Question

Does this suggest that in democracies people contest elections only to make money? But isn’t it true that there are politicians committed to the well-being of the people?

Answer 1

Most democracies get their power from the Constitution. As a result, it is incorrect to claim that all politicians run for office just for financial gain. Some politicians run in elections to help the destitute. According to Chanakya’s Artha Shastra, corruption is invisible, much like a fish in water, whether it drinks or not. It should be managed through political reforms and improvements in public behaviour.
