Shrewdness,
intrigues, manipulations and deceitful skills are supposed to be the main
ingredients of politics through which we try to gain authority, such skills play
a significant role in formation of government and above all, people who have
such traits becomes a decision maker of not only their own
destiny but others too. Democracy
imparts immense freedom to people to participate in making policy for their
progress, take care of their welfare by involvement in system and election is
platform which invites people to come forward, play a role of decision maker
either by getting themselves elected or elect others by casting their vote.
Franchise
plays crucial role in democratic system of government. We caste our votes and
elect our representative to run a system with
expectation of positive outcome from their acts. But the question rises
do we really elect right people ? Are we aware of our power given by system which
entrust ultimate power in other hands who later becomes owner of our destiny ?
Are our elected members capable to lead us on path of welfare, peace and
prosperity ? Hundreds of such questions emerge during the time of election
which always pose questions before us regarding our selection of representative,
issues on which we caste our votes, issues which concerns with our day to day
life.
There
are hundred of issues exist in our social system which need to be taken care of
while we do politics in order to sort out those issues. Hence application of
ingredients such as shrewdness, intrigues and all the odd means becomes
imperative. Our politicians leave no stone unturned in order to get issue based
support from the voters so this is not called bad politics since our democracy
requires such tactical steps in political system. Our social system is so disintegrate
and weak that there can never be mere one or two issue during election but if we suppose that by dint of specific issue
some came into power doesn’t it become their responsibility to take care of all
section of society?
The real
test of our politicians lie in when they came into power in fact their same
shrewdness, same polity continues albeit in looting exchequer, become more bias and confine to do development work of
particular community, caste or religion.
Politics
take upper hand during election but the issues of development, impartiality,
good governance and welfare of one and all needs also to be entertained on priority
basis later on when we came into power. Hundred of significant issues such as unemployment,
education, poverty, development of infrastructure or say issues which is universal
in nature fail to take same space and pace in comparison to the local projects
which directly concerns with vested interest politicians. Foremost thing is our
inability, inefficiency, lack of sincerity and biasness causes big hurdle in
executing the scheme & policy which adversely effect over all growth of
state and people.
One side
people who are elected on the basis of caste and religion concentrate only on
fulfilling the expectation of that particular section on the other hand people
who make overall development an issues fail to take confidence of all sections of society. Sometimes question rises when every section of
society want its development then why do they differentiate themselves on the
basis of caste. Answer is quite simple astuteness and vested interest
politician misled people on caste, religion and such leaders when gain power choke
up overall development of state since their shrewdness, intrigues confines to the
level of particular community of their constituency.
A vision
of prosperous and developed state incorporate people of all caste, people of
all religion, upliftment of downtrodden and
overall development of state in the field of infrastructure, power, road and so
on. It is very difficult to figure our such visionary leaders who think beyond
caste, religion, who concentrate on overall development of state since our
social system does not allow to manufacture such leader. In case some visionary
emerge on the horizon in divided society they are trapped, strangulated by
politics of caste and religion because fear of exploitation through the hand of
minority, fear of loosing monopoly in society, fear of being retaliated by
those who were oppressed earlier obstruct growth of such leader.
Participation
of people in government on the basis of religion, caste is not bad idea but at
the same time we must also see who have ideas to change the standard of living,
who have ideas to remove poverty in surrounding, idea to enjoy pace of progress
and idea to take the state on path of progress so people who have perspicacity,
caliber and administrative skills need
to come forward, materialize those ideas, vision into reality it does not
matter which caste or religion they belong.
