MODERN DAY ANIMAL FARM - 2

Feeling my anguish in not finding an alternate to the communists in Bengal,
many friends have come up with different suggestions.
I have received quite a few, as many states at various periods have had to cope with this disease.
We have Goa and Karnataka at present.
Earlier we had the Lals causing headaches to the people of Haryana
and the Aya Rams and Gaya Rams of Bihar are also worth remembering.
Among the suggestions, the best I felt is the following.

The people of India should demand a null or negative vote in all elections.

We already have two fronts vying with each other and literally dying to serve the people.
If you notice, the election related deaths are increasing with each election.
A third front tries to be born every now and then but dies a stillbirth.
I am sure you all know who form the three fronts.
The corrupt parties, the more corrupt parties and the most corrupt parties.
Please take your choice.

We the people of India should ask the Election Commission and the Judiciary to select good,responsible people of repute from each state to
represent the people if,
the party candidates in the above three fronts do not get 50% of polled votes.

Now you may be wondering why I did not select the President of India?

Well, if Dr. APJ Kalam had been the President,
I would have had no hesitation in leaving the choice to him.

But now we have a president, who is a political appointee,
who has corruption charges against her even before taking the post.
The president of a party who has the Bofors corruption albatross hanging round her neck has appointed her.
How can you expect she will appoint non-corrupt persons?
She has already shown which side of her bread is buttered with the alicrity
with which she has given her assent to the AIIMS (Amendment) Bill, knowing full well
that one of the aggrieved party had already approached the Supreme Court,
and which was to be taken up by the Court on Monday.
The Government has three wings. The Executive, headed by the President,
the Judiciary and the Election Commission
We have more faith in the Election Commission and the Judiciary and will accept their choice.
We have no faith in the present president.
So, if the any candidate of the above three fronts do not receive 50% of polled votes,
a candidate selected by the above two authorities should be appointed
to represent the people of that constituency.
I feel this is the best suggestion, by which we could replace all corrupt politicians.
Otherwise no good people will come in the government
I would request the people who are in authority and who have the power
to help implement the above or any better suggestions.
I also would like your views.
