The marathon election process in biggest democracy is still under way. But the tamasha and thrills are far from over yet. If you have closed observed this five yearly 'mela' then you would agree with me that it's not less then 1980's Bollywood movies but of course without any lead hero though containing all 'masala' to entertain public.
Just before the starting of this 'mela' those who were together suddenly turn out to be untouchables for each others. And untouchables become best friends.
The likes of Lalus and Paswans were in cabinet of Congress led government but The speeches and tones of them have become embitter for Congress. If they had such strong dislikes about Congress then how their morales [if any they have] could allow them to stay with Congress for so long. They should hang themselves based on morale ground because they were with a party which harassed minorities [read as vote bank] by allowing the demolition of Babari.
Case of Mulayam and Amar Singh is more mirthful. They were proven saviours for Congress when government was on the verge of collapse. But today their songs are not hidden.
And they gave birth to 'Fourth' front. Welcome this new child in Indian politics whose role would be to fuel post-poll drama by saying famous dialogue 'picture abhi baaki hai mere dost'. Actually the way new fronts are popping up it reminds me that using them for our population index would not be a bad idea. Each election new front and each issue new front.
Now little talk about existing impoverished kid called third front. Frankly speaking despite following politics closely if you ask me its constituents then I would say sorry. But one thing I can confidently say that it is been coined and used before every election by our left parties and with the support of few 'guest' regional parties. Also if I remember then they have something called 'common minimum programme' [CMP]. Great!! To run a country like ours we need only minimum programmes which are agreed among themselves [and time to time with Congress] so it is called 'common'. It is important to mention here that CMP tells the nature of left parties that how much they willing to agree with others [Only minimum]. Does it make make any sense to let them run the country on life support system [CMP]? How can we become a superpower unless we get rid of this CMP agenda.
The two national parties are basically bullied by seasonal regional local opportunistic fronts and parties. Our 'budhiya' party looks a bit younger and organised than our 'second kid'. Sometime I laugh at the kind of discipline shown by BJP where if one leader say something today morning another has to contradict by evening. I strongly believe that BJP should show more responsible role now then before and it should allow younger dynamic leaders [no need to name here] to take up national role.
On the other hand Congress should get out of shadow of one family to consider the whole country as a family. Please stop giving so much importance to a family and prove no more monarchy exist in India. Charles Darwin never proved that a kid of a great person [if people believe someone was really great in Nehru family] can not be great anyway. We can not run a country from one apartment any more [because country can not afford another Bofors to benefit friends and family].
It is painful to see no leader pleading the voters to vote on the name of development. One reason perhaps is that they do not have anything to show on the name of development. Instead leader/parties are asking votes by proving other leaders/parties more devil in nature than themselves.
Now most funniest statement coming from Mulayam and gang:- this guy says that if voted to power he will ban use of computers in country. ???? Does it mean we will vote for a leader who has intention to bring our country on reverse gear. Deve gowda is Mulayam of south. This guy says he wont get vote from professionals so he can not allow software industry to grow.
Well! I am tired of cursing politicians out of my frustration [My normal routine prior to elections as most of us usually do]. But I am here today not to discuss just problems but also to do my bit to solve it. What we can do to change most of these if not all. And the only word which comes in my mind to solve most of them is 'Chetana' [consciousness], Develop chetana in Aam aadami
I know none of us is a superman to change everything overnight on their own but together we can create a force. There are many organisations who are already engaged in doing this much before we even started thinking about these issues. And we can see the difference. As a of these Chetana work, these elections are much more relevant and meaningful then previous elections and it is bound to get better as India has to change and lead world which is in her destiny and we should believe that it will happen. It is up to us if we want to play a role to make this happen or just want to see all these happening from sideline as a fauna who never came out of pet and prajanan [Stomach and reproduction]. We should start getting involved with such organisations filled with intellectuals who compromised their individual dreams for Rashthra Dharma [duty for nation].
This article is part of my bit towards my role and would be successful if any of you is inspired to do you bit [:)].
Om Namh Shivaye!!!
