not fit to rule and that is the reason the same batches of people are coming time and again without any break and we must be sorry that we are electing the same people who had been reported as corrupt and tainted people through news papers and through TV channels.
The people of India had been given only right to vote and we have seen they could bring so many changes. They rooted out family rule from India. They rooted out party dictatorship from India. They rooted out individual autocracy from India and all they did with their vote power. They may not be attaining the status of masters of this country, but they could fight through elections and because of their vote power, they could bring alliance system in India. time is coming when they shall be demanding shadow cabinet system and the political parties shall be obliged to give us names of suggested ministers before elections and we, the people of India shall be electing ministers with our own votes because we have seen that the Prime Minister is not at liberty to choose ministers as their qualifications and merits, but ministers are appointed here under pressure and that is the reason we could not deliver goods to our people.
We must understand the working of the people and when next election time comes, we should discard those who had not been good performers and whose work and conduct had been under doubt. everything is clear before our eyes because the corrupt people are not in a position to conceal their ill gotten income and if there is no charge against them, they are not in a position to conceal what they could collect during their tenure. We had been voters and we had been bringing big changes and therefore, we should be alive when we are voting and only clear, neat and clean and honest people should be allowed entry in the houses and we can do this and we shall have to do this because the future generations would not give us pardon and they shall be passing adverse remarks against us. We must leave good legacies for our new generations and we must start from this side and we should elect only clean people. If we start like that, there are chances that all those who are corrupt would leave the field and would not stand as candidates.
