Confidence (e)motion

Perhaps the whole world was looking at Indian parliament, which was set to decide the fate of UPA led government. The discussion on confidence motion brought in by Prime Minister on issue of Nuclear Deal with US saw some of the lowest moments in Indian politics.
Firstly, why was the confidence motion brought in ? The Left parties under the leadership of Prakash Karat withdrew support from the government labeling nuclear deal as a blow to country's independent foreign policy. People have clearly seen the real face of Hippocratic leftists. Their ideology is itself questionable. They have supported the government all through and opposed all its moves at the same time. When the inflation grew at close to 12%, these people didn't withdraw support. When the farmers of Vidarbha were creating suicides, they didn't speak. They didn't speak when the coveted 'navratnas' were suffocating. They babble a lot, but unfortunately without substance.
Their double standards becomes more evident in the state they are ruling. While the liberalisation and industrialisation in West Bengal saw the bloodshed in Singur and Nandigram, the same people weren't ready for it to be implemented at the national level.
The Congress has long lost its sheen. Even Sonia Gandhi, who hears her inner voice failed to hear the cries of common people. PM Manmohan Singh who was more comfortable in being a puppet in hands of Her Highness saw a friend in George W Bush. Clearly, the economist SMS was missing not only from the sms jokes but also in political reality. The young scion of Nehru-Gandhi family toured a lot, met a lot of people but alas, had he done more than making promises.
And if one starts counting all wrongdoings of esteemed ministers viz., Arjun Singh, Ramadoss, Shivraj Patil, et al, this post can go on...
The BJP under LK Advani and Rajnath Singh is not the same as was under Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Once it lost power, it has been focussing on all trivial issues and missing on those that matter to aam aadmi. It has failed to question government on inmportant national issues. Had it not been, the parliament would have voted on issues of inflation and internal security.
And with all these parties using politics to appease their vote-banks and to capture power, the aam aadmi, as always is left cribbing for the situation he is in. And, of course, they won't raise voice over whatever wrong is going and blame it all on politicians.

Lastly, as i remember an aam aadmi's message on a news channel
We do not deserve freedom, we deserve to be ruled (again)...
PS:- This is not a China-sponsered article. Their progress is purely because of their own effort.
PPS:- As per our acceptance of modern culture, we have become shameless to be ashamed of our politicians
PPPS:- To avoid allegations of plagiarism, i owe all 'ps pps ppps ...' to M2G
Last things first, that's ok...I copied it too! But, I wasn't polite enough to accept it!
ReplyDeleteRecent developments show the emergence of an option which is Non-Congress and Non-Bhajpa--- Maya!
Indian politics...one of the few shows which can compete with KSBKBT for the longest ever...
I totally agree with you on the Maya point. The point is to wait and see how the things turn out.
ReplyDeleteTill then one has all the masala to watch this show which predates KSBKBT

ReplyDeletefor when I read this post,I agreed with all your 'emotions' but
