Gabe Menezes makes a very valid point when he asks: "Who will stand against
the corrupt Politicians and win?"
In Mumbai, at every election time, we get calls from concerned citizens to
vote for the right candidate. However, none of these citizens will make a
list of who is the right candidate, and campaign for them. Without such
guidance the average citizen is a lost person, and will vote on the basis of
who will deliver him the services needed by him at the local level.
I hope I am not adding a sour note on the subject. There was a move by some
priests in Goa to set up an organisation which would work towards the
cleaning of the political system, even to the extent of sponsoring the right
candidates. From a report that was posted on Goanet, the higher ups in the
church shot it down. Does anyone know what happened to it?
