Shifting narratives on politics,and heightened criminalization pf politics;ordinary people are spectators

.The politicians are supposed to serve the people and promote their economic well beings .They are expected to maintain high standard of morality, dignity and decency that Anna once talked about .In 1967 election riding on the anti- Hindi agitation wave of the student community –a spontaneous overflow of emotions and close on the heels of the rise in the price of rice ,the rising sun of DMK could capture the good will of the people and C N Annadurai could win election in the pleasant company of mega alliance ably formed and assisted by Rajaji,a great statesman , and others .During those days the candidates were from ordinary segments of the society- the lesser privileged and the hard work of the party workers –the real volunteers mattered most in ensuring victory .. Contrast the current tribe of contestants cutting across the political parties .The two shades of DMK having the label of Anna can hardly boost of that kind of dedicated workers in the fray. Now the elections are corporate driven and only those who can afford to spend many crores enter into the fray Do we have good and honest politicians who will qualify this standard ?There is more violence in words and at times the MP and MLA of the same party test their muscle power on the stage before the public or party people ,beating one another with cheppal(foot wear ). More than loyalty to the party and honesty of individuals what matters most is political and criminal background and his critical capability to spend money first and then to make money. It is only those candidates who can spend 40 to 50 crores are allotted seat .will they be expected to represent people or the corporate vested interests ?The ruling party fellows live in a world of illusion or delusion that they are above the law which should bend and protect them and the enforcement agencies must obey their command . When criminals have chosen to enter the legislature to amass fortune and also protect the cumulative accumulation of black wealth and at times one in three members of parliament is facing criminal cases, what type of governance we shall expect ?It is learnt that between 2004 and 2014 the number of candidates with serious criminal charges shot up from 266 to 908 and those elected as MPs from 60 to 120..Shankar Aiyar says :Parties in their pursuit hunt for winning candidates have enabled the vertical integration of money and muscle power in the electoral market . Now a new acronym has been launched chowkidar and these fools do not know they are adding fuel to the fire and the gentleman who rode to power on lies wants to reassert with mere slogans and terminology ,the power of lies.He has lost his credibility and moral authority to talk about good governance or battling corruption .His five year rule bears testimony what a leader of the country should not do .
