Should Indian politician be also held accountable for what they do in their personal lives?



Do you think our Politicians must abide with a code of conduct? Or is it okay for them to guard their secrets under the garb of privacy? - a healthy discussion in the wake of alleged scandal stories in Kerala and Andhra Predesh.

Nicholas Sarkozy announces his affair with Carla Bruni. Bill Clinton Admits his liason with intern Monica Lewinsky.
Andhra Pradesh Governor N D Tiwari resigned in the wake of a raging controversy after a sting operation purportedly showed him in a compromising position with three women.
Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee leader Rajmohan Unnithan was taken into custody from a rental house after mid night with a woman and later handed them over to the police authorities.
Is it the turn of the Indian politicians who to be more transparent about their personal lives, considering the social powers and the role they have in shaping the Indian democracy? Or is it okay for them to guard their secrets under the garb of privacy?

"The alleged news story is nothing but a 'tissue of lies' and is denied" Tiwari said
"Nothing immoral was there and the issue is purely politically motivated" Unnithan said



There might have some politics behind both cases, Let's ignore that side of the story and whether it's right or wrong


Do you think they must abide with a code of conduct ?
What are your expectations ?

I agree, one has all the right to protect their privacy but they have no right to hide their wrongdoings!
at least respect the powers that you have over other pople. Have the balls to accept your relationships in public!

A matured women and man has the right to share their bed
it’s not going to be a legal violation in India, if women too wishes to share her boy unless its rape.
They are political leaders. so what?

Thanks for ABN channel of Andhra & Malappuram people who brought out the real face of these politicians.
They are not left free in the cool shade of extra privacy. should be prosecuted & this story should be a good lesson for all indian politicians.

I agree
This is just an attitude of people talking about moratities in public especially of Malayalees. Nothing wrong when a man an woman having concentual sex somewhere in a private place. If it is a political trap or it happened for real, who cares. Don’t waste time on this news folks

politicians are demi God here, in India.
then tey have to follow a code of conduct.
They could have their privacy. but engage in these type of activities is not the matter o privacy but the matter of ethics. what they, policicians boasting and how cheap to throw allegations against other politicians?

One needs to uunderstand the difference between "Concensual sex' & 'sex for undue favours" -which the Indian legal sysytem too has clearly differentiated and treated seperatly.
So i strongly feel that such cases needs to be taken on a situational basis as is laid down by the rule of the land & undoubtedly be effected to all politicians/other public figures as is with any ordinary common man in this country.

The so called 'moral policing' by the ordinary people (which we see quite often) needs to be condemned by all means.
