JAIHIND! JAIWORLD! GOODDAY,GOODLUCK!
THE POVERTY IS WHO'S FAILURE? THE PRESENT PARTY SYSTEM IN WORLD OVER RUNNING THE GOVERNMENTS IN ONE SIDE THE INDIVIDUAL LEVEL SUCESS WHETHER BIG OR SMALL REMAINING ALOOF FROM THE SOCIETY THE PEOPLE ARE GETTING IN OTHER SIDE MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT ABLE TO TASTE THE SUCCESS. ONE SIDE THE GOVERNMENT CONTROL EDUCATION, HEALTH SERVICES ETC ARE RUNNING WITH DISMAL PERFORMANCE AND OTHER SIDE THE CAPITALIST LED PRIVATE EDUCATION, HEALTH AND OTHER SERVICES ARE SUNNING. WHY THE TWO WAY SERVICES WHEN THE DEMOCRACY CONTROL THE SOCIETY. THE PRESENT WORLD IS FACING CRISIS IN EVERY REGION FOOD, PLANNING, BUSINESS, HEALTH, CULTIVATION, POLITICS BECAUSE THE APPLICATION OF DEMOCRACY IS NOT DONE PROPERLY THE CAPITALIST LOBBIES WORLD OVER TOOK THE ADVANTAGE AND GET THE SYSTEM BY WHICH THEY ABLE TO FORM THE POLITICAL PARTIES THROUGH THE ELECTION COMMISSION PROVISION IN THE CONSTITUTION AND RECOGNISE THEMSELVES CONSTITUIONALLY TO PRESENT THEIR CASE TO RULE OVER THE PEOPLE IN FRONT OF THE COMMON VOTERS. THE REPRESENTATIVE RIGHT IS THE FIRST RIGHT OF THE COMMON PEOPLE AND THIS RIGHT SHOULD BE CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED TO EXTALISH THE RULE OF THE COMMON PEOPLE OTHER WISE THE WAR, VOILENCE, HUNGER, ENVIRONMENT PROBLEMS, RACISM, COMMUNAL VOILENCE AND CRIME WILL NOT STOP. T
THE SOCIETY ALONE CAN DO THE MANY WELFARE TO COMMON PEOPLE BUT AT PRESENT NO SOCIAL SYSTEM IS WORKING IN OUR WORLD TO PROTECT AND GIVE SOCIAL BENEFITS TO PEOPLE. FOR THIS WORLD PEOPLE SHOULD ABLE TO UNITE BEHIND THE SOCIAL SYSTEM AND TO CHANGE THE CAPITALIST DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM INTO THE PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM SO THAT THE BOTH THE SYSTEM WORK JOINTLY FOR THE COMMON PEOPLE AND ALL THE EARNERS OF THE WORLD JOIN THE SOCIETY AND NOT IGNORING THE SOCIETY AND THE SOCIAL VALUE TO PROTECT THE MANKIND.
