Speaking about political compulsions he said,”If we ask our politicians to bring these changes they are not going to do that. Honest attempt 10-20% parliament can bring change national outlook. In a constituency if a particular community is dominant usually the candidates from the same are given tickets”.
He also gave call to decentralize power, “Decentralization of power is also an important factor that has to be done. We need amendment in the panchayat Raj model, the corruption is prevalent in Delhi and state capital because it has too much of vested power concentrated at specific place. We also need power to recall in certain cases”.
