'The standard of our teachers, doctors and even journalists have degraded in the past few years. During the elections, a political party can easily buy space in a newspaper or in the electronic media,' stated Advani.

'You just need to pay few lakh of rupees and the newspaper will publish a whole page describing your achievements. The next day, the rival party will buy a page to counter it. This is a serious problem that our present politics and journalism is facing,' said Advani.

'I often tell youngsters who join our party to maintain a clean image and to bring in the ethics of dedication and hard work. If our politicians are corrupt then it will certainly have an adverse effect on our society.'
