Rules Aren't For Politicians
There's a criterion one must follow to become a politician and fit for government public service posts. Every country has its own set of rules and the majority of are similar one must be a citizen of that country, one must be above 25 years of age, one mustn't have been involved in any criminal case, etc. And every politician must have these qualifications.
Reality
But the reality is different. In India, these are the set rules for someone to stand for any political post.
Must be a citizen of India and registered as a voter.
One must not be less than 25 years of age.
Shouldn't be involved in any illegal and criminal activities.
And these qualifications increase with the increase in political posts like the chief minister, president, etc.
All the two points are followed by them but the last point, hell no. There are many FIR for criminal activities charged against them but the action taken is minimal and after some time the FIR record itself is removed. In case of multiple legal FIRs against a chief minister, he should be immediately removed from his post but in reality, what happens is that in the name of investigation and justice the police as well as the court takes years to conclude a judgment and they just increase dates or either delay the court meetings. Here every 5-year election of the Chief Minister happens and after their corrupt tenure their reality is revealed but till that time they have enough stories and proofs made to escape from such cases.
While if you are in any government job a simple fake or real FIR (First Information Report) for fake reason can cost you your job or even make you unfit for getting any government jobs further on.
I think I have mentioned above this in one of my posts still I would post again, the winning party of last previous 2-3 year's election, appointed a 10th fail political leader for a post of Education Minister in my state Jharkhand. Can you imagine this troll, I know we shouldn't judge people but here it's a very bad decision to put such an underqualified leader for such a responsible post. There are many more troll examples but I wouldn't talk more about them or I will lose some brain cells, lol.
Fake Influencing And Promises
Why do people vote mostly? Frankly speaking, people vote for a specific candidate based on his promises like many politicians in India use this approach that they will give employment when their political party wins this election and after becoming there's no word for it. India has a great unemployment ratio probably 2/10 are employed. And all politicians use this to their advantage. But one thing I don't understand is how people get fooled by the same fake promises every time.
An Action Has Been Taken
And against this fake influencing, this time words are reached to the apex and Supreme Court of India to stop such fake influencing and promises done by them and make strong rules and punishments for such parties and politicians. But I have very less faith that something good will happen over this as the dates are being delayed for no good reason. But if a strict rule comes out then the system of politics will be changed and at least they will be truthful about their promises.

Final Thoughts
Most politicians eat the money of the government which they get from the taxes which we normal people pay still they think of it as their money and use it for their own luxury instead of the work for which they are appointed. It's the people who are paying them to do work for the development of nation.
Recently I made a post that an Enforcer department (ED) is tracking and charging corrupt people in India with huge illegal money and so far more than 90% of the caught culprits are politicians. What's more to say?
And no there are good politicians also though I never met one but read about some, so don't feel bad if you related to them maybe the one you are related with is a good one. And some have done great work in their era, it was a great profession as the politicians were respected most for to their work.
What about your place, are the politicians same at your place?

I was watching about politicians and even people in authority and local citizens earlier. Every story has it's side and as a "Christian" there are many things we should consider watching and judging the situations fairly. You're right, men's rules are not followed and in your country it's depressing to know 90% of them are corrupted of hurt or painful childhood programming, carried on until adult.
As we are moving to more developments, it would be uplifting to let people know how taking responsibility now will help us removed the bad programming we had.
Empowerment and building up is better than passing the issue to our elders, to the government's system, to our pasts, to what we don't have. It's better than complaining and not living fully.
