What do you think about current political scenario in our country?

Chaos and Confusion are ruling the roost in the present political scenario. Pundits say that " Stability " is the hallmark of Democracy. From the existing scenario in India anybody can say that there is no stability in the political scenario.

 In my opinion, I want to see a leader who performs. I want to see a leader who leads by example. I want to see a leader who is a Pathfinder, not a Fault finder. When it comes to what I want to hear from the political leaders is an assurance of transparency. No the attitude of the political leaders is undesirable.

In today's scenario the political parties are going worst than ever, and the parliament houses are looking like battle ground for these political parties. The politicians are shouting with no reason. The congress party looks more frustrated than ever. By shouting and disturbing the work in parliament houses these politicians are wasting the public money and time. Strict action should be taken on the members who are disturbing the work and creating unnecessary situation in the house. We have elected these people to work for our country, not to fight with each other.

As you sow so shall you reap. In management and politics the behaviour that brings success gets multiplied fastest in the organization. BJP when in opposition stalled the Parliament repeatedly and came to power. The Congress now in opposition is following the stalling principle and expects to reap the benefits at the hustings as BJP did. Both these parties behaviour has shown that they care for themselves and not for the interest of the country. BJP wants Congress to change its behaviour in interest of the country but its past behaviour does not morally allow it to do so. Congress is also not showing broadmindedness by changing its style., So stalemate will continue and country shall roll on as usual.

'Yatha Raja Tatha Praja'  or As the ruler so the subjects- is a maxim in a monarchy. But in parliamentary democracy, it is people who elect government.  Political class is drawn from the general pool of people like any other profession or occupation. People are the bulk and politicians just a sample. Naturally, sample represents people.  In fact, we cannot expect the politicians to be any way better in terms of honesty, hard work, integrity than the genral public or any other class. Unlike Pre independence political leadership, the current political leadership has chosen politics just as a profession or career. It makes no sense to think in any other way or expect somethging else. It is also no use differentiating much between different political parties. Somebody may join any corportae house depending on hius assessment of career prospects. Similarly, individuals join this party or that party and even change just for career prospects.  Possibly, some Left parties are an exception but they are very small part of the political landscape.  

The economic policies of major political parties are not different from each other. So in the ultimate analysis, electioneering and parliamentary proceedings are just game politicians play. Only the political parties change role just as sometimes we see in movies. In changed roles, they just repeat the methods of the prior ruling party. similarly, the current opposition party imitates what the other party when in opposition was doing. the lot of people remains almost same. People just get some entertainment by watching drama the politicians play. 

The Ruling class and the Opposition are the two classes of leaders elected by the Common Man to act for a common cause. But, to his surprise, they were always seen fighting and the reasons are beyond his perception. He woke up every morning, read newspaper, did his duties, watched TV, witnessed the fights and relaxed to wake up in the next morning…. After five years he elected them again. They interchanged their roles. Colours and costumes changed; but the rituals remain the same!  The silent spectator continues to watch the drama, bewildered forever… He has his voices, and he shouts occasionally, but his voices are never heard…..       

Political scenario is replete with Selfish lot. They are always on the lookout for opportunities for development avenues for themselves. They are ready to stoop down to any levels to grab what they gain . Are they not chosen by the people who rested faith on these politicians to be the custodian of their welfare ?

I want to see a politician who works for the people and the country.

There are many bills pending in the Rajysabha due to situations created by opposition. The ruling party is not in majority in the Rajysabha, so the opposition always try to stop all the works of government, whether they are for development or not. By doing this the opposition is loosing its grounds between the public.

I think in next few years the situation of opposition will become like it is now in Loksabha. 

For the first time in many decades, we have a very strong prime minister after Indira Gandhi and Bajpayee. More than anything else, we have needed a leader who is firm and strong and has a firm belief in his thoughts and ideas for our country. Although our current prime minister's agenda may be based more on religion, it is perhaps for the first time that any leader has shown more interest in the wellbeing of Hindus as opposed to other PMs. So we do have a reason for hope and trust that there is good to found. The current prime minister is ridiculed by many as just a man who is all talks and no work, and that he spends time and money on foreign tours, but the fact is that he is doing what others neglected, which is to build a positive image of India around the world and attract FDI. So I think, all in all, given time, there is going to be a positive outcome.

Nothing illustrates more poignantly and ominously than the logjam in Parliament for almost the entire.The mother-and-the son are extremely angry for making them lose their hereditary right to rule India! It is our way or no way!! Just think of it during these days the country have had devastating floods , continuing grave provocations from Pakistan.Our MPs are having a whale of a time - eating at canteen,drawing their perks and privileges doing nothing and not feeling the prick of conscience for even a nano-second! Shame! Sick to my stomach,aren't you!

Our parliament houses and state legislative assemblies are the venues of varieties of dramas; nothing classical, but vulgar. The ongoing monsoon session of the Parliament has also been witnessing hilarious scenes and continuous disruptions. But I think we should feel proud of our hospitality and the sense of humour. We have some MPs from Bhutan as distinguished guests in the House. And our Rajya Sabha Chairman expressed his hope that the Bhutan’s MPs would enjoy the session and would learn a lot from Indian Parliamentary system. Every member enjoyed the joke sincerely and laughed as loud as they can. A cartoon without any brush stroke! That is Indian Politics; they can always cover their dirt with a layer of humour.

