Two frogs have been shown on either side to depict the practice of defection resorted to by some politicians. Three politicians have been shown in the sculpture. They represent the good and bad politicians.

According to Mr. Manipal, people should not sit at home on polling day giving the excuse that all politicians were corrupt and that there was no point in voting. “Every vote is important. Its power to bring about a change in cannot be ruled out,” he said. .”
