One of the main reasons of corruption in elections today is the lure of power which haunts the
politicians so much that they feel no qualms of conscience in adopting any underhand method to
come out successful. The Watergate Scandal in the U.S.A. is an eloquent example to testify to the fact
how even the top level politicians can stoop to the lowest level in order to maintain themselves in
power. Who does not remember how Adolf Hitler rode roughshod over all canons of electoral propriety
to capture power? In India, also the record of the various political parties is not clean. Corruption
thrives in elections because those in the field play on the psychology of the electorate. The voters are
swayed by the tall promises of the candidates to whose machinations they fall an easy prey. They are
also susceptible to fall an easy prey to the adulations of the politicians due to their illiteracy. Besides, in
the representative democracies today and particularly in big countries the constituencies are quite
extensive obviating the possibility of corrupt practices being discovered. Anti-corruption laws are
honoured more in their breach than in their observance. Even the code of conduct to be observed by
the parties fighting the elections becomes a dead letter in as much as it is jettisoned out of existence
and thrown unscrupulously over board by the unfair politicians whose only aim is to maintain
themselves in the saddle.

Instruction: Read the passage and the answer the question given below.
One of the main reasons of corruption in elections today is the lure of power which haunts the
politicians so much that they feel no qualms of conscience in adopting any underhand method to
come out successful. The Watergate Scandal in the U.S.A. is an eloquent example to testify to the fact
how even the top level politicians can stoop to the lowest level in order to maintain themselves in
power. Who does not remember how Adolf Hitler rode roughshod over all canons of electoral propriety
to capture power? In India, also the record of the various political parties is not clean. Corruption
thrives in elections because those in the field play on the psychology of the electorate. The voters are
swayed by the tall promises of the candidates to whose machinations they fall an easy prey. They are
also susceptible to fall an easy prey to the adulations of the politicians due to their illiteracy. Besides, in
the representative democracies today and particularly in big countries the constituencies are quite
extensive obviating the possibility of corrupt practices being discovered. Anti-corruption laws are
honoured more in their breach than in their observance. Even the code of conduct to be observed by
the parties fighting the elections becomes a dead letter in as much as it is jettisoned out of existence
and thrown unscrupulously over board by the unfair politicians whose only aim is to maintain
themselves in the saddle.
Which one of the following may be the most appropriate title to the above passage?
Corruption in Public life
Corruption in High Place
Elections and corruption

Instruction: Read the passage and the answer the question given below.
PASSAGE:
We have inherited the tradition of secrecy about the budget from where also the system has been
strongly attacked by eminent economists and political scientists including Peter Jay. Sir Richard Clarke,
who was the originating genius of nearly every important development in the British budgeting
techniques during the last two decades, has spoken out about the abuse of budget secrecy: ‘the
problems of long term tax policy should surely be debated openly with the facts on the table. In my
opinion, all governments should have just the same duty to publish their expenditure policy indeed,
this obligation to publish taxation policy is really essential for the control of public expenditure in order
to get realistic taxation implications.’ Realising that democracy flourishes best on the principles of
open government, more and more democracies are having an open public debate on budget proposals
before introducing the appropriate bill in the legislature. In the United States the budget is conveyed in
a message by the president to the congress, which comes well in advance of the date when the bill is
introduced in the congress. In Finland, the parliament and the people are already discussing in June
the tentative budget proposals which are to be introduced in the Finnish parliament in September.
Every budget contains cartload of figure in black and white but the dark figure represents the myriad
lights and shades of India’s life, the contrasting tones of poverty and wealth, and of bread so dear and
flesh and blood so cheap, the deep tints of adventure and enterprise and man’s ageless struggles for a
brighter morning.The Union budget should not be an annual scourge but part of presentation of annual
accounts of a partnership would work much better when the nonsensical secrecy is replaced by
openness and public consultations, resulting in fair laws and the people’s acceptance of their moral
duty to pay.
Which of the following is definitely true in the context of the passage?

To retain power in their hands by continuing in office.
