Our politics is not on the right track. Money and muscle power have taken control of our politics. The political parties give more attention to money and muscle power to maintain their grip over the country. These are the reasons behind corruption and violence. Politicians need to understand that politics is not a wrestling or boxing competition, it is meant for the welfare of the people. We have seen that prominent political leaders are also compromising their values. Our political parties give nominations to the leaders who have criminal background and we also vote for them to make them our representatives. Can the Election Commission make a rule declaring the candidates with criminal background unfit for contesting elections?
