India’s Key Challenges: Political Corruption and Governance
Apr 3, 2011
|
|
With five states Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Puducherry, Assam and West Bengal going for elections for assemblies over the month of April and beyond, two issues clearly stand out as key challenges for India, political corruption and governance. Ironically while the voter may cast for change he may find the same politically corrupt class back in power but in different Party colours. The choice for the common man therefore appears to be so limited that victory may be decided by the voter choosing between two shades of black, that is a party and leaders who are less corrupt than another rather than black and white or even grey and white. A look at the present scenario through the electoral lens may be worthwhile. |
