Lawmakers should never be law breakers

Politicians should be ever so truthful in all that they speak and do. It is obnoxious when people we have elected as our representatives lie so blatantly and break promises at the drop of a hat.

Those elected must be accountable for their acts of omission and commission.  Lawmakers must never be law breakers. We elect them to conscientiously serve the community and not to swiftly rise from rags to riches. Politicians must not do what is politically expedient but do what is right.

Can the ED, IT and CBI not openly see and investigate those within the BJP who have amassed abundant wealth by wrong doings? In a small state like Goa itself we have one too many. It is now a known fact that if one wants to be insulated from the rigors of law, joining, or even aligning with the BJP is the only way to be in a safe haven, temporarily shielded from the long arm of the law.
