Yeah I too think that local level political leaders are far more corrupt. And if this is true then I think we can mend the current situation. These local level leaders are easily accessible than those at national levels. We just need the initiation.
PS: Currently, I'm also fighting for one good cause against my college officials of student section. To mention, I'm the only one concerned for that cause and others even don't bother about it even it is going to benefit many.😔
