Political parties - Indian ruling and opposing elite

The muscle power of political parties in India is known. Their obnoxious representatives hijack any thin effort towards Governance. Vile and corrupt, most of these politicians thrive on money, muscles and corruption. Their proximity to big and corrupt business houses is known. In the matters of corruption most of the political parties including the two major ones are birds of same feather that flock together. In matters of expressing their power and in moral matters they are not very apart. Not very far behind are the parties who claim themselves to be representatives of the poor. It is in interest of every political party that muscle power, money power and the cycle of massive corruption continues because then they will be able to look into their own selfish interests. It is only the amount of the loot with which they have disputes. The one who gets into power gets a major share and therefore everybody fights an election - to have power and more power. The recent killing of a politician by a woman once again highlighted the desperation of people. The woman was raped and silenced by a politician and she had to take a drastic measure. Whether her action is justified or not is a different question, but the incident shows the desperation. Only under extreme provocation would one take that much risk that the woman took. We have seen the scams unfolding which are tips of icebergs. We have seen the massive corruption with land everywhere in the country, where big businesses and realtors (again many of them are politicians or have close links to the politicians)have a major stake. The pro poor parties are no different - West Bengal now become a "waste" Bengal, a veritable killing field and everyday tales of corruption of a party in power for 35 years by making a mockery of democracy, are coming out. "God's own country" is now a happy playground of the devils. We have seen the danger of divisive policies - terror attacks and killing at impunity for differences in opinion, be it religious, caste or political. Associations and organizations which have long been beneficiaries of divisive policies have come out openly in support of corrupt people whom they hold as their icon and have pleaded victimhood for the corrupt who makes judicial process a mockery. No severe law has come up against corrution - nobody is bothered. CBI investigation is an eyewash because everybody knows CBI to be servant of ruling elite. Therefore a general despondency has grasped the nation in the beginning of a new year and new decade as we are unable to nurture any hope for the nation with this system and set up. No respite for common men it seems.
