M P/M L A to continue full term

M Ps and MLAs are elected for five years. when in mid term an MP contests for State legislature or an MLA contests for Parliament, he breaches the public trust and his promises.Further, it costs heavilly on public exchequr as well as disturbing regular works of public servants who are engaged in re-election duties.

is it not proper to ban this practice and make it binding upon the leaders to represent the seat for which they have been elected, till disolusion of house?

Dear Doctor, I have already replied to ur beautiful question which will put into every body thinking. Sir, our weakness is we discuss everything and as usual go to work and forget everthing in work. So politicians know this weakness they are capitalising our weakness. U have said that to ban the practise. Contesting for MP/MLA constitutency shows how much politicians are interseted to work for the people. They will pledge the life of the people and even they are ready to sell the country for their development. This is all drama by them they show as if they are working for the country people, it is all showoff. Bladdy politicians.

I AGREE WITH MR.RAJEEV,BUT ALL POLITICIANS WE CANNOT BLAME

 One more suggestion. An MP or MLA contesting from more than two constituencies simultaneously puts enormous burden on tax payers. Tomorrow he will contest from from more than two constituencies. Still more burden. 

Hypothetically speaking, can't he contest from the 543 Lok Sabha seats? If there is no restriction on two seats, how can there be restriction on 543 seats?

 I think both Indira Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi contested simultaneously from Rai Bareilly and Chikmagalur (Karnataka). Both won both the seats and then resigned Chikamagalur seat. If a few crores went down the drain, it was lost in the din of victory.

Further, is it not a cheating and breach of trust of the public when an elected candidate resigns at his whim? should he not be penalized and be liable to bear the cost of re-election?

Anil Agrawal (Retired)     24 October 2009

 In the first place, why should he be allowed to contest from two places? Totally agree. The entire expenditure on re-election should be recovered from him.
