I Do Not Know Who To All(o)y With : DMK and Congress Bleed

     If there is something in this world that is devoid of principles, then it is coalition politics in India. The parties are not ready to go by principles and to support the good "RAMA RAJYA". If not for the good of the people, should they not have some self respect and adherence to their own principles?

     For the congress, the AIADMK worked as the most suitable partner in Tamilnadu when it was headed by Mrs. Indira Gandhi for the former and Mr. M. G. Ramachandran for the latter. It worked well even with the leadership changed to Mr. Rajiv Gandhi and Ms. J. Jayalalithaa respectively. Suddenly when it was Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, the present empress of the great nation, India, there was a tussle and the ally broke up. Neither of the two wants to discuss about the reasons behind the same. Then Ms. J. J took seriously to the side of BJP and the Congress fixed itself to the only alternative in the state, the DMK, led by Mr. M. Karunanidhi and his family.

         Everything was so good and satisfying after joining hands with DMK for the congress in Tamilnadu. With the then chief minister Ms. J. Jayalalithaa having tortured the government officials, lost all her Lok Sabha seats to the DMK. Not one sir, not even a single seat was won in her name or her party's name. The Congress Matriarch was so happy to have gotten away from the AIADM Matriarch. 2004 Lok Sabha elections they were and the congress was not a significant majority in the UPA I government. So Sonia and the hence the congress had to dance to the tunes of Karuna. With the DMK back to power, that too forming a MINORITY government with other parties supporting it from the outside (not participating in the government), the next Lok Sabha elections were scheduled. As it was, the people did not vote the DMK to power at the state full confidence and so did the power of DMK diminished in the UPA II, as Congress itself earned a significant majority of the coalition and even now, Karuna wanted the UPA to dance to his (him and his family included) tunes.

But now, Sonia wanted to show her true power. She let the DMK do all the mischief it wanted and when she saw that the AIADMK would come to power, she wanted to change tracks. She wanted to patch up with JJ. She made the government expose and investigate the WORLD FAMOUS 2G SPECTRUM SCAM and staged DMK, as a single party, to have carried out the entire scam while Congress was stain free. She tried breaking the bond, even by arresting the DMK chief's third wife's only daughter POET and MP Kanimozhi and delayed her bail. Still, no use. Jayalalithaa remained and remains till date, keen to not form any bonds with congress, at least until Sonia Gandhi is its dictator. The Tamilnadu state assembly was over and Jayalalithaa replaced Karuna as the shepherd of Tamilnadu and the state's monarch.

Still Sonia was confident to make ties with Jaya as she was sure that if she had to make congress continue with DMK which has recently been earning a bad name from all over the country and from the people of Tamilnadu itself, then she will have to renounce her title of being the empress of India.

As far as all parties are concerned, being in power is the only motto, for if they are not, their scams in their reign would be exposed and if they come back, they could scale up all the scams and increase the rate at which the tax payer's money can be looted. By traveling once by economy class, nothing has changed in the principle Mrs. Foreign Empress.

Now the route is clear for the Ms. JJ led AIADMK government at the state for another three years at least and it can be in POWER (although there is no power in the state), that too with a thumping single party majority and the party is clear about not having congress as its ally. The friendship between the Gujarat CM Mr. Narendra Modi and Ms. JJ, between the Bihar CM Mr. Niteesh Kumar and Ms. JJ, all indicates clarity, while the Congress and the DMK, who both want to be out of the bond have no other choice but to stay along.

DMK hates the communal BJP and Congress, although it has tried its best, could not even divert a single ray of attention from the AIADMK. STUCK without any choice!

As a token of Love and respect the Congress had shown Karuna and his beloved daughter in the recent past under the CBI investigation, Karuna kept the centre guessing about his support to the government to continue and his support for the FDI in retail. With so many congress leaders (not sonia) being sent as messengers, even the PRIME MINISTER (King) was sent by the EMPRESS as a MESSENGER but nothing happened. Finally, the Shameless DMK chief has agreed to support the motion. This is the problem with aged people. They cannot remember anything properly. There are chances that Karuna (unable to do his daily activities without another person's help) might even say DOWN DOWN DMK and I LOVE YOUR JAYALALITHAA MADAM and fall at her feet due to the effects of age on his mind and brain. This is a very bad move to be taken as the chief of a DRAVIDIAN party.

Could the Deal be FDI for Safety of Kanimozhi? Who cares about the Aam Aadmi? In tamil, one calls an Idiot by the name "Maangaa" meaning Aam and I think that this name would perfectly fit us if we continue to let these idiots ru(i)n the nation.

Just because they are out of options and stuck together, GOD knows what would happen. No one cares about the people even as much as the people care about these stupid Political parties!!!

JAI HIND!

Politics a Profession - Nice Idea ?!?!

