Need for electoral reforms:

Every political party has the sole intention of fixing up its vote bank rather focussing on Nation's development. In today's arena, we the Indian are world's #1 work force resource with intelligence, creativity, and cost effectiveness. If we stabilise our national situation we could earn a lot on international front and become world superpower.
What we need is strong reforms on political front. The Election Commission has a lot to do with. If we filter the entrance of candidates at entry point in elections, we could see amazing results. The commission can impose up certain restrictions in Parliament elections by fixing minimum required candidates criteria, state-level requirement criteria while permitting formation of parties and election nominations. In today's circumstances, the independent candidates are becoming more important than that of largest winning party's number of candidates. The Independent candidature nomination should have revised set of rules that will help up cleaning the rule.
