It was Deepak Chopra who said 'when you make a choice you change the future' but I am not very sure if that proves true in the coming Delhi civic poll. This time when you press a particular labelled button on the "Electronic Voting Machine" , it will be more to keep alive Democracy than making a choice between "good,bad and ugly". Civic bodies are good notion nothing more. MCD is a politically accepted den for corruption and the fact that BJP is ruling it for a decade does not make it any better.
Since Anna Hazare started his war against corruption , all the political parties have become self acclaimed Anti-corruption institutions . However it is a living fact that CORRUPTION today has become the very DNA of politics in the country . The quantum of corruption that can be attributed to a particular political party will always remain in direct proportion to the power and influence that it can garner,nationally,regionally or locally. So political parties in the country can only be classified as 'less corrupt', 'more corrupt' , 'most corrupt', but never 'not corrupt'. That is how we come to say that the Congress is the most corrupt political party in the country followed by BJP . Incidentally these are the two political parties which have been taking turns in ruling the MCD since it was established by an act of Parliament on 7th of April 1958 . There is no guessing on how much of CORRUPTION these political parties are sitting on. Lets move on....
'AAM ADMI' is a political party that has come to become a serious political threat to both BJP and Congress and that too in the shortest span of time and that is extremely commendable . This party is the by product of the 'War Against Corruption' a social movement that was launched by Anna Hazari at Delhi's Jantar Mantar in 2011. Since it was born against the wishes of Anna Hazari , sarcastically speaking it is the illegitimate child conceived from the ashes of 'War Against Corruption'. However as I write this there has surfaced plenty of corruption charges against this party , some proved some remain work in progress . Well this party is definitely in a mad rush to beat both Congress and the BJP
In this MCD election there are 272 seats out there to be won . Besides the above political parties there are couple of more regional level parties which will be fielding their candidates. The Municipal Corporations in India are in general considered as hallmark for bribery . So whichever party comes into power is bound to strike GOLD but we the people will continue to remain their "Golden Goose"...Hail Democracy!
