Crime and corruption often go together. But there is also a third problem ” lack of common sense. Even an average person knows that life should have higher goals than just making money or enjoying luxury through unfair means. Every person has some talent.
Sadly, many fail to find real purpose and fall into selfish living. Such people crave power, depend on flattery, and believe they are important to society. When we elect such leaders, we lower our own standards. Our political class needs exposure to better things in life ” good books, music, sports, films, science and technology. If they valued these, they might realise how deeply they suffer from greed. We are entering a new scientific age with artificial intelligence, robots and advanced technology. In the future, people may look back at today’s politics with disbelief.
At present, people suffer due to unfriendly policies like coal handling, double tracking and the Mahadayi diversion. As the opposition voice is weak, activists are stepping in to raise awareness. But many face threats, attacks and even jail for speaking up. This is why citizens must choose honest and sincere leaders who truly work for the welfare of the common people, not just for the rich and powerful.
