Shamelessness at its best or worst

I came across an article about Meghalaya getting 2 Chief Ministers and could not hold it any longer. The utter shamelessness that has settled in our political circles has reached astounding levels. 60 years after becoming 'Republic' India seems to be scaling new heights where corruption is concerned. Those who framed our world famed constitution must be feeling insulted, or would have had they been alive, and it would have been rightly so. Seeing the way the constitution which was supposed to have a government by the people, for the people and of the people to have democratic government is nominally by the people (lack of choice takes away freedom of choice), definitely not for the people,but yes it is of the people if you call power struggle between few elite people as government of the people. Perhaps we should invent a new word to define government forced on the people(you could call it dictatorship, but it has absolutely no choice), by few power hungry politicians, for only the leisure of these politicians.

Corruption has been integral part of Indian politics and governance since I remember, but it was something behind the closet. Now it seems they are no more afraid to do it all in open.As katrina says in NewYork movie, she is well aware that John is involved in terrorsism but as long as he himself does not inform her of it, there is a hope that he could be turned back.The day that he acknowledges to her that he is a terrorist he would be truly lost. It seems that they are acknowledging their corrupt practices out in open and stating that they shall continue doing so. These people have lost every sense of decency and shame. They are no more afraid to make outrageous demand, because they know that these can be fulfilled. No longer do they have to fear the people, because no more are the people the boss. They are the boss and they can do as they like. Anyone who has watched the movie 'A Wednessday' may recall Naseerudeen Shah stating 'they have challenged us. The asked us a question. Ki bhai humlog to aise hi karte rahenge. Tum kya karoge.' The same way the government has been asking us the same question.They too are challenging us. We shall continue doing this.What are you the people going to do. We may be few but we can will take you all for granted.We shall use you for our own purposes. We are not there to serve you.You are there to serve us by giving us you hard earned money for our enjoyment. We are no longer public servants.The public is our servants. The only devlopment we are bothered about is our own. The country could go to dogs for all we care. This the attitude persistent amongst the governing circles.

Considering the current attitude it should not come as a surprise that a state has two Chief Minister.It is no longer a de-facto position. The second Chief Minster has been declared so by official notice. While the original Chief Minister shall wield the actual executive powers, the second one shall stay in advisory role to the first CM. That gives rise to a question why officially make him the CM if he is going to hold advisory role? Why not appoint him the advisor to the CM? That my friends is because as a CM he becomes entitled to various advantages without having any work. As a CM he shall be able to draw the salary of a CM, have the security and motorcade, free of cost five star housing, hell lot of servants and the perks all from the public treasury. The public treasury is supposed to be used to fulfill their whims not for public welfare. Next we shall have two Prime Ministers, Presidents and cabinets. Shall we have more Chief Justice of India too? Let us call everyone of the supposed public servant category as the President of India.Why not officially allocate 95% of the budget to serve the whims of these blood suckers?

This does not occur as an isolated incidence.The recent controversy with appointment of Justice Balakrishnan as the Cheif Justice of India, the attempt by the same Justice Balakrishnan to keep himself out of the purview of Right To Information Act.Justice Balakrishnan seems so desperate to remain out of the purview of RTI Act that he filed an appeal against the order of Delhi High Court stating that the Supreme Court is subject to RTI Act as well, in the Supreme Court. The Supreme court files an appeal against the High Court order, with the Supreme Court. It would have been hilarious had it not been a glaring example of the rampant corruption within the system.I would like to ask the CJI what is it that he is trying to hide. Why is it that he is so desperate to be excluded from the RTI Act?

What could be more shamless than insulting those who died during the 26/11 terror attacks. The then CM of Maharashtra who was removed from his post currently is cabinet Minister with the central government. The Home Minister is back to his old position, the then CP of Mumbai Mr. Hasan Gafoor too is enjoying himself. None of them showed even and ounce of shame, and ounce is used to measure the rare and highly expensive metal like gold. The shame in these people seems much more rarer than the rarest of metals.

I do not think any such acts should surprise us anymore. They know what the people think about them and they have become insensitive to such thoughts of people because they know whatever they do, they will be the ones elected anyways, so there is nothing to fear. Everyone knows what is happening, so they could as well do it in the open. If you think this is the height of shamelessness, think again. They are hell bent on proving you wrong about your negative thoughts concerning them.They can and will sink much lower than this while we watch on helplessly, wondering where did we loose it all, how could it all come down to this?


Welcome to the new changing India, where Corruption is the supreme law and pleasure of 'Public Servants' is the new discipline and supreme law.
