"In the 17 national general elections held so far, the people have changed the ruling party or combination of parties eight times, which accounts for nearly 50 per cent of general elections. In spite of the large scale inequalities, illiteracy, backwardness, poverty and the alleged ignorance, the people of independent India have proved themselves to be intelligent and up to the task."
“the masses have performed their duties reasonably well” and now it is “the turn of those who are manning the key organs of the State to ponder if they are living up to the Constitutional mandate.”
