If the parents are held guilty for the felony of their sons/daughters; a principal for any mishap in the school, a doctor in case of mis-treatment of a patient, an engineer for any failed project, company's MD or CEO for his company's adventures, Captains and coaches for their team's failure, state Chief Minister for mis-handling the issues in their states, why not a PM for failure in discharging his, as well as his government's duty? The question is--should we redefine the responsibility and accountability in case of the highest office? Why does it enjoys insulation from being held responsible and not coerced to demit office?
Is the PM's post and his office is only for bread and circuses; only for plethora of perks, allowances and facilities? Should not he/she take responsibility for the failure of his government in discharging the primary duty for its citizens laid down in constitution? or is it only for discourses, and visits, and reclusive life.? And seldom coming out in public to play the blame game or prophesy about the future and concealing the failures of his/her government and its policies? or, indicting a country for upholding its laws against a single bureaucrat? Here you have payed with more than a billion lives, and still, displaying your acumen in honking sophistry on the opposition. Bah!. Have not you and your ministers expedited the Indian politics' dying an un-natural death? Or is on a death-bed and under the influence of a sedative?--where persons bestowed with the responsibility of a country will avail all the facilities of a lavish life and shun from all the allegations. Literally, remaining Hermetically sealed?
Mr Anna Hazare and his tattered team were absolutely right in raising the issue of corruption. And had had awakened the masses against this evil. But, history reckons of such successful endeavors in the past also. His one time keen follower and bookman has parted ways to teach the politicians a lesson or two in the discipline called politics. It is rueful that this pupil of his has himself took the plunge to learn few lessons from his future students and adversaries. Otherwise he may have acted on his promise of a hot-line number to combat corruption. Out of eighteen points, he has shown to the nation that with a little maneuver in the public funds, applauds and confidence of the electorates can be won easily. And the chimera of ruling India can be visualized by the coterie of people, striving to excel in a new field called politics. Otherwise, they may not have declared, boastfully to contest the coming general elections with such fanfare. My advise to them is--you have won Delhi, make a mark there first, and en-cash the success there to other states, don't ride on the wave created with the sentiments of the populace. Your success in Delhi was a stepping stone towards a better India, make it a cornerstone and still a touchstone. Better cut the Gordian knot than playing with the sentiments of people. The whole nation is watching closely all your steps and moves; so, be careful before declaring any agenda and panjandrum. What happened to your promise of sending the corrupts to the jail? Are you working on it? or the issue has been sent into a cold cauldron?
Last year, we have seen ruckus in the parliament, when towards the fag end, the octogenarian PM was trying to formulate few bills to contain the corruption. You all closed ranks to avoid this bill. It is another matter that Congress party got it passed in a haste: to save its severely dented face from further calumny in the mind of the public.
With all the state machinery at your disposal, why you were inapt in containing the riots? For votes and the chairs? Come on, my dear, respected leaders. At least be honest with your responsibilities. Forget the caste politics, there are examples, where despite hailing from the smaller groups and communities, governments have performed well and the public, rising above their caste and creed have given them the verdict to rule again.
If every headman can be held responsible and accountable for his/her institution, why not each and every office? Let there be discussion on this and politics be redefined, where Machiavellian laws are declared obsolete and new laws are laid, which will be responsibility driven, not caste or creed-driven. And the man/women holding the highest office should take responsibility and step down in case of the failure of his/ger government. Then only we can take India to a new height in each and every field with humanity taking a lead not fooling terms like communalism.
