Trounce makes them humble!

Ministers of UPA are posing as humble and gentleman

by Arun Srivastav

Yesterday in Parliament V Naryansamy MOS in Prime Minister Office and DOPT turned down the request of byte to a junior TV reporter very humbly and politely. Seeing the humbleness of Samy TV reporter asked one of senior journalist standing near by, sir does the defeat makes minister humble? Samy is very rude and never speaks with politeness but after just concluded assembly elections’ results the tone of MOS has changed all of sudden; she explained the reasons behind her question.

This story of arrogance is true not only for one minister but almost all the ministers and party functionaries of Congress and UPA. Many ministers of UPA government barbed against BJP and especially against its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi in the recent past. Samy along with seniorcabinate ministers Kapil Sibble, Gulam Nabi Azad, Salman Khurshid, Jairam Ramesh, minister of state minister (independent charge) Manish Tiwari and party general secretaries Digvijay singh viciously attacked Modi to settle scores with BJP says a senior colleague of mine. He was referring the silence and void which prevails after the results in which the Congress has routed in four states and retained Mizoram as a consolidation. Indeed scathing and wounding attacks on opponents is one of the prime rule in game of war and love but only against the opponents, not against the common people. Behavior with members of the public and voters should be respectable. Incident given above is just an example of behavior of arrogance and brazenness of almost all Congress leaders barring few.

The changes in behavior are just superficial. How could they change their behavior in just few nights? They can not, because every political beast is a millionaire. A defeat in election will only be for one time or at the worst for five years says my colleague while explaining the changes in behavior as a poser and not a permanent one. The public memory is very short. They will forgive and forget their every misdeed, corruption and plunder of coffer and give support to make them winner again next time. The fact of the matter is that Indian politicians are millionaire or billionaire, irrespective of his party, whether he belongs to the Congress, BJP, SP and BSP or regional outfits. At the same time there are some honest leaders also but their number is countable on fingers, I must admit candidly.

Shrewd politicians never miss a chance to reconcile their place by employing different type of tactics and gambles. Posing humble and gentle are few of their tools to fool common people to whom they always treat as foolish. Ironically last man of the street who runs his family by vending some food item on the streets also understand the truth of politicians. Surprisingly how these leaders are not sensing the mood of people is not understandable. Lacs of people who were on street behind Anna movement in the past not only in Delhi but across India was manifestation of frustration owing to corrupt practices which they faces every day outside home. The sooner politicians realize this fact the better otherwise things are changing very fast in political arena.
