For some, politics is a means of earning money, for others, it is a means of delivering social benefits, for others, it is a means of exercising power. But what exactly is politics? We have a big question about this. Politics: A Power Duel We now know who the politicians are and why they get involved in politics. Most politicians have criminal records, and national, state, or local parties choose candidates who have power, money, and a well-known persona in society.
Because of this, they can win the election at any cost because they want to rule the country, state, or other location. Because of this, politics is a power game, and they don’t use this. Politics: A Business Source We hear about ticket sales during elections. If someone is paying for a ticket, why would they work for society? After winning the election, their primary goal will be to make money, so they won’t hesitate to misuse their power because they join politics for power and money, not to help society. They use their power to make money, whether it’s legal or not. Sometimes, for example, they don’t follow tender rules when awarding contracts to people who pay them. Political Treatment of VIPs We have numerous instances of politicians who have failed to make use of their position to obtain “VIP TREATMENT” while in jail or to save their lives. Because of their position, they frequently disregard traffic regulations. POWER FOR FAMILY MEMBERS AND RELATIVES IN POLITICS Their relatives and family members use their power as well, and they display their power only because their family member is in power. A Common Name for Scams: Politics There are numerous examples of scams, such as the “2G SCAM,” “CHARA SCAM,” “COAL SCAM,” and “COMMON WEALTH GAME SCAM,” all of which occur because of the power held by politicians. FAMILISM – POLITICS Familism is evident in Indian politics. In the context of India, there are numerous parties in which a single family controls the party and a large number of family members operate it. Justice in politics Because the court process in India takes a long time, they don’t worry about being punished by the court for their scam because they use their power to get the “VIP TREATMENT” in the cell. This is why we can’t say that everyone is treated equally in the process of justice because it is most difficult for the common people to get the “VIP TREATMENT.” They do not receive adequate punishment for their actions, such as Lalu Prasad Yadav’s “CHARA SCAM,” which cost nine hundred crores of dollars but only required him to pay 25 million and serve a year in prison.
