Kerala has hotted up ever since the date of the forthcoming Assembly elections was announced. The same guys, known to be corrupt and inefficent, are positioning themselves to try their luck at the hustings. The paradox is that each of the political parties are in the same position and will field, by and large, the same people. The general public will elect the same people, whom they abhor, into the new legislative assembly!
Certain well meaning guys have said that they'd stand as independents knowing fully well that they do not stand a chance at winning and are sure to lose their security deposit too. So, calling ourselves the largest democracy and having free and fair elections every five years is akin to experiencing a mirage.
Don't we have any means to buck the trend? Why can't we elect upright men and women who'd serve their country sincerely and work for the overall progress? Newcomers from all walks of life with impeccable credentials are required to join the political mainstream - only then can we hope to cleanse the system.
