Indian Politics - A Gridlock To Growth !!

Mamta Di wake up it's 2012 not 1912 !!!

If anybody who has kept a track on recent acts of Mamta Di (Mamta Banerjee) against UPA government will not differ to the title of this blog today. I am not talking about just one politician or any specific act of them , I am talking about whole Indian political system which acts as a biggest hindrance in Indian growth story. Be it Mamta Banerjee over FDI and Diesel Price hike or be it BJP which wasted the monsoon session of recently called off parliament , it is not very difficult for us to analyse that these politicians are among one of the reasons why today we all hate our political system. 

In recent bold steps by UPA to bring in many of the reforms starting from FDI in retail , then moving on too pension funds and insurance were among one of the most critical and most important moves made by any government in last couple of decade or so. These moves will be counted among few steps taken by any party for betterment of country and its economical growth. I appreciate that first time in last 8 years of congress rule , congress wasn't fearing any of the allies and what they did was not to save there government but to enhance countries condition in International market.

What I don't like about these politicians is that they use the pain of a common man for there own benefits like recently when prices of diesel and LPG were increased instead of telling common man what is the reason behind these moves they played with the sentiments and pain through which a common man was going through and as it is truly said in Hindi "dushman ka dushman , mera dost"  (an enemy of my enemy is my friend), these politicians portrayed themselves as our best friend(Though it is nothing but just an opportunity to enhance the vote bank). Most of us don't even know that for same LPG cylinder a Pakistani friend pays close to Rs.900 , Nepali friend pays Rs.875 , family in Srilanka pays Rs. 980 and many more. How long can government keep on providing subsidies to common man when they themselves are in trouble. Indian fiscal deficit was supposed to be at 5.1% by the end of this financial year but due to depreciating Indian currency and also unrest in middle east the import of crude oil has put a lot of pressure on import bills and hence on the wallet of exchequer too. Now it is expected that it will end up close to 5.8% which is not a good news for our country.

Why do we have to support politicians like Mamta Banerjee who herself is a big corrupt entity , under her rule Bengal has suffered on growth aspect , she is the one who played on the sentiments of local farmers and didn't let TATA's to set up factory to manufacture NANO. If she would have allowed the project it would have helped suffering West Bengal a lot but again corrupt and dirty politics comes into the picture. Just because she wants farmers votes she was with them , how sad for West Bengal and how good it was for Narender Modi's province Gujrat. This is just one of the incidence which proves that just to get there vote bank running these politicians will either fight for poor , for SC ,ST ,Muslim or Hindu but no one will talk about growth and development. This is no different from our past rulers from Britain who ruled us with divide and rule policy.

We desperately need a better political environment

Being politician doesn't means that you have to just be in rule for 5 or 10 years , a role of politician is to come up and educate people when there is any unrest, to come out of there comfort zones and take necessary measures. Today India has a big potential to grow at rapid pace and challenge many emerging countries even China. The need is to pull up the socks and utilise our vast pool of resources in terms of man power and there talent. We need to understand as mango people that thee reforms are just like an injection which does gives us pain initially but cures us from any disease. We are the ones who should not come under any kind of political influence which might hamper the growth of our country and ultimately become a more severe problem for us. We need to have trust in our Judiciary and our chosen leaders(Even if most of them our corrupt) but we need to understand that it's not only us who is suffering in entire world but most of it is. We need to be united and ensure that we won't let these external forces divide us and use us. Indeed we need our ruling parties to do support us too and for this we need a leader and a neat and clean political system that compliments his leadership not drag him down as many of current politicians are doing. 

We need Manmohan Singh of 1991, we need Atal Bihari Vajpayee !!!
