^^ no1 but us, the people, can remove that factor from politics. As long as the voters go crazy over religion, casteism etc politicians will keep on trying to build their vote banks over such issues. Right now there is too much political focus on religion because people still vote over that. If people believed in development politics then that would have been the prime focus of any government and they would have actually tried to develop this country. Politicians today , instead of improving infrastructure, removing archaic laws, improving existing laws and creating jobs, are more focused on providing free food(for namesake). In no way am i denying the fact that basic necessities like food, water, sanitation, a place to live-in etc. should be made available to every citizen of this country but providing free food is in no way a permanent solution to this problem. All inclusive development is the answer to these problems but no politician seems to interested in doing that. Because we, voters, are still stuck on religion, caste etc. Not everyone of us but, yes, most of us.
