It is a pity that the local politics of Panchayati Raj is gone into the hands of third class local politicians, among whom many are unfit even to be in the society. The way they talk and act it looks they are come from the herd and not from the human society. And once they are elected they think they are the kings and queens of this planet. Then to show their power to the people only from their locality they wear the robes of Hitler. I have experienced this in my locality from the elected representatives coming from the family background of ladru – pedru because this class of people are devoid of character and discipline at home because their parents are backward.
Being so, their parents are unable to teach discipline to them at home which means they act like wild animals thus victimizing the locals when they seek any assistance from the Panchayat. These rascals they think Panchayat is their fathers’ property to act like Hitlers. Good that they are only the local Panchas and not beyond that. These are the people who commit corruption and dadagiri in the Panchayat. Such persons should be voted out.
In my locality all the candidates tell that they will serve the locals very well once they are elected. From the current and earlier elected representatives I have not seen much good and in future also I don’t expect anything good. I saw in the past elected representatives went on rampant corruption thus accumulating enormous illicit wealth for them. Otherwise they must openly declare the source of their income. If they are real sons and daughters of their real fathers then they will declare this information openly. Otherwise they will prove who they are.
