Megalomaniac Lady Mayavati!

Mayavati has been on megalomaniac rampage for quite some time now. She started this psychic showoff with statues and now gone on to a garland of crores of rupees. I just wonder where all this money comes from. My own salary is at least five times better than Mayavati’s, but I can not afford any of what she can even after working my entire life. Then where is the money coming from? Obviously black market and she seems to have tied herself nicely to that to convert black into white.

That is the lowest a politician can stoop to. She proclaims herself a messiah of dalits. But when same dalits get killed in stampede in ashram two weeks ago due to poor government's administrative arrangement, she says shamelessly that she has got no money to compensate them. After two weeks she spends billions on a party rally. That is why I call it kangaroo democracy. There is no rule of law it seems. There is no one to ask her that how can she spend taxpayer's hard earned money so lavishly on a party rally. Specially in a place like Uttar Pradesh which is full of poor, uneducated, unemployed people. These are the same people who get beaten up in Bombay trying to earn two meals.

So who is culprit? I won’t say Mayavati. She can not be a culprit. She is a mad woman. And mad in our country can not be pronounced culprit.

We have three culprits here. First is the centre which allows undemocratic elements like Mayavati, Raj Thakre and Shiv Sena flourish. In all these cases centre has acted impotent. Congress obviously gains from the erratic attitude of these psychopath politicians and therefore wants to take no action against them. Had it been Narendra Modi they would have recommended President Rule long ago.

Secondly it is Judiciary. This pillar of democracy has got immense power but remains sleepy all the time. Cases of Mayavati, Mulayam and Lalu’s disproportionate assets are going on in courts for god only knows how many years. But nothing happened. As I have said earlier dumb slow judiciary is the biggest stigma Indian democracy has. We will collapse soon if it goes unfixed. Politicians do not want to fix it for obvious reasons. But we have almost become a country without justice. Judiciary is being led by old, pathetic and corrupt people. We need to bring young and IT driven judiciary system as soon as possible. Simply our laws as well so that everyone know their rights.

Third culprit is people itself. Shame on them who votes in the name of cast even in twenty first century. And if you care for some false pride of your cast, then you deserve people like Mayavati, Mulayam and Lalu, who will keep no stone unturned to take you even further backward. Their survival depends on how ignorant you are. The day you became aware, they won’t survive. High time you do become aware…otherwise it will be difficult for you to survive!

A Country With Kangaroo Democracy!

How often do you see Lalu, Mulayam and Sharad speaking against reservation. In fact these are the people who came in politics with reservation agenda. My wife asks then what makes them so much against women reservations. I can not explain ‘why’, because they themselves have not explained ‘why’. As far as I understand their demand is that they want reservation within reservation. But I am not sure that is what they want. If this is what they want then who stops them to give tickets to sc, st, obc and backward muslim women? Or had they been serious to what they are asking for then till now how many sc, st or muslim women candidate they fielded in elections from their party ticket. Almost none…when they did get chance they preferred giving ticket either to Rabri Devi or to Dimple Yadav. Both Lalu and Mulayam were given power in their respective states for fair amount of time. What is one thing they did to enrich poor, backward schedule cast and tribe. Absolute nothing…They have been winning elections by generating fear among these poor people. They want to remain elite while speaking against elite. It really surprises me how can someone vote these jokers. But that is what India is all about. You are always in for surprise! What i told my wife though is that these are the people who always did identity politics, now they are having identity crisis. By opposing women reservation bill they are just trying to regain their lost identity...that's it! Only difference is that the last time they got some kind of identity was the beginning year of 1990s. They are trying same luck after 20 years which in my view is not going to work...because this new india has given those poor and backwards some power to think for themselves now.

Lok sabha or Rajya Sabha proceedings always frustrate me. Watching a bunch of idiots barking nonstop give me headache. I really wonder how can someone just be suspended for a session after attacking vice-president of India. And then again those pothead gets this offer from ruling party that apologies and come back. Can a common man attack vice-president of India and get away with a mere apology? Why two completely different sets of rules? Why there is no tough law for hooligans of parliament? Why no strict actions ever taken against them after crossing all limits? Sometimes I do get ashamed being called a person hailing from the largest democracy of world…knowing the fact that it is a country with kangaroo democracy.
