    The outlook of the majority of politicians is changed completely

    In the earlier days, politics was treated as a service to society. Many people sacrificed their lives for the cause of the nation. Leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Lal Bahadur Shastry, PV Narasimha Rao, Vajpayee, etc served the country without expecting anything in return. They never thought about their personal gains or benefits. They worked for the development of the nation.

    But these days such leaders are very less. Now politics is not a service area it is a profession. People elected will get a salary and pension. Many leaders are always busy making money. They never forget the proverb; 'Make hay while the Sun shines.' They concentrate more on making money in any way it is possible. The situation made me say that the outlook of the majority of politicians is changed completely. All other members may also agree with this statement.

    I will put it in slightly different way by telling that the number of corrupt people in political system has increased significantly in the recent times as compared to the earlier times. It is not that everyone was honest in the past because we had heard about so many scams and so many corrupt practices that made headlines in the newspapers.
    What is alarming today is increase in the number of dishonest people in political profession. This has to be addressed at the top level and there should be some way to reverse this trend.

    Knowledge is power.

    Money and wealth making is the main aim of many and most politicians now. They always aim at plush positions starting from the grassroot panchayat member onwards and if not becoming Minister, then Chairmen and Board members of various bards and corporations with all the attendant power and perquisites and influences, which again can fetch more wealth and money.
    Even with a short term in such positions they devise strategies to procure money and wealth to make their future life(even for next generation) secure and safe.
    As politics have also become a business, now there is a very strong Business-Politics nexus which even encourages and leads to illegal, immoral and antisocial activities with the aim of procuring indefinite wealth and to lead a luxurious life for them. Whatever scams reported are proof of that.
