ACCOUNTABLE POLITICAL SYSTEM
Value based politics commonly practiced during the pre-independent
era which gradually lost in the post independent India. Corruption in the
Indian political system became public, for the first time, when the Jeep
scandal followed by Mundra rumpus came up for deliberation in the Parliament
and when guilt was established appropriate action followed.
The second generation corruption in the Indian political
system, however, took a devilish turn with its percolation at the every level
whether States, Districts, Municipal or any form of public administration. Increasingly
impropriety cum corruption not only crippled the political parties but became a
tradition in the Indian political system!
Over the six decades
the democratic principles are not only waning in the country but the elected
representatives showing scant respect to the electorate they represent as well.
Unabated disruptions of parliamentary proceedings on the important legislations
concerning welfare of the state presently brought the Indian parliamentary
democracy at its lowest ebb. This has resulted in to loss of millions of taxpayers’
money besides hope & aspirations of the billion countrymen. It is,
therefore, high time to enforce accountability cum appropriate code of conduct on
the elected representatives and any proof of its breaching should amount to
expulsion of the representatives besides seeking fresh mandate from the electorate!
