Heard On The Street:Hats off to our democracy:

Freedom of speech, thought and media is the very essence of Indian Constitution and Democracy.
We allow all such freedom for all that is said in praise of Indian Polity, after all we are the rulers. Historically and traditionally also, all kings used to have court jesters and poets to do this job.

An officer getting favours in cash and kind for doing a job is graft and corruption whereas for a politician it becomes a reward for his service to the citizenry.

A commoner wanting to get some reimbursement for doing or not doing an action is blackmail. A politician demanding a ministerial berth, portfolio of his choice ( considerations are known to one and all of this country ) or big fat economic package  for extending support to matters of national interest is POLITICS and is merrily played by one and all of the Indian polity.
