Plagued with aberrations

In transitioning from serving people through dedicated cadres to acting on whims of  corporate fundraisers, market-driven political parties are mocking Indian democracy

Apparently, political parties were not considered seriously while drafting the Constitution of India. But today, they are everything to society, the state, and the market. All the three forces — the state, society, and the market — are integrally connected with each other through their functions. They will have to interact with each other in harmony to serve society. People should be the ultimate beneficiaries. The three forces have to be on the track of evolution through constant introspection and reforms. It requires constant vigilance on the part of all stakeholders. People, as citizens, have to watch and assess the performance of the state and, equally, as rational consumers, decide their right choice in the market.
