Woh Subha Kabhi To Aayegi?

Woh Subha Kabhi To Aayegi?


We all hope for a new dawn during Anna Movement against corruption and for ‘Swaraj’ (Self Governance referred as true form of democracy with direct people’s participation). Everybody was hopeful for uplift in Indian political system when Aam Aadmi Party was formed by Arvind Kejriwal who was one of the flag bearers in Anna Movement. Aam Aadmi Party promised revival of Indian politics with their different and honest approach towards it. But as Anna Movement proved RSS propaganda to uproot Congress government and establish Modi regime, Aam Aadmi Party too appeared empty in its promises. 

Some of the people associated with Anna Movement later campaigned for BJP and even fought elections on their ticket which clearly revealed their intentions in joining Anna Movement. Anna Hazare too become silent even when there is no ‘Lokpal’ appointed by the Modi Government in more than two years of its rule neither Lokpal Bill is as strong as demanded by him during the protest. The Aam Aadmi Party that formed under Arvind Kejriwal leadership however became successful in winning Delhi Assembly elections and formed government there with aim of doing everything they believe is necessary for true democracy but inexperience, hunger for media highlight and authoritative attitude has sent their promises to the backstage. 

Arvind Kejriwal formed a party with some ideals and opened the gates for everyone to join his party even those in other parties without any test to judge these candidates adherence to these ideals. He just looked at the win-ability factor. As a result his MLA’s and ministers are under constant scrutiny. Many seemed involved in unethical practices which even forced him to remove three ministers from the cabinet namely Jitender Singh Tomar for fake degree charges, Asim Ahmad Khan on corruption charges and recently Sandeep Kumar for sex tapes. Few other MLA’s from AAP are also arrested for different charges. While he claimed he has zero tolerance for any wrongdoing most of the founding members of AAP have leaved the party because they think Arvind Kejriwal has diverted from the real motives of the party. 

There is improvement in Health and Education sector during AAP government but there is hardly any improvement in Infrastructure, corruption, cleanliness, law and order, transportation and other such things which they promised in their manifesto clearly knowing that Delhi is a Union Territory with limited power of its own. Arvind Kejriwal and his party can be seen involved in usual politics practiced by other parties; they justify their actions by giving examples from other parties. Being a common man doesn’t mean you reduce your status to a level of street fighter while talking against your opposition as a Chief Minister some restrictions should be maintained as a public figure. 

I believe in change and also believe that it will come soon but not when the political leader and political parties/government become powerful but when the common citizen has the power to question his/her government and the system can’t deny him/her an answer. We the people have the power to bring the new dawn and we shall have it soon by acquiring more knowledge about the working of our government and challenging their wrong decisions. God Bless India. 

Let's hear the song mentioned in the title:


Politics At Its Best

Politics At Its Best


Before the start of 2013,the preparation for 2014 polls by political parties started in full swing. There are sessions of blame game,there are situations of credit grappling and of course partners swapping. Since 2012 opposition is finding ways to degrade the reputation of UPA government and Prime Minister,with inflation on a high and boom in scams of this government an early poll will be boon for opposition and that's where political game begins.

If any body wants to learn politics observe what is happening in India from 2012. There are so many scams unfolding each day but the big one came with coalgate where Prime Minister was also involved. Opposition took it as an opportunity and disrupted the Parliament's monsoon session without any work,FDI was to be discussed than that's where government played it's first card FDI was passed in the cabinet meeting and than the magic happens it also got passed in the Parliament (Yes,CBI played a crucial role in it but this is how politics work.)

Than came game changer scheme i.e direct cash transfer to lure the lower and middle class changing the focus of masses away from scams and inflation. Then came the Railway recruitment scam which again disrupt winter session and part of budget session opposition was again on a high but to counter that government has food subsidy bill in it's hand for which government is working very hard, what a move I should say. 

But here is more to come,Jagan Reddy son of former Andhra Pardesh CM Late Y.S.R. Ready has become powerful in his state being separated from Congress and it might be possible that he may join hands with BJP after elections also Chandrashekhar Rao of  Telangana Rashtra Samiti is a threat to them. With creation of Telangana UPA and Congress hit two aims with one arrow ,there popularity increases in state and Jagan's power decreases and now Chandrashekhar Rao may again join UPA.

There are also other decisions during this period which are great political moves which I would like to mention,secret hanging of Ajmal Kasab and Afzal Guru,suspicious death of main accused in Delhi gang rape,Lokbal bill passed in Lok Sabha curbing Anna movement, anti rape law came into force,making Pranab Mukherji as president of India. There is still time in 2014 election so we have chances to see more politics in coming months.
