Blame our democracy of the people by the people for the people. Our FPTP sys is faulty. Still all the power to select bureucrats, Police, Judges, CBI, CID, CVC, CECs , Governors, VCs, CMDs of all PSU are vested on them.

Even the courts who settle cases must help municipalities to rise funds for repairs etc. more
