My Inner Self

Earlier  in my post Unity in Diversity I vented out my feelings on breaking a state into pieces. Those who are following Andra Pradesh’s political scenario from past few weeks should be able to relate the current situation.

After seeing and being a part of the current situations in the state or should I say “Telangana”? I am worried about the future consequences; What will be the state’s state in the hands of these maniacs? I am not sure what they are going to get, putting thousands of people in trouble by the name of Bandh’s(Closure of businesses and all activities) and rasta/rail roko(blocking of roads and railways). All I know is that, it is a stupid gimmick to blackmail the Government to come down and agree to their demands. I am not sure if I would be able to see a government which will be strong and which holds on to its point and close such matters forever. Seriously, I wish and hope to see one…after all hope is the one which will take us forward.

What I have been witnessing from my childhood is when ever some group / union has to show some strong aversion on the State Government, first thing they do is to damage and burn the local transport buses which act as means of transport of lacks of people, causing inconvenience and trouble to common man. The reason, these are easily available on the roads and damaging those will increase the trouble caused to people exponentially putting pressure on Government. I guess the recent Bandh which was called upon by a local party there was destruction of private property to a huge extent causing a lot of trouble to people showing the lack of basic common sense.

Why do people not understand the disadvantages of smaller states? I know that there is a fair argument that smaller states means better manageability, but that case is when the politicians are considered to be “ideal”. On this note, I would like to know if there is anything such as “an ideal politician” and I want to see how many of them are there in the current agitation which is going on. How many of you politicians have earned everything you have now just with the salary you are getting? How many of you did all you can to improve the literacy, health and life style of common man in your constituencies? How many of you politicians stood by your statements in your election manifesto and fulfilled those after winning? How many of politicians visit your constituencies regularly to know its how about’s when elections are not round the corner? How many of you politicians give the projects/contracts by fair judgment and not to your related/known ones?

And all the above questions are not just only for politicians but also for us ‘people’ who vote for them and give them the position they have now. Let’s ask our self all the above questions and I am sure that we will have ‘none’ to name. I know that’s unfortunate but it been always ‘pick the best from the worst’ case for us and I guess we need to take the best judgment by going into the past and judging the best from the lot.

If you ask me, my personal opinion would be to stay as one and concentrate on the over all development. On the other hand, if at all it is inevitable for the state to break, I will be the first person to be happy ‘provided’ there is any such ‘ideal’ politician who is going to take the complete responsibility of the newly formed smaller state by not only promising but showing results in its development. And for all the people who want different state , my question is ‘do you find any such leader in the current political scenario?’. All I see is money hungry, power monger politicians who want to divide the state on its sentiment for their own benefit.

Anyways, we have to wait and watch what is going to happen. I am hoping for a best ending (for which there are thin chances) to this drama and there is peace and happiness to everyone.
