POLITICS IN INDIA

THE POLITICAL PILGRIMAGE


THE RECENT TRENDS IN THE POLITICAL SCENARIO MAKE ME FEEL BAD, AND I WOULD LIKE TO EXDPRESS MY FEELINGS IN WORDS , WHICH MAY NOT BE PALATABLE FOR MANY, BUT FOR SOME.

POLITICALLY INFATUATED PERSON WILL ENTER THE POLITICS WITH A POLICY AND CONTINUES IN THAT FOR SOME TIME. AS HE/SHE MATURES HIMSELF/HERSELF IN THE PARTY POLITICS AND ITS TRADE SECRETS, HE/SHE WILL TAKE A TURN FORGETTING THE ORIGINAL LINE OF ACTION AND BEHAVES LIKE AN INTROVERT, SUCCUMBIING TO DIFFERENT FORCES. HE/SHE THEN JOINS OTHER “LINKS” IN SEARCH OF GREENER PASTURES!

THIS CATEGORY OF POLITICAL AGENTS IS A DANGEROUS SET OF PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE SINCERITY AND TENACITY OF PURPOSE IN THEIR PUBLIC LIFE. NOW A DAYS PARTY SPLITS IN ARITHMETIC PROPORTIONS AND WAITS FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN HANDS WITH ANOTHER. ALL DEPEND ON THE PERSONAL GAIN UNDER THE COVER OF SOME POLITICAL INFLUENCE. SUCH HAPPENNINGS ARE SEEN IN THE POLITICAL GROUPS WHICH ALWAYS SWING FROM ONE PARTY TO ANOTHER AND ALSO SWINDLE MONEY & POWER FOR PERSONAL GRATIFICATION.

MR. KARUNAKARAN THE VETERAN LEADER OF THE CONGRESS GROUP, DELINKED HIS POLITICAL ALLIANCE FROM HIS PARTY IN WHICH HE WAS VITUALLY “BORNE & BROUGHT UP”. THEN HIS SON ENTERED INTO THE GREENER PASTURES. SIMILAR FAEATURES WERE SEEN IN THE POLITICAL VEDANTHA OF LATE P.J.CHACKO & HIS SON P.C.THOMAS, WITH A DIFFERENT OUTLOOK. THE CHEMICAL EQUATION IN POLITICS, FOR BOTH THE CASES, IS THE SAME -REVERSIBLE OR IRREVERSIBLE- I DO NOT KNOW?

WE HAVE TO THINK VERY SERIOUSLY ON THIS TYPE OF POLITICAL GAME OF AFFILIATION /AFFINITY AND FIND OUT A SOLUTION TO CURB SUCH OCCURENCES. THE POLITICAL POLUTIONS SHOULD END AND WE SHOULD HAVE A STRICT COMPLIANCE OF RULES REGULATING THEIR PUBLIC SERVICE. THAT IS, NOT MORE THAN 2 YEARS BY A PERSON AS AN MLA OR MP.

UNLESS THIS RESCTRICTION IS IMPOSED, WE WILL RUN INTO DIFFICULTIES AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RECOVER OURSELVES, FROM THE DISASTEROUS END WAITING FOR THE MOTHER LAND