Working together works. When both the government and the people work together a country tastes the fruits of success. It is these core values on which a successful government works. Both the people and the Government join hands. It is the government's responsibility to see that all its endeavors are directed to involve the people in all its activities. It is needless to say that this exercise of working together warrants for mutual trust. It is this type of government I want to see,

The opposition is shouting and disturbing the parliament work on baseless issues. The issues raised by congress can be solved by discussion, but congress don't want that there will be some work in the parliament. Now public of India is watching all these activities of the opposition, and also the public want that there should be some work done in parliament. Over 15 k people have launched a campaign urging lawmakers to allow parliament to function.

Today let me explain affect of generation change on political events. The capitalist economy is subject to cyclical changes of boom and depression arising from over and under production. similarly, generation gap brings change in political prospects of political parties. It is well said that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.  So when a political party is in power for ten or fifteen years, various scams are discovered. The party gets discredited. It is possible that the opposition party could also have similar record. But owing to generation gap, there would have emerged leadership of new generation and old discredited leadership would have either died or retired. so new political party comes to power. Again the cycle is repeated. for some time euphoria continues. People have hope from new leadership of the current ruling party. Full cycle will turn in ten or fifteen years and scam of the new outfit will appear. The leadership will be discredited. The previous ruling party leadership would also have changed owing to generation gap and so again change of power. There is generation gap of voters also   The young voters are aware of misdeeds of current leadership but they know little about performance of  the previous ruling party now in opposition.

The British left our country, but still we are not free. We have now become the slaves of our own democracy and its dirty politics. Selfishness rules us. Selfishness leads to corruption. Power and position encourage the path of corruption. They know how to steal and how to escape.  And corruption continues incessantly….. We don’t need such leaders…. We need dedicated leaders who work for the nation and for the well-being of the people.… I hope that time is not distant….. It will happen; it is the hope and confidence of a billion.….     

The political space in India is mostly occupied by the BJP and Congress especially at the national level though many regional parties are increasing their influence. At the moment BJP and Congress are locked in a fierce battle of one up man ship trying to out score each other. This has affected the legislation business of the Parliament adversely. However sooner than later this logjam will come to an end. As has happened many times in the past both will come together and pass important Bills like GST for national good and then start fighting again. The battle is for winning the support of the voters for long term as pursuit of power is a legitimate political goal in a vibrant democracy like India. It would be wrong to be pessimistic about political scenario in India because democracy has a way of instilling sense in the politicians from time to time.

In the Current political scenario you see everywhere dereliction of duties, and responsibilities assigned to the elected  representatives. Rampant nepotism is strikingly visible.In a democracy politicians are the representatives of the people appointed as  custodians of the people to safeguard their interests and welfare. Instead, one will see  in every sphere of life politicians acting in a way which is not in tune with the set norms of democracy. This is a deplorable state of condition.

I want to see our politicians appointed by the people should remember this fact and rise up to the people's expectations.

Members from both opposition party and ruling party are blaming each other and doing nothing. Congress put allegations  on BJP for what its members are doing in present and in return BJP put allegations on Congress for what it had done in the past. We have only seen fighting scenes in the parliament instead of any progressive work. In this monsoon session parliament has not functioned properly even for a single day and today is the last day of the current session. Today also Congress seems not in a mood to allow the parliament operate properly.

Some strict rules should be formed so that parliament would function properly and bills like GST which are very important for the growth of our country will be passes at priority.

You like or not, politics is the most dominant career. That is why some I.A.S. officers chose to resign and jooin politics. Ms. Meira Kumar, daughter of Late Jagjivan Ram, a prominent leader in post independence period. But most youth don't select politics as a career. This is not considered gentleman job. Hence the field is free for unscrupulous and corrupt elements. It is futile to blame the malpractices in politics when the 'honest', 'clean'  and 'pious' remain aloof from politics. There can be no vacuum. Unless good people join politics, bad will dominate the political field. 

There is no subsitute for overall public interest and consciousness among common people. There is need for proper political education not only for politicians but also for voters.  Apart from caste, personality cult and other narrow tendencies, there is also rise in 'committed voters';.  committed voters are mentally enslaved to particular political party and will normally vote for that party only. It is only the non committed voters who can take judicious decision. Needless to say that the big army of political workers are by their vary nature 'committed voters'.  But the non political voters need to be non committed and work for a political party judicially. Personally, I am non committed and consequently voted for all major political parties in different elections.   

Religion is the greatest motive power of human being. Politicians take advantage of it and convert beliefs into vote banks. When politics and religion join hands together, humanity divides. They separate human relations with walls and fences of hatred and resentment. Enmity and communal riots prevail. It is a devastating trend……..But, both politics and religion are the Belief Systems of the people. And I think people in India will never have a relief from them; one resides in their mind while the other conquers their soul…… The mind should be in communion with the soul and that will lead to peace and harmony.
