Just thinking of joining Congress...

   From last many days i was thinking of joining congress (I even applied on their website but got no response) and yesterday i got the news that former Indian captain Moh. Azarrudeen will be a candidate in next poll on ticket of congress. The person who put the prestige of county at stake for monetary benifits and was banned for entire life from professional cricket. 2-3 days back, there was news of some history sheeters joining BSP. But basically each party has these elements just in differing ratio. When i see this scenario , it makes me feel sick that if i think of joining politics, i will have to work for/under/with these kind of people.

   But on the other hand, it is because of this scenario, that more of common people(like me ;) ) need to come forward and join politics. Only then the corrupt ones could be brought in minority. Also I m not  joining congress because of its performance or great policies or great leadership, it is just because of the glorous past it has,the leaders like Gandhi and Patel, the role it played in the freedom struggle and how it brought the political awakening in the mass. And these things still are there for me have enough reasons to join the congress. But i just wonder whether i will be able to continue with my old principles in this scenario or not. I will be able to answer it in next 5-6 years after spending some time in the field , so till then lets wait and watch...