We all know about the most revered President of India of all times, Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam and his repeated insist on the power of the Youth. We are also aware of the fact that India is a nation with the majority of the Youth in the world and could do wonders within a very short time. Are these just statements that we hear to make ourselves feel good or do they really have any meaning? What do they mean by the youth? Are those children of very old political leaders called youth of the nation although they are biologically grandfathers and grandmothers? Are those grey haired men and women who are stuck with the youth wing for years together, struggling to get their names on billboards at least through the youth wing if not a chance provided by the core political party, the youth of the Nation? Well, a man of 40 with a family and children of his own cannot be the youth representative of the nation, for his thoughts would move into how to make his child and his family rich and powerful. Neither can a man of 40 who has foreign girlfriends but has a celibacy celebrity status should be that. But you turn the pages of Indian media; you would find only these men and women being portrayed as the YOUTH ICONS of the Nation.

We all learn at school that Democracy, from the words of Lincoln, the form of government FOR the people, OF the people and BY the people. But I sincerely feel that Democracy is FAR OFF from the people and is being used to BUY the people as commodities and slaves. Have we misunderstood the crux of democracy? Are those M.L.A s and M.Ps our representatives or our monarchs? Have we forgotten that the power is truly ours? Today, a member of the crowd that sends these representatives to the house gets arrested because he criticises the government or the offspring of a very influential politician in the government, on a social networking site. When there is no right to freedom of expression, can we call this a real democracy? If those people who send the representatives to the house cannot voice their opposition against the representatives, this is not even benevolent dictatorship and definitely not democracy at all, but a carefully planned slavery! If there is one dictator and the rest of the world obeys, then we can call anything that spirals down in the system to be the fault of one person. But today, there are so many dictators (rather gundas) and a group of slaves who elect their own masters. These representatives are seen on posters and hoardings and rarely amidst the public only when there is an election. Where do they go rest of the time when they are not easily reachable in their offices and when they do not even go and sit in the proceedings of the house to which they were elected to? Even if some do, they do not open their mouths except for yawning or gossiping or having something to eat. How many of our representatives have spoken in the houses at least once? Are CIVICS and POLITICAL SCIENCES just additional burden as non-scoring subjects to the students of the country? What do they really learn from them? For about one hundred marks in the exam, twenty goes for internal evaluation, majority goes for learning History and Geography and the student goes about thinking why should I learn a whole series of lessons when only a few questions would come from them? After all, my parents and the society are worried about the numbers that I score from the exams and not what I really know or not? 

The Idea of an “Opposition Party” is yet another headache in this country, although created for good reasons. When a particular party comes out of the government and becomes the opposition, only then that party would project itself as the best asset that the people had lost by casting votes to the other party. Even then, the focus of the opposition parties in the nation seems to be at pinpointing the so called RULING parties and not centred at the development. The RULING party concentrates on attacking the opposition and the vice versa, which then boils down to one thing and that is entertainment under the blanket of running the nation. Instead of opposing the wrong deeds of the policy making party, these opposition parties seem to resort to taking down on whatever policies that the party in power comes up with. 

Whose mistake is this mess anyway? If we still call this a DEMOCRATIC setup, then it is our very own dear mistake. Every problem that we face as a nation ultimately has its roots on the governing body and on the fact that we have not chosen the right people. There are names of leaders both living and dead that we could quote and call to be visionaries. But it is not just in the hands of the leader, but vests within the entire hierarchy. As we move down the hierarchy, the spirit of the leaders seems to vanish and the elements of selfishness and materialism take an upper hand, pushing the people to clean the shoes of those representatives who are supposed to work FOR the people. Are we independent? There are some leaders who are well known to have conspired against the founder and taken their place as party presidents, only to establish a multilateral lineage of their family into politics, power and money. 

A few questions that I have been asking myself since I was 14 include: Why only a few people in politics? What happens to the new ones who come into the picture? Is it someone’s birth right to be the RULER because he or she has the genes of the RULERS? Is the government really made of representative or do we have no choice but to vote for those known devils that tend to RULE us and make themselves rich? Almost all political leaders today have come from a humble background or even have had nothing to eat but scraps but seem to have a lot of money in both black and white and yet are not being punished for the same; is politics the best business today where everything is legal? Do the law and its enforcers even know to spell equality? Are Engineering and Medicine the only career options for the real youth of the Nation? Why do we fear change and struggle to trust the known devils to magically transform into selfless angels? Why is the FORM ‘O’ not an option in the secret ballot? 

The attitude of the people towards politics and the politicians must change. Instead of thinking of politics to be something to shun away from and reserving the most powerful domain of the society for select families to monopolise and exploit, should not we actively engage? Who is the real youth? Is it a group of someone who writes GRE, IELTS, TOEFL etc, flee elsewhere to make personal life comfortable while someone votes in his or her name in the national polls? Should we only fill the coffers of other governments? Should we only accuse the present governance and not actively participate in making a change? Should we fear changes? My dear brothers and sisters please do think. We might travel worldwide in quest of knowledge. But once we have enough, shouldn’t we invest it in our land and make the best use of it? Are we going to take all the money with us when our physical selves depart? Should not we actively engage in politics and bring in a change? Shouldn’t we change the scenario from “Being impossible to get a voter ID on time” to “Being able to drive the government to new heights?” I wonder…
