Politics is a very much dynamic phenomena. It is latent in every aspect of our lives. We all are directly or indirectly involved in politics. Sometime politics is very expressive in its way. The very recent covid19 pandemic also shows how people can use even a disease for their diverse purposes. In democracy also political leaders can try to distract people from main focus to other unnecessary issues which benefit the political parties in a larger way. Sometime common masses also do not understand the political agenda of party in power.Even in democracy a government can emerge as very powerful even to the extent of controlling people’s attention to fulfill its own political purposes. Political leaders make vows in front of people but after winning the election most of the time they fail to keep the promises and people becomes dissatisfied. Political leaders never leave a single thing to make it politicize and that’s why they utilize to do politics with every things.
