Our Voters Need A Little Education
Dear Voters,
It is just a reminder. Reminder that you are still the
pillars around which our democracy revolves. It is you who decide how our
democracy should function and who should lead us tomorrow. Or for that matter
in future as well. It is you who can make or break things for all the political
aspirants if they irate in their work. You can fix best of the goons to mend
their ways and fall inline by the power of your votes. You can make the
buffoons realize the responsibility that is attached with the chair they run
for in every five years. You can force the rascals who come begging for votes
during elections and show middle finger to your aspirations later that, what’s
goes around comes around soon. Last but not the least; you will force clowns to
wet their pants, dhotis or whatever by thinking of the reparations before they
utter nonsense like ‘Elected and Electable’.
Let me assure you, there was no intent of joke or fun in
whatever I mentioned in the above paragraph. It really is possible provided you
all realize the massive power that our constitution has given to you. Yes the
power of vote which will spark the chill down the spine of all those spineless
who call themselves the leader. But for all these nice things to happen, you must
stand united. United as per our ambition and goal and what we want in the form
of governance, policies and processes.
Coming back to the reality; I am afraid it hasn’t happened
in our sixty odd years of democracy and I am sure it won’t happen anytime time
soon. Because you guys are useless and don’t value yourself or your existence
to begin with. Before one can expect to garner weightage from the world around,
he has to weigh himself high. It is proven fact that people will seldom value
you unless you start valuing yourself. Come to think of it; each of you has
his/her priorities, agendas, problems, concerns, personal preferences, which
only lead to chaos and confusion on what we want and aspire as a nation. This
is precisely what our political class take leverage of. Since the voters who
would decide the fate of the ruffians are a divided lot in many things, it is
just a mild provocation that ceases the opportunity for change and collective
decision making. Be it caste, religion, economical status and hell even sexual
preferences; you are a divided lot. Anyone can pick any of these and shed some
crocodile tears and there would certainly be a section that would see a messiah
in the joker and readily agree to eat from his hand. Conveniently, the larger
interest is pushed back and like a hoard of sheep, people start voting the thug
enemas. No brain employed; no assertions made before you ink your finger since
you see your own personal interest is getting addressed; even if it is grossly
wrong.
Think of a certain Lalu Yadav. This question goes to even
those who for generations never know if there is anything other than this clown
when one talks about politics. Has he done anything, absolutely anything to
even be an elected legislative; let alone the chief minister of the state? Other
than cheap gimmickry, rampant loot of state resources, Mafiosi, delivering
splintered or at times even nonexistent governance; is there anything credible
worthy? No? You failed to come up with even one? Never mind and don’t stress
your brain too much as you won’t find because he hasn’t done any. Then how
could he rule Bihar for such a long time? Even his wife who probably till today
can’t figure out the difference between governance and milking a buffalo was also the CM of the state. Rabri
Devi as the CM? Really? I can’t even think of a bigger blunder that has
happened to our nation. Lalu and his wife could rule because he hit the spot
where he can fool a lot of people. Yes, he played the caste card like no other
politician did. Though he is a complete failure as a leader, CM and most
important as a human being, he still could win because he pretended to satisfy
your personal interest. Nevertheless, if he actually done anything for the
Dalits or not is debatable, there could still be a handful who would go to the
polling booth next time and cast their vote for this cunning fox. So
precariously dumb you guys are.
Even the Mulayams and Mayawatis of the world are no
different. In fact exact clones of Lalu I would say. Lots of jingoism and
crocodile tears; Lots of promise of goodies for the Dalits. But once in power what actually they
end up doing? Build statues and memorials for themselves and their party men or
let loose their goons to do highway robbery right under the nose of the
authorities. Isn’t the chief engineer was a Dalit who got killed by Mayawati’s
men since he refused to shed away with his hard earned money in the name of
contribution for Behenji’s birthday celebrations? Why didn’t I see you guys
stand up then and shout; Behenji – my ass and showed the moronic lady the
power of democracy? Why I still see idiots who believe Mayawati to be the next
best thing that happened to the Dalits after Baba Saheb Ambedkar? That said I
still give it to you since you throw this pathetic woman out of power but whom
you chose instead? Mulayam Singh Yadav? If that selection is more of compulsion
than choice, I would rather have president rule in the state than having
outright goons roaming around the streets of Lucknow. Let me assure you; had
you voted for a donkey, you still could have done justice to your voting rights
than voting for a man as clueless and visionless as Mulayam Singh Yadav.
