FOR BETTER FUTURE

FOR BETTER FUTURE:

The present trend of arrogance of power, lack of accountability and responsibility in governance is fast changing the democracy to anarchy. Rampant corruption at the top has corrupted the masses. Ministers and MPs think they are the rulers like maharajas of the past and their acts are beyond questioning by the public who elects them. We are the “mango people in banana state” according to Robert Vadra who is shaming the citizens and the nation in the same breath without regret. Is it his humor or lack of understanding the English language or total contempt for the people and the nation out of sheer arrogance of power? This must stop.

Present system of governance needs change. This is possible if a majority of honest people could be elected to the Assemblies and Parliament. Honesty then would flow from the top to bottom as the corruption is flowing now. Would it be impossible to find a few hundred honest ones from a population of 120 million? Time has come to discard the old set of corrupt politicians and give a chance to the new set of would be public leaders in the parties of Kejriwal and Ramdev. They want to form their own political parties; oust the present corrupt government and give honest governance by winning elections within the existing democratic frame work. How many honest one they can get and how long they will remain honest only time will tell? They are honest and we see a better choice in them. They have no grass root political infrastructure and resources to fight elections where money, caste and minorities play crucial role, but have a workable game plan; so let us fight elections with them and cast our vote to their party candidates. The plus point is that they have wide support on their issue or “Mudda” of corruption and a clean image. Nothing will change till their party is in majority in the parliament which may be a distant dream but worth a try being the only hope for corruption free governance. They are honest men with honest intentions to be relied upon compared to most in the present day politics.

Anna Hazare and Civil Society is creating Jan Gagran: They want to support honest political candidates from out side. They are going to ask the public to vote the honest epresentatives whether independent or in any party without themselves entering into actual politics. This is a flawed concept.”Neki kar kuen mei daal”. Because such honest candidates fighting elections are not and will not be in Anna’s control. How he or anybody else can guarantee for their honesty after they are elected. Their loyalty will be either to their party or to themselves. Anna would be irrelevant to them after elections and his efforts to get them elected will go waste. Anna’s movement got big support on corruption eradication platform but lost its sheen later because people have to do their jobs and can not sit on fast for long and go to support someone who is not Anna’s man. I think Anna should openly support Kejriwal and Ramdev’s party candidates because they can not bring dubious characters to contest after speaking so much against corruption and their mudda being the same.
