Bureaucrats should not be allowed to join politics immediately

My view is that the High Court Judge or a bureaucrat who tenders a resignation should be asked to wait for at least six months and then be permitted to join a political party. For a year, he should work as an ordinary member of the party he decides to join. Thereafter, he can be given a party ticket to contest Lok Sabha or a Vidhan Sabha election.
