They are a reflection of the society we live in . At least industrially he has put Gujarat ahead of all the other states .
Coming to some basic issues ...let us have a cut off date for politicains . Why should these guys go on till they can't even walk . Second you need to bar criminals and try to get educated guys into politics . For that you will need a constitutional amendment because as things stand now the more the population of a state the more seats they get which is why you only see the likes of Mayawati , Lalloo Mulayam et al being discussed during election time . Thirdly you need to restrict the number of political parties .
But even as things stand now we can take heart from the fact that in spite of for all our ills we are still a democracy having regular elections which means nobody can take people or power for granted .

CHEERS !!
