When people like Shahbuddin, Mukhtar Ansari, Pappu Yadav and JPN Yadav can become MPs and MLAs, why can't they be ministers? Actually, constitutionally they have right to become a minister after winning an election. So, we can?t escape from our responsibility by just being critical. It is also true that most of us do not vote. If we can?t vote then morally we have no right to blame others? These people are in because we let them in.
