Letter Published in Gulf News UAE on 23Aug 17,Stop political corruption

I have been watching India’s politics for five decades (“Inquiry ordered into Jayalalitha’s death, merger chances brighten”, Gulf News, August 17). My observation is that whoever comes to power does not serve the people, despite the promises they make before the elections. The recent developments in Indian politics are not healthy. Tamil Nadu is facing tough times. After the demise of the late Chief Minister Jayaram Jayalalitha, the party has divided into three factions and everyone is claiming their eligibility to rule. Their party symbol is also under threat from the election commission. To get their famous two leaf symbol back, the factions have to merge together and prove they are one. Today, corruption and nepotism are more visible in Indian politics. People should think and choose good governance with a full majority. By adopting this method, political parties and their numbers game will be eradicated, and clean administration will replace it. Will the people select an honourable party for the sake of development and prosperity?
