Given the latest stuff on Mandalization of central univs and IITs and IIMs and a few other stupid decisions being taken by the government which are being allowed to go scot-free, I strongly suspect some problems with the incentive structure for the politicians. In the current first-past-the-post democracy, it seems to be becoming far more easier to play vote bank politics, and none of the politicians are complaining.
Somehow need to figure out a new system (expected comment – what’s the use anyway) which makes these buggers actually work in the interest of the nation.
