People have lost faith in their representatives

Today there is a vast erosion of confidence between the electors and the elected and the people are exercising their supremacy against the elected for having failed to fulfil the aspirations of the people.

Those elected to office of Parliament have not lived up to their commitments by fulfilling their duties and responsibilities towards the people who elected them. They have failed to deliver the goods. Therefore the people are coming out on to the streets in large numbers to voice their discontent and dissatisfaction by protesting against those whom they elected and demanding that they all resign as they no longer deserve to hold their positions due to a veritable breach of contract.

Those who have been elected by the people on entering Parliament have forgotten the reason why they have been elected. They seem only concerned about furthering their privileges and ensuring the security of their political career. Some have been abusing the powers vested in them, acquiring for themselves both fixed and liquid assets unlawfully, instead of serving the people and giving priority to providing for their needs. In the process they have deprived the people of the basic necessities and made them suffer due to shortages and insecurity caused by their inability to routinely ensure their basic needs.

Those in power have mismanaged the economy and have allowed the prices of goods to increase to unprecedented heights, making it impossible for people to purchase their daily requirements, due to the devaluation of the Rupee against the US Dollar exponentially. They have squandered the country’s dollar reserves through rampant corruption and the dependency on unrestrained loans without checks and balances by failure to ensure the proper utilization of it for the purpose for which it was taken, making them unsustainable, and consequently making the country bankrupt.

All these factors have forced the people to rebel against the Government and to hold every one of the Members of Parliament accountable. They are now demanding their resignation due to loss of confidence in their ability to govern the country effectively.
