Well..... let me ask you first.
Have you ever donated to any political party? Mostly NO.
Then where do these traditional parties get their thousands of crores from? Corporates and businesses(Eg: Real estate. Off late most of these business people started to contest by themselves to eliminate middlemen(read elected reps)).
Now the so called "Leaders" once they get elected have to return the favour. So they become busy in working for the interests of these few who helped them generously win election.
How will they be left with any time to work for anyone else( read #Aamaadmi)
They will throw some freebies here some subsidies there. This is more than enough for those millions whose expectations are way below, because for them survival is a miracle on a day to day basis. We have Religion and caste to add a strong emotional flavour to the vote.
Meanwhile, they don't really care what the rest of millions ask for, as they know that these BUSY people are never a threat. They hardly vote. Some of them will keep raising issues, shout, file RTIs, get killed as a bonus, do protests, file PILs in court. But to the Govt which works on several IMPORTANT issues, these are all trivial. They can wait. Funds become a problem. Manpower becomes a problem.(Mind you, funds are not an issue for foreign STUDY tours of our elected reps.)
Now tell me, why would they care if SOME WOMEN gets raped, some where.
Its time for some soul searching, my friends.
