Destiny of People and Power of Silance

Yesterday, all the drum beating of the political candidates came to a halt as the Election Day is now less then 24 hours away in Madhya Pradesh in one phase straight. 

No exit poll surveys this time.

 No tall claims by any political party for favorable good winds this time.

 No one is clearly stating victory or defeat.

 The reason is simple. 

Voters, who matter the most in a constitutional process, are silent. They are not uttering a word. This silence is deafening.

 Voices of the voters or the people who choose the government were very vocal in the last elections. It was a storm which blew away the Dig Vijay Singh led Congress government. But this time the subtlety of people is a matter of jokes among a few guys I met with. 

One friend told me that it is a matter of national laughter that how the most corrupt state government ever led by Dig Vijay, when came into opposition, is calling the BJP a bluff and starting a debate on the issues of corruption only since last year.

 No one in the state has forgotten the horrid times he gave to the common man. Be one from the MSEB, MSRTC, Semi-Government Organizations and even students.

 

Congress has such weak memory. OR better, Rahul has no idea what he is promoting here! This makes me wonder that if I ever get to meet him, what he will say after hearing my remarks. He is dude without a doubt.

 Now, let’s talk about the people who are not saying anything.

The reasons are many and the biggest as follows:

 1. The Global Recession period has hit hard to everyone. People all around want stability. Trying to figure out what exactly is happening around. 

2. The fear of change has seeped in each individual. As the pink slip mayhem continues, people in government jobs fear forced VRS and alteration in temporary jobs offered by the government in the rural areas.

 3. People are now thinking over the main issue raised by the Congress - Corruption. Everyone is unable to figure out how it hit them. It is unlike the last time when it was the motto of the government to suck every drop of blood of the people.

 4. Fear! What if they said something for one party and the other came to power as no one is certain.

 BUT the common man will speak.

 He will speak loud enough to be echoed till Delhi.

 The day is tomorrow.

 Go Vote.

 It's Karma.

 It's Destiny.

A tale of greed and hungry child...

The prime job for any government is betterment of life for all the nationals. Be it of countrymen or the noble royalties.

 In India the major challenge for governments is to get the tribes to education. If this happens, some bigger challenges such as the child labor will be solved automatically. Needless to say that, all the big think-tanks know about it and are working on it with many means. 

Let's see the depth to it. Any child, who goes to work is mainly does so for the basic means as earning bread for the day. 

Bang on the spot: Government offered food. The mid-day meal scheme in India is actually a success. Thought the Wheat, Dalia and Rice promised for them from the government is already sold to the neighboring state which declines any support from the northern states. So what an ironically sweet way of revenge from the both sides, they eat all the food intended from the mother state, and here we smile for our cleverness of how we sold them the wheat for Rs. 6/- per KG which was intended for Rs. 1.50/- per KG for poor and will be sold to the common man in that state for Rs. 12/- Per KG.

 Ha Ha Ha! 

No food at school on some days! It’s okay as they at least get food 18-20 days a month, one time.

 Government is so great. They do so many things for us. Like see... They even introduced this Employment Guarantee Scheme.

 All we have to do is to go to the local contractor, who has got the contract for Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojna after bribing who's who at the capital, and make rode to connect our village to the main road.

 This guy will give job to ten people; the registers will note attendance of 20 people. Approval will be given by the Sarpanch of the village, and the contractor will get the money in 7 days. The money will then be distributed. The Contractor will have his share of 7 workers; Sarpanch will get his share in next 7 days for 3 workers, after keeping the money for 10 days in the bank account for the interest, the contractor then give the money to the workers.

 So, in principal, the work which is done on day one will be redeemed to the worker after almost 20 days or even more.

 To make ends meet during this period, the worker will go to Sarpanch or the Contractor who will give them money as loan with 3-5% interest.

 They are the nice guys. They take care of the people who work under them.

 And yeah, government is doing its part.

 You know, the country is so big that it is so hard for the government to keep a check on every Sarpanch or Contractor.

 And roads?... If we make them permanent, they won't need any repairs every six months, and the people won't get more work. 

See...

Vote from a common man!

Elections time again. 

I am going to cast my vote to a party I would consider lesser corrupt than the other. 

Nobody is clean here... isn't it? 

So I thought why not make an assessment paper on Indian Politics from the views of a common man. 

Okay, so state government of Madhya Pradesh is ruled by BJP (Bhartiya Janata Party) for last five years. They won in the last elections because the Digvijay Sing led Congress-I government did the following thins: (Or why I voted for BJP in the last elections)

 1. The semi government institutions were told to look else where for findings and salaries. My Mother is a teacher in a semi government school; her colleagues are the people who got affected by this decision the most. Imagine a person with a monthly take home salary of Rs. 5500/- to 7500/- is suddenly changed to mere Rs. 1500/- to 2500/-. The whole economics of a small town with as many as 4 semi government institutions would have been after this decision from the government!

 We all, who religiously voted for congress in earlier elections giving Digvijay a 10 Year term at Bhopal, chose BJP.

2. When Chattisgarh came into existence, no division plan formed by Digvijay Singh. The power plants which generated electricity for the entire state were now in another state. Digvijay failed to convince his party member and Chattisgarh CM Jogi to give electricity on affordable rates. This led to a dark age when small towns and villages got electricity as much as 2-4 Hours a day. This was a disaster. Many MSEB workers got beaten up by angry mob of farmers and students.

Result: After Semi-government employee families, it was time for farmers, students and MSEB employees to vote against Congress.

3. Once there was MP State Road Travel Corporation. It was in big trouble with heavy loan. Again, CH got the share of buses and refused to take the loan burden percentage over it. In following months, the whole department came to a halt. A major government public transport corporation sank without a trace. SRTC was preceded by small crampy buses, which overload commuters like cattle and had no respect for them whatsoever. In MP 4 districts, Khergone, Dhar, Jhabua and Barwani have no rail network. The only way to travel is by road.

As the SRTC closed and employees were denied any compensation, they also voted against Congress.

If here we excuse the rest of the political issues such as corruption, roads, water and poverty, we had enough reasons to fight back.

Dear oh dear... did that bet worked?

Yeah... kind of!

People from Semi government organizations got airier.. part payment of their salary deducted by Diggi... got full salaried status back and will get the reaming amount if chosen for another term.

We have some more electricity time now as some dams have come up with electricity which was sold outside the state by Congress government.

No Buses YET... but will have a railway line soon inside.. I know it is a central government job but initiatives are important.

One can see the infrastructure boom in the city of Indore. Now we have four-lane roads, city transport buses, less polluting city vans, many flyovers and better facilities.

Here... My vote goes to BJP in hopes for another good innings to finish what they have started.

Of renaming Indore to Indur (in Marathi)

Ah... Started reading today's newspaper. Indore's Marathi's which are about 10% in population of the city, want that the name of the city must be changed to 'Indur' on the lines of Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata, Chennai and Bangaluru (Bombay, Poona, Calcutta, Madras and Banglore previously).  

What an idiotic suggestion.  

Indore is where I was born... Indore is where I live and Indore is what my identity. 

 Dear Marathi Manus of Indore,

 Please mind your own business. Do not cross the line. Do you know, when you people go to Maharashrta for looking for new opportunities, you are also considered as outsiders and bhaiya log. 

 I have met many such people who left Maharashtra after going there for job from Indore, even though they were Marathis...

 So better shut the fuck up and live in peace.
