    Hope to see leaders has enough education and knowledge to be a leaders without bias or descriminations. India has to set a minimum criteria for political leaders so that every leaders are aware of their role and responsibilities to govern. Otherwise it will be Pakora Bajya politics and no meanin. Congrats to new mayor. Great victory.god bless you with your new role

    A product of reservations! What practical knowledge and experience will a first time corporator have about his/her city? Caste and class based reservations in politics and jobs can prove detrimental to development as well as national integration.

    This is ok if you look in compititon and gaining peoples emotional sympothy. This will not bring any development for the soceity, reservation for some selected caste is one of the reson where our government organisations failed from good performance. Need to introduce or elect educated , progressive thinkers to handle the soceity. Then only can achive improvement. Otherwise it will be like "mangana kaiyalli manikya kotta hange".

    This is the system of hierarchy in BJP, no dynasty, no nepotism.
    Any common man with no background can achieve political aspirations.

    There is very few in BJP, yes i don't support Yeddy & sons for their doings whatsoever, dynasty politics is not acceptable.
    On the other side Congress and all other regional parties except CPI are full of family business, they don't think beyond family and favoritism.
