Disillusioned with democracy-LEDP TOI14Oct2007

Disillusioned with the Indian style of democracy It’s pleasing to read that even a retired politician — governor in the chief minister’s chair — is also working. We have been disillusioned with the Indian style of democracy — democracy of a few, by a few, for a few. All the states under President’s rule can function more effectively. It’s time we stopped wasting our precious money on midterm elections and banned them. How can a corpus elected for five years fail to run a government for the stipulated period? To rest and recuperate is the politicians’ modus operandi, and the current scenario in Karnataka is appalling.
