The old and retired politician from New Delhi was assigned the topic for an after dinner speech, “Honesty in Politics”. When he was called upon he arose, bowed and said, “Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen: Honesty in Politics – there ain't any.” And he sat down.
Politics cannot be honest. Greed, lust, how can they be honest? Politics cannot be peaceful. Ambitious people, how can they remain peaceful? If they remain peaceful they are losing time. They have to fight. They have to fight in every possible way. They can't lose any opportunity to fight. Any excuse to fight has to be used, and molehills have to be made into mountains, because it is through fighting that somebody becomes powerful.
