Karnataka Nataka

There is a say "Insaan Jab Andha ho jata hai. tau usko kuch nahi dikhai deta".. "Aur jab aakhe kulti hai tab tak bahut der hochi ki hoti hai"... The "Kartnataka fiasco" is classical example of a man when goes blind he or she does not see anything. The nataka which has been going on from past few weeks in the state govt., clearly shows how the Indian Political System has disintegrated into pieces. The first BJP govt. in South India, a pride moment for the party. The pride has been taken away in matter of few weeks, not only due to intense infighting within the party, but, also due to hawks inside the party and outside the party waiting to grab the opportunity to "TOPPLE" the Govt. The major blame does goto the CM of the state, for not been able to stem the rebellion and the conspiracy been hatched in last two months. It was too late to stem the rebellion, as the those who were waiting for this opportunity to bring down the Govt had frisked way the MLAS, openly and blatantly. When the party knew of past incidents of toppled game by it's rivals, it should have done it's homework better. Over confidence of the CM did him in and today whatever imagine he had built has taken a serious beating.

Mind you, here I am certainly blaming the CM, but fact of the matter is that the other parties are as much responsible for the state of affairs in the state. To see a former PM's SON virtually taking the MLA to all parts of the country, is a disgrace and slap on the Nation. And we all just saw this drama unfold. This also shows that loyalty of the (MLAS) not only towards party, Democracy but also towards the people of the State and the country is non existent. Here I am not targeting one party. This goes for each and every party. No respect for the verdict given by people to rule for 5 years. It is absurd to see parties going to any extent to grab power, be it any party in any state. Respect for "DEMOCRACY" is something none have learnt so far. We call ourselves a democratic nation. I am sorry I do not agree with this at all. We are nation where only "Jungle Raj" which rules us be it at the Centre or State. No one in this political system is unbiased towards anyone. Be it CM, Speaker, Governor or for that matter anyone who is ruling the nation. All are working towards how to topple each other. But they forget about the comman man who suffers the most in such crisis.

We all know who started the topple game, but the been adopted by others parties too. The Karnataka drama clearly shows that these people (all parties) can goto any extent to make a "Mockery of Democracy" & also make a fool of the citizens. Their is seriously something wrong with entire society where we all want to bring each other down in eyes of others. The political system is one such example. It is a sorry state of affairs, where the nation has more then 70% of people under poverty line and these people are making a merry for personal sake.

It was once said by Winston Churchill about our political class.

"Power will go to the hands of rascals, rogues and freebooters. All Indian leaders will be of low calibre and men of straw. They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts. They will fight amongst themselves for power and India will be lost in political squabbles.

This is a Winston Churchill quote, but there is a dispute whether he said that.

India is a geographical term. It is no more a united nation than the Equator".

This is coming out to be so true in today's contexts. I as a citizen feels ashamed and makes my head down in shame to see the country been taken for royal ride. Which govt. comes in the state of Karnataka, does not matter. The damage has been done to the image and more such incidents more the state and the country fall into deep sea.

We need another strong person "Mahatama" to save us from these people. The Mahatama would have been most disturbed man if he was alive. We have very week system and anyone can break the system when required. I can at the end only hope that better sense prevails amongst the few wise men and women in each party to come together and go beyond the egos and make sure that they are able to stop such blatant violation of law which these few people break.
