"AAM AADMI WANTS ACTION"

There is anger & frustration about how politicians work. It is time they worked for betterment of the nation.

The 2012 year is the year of the elections. Be it the Assembly elections in five States or the President’s election. The youth in the country is getting impatient and angry. He is aware of his rights and wants the people he elects to work for the betterment of the nation. The common man over the years has become a little more selfish when it comes to what he wants from the Government. The generation today, doesn’t really have to work very hard for the comforts of life. We, on the other hand, had to struggle before we could afford any luxuries. The younger generation feels that the world owes them a lot more than what they are getting. They are aggressive and more clever.

The youth today questions every move of the politicians and how they are running the country. There are many politician’s sons who have now forayed into the political arena. The father retires and the son takes over. It’s like a family business. Rahul Gandhi started a good system in setting up a democratic system even in the students’ elections and in the Youth Congress. Yet it has angered many who are upset that the leader they had chosen was rejected by the High Command. If the person had to be rejected why hold the elections?

We have SP chief Mulayam Singh’s son, Akhilesh Yadav, Parkash Singh Badal’s son, Sukhbir, Prem Kumar Dhumal’s son, Anurag Thakur, Farooq Abdullah’s son, Omer Farooq and many others who are at the top because of their. The trend is common across all parties. It is strange why these parties talk about a dynastic rule. At least Rahul Gandhi has taken upon himself to start a democratic system.

And it doesn’t stop at just running for a political post. Some have taken it upon themselves to run sports bodies like cricket. We have Chief Ministers and Union Ministers who support each other in this association and have a soft corner for each other’s welfare cutting across political parties. It is one big happy family even if they are on different sides. The aam aadmi who want to enter into politics or a sports association has no idea on how to break this bonhomie and gets frustrated.

So the question is how does a common man who wants to enter into politics break the nexus considering he has no political inheritance, money or a Godfather to support him? The truth is that is is almost impossible to break this link however, patriotic and well meaning the person maybe.

There has been noise about passing the Women Reservation Bill. But no consensus has been built, just like it happened for the Lokpal Bill. For now, the Women’s Bill is in the cold storage. The antics by our parliamentarians in Parliament over the Lokpal Bill left the nation shocked. It is sad when democracy is hijacked by senior politicians. I am sure even the young politicians are unhappy with the way things have shaped up. One wonders why it happens? Is it the selfish interest that takes precedence once the other is taken? Well, it appears so.
