  • Based on party manifesto before GE, every politician sweet words that they are willing to served their wards but immediatelybafter wining the GE they want to be served. Once they know that they are standing on soft ground and realise that they are not the favorite candidates to win the GE , what cross on their mind instead of work extra hard to win people heart is money politics.
