Power is heady, addictive and corrupt. Once you taste power you will cling to be there come hell or high water. Look at the old Netas.... what is the collection of antiques at the helm of affairs doing there? creating a geriatrics ward?
If common people are eased out at 60 because they are no more the agile, alert humans they once were, the thirst for power keeps politicians at 70-80 still young and capable of governing a big Democracy like India!
No? Then why are they pursuing netagiri with single-minded devotion, immune to kosi's wrath, mahanadi's mayhem and Bajrang Dal's brutality against Christians, closeted in their ivory towers, dreaming of winning the general elections just round the corner, to grab power once again?
Power gives the right to donate someone's land to your friend, legalise a structure in the middle of the road, create a slum where ther was none, hold back a planeload of aam janta for your late arrival and go globe trotting with your extended clan spending the tax payers' money!
