Scandals, controversies,
conspiracies and crimes happening and coming to light one after the other like
if a chain reaction. Everything happening in and around the atrocity called
politics. An irony is that both the ruling and the opposition have an equal
share when something that shouldn’t happen happens.  |

Coal mining controversy, 2G
spectrum, Highway scam, Jeep scandal, Bofors scandal.....and the innumerable
sex scandals too. The list goes long... Really really long!! Never understood
this high level corruption. Why do already rich and powerful people sell souls
for more money they'll never be able to spend?
Sometimes we feel like politics
is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it, and then
misapplying the wrong remedies. The whole aim of practical politics is to keep
the populace in a continual state of alarm (and hence clamorous to be led to
safety) by menacing them with an endless series of goblins, all of them
imaginary. No one will really understand politics until they understand that
politicians are not trying to solve our problems. They are trying to solve
their own problems — of which getting elected and re-elected are number one and
number two. Whatever is number three is far behind. Hope “Ruling” comes at
least at number three.
