There is a general opinion among the Indians that politics is the most profitable business in the country. Even if the leaders invest huge amounts in the elections, they will recover all the investment with high interest when they come to power. Single scam is enough to earn hundreds of crores, if possible thousands of crores.
The politician's family can live on the corrupted money for generations together. Surprisingly, the situation in the country is quite opposite now.
If we take the ministers Narendra Modi government at the centre or KCR and Jagan's governments in the Telugu states, a common phenomenon is observed by political analysts. The corruption at the minimum level. The ministers, MPs, MLAs are unable to earn money to recover their investments as the leaders are very strict in their administration.
Several elected leaders are literally crying, off-the record that their leaders are not allowing them to earn money. When the heads of the government are strict in their ruling, the same thing is reflecting in the cabinet. As a chain reaction, the same thing is reflecting at the grass-root levels as well.
Ministers are not allowing the MPs and MLAs to 'eat' money and they are in turn doing the same in their constituencies. The experts say that this is a rare phenomenon in India.
Some people may think that it is an exaggeration but we can understand the situation if we have a look at the scams and other corruption cases in the recent past. If the new trend continues till the elections, many leaders may not come forward to contest in elections because it is not a profitable business anymore.
The parties will also find it difficult to find the seasoned politicians to contest on their party tickets. It seems, the corruption is slowly decreasing in India because of the strong leaders who are heading the governments.
