But in my opinion, more than education, there must be many other qualities like honesty, trustworthiness, sincerity. And many more.

These are very important qualities a politician should have. It is not only the politician should educated but also the people should be educated. Then only the people can choose the right person to rule the country. At last in my point of view "only the education can't do anything, knowledge is also important . A true leader need not be educated but sensitive, honest, is full of zeal and enthusiasm, readiness to serve in true spirit such qualities can make a person a political leader if you peep into past when janpads and mahajanpads were formed having chieftans to decide for their tribes or janpads they needed no academic qualification for it.
