Is India Going To The Dogs? (Part 1)

Our country is facing a number of problems today and most of them are a result of poor decision-making of the leadership of the nation. The following is an attempt to make you think about whether we are really going downhill or not.

A shrewd, corrupt, coward, inefficient Government is, probably, the root cause of all the problems. Just take the example of our Prime Minister who, probably, believes in inaction. Though he is the head of the Government he lacks the courage and conviction required to perform his duties. The general perception is the PM is an honest person. Well, I do not know nor do you. But even if he is it is of no use since his subordinates (ministers) are not. After every few months some or the other minister is being accused of corruption charges. Apart from corruption, this Government also prides itself in inefficiency in carrying out some of the basic duties. A prime example of this is rotting of surplus grains due to lack of warehouses coupled with poor management. The only person responsible for the mess is the Agriculture Minister, Mr. Sharad Chandra Pawar whose ultimate goal in life, I feel, is to amass as much wealth as he could. It is said that he has so much wealth that he himself is not aware of the exact figure. He is currently the President of the International Cricket Council (ICC) and has multiple business interests. And we have this man as the head of the ministry which is responsible for ensuring that the country doesn’t go to bed hungry. In short, the UPA is filled with corrupt and coward people.

On the other hand, the BJP, which, presently, doesn’t have anything better to do than opposing every move of the UPA, had that confidence required to take bold decisions. It was proved during their regime in the late 90s and early 2000s. Though they took controversial decisions at times the sense that one could get was like “Well, at least, they are taking the bold steps needed to tackle the problem at hand rather than just talking about doing and not really doing.” But a lot has changed over the last few years and the BJP is not what it used to be. It is aimless and hollow. The next Lok Sabha election is three years away and if the BJP doesn’t do anything substantial to improve its image we may again have to tolerate the UPA and its ways.

(Because you guys do not like to read long posts I have divided it into two. Part Two will discuss about one of the topics which is close to the youths' hearts. Coming up very soon)

I still feel that only congress can run india due to its presence in almost every state of India. BJP on the other hand is not united and aimless. Sushma dont like uma and modi dont like adwani.. How can they run a government?
