Our current political class has realized that they rule the country together. The division into ruling party, coalition members, outside supporters, and opposition is just a matter of detail and share in the exploits of power.
With this tacit understanding their focus is on keeping entry barriers high so the group can remain intact. This is done by raising election expenditure to absurdly high levels and then spending even beyond these limits. Why bother: It will be made good!
The other focus point is to ensure that no one is able to challenge them or throw them out for their licentious behavior befitting oligarchs. And this is why they stand firmly together when it comes to institutions like Lokpal that can do so. It is indeed surprising in the utmost that this glaringly plain truth is not appreciated by public at large.
Such blindness is fostered amongst electorate by covering their eyes with blindfolds of religion, region, caste, class and what have you.
Throw away these blindfolds before you lose vision altogether. See things for what they are and change them if you can.
