The impact of corruption scandals on yesterday's election results will be a matter of raging debates. In each of the states, there may have been many factors including the issue of graft. However, it would be interesting to know what the incumbent leaders are thinking.
Politicians who occupy high positions are a paranoid lot. They ought to think that the endless coverage of scams had an impact on the election results. You would think there would be some course correction, especially by those who are already in tricky situations. Unfortunately for the common person on the street, harboring any such hopes looks foolishly optimistic.
Activists must keep up the relentless pressure for accountability in public life. In any functioning democracy, this is a struggle that never stops.
