Just read in newspapers :
With one voice , all political parties ( except Aam Aadmi Party ) , have requested the Central Government to amend relevant laws , in order to negate / nullify the Supreme Court orders , which will prevent persons locked up in jails to contest elections or those MLAs / MPs to contest elections who have been found guilty and awarded a jail term of 2 years or more .
Political parties also want Central Government to amend Right to Information Act , to nullify the order of the CIC , which would make the parties " answerable " to queries of the public
What surprises me is how come no political party has asked for amendment of laws that require them to file Income Tax return under Representation of People Act !
Could it be that this is because they need not provide any details ( or , keep any records ) of donations of less than Rs 20,000 ?
And , Lo and Behold !
None have received any donation of Rs 20,000 or more !
Do not ask how Congress has managed to build up a war chest of Rs 2,000 Crores and BJP , a fund of Rs 1,000 Crores !
Despite all my admiration for the achievements of Narendra Modi , I fail to see any difference between BJP and Congress !
Since I was old enough ( around 10 years of age - in 1943 ) , I have not felt more cynical about our so called " Democracy " , ever being able to lift our 600 million , malnourished poor people out of their abject poverty
In the remaining years of my life , I await the arrival of a Benevolent Dictator like Netaji Shubhash Chandra Bose or Ironman Sardar Patel
Hemen
