Should we expect more from politicians in India ?

Embattled Comptroller Hevesi Resignation Likely Friday

Sources have indicated that the Queens Democrat will resign his position Friday in order to avoid being indicted by an Albany County Grand Jury for using state employees to chauffeur his ailing wife for three years.

If this is standard that we held our politicians to, in India too, I wonder how many would still be holding office ? Some times I feel we set too low a standard for our politicians and even the best ones try and meet it or just exceeed it a little.
