Human history has so far observed three methods or customs of governance: (a) governance by a monarch / king; (b) rule by a ruler; and (c) democratic governance. Through a route of test and fault, democracy with all its errors has come to be accepted as the best form of governance. India with its great inheritance of moral standards, culture and civilization is unquestionably the largest democratic country in the world.
After independence, India recognized the Parliamentary form of democracy in which all controls of the state were talked in the hands of elected councils of the people. Parliament and State Legislatures are the most important supports of Indian democracy. People elect their representatives occasionally and elections form an vital part of our democratic system. The frank goals and expectations of the people can be imitated only through fair elections. It was thus compulsory on the part of the Members of provincal(MPs) and the Members of the Legislative National Assembly (MNA) in the states to behave according to the norms laid down in our Makeup and to strive to defend our great birthright and moral values. But the axiomatic dictate, ‘Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely’ has come to stay in our political system also.
In a flash of retrospection of the Indian politics, one understands with alarm that the democratic system is increasingly being driven by money, muscle power, individual greed and unconcealed ambitions
