As of now, there are a few strong contenders vouching for that fortune:
- the Congress – NCP
- BJP – Shiv Sena
- And the new revelation MNS
As a mumbaikar, young voter and a futuristic citizen, I don’t know if anyone would be able to fulfill the needs of people or any party has the courage to stand up and deliver good infrastructure, resources, education & standard of living for the common man. Spiderman says, “With great power, comes greater responsibility”. Politics synonyms power more than responsibility in India.
The dictionary meaning of the word ‘politic’ says showing good judgment & thus politics is the art & science of governing & influencing people or a country in the right way. What good judgment has any party shown?
Congress-NCP - Well, the 26/11 attacks on heritage hotel like the Taj; open firing o
n innocent people at a crowded railway station is itself a showcase of their poor security for the people. Things like poor transport, inflation of daily commodities, farmer suicides is the height of tolerance with a party carved under the likes of Gandhiji & Nehru. BJP-Shiv Sena - Initially, the BJP showed which showed some promising future is just crumbling day by day. With the high command of the BJP undecided upon their main leader, Shiv Sena shows no signs of a great leader as well. The times of Balasaheb Thackeray, AB
Vajpayee, Pramod Mahajan, Manohar Joshi etc. have gone. It’s time for Uddhav Thackeray, now is it really time? Well….???A leader who is famous amongst the media and the minds of the people for not being able to imply that he has the potential of functioning an organization as influential as the Sena, don’t know how much the vote banks would help him?The Sena had someone influential with them who parted ways to form his own league – Raj Thackeray with his MNS. A party with its vision bound by just Maharashtra was some hope for the striving human resource of the state. But even these high expectati
ons are crumbling as miniscule things are made to be national issues. So what if someone is a north Indian and selling pani puris or driving taxis, you can’t ridicule them. So what if some film-maker used Bombay instead of Mumbai in his film. The MNS has no right to decide if it hurt mine or anyone’s sentiments. So what if the biggest artist family in the country – the Bachchans wish to speak in Hindi, you have no right to tear their posters and make them apologize. Raj Thackeray and his men are talent, skill, leadership gone the wrong way.
As a Maharashtrian, I’m confused about whom to vote and upon a larger view whom should the public bring in to power? Some politician who had 10Crores in 2005 now has 20-30Crores with him. I never knew politics as a business had such a turnover. For god’s sake, we want someone to take care of our farmers, someone who cares that the street lights in my lane has not been working since the past three months. Please lighten the lamp, enlighten our lives. Don’t Rule, Govern.
A request from a disheartened, grieving public of the most promising province of the world – we want you. We need your management to help us be happy for the coming 5 years at least. We all are well-versed with your tricks & techniques of being good in politics; just add an emotional quotient of goodwill in it for the people of Maharashtra. I believe, the person standing next to me in the bus for a seat believes, the illegal hawker on the road believes that Maharashtra is a land of opportunities. The opportunities are craving fulfillment just short of a good government.
To the next government who comes in power – We trust in you & have voted for you this time, let’s make this work together. I want myself to say loudly,
And this time not because am born here but with something to show off as well.
Jai Hind, Jai Maharashtra!
May the true hearted deserving win!
