Where's morality in politics?

Government has done nothing to curb prices of essential commodities. Why blame the BJP alone as a party supportive of ?bania? community? Congress is equally guilty of aligning itself with the traders in order to enable the latter to fleece the "aam aadmi" whose cause it is surprisingly claiming to espouse; there is no escape for any political party to seek funds from businessmen, who, in turn, forces them, quite often, to serve the latter's interests by letting them make money by questionable means.
