The last few days saw a quick turn around of events for the Presidential elections. Firstly there are many names coming out of the Congress party finally nominating a women for the post . Then there was an independent candidate standing for Prez supported by the NDA. And finally there comes the trump card thrown by the Third Front which brings politics into the highest honoured post in the Indian Democracy. Finally things settle down favouring the ruling party according to the statistics.
Most of the politicians do find ways to keep involved in active politics. Whether it is BCCI or some control boards or anything. They do have a stinch of politics for almost every public sector boards which makes it an interesting fight for the groups rather than spending quality time on issues which are of national importance. This does not support the view that politicians don’t spend time on issues which are of concern for the nation , they do but it is very less compared to what they spend on others.
As the mutli party system exists we have more than 50 parties each one trying to make its own presence by highliting issues which strike an emotional cord with the people be it seperate state,religion,reservation what ever….Each party has its own agenda which covers a certain section of ppl whom they consider a vote bank…
Why not take up national issues like Linking rivers….which should have been started by now rather than fight for some posts…We are more into politics than the actuals….probably that is the reason why China has more to offer than India.. It has built one the world’s biggest dam recently.. Today it has rail network which is more than of India’s. …They have one of the best infrastructures developed in recent times…Last few years China has used every oppurtunity to show case its commitment and dedication for the development.. I’m not here to say we are bad….I’m very much sure we would have done much more better than we actually are doing…