Democracy doesn’t corroborate having Taxis for hire to be elected and get into
our democratic framework to make all our institutions a place for political Dalali.
But he did because you all failed miserably as voters.
Get out of state boundaries and look at the center. Be
honest and raise your hands if the Congress party has fulfilled your
aspirations. The idea with which you people have voted for the party; are you
been repaid appropriately. For the Muslim voters, before you could raise your
hands without out giving it a thought, much like the way you vote for Congress;
take a pause. Forget everything; has the party even addressed the core Muslim concerns?
When it comes to shouting atop a cliff with the loudest pitch and vouching for
secularism no one can match the Congress party but when it comes to implementing
them, they would be the lot who would first run away from the scene. Since the
period of Nehru they have only fooled the Muslim community by pretending to be
their emancipator. Have they done anything? Even a tenth of what all they
promise during elections? Rahul Gandhi can wear the skull cap as many times as
you please but never expect him to go beyond that. No one in the party ever
would. Acting for your benefits would elevate a large chunk from their current
state and that would be negative for the party which has strived out of
poverty, ignorance, illiteracy and sycophancy of the voters. Do you believe
they want closer to Gujarat riots? You guys ought to be fool to believe so. Gujarat
is a perpetual weapon for the party to do a Rudali act for the minorities as
and when needed and certainly they don’t want to let go this easy avenue by
arriving at a closer.
But surprising enough, every platform, every public
gathering, every political debate; the stooges of Congress shout aloud for the
Gujarat victims but none from the community has yet asked them of the precise
things they have done to deliver justice. Ask them once, if you are not that
fearful of the truth and you will get to know that they are in fact worse than
the parties they accuse of sabotaging your fundamental rights. But yet again,
there are a lot within the community who think Rahul Gandhi is the only answer
for bloody everything that the community is facing for a challenge. I have no
urge to educate fools, more so when one tends to get fooled by gimmicks,
farces. Ask the biggies of Congress to come up with a list of things that the
party has done for Muslims since its inception and don’t be surprised if the
list doesn’t cross even quarter of an A-4 size page. But still they take your
votes for guarantee in exchange of their cheap stunts because you guys are fool
who would kick aside development, governance, opportunities against some stupid
promise around your religion. Who to blame here? The hawks of our political
class or yourselves?
Let me not get started on inflation, job scarcity, economy
going south and all that bad that the voters certainly didn’t aspired when then
clicked the EVM button next to the hand symbol. Let me not get started on the
promise made by our PM a couple of years back that inflation would be
controlled within 100 days. Let me not get started on the Rs 20/- mockery that
our planning commission played on the face of poor or the latest Rs 600/-
nonsense of Shiela Dixit. Let me not get started on the pathetic law and order
situation in Delhi or elsewhere, which only is waiting for the latest brutal
rape victim to survive and authenticate. Let me not get started on the scams
that have been accomplished in last three years alone. Let me not get started
on the attempt of the government to muzzle every sane voice which opposes their
pathetic performance in every sphere.
Is
this what for which you all voted? Not me at least. Where is the accountability
that is attached with every elected representative? I don’t see any since you
have stopped asking tough questions. You have stopped asking because you either
are prioritizing your own interest, far above than that of the nation or
readily believe these pitiful creatures to walk their talk. Time
has come to teach the morons a lesson in the language they understand and that
is what you call votes. Can all of you for once agree to see the blatant lies beneath every
gimmick and refuse to be fooled again or worst taken for a ride for next five
years? Hope post 2014 you all going to change this wretched trend. Will you? Regards

i do agree with your writing but don't you think that our political class is the same irrespective of the party they belong to? and to bring about the change we need to change a lot of things in our constitution starting with the elections itself. we should make sure that people who contest should follow certain rules and meet the criteria but who will change it?
ReplyDeleteTrue,
ReplyDeleteMy post only talks about the clowns not the party they belong. No doubt party ideologies play a vital role in shaping up a leader but still it is boud to the attitude of an individual Sent from my BlackBerry®
Dear Being Cynical,
ReplyDeleteDemocracy is not meant for uneducated people who cant comprehend or understand problems faced by society and select the correct solution. In addition, Indians are emotional fools and were united ONLY by the british.
Fully agree. But even educated people throw themselves into the mud of cast and deteriorate democracy. Sadly, Justice Katju was absolutely right when he said "90% Indians are fools."
