POLITICS OF POLITICS

I don’t find 02 feb , as a day, holding or having any specific significance in the history of our country after independence. However , after the SC’s decisive verdict(under justice AK GANGULY) on the 2G SCAM, cancelling all the 122 licenses of 2G SERVICES , allocated during the reign of A.RAJA (the then telecom minister) has definitely imprinted 02 feb(2012) in the history of modern India’s democracy. The apex court’s judgment(including the Vodafone’s tax evasion case), has once again proved that, our legal system is foolproof and not bound or controlled by the people in governance, which makes it  more sustainable, powerful and respectful in eyes of  the whole world…

But, Indian Politics is always ready to bifurcate the issues, in a sense, to obfuscate the entire country. Cancelling of licenses has clear implications that there was a considerate amount of wrongdoing in the handling of 2G allocation process. But, rather than, accepting its own failure or inability, in stymieing such illegal n unaccountable process, Congress came out strongly in its defence,inculpating BJP and it’s so framed “FIRST COME FIRST SERVE” policy for the whole debacle….i find this extremely unpalatable I m sure many  of uu ll too… 

Adding to this, the way all the political parties, contesting in the undergoing elections in the five states, are going, it appears even more obnoxious. To woo voters, all kinds N types of fundas are being applied. Political parties, as before, shall never jettison the morbid logic of vote-bank politics.  To factualise, consider some among many:

--  SP(in UP) n AKALI JANTA DAL(in PUNJAB),have promised to  provide high school and senior secondary school students i-pads n laptops(rather than  promising n making concerted efforts, to ameliorate computer education at school level broadly)….

-- Congress’s using superb tactics to woo muslim voters by offering them a lollypop of 9% subquota (though 4.5% is the decided one) in OBC quota, unmindful of even warnings issued (to law minister SALMAN KHURSHID) for Violating the CODE OF CONDUCT during elections…

--  BJP resorting to its ram-janmabhumi  trump-card even now, without contemplating whether it makes any sense now  or not…

--  BSP has thrown plethora of welfare schemes which seems quixotic n far-fetched.

This clearly highlights that our political system is still engraved with the vote-bank politics, with the politicians, appearing senseless of real issues n challenges, which r jeopardizing our country’s probity and stature, both at national and international level….

            As citizens of this country and to improve the efficacy of our democracy, it’s essential that we have quintessential knowledge of our political system, so as to properly understand the “POLITICS OF POLITICS” , in order to regulate our rights and duties in best possible way.
