The state of politics
The case of the Member of Parliament from Hassan, who is alleged to be involved in the rape of and assault on several women and the recording of explicit videos, is a metamorphosis of the deterioration of the Indian electoral process (‘Ground Zero’ page, “Power play, politics, and perversion” May 11). It is shocking that political parties nominate candidates with a criminal bent of mind as money and muscle power are the factors that count.
There needs to be justice and the electoral process purged of criminals.
