Elect people who have character, calibre, capacity, conduct:

Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu on Sunday exhorted people to look for four qualities while electing their representatives - character, calibre, capacity and conduct. Those who possess a set of other four Cs - cash, community, caste and criminality - should be shunned and there should not be any discrimination on the basis of caste, religion and gender, Naidu said.

"If people want to give someone a job of responsibility... in the panchayat, as an MLA and or as an MP, they should elect those having the four qualities of character, calibre, capacity and conduct. "But it is unfortunate that a set of politicians does not have these four Cs. They are interested in having cash, community, caste and criminality. People should avoid them," Naidu said at a function organised to mark the centenary celebrations of the Patna University's library here..
