The year 2020 is going to be quite hectic for India.The ruling party is organizing rallies for trumpeting achievements to woo voters of impending assemblies’ elections. Mega rally at Ramlila ground Delhi on Dec 22 last year was totally unwarranted in the midst of NRC- CAA related violence .The capital was under siege. Report on security threat to PM seemed fabricated . How was he having a free run violating security protocol.
No one is impressed by the political drama. Massive logistic support by deploying govt machinaries. Election Commission and C&AG are clueless about misuse of public funds . Huge information gag has developed as political parties have been kept outside the purview of RTI Act.All political parties are unanimous on the exemption.
The ministerial Executive is marginalized, silenced by providing undeserved privileges. All sign on dotted lines and keep their mouths shut.
Bureaucracy is growing increasingly pliant,malleable, more focussed on prized postings rather than addressing public grievances. Crisis of credibility afflicts the Media. Providing Good governance remains a pipe dream. Services delivery and accountability mechanisms have failed. Corruption growing exponentially in local bodies and subordinate judiciary. Nothing moves without illegal gratification.The local municipal bodies have grown totally inaccessible and unresponsive.MHA should stop pretending about its ignorance.
Total chaos and confusion. CM, West Bengal demands UN- monitored referendum on CAA and NRC. All opposition-ruled States towing the same line.
Excessive digital visibility of PM Modi breeds contempt. We need vigorous appraisal of self-performance. Man ki baat, ( a monologue ) is getting boring, merely badgering the citizens. We need more dialogue, more consultation with public to avoid getting out-of-touch . BJP is sending its “ MLAs and MPs” for fostering public awareness on CAA and NRC.They should worry more about nursing their constituencies and solve people’s problems.PM should not consider himself infallible.
Time for ‘ Chintan and Manthan ‘ for the ruling political dispensation to analyse how the situation has grown so antagonistic over the years? This is the wake-up call for the ruling coalition at the centre. Arrogance of the political class is bad; its over-confidence is a curse.
