RS seats being sold. Big deal?

Lot of people have been talking of Rajya Sabha seats being sold for Rs 100 cr.

Is that really a big deal here? when lot of us are fine and ready to pay in several lakhs to secure a seat for our kids in best of the educational institutions – which starts from pre-nursery and goes till higher education. We should be very comfortable in accepting this as well!

Time to rise above political lines and think about “Country’..

What an end to 2011 & Lokpal in Rajya Sabha !  As usual politicians were shouting & fighting to prove their individual party’s point of views, which others were obviously not interested in listening to. It was like watching a large group of kids engrossed in their own individual discussions without paying attention to what’s happening around them, unfortunately it was entire nation in this case. It’s frustrating to watch our elected representatives to fight like this, imagine what can we expect from common citizens!!

Most of us don’t understand the Lokpal, at least I do not completely and are still in favor of it being implemented. The only high level understanding people have is that it will bring everyone under the scanner of Lokpal, and can be an catalyst to control/remove corruption in India which is widespread like plague. And I feel that’s more than we as common citizens need to understand. So, as Anna says; it’s important to bring all government bodies, departments and employees under the Lokpal to ensure it can be used effectively.

But what political parties are doing right now is just mockery of their responsibilities towards country. All of them are focused on display of their political rivalries instead of coming together and try to reach some consensus which is beneficial for entire nation. What appears is that none of them is serious and want to get this bill passed, as it’s going to make things difficult for them in future whenever being in power at center or any state. Most of them are themselves neck-deep in corruption, so what else can we expect!!

As a common citizen it’s a sincere request to all politicians to rise above political lines and start thinking about country and show some respect to the people who elect them and make them feel special. After seeing what all happened in last few days, am not sure if  I would like to really vote for any of the candidates.
