Public representatives are being sold like sheep and goats: Shanta Kumar

 Palampur, 07 June (Fast Mail) -Former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Shanta Kumar said that for the Rajya Sabha elections, the parties have to keep their MLAs safe as legislators are being afraid that in some greed their vote may not go elsewhere. Not only this, a party leader proudly said that whatever you do, we will show you by breaking into the opposition.

He said that last year the game of defection was taking place in Rajasthan, so there the Chief Minister had given a statement that now the value of MLAs has gone into crores.

Shanta Kumar said that after 75 years, if the representatives of lakhs of people can be sold like sheep and goats and they have to be taken care of to avoid being sold, then there can be no greater shame for the country than this.

This is the biggest reason for the rampant corruption in the country,he said. People's representatives who have won the trust of lakhs of people, who get government facilities and salaries in lakhs, if they are seen being sold in this way, then the people of the country below cannot remain honest. According to the report of Transparency International, India is included in the world's most corrupt countries. It is a matter of misfortune that the India of Rama-Krishna has reached so low because of such leaders.

He said that corruption is also the biggest reason for the poverty of the country. Development took place, plans were also made but due to corruption the schemes were not implemented properly. According to the Global Hunger Index report, even after 75 years of independence and 8 years of Modi's illustrious rule, India is still ranked at the bottom 117 of the world's poorest 127 countries. Not only this, it has been said in the report that 19 crore 40 lakh people sleep almost hungry at night.

Shanta Kumar said that today India would have been the happiest country in the world if there was no corruption in the country. Corruption is the biggest enemy of India and the biggest responsibility of increasing it lies with the top leaders and industrialists.

He said that a strict law should be made to stop the sale and defection of MLAs. Voting against the party on whose ticket the MLA has been elected, his membership should be terminated. With this one law, the mandis held by legislators can be closed. Why this law was not made, I do not understand anything. May God give wisdom to the leaders of the country.
