The Great Comedy Show

Indian Politics have surely taken a comic turn...the regional fiasco played by politicians for the votebanks is indeed a matter of concern and a hot fav topic for the comedians on many reality shows.

A matter of concern for the central state which boasts of having the national commercial capital as its state capital. The Manhattan of India, it is so called by the bureaucrats and the businessmen. Its image has been bought upwards, pulling it into international fame over a few decades of the past. It is a place where whole of India has been segregated. Migration has always taken place and it will take place in the future, for many hold it as a city of dreams. For so it is now called Mumbai.

But its fame has caught some bad looks, in hindi it is told "nazar lag gayi". The young outfit is desperate in preventing the immigrants landing up on the jobs here. The young outfit is trying to coax businesses, government organisations into reserving jobs for the locals. No doubt they have a right but it is unfair in this globalised competitive environment to be localized, just at the whims of a party that just got recognized by the Election Commission. Not only that, they think that they are the supreme holders of the law, their actions spoke in the Assembly. whatever the invocations (made by the opposition party leader, it is accused not sure), the Assembly is no place for a wrestling match. The Constitution has provided certain rights and lawmakers and law followers need to follow and respect them, not break them. True that the local language must be learnt and spoken, but consider the fact that these immigrants are poor, will they concentrate on landing up a job for themselves so they bring about their family upbringing or will they learn the new language, especially if they are slow to grasp. The young outfit that I am mentioning is the result of a division between the old and the cubs of the old. Instead of focussing on issues that are just so virtual, I suggest they focus on the real issues. when the farmers are committing suicide in the belts of Vidarbha, where is this young aggressive outfit?

The next issue is that of the accusation of a sportsperson in the field of politics. Sure he entered into the pitch briefly, but he is entitled to his opinion. Not only is he a national and international icon, he is a citizen of India entitled to his fundamental right. The only thing he said was that he was from the central state and he is also an Indian. He also mentioned Mumbai is for all. What mistake did he do that the old tiger should accuse him of being termed as fallen down in the eyes of those who live here.I dont think so. Nothing but votebank politics...Recently, this old outfit has lost its foothold, the new leader termed soft. With the old tiger rising up again, his mind has surely started working against his enemy. The Congress has used the young outfit to stall the old very effectively. Both of these warring factions have failed to realise that they are just the pawns of the ruling alliance. I have lost respect for both the outfits, the younger for their actions and the older for its counter actions. The older outfit should have been more sensible.

Looking at the votebank now, rural areas do not tend to vote these parties. The election results are the witness. Only certain elements from the urban and semi-urban areas have elected these parties. Actually, it is a part of some of us citizens who are responsible for voting these outfits. These outfits should stop playing virtual politics and concentrate on real issues.

Lastly, I would want to say that, this blog is not intentionally meant for hurting these outfits, Though I agree partially with these issues, they should stop blowing out of proportion. This is a democracy. And they should respect the democratic space. And this disclaimer was necessary, since in India, we have failed to understand the value of democracy. We should call ourselves a multi party socialist country. And also a religious one. Due to these votebank politics and petty issues, I can say that India has failed, by virtue of its integrity. Petty politics have consumed us.Sad to say again, even though it is said India Shining, I may say it is India Is Failing(actually in the political front, which may also have an impact on our economy.)
