As the drama is going on in Karnataka politics, we, the citizen, are feeling totally helpless! After a misrule by Congress and JDS, we decided to give BJP a chance. When we gave chance, it was not for 1 or 2 years, but for 5 years. Who wants to waste our own money for more and more elections!
As things seems to have got settled, problems only started surfacing. Initial blackmailing from Reddy brothers only showed us how weak our CM is. Some tainted ministers were inducted to “strengthen” the government! As reshuffling happened, dropped ministers and other MLAs started blackmailing. It only showed how elected representatives are only interested in making money than serving the people. This was the plight of BJP.
Coming to our opposition, the Congress has ruled (looted) the state and country for so many years that it finds it difficult to sit in opposition. With governor acting like a BJP-hater, things never look easy for the state. Congress even went for padayatra, but we really didn’t hear any positive outcome from it. The only positive, perhaps, was that some of our netas shed some kgs! Congress has never acted as a responsible opposition.
Coming to JDS, the party which does not have any morals or principles left! Even though the people of Karnataka clearly said “No” this party, it is still dreaming of ruling the state! Gowda and his sons cannot digest the fact that they are rejected by the people. They are always trying to dislodge the government and sit in the hot seat by hook or crook! They do not hesitate to seek the support from it’s equidistant enemy Congress. In the recent drama, JDS was seen openly supporting BJP dissidents to dislodge the government.
As we see each of these parties, one thing is pretty clear. Everyone is acting for their own vested interests. No one is least bothered to ask the people what they really want. We, the people have voted each of these MLAs. But, today we are in a back seat. We have become a mute spectator. Unfortunately, even the media is of no help. These media are just dancing to the tunes of political parties!
With all these natakas in Karnataka, the loser is pretty clear. It’s us, the people. But, who cares! We have made the selection and we have to suffer! Long live democracy!
In any organization, salary hike is decided based on the performance of an employee. I'm not sure in the government office but in any typical organization, this is the case. Based on the performance of an employee, hike percentage is also decided.
But, look at the salary hikes for MPs. Government has decided to increase by 3 times! This percentage of hike applies to every MP. We, the people of India, have no idea why and on what basis these hikes were given!
As one of the tax payers, I would like to know what were the criterion used for this hike.
1. Did they take the attendance of MPs into account?
2. Did they evaluate the performance of each MP based on the work carried out in the respective constituency?
3. Did they consider "mannerism" of MPs during the sessions?
4. Did they consider the corruption background of each MP?
5. Did they evaluate how the constituency development money was utilized by each MP?
6. Did they consider whether MP has come up with any new idea for the development of constituency?
7. Did they consider if MP has done anything to improve the living conditions of people?
8. Did they ever talk to people of the constituencies to access MP's performance?
In an organization, without proper assessment employees will not get hikes. Then why is this difference when it comes to our MPs?
Are there any MP(s) who are listening to these questions? It would be great if you can answer to some of these if not all.
Today I got one SMS from my friend seeking a help for his friend's mother. She needs AB- blood and she's hospitalized in Bangalore. At that moment, one thing which came to my mind was Tweet4blood. It is a simple yet effective application which utilizes the power of popular micro-blogging and social networking site Twitter.
If you need blood, just hit http://tweet4blood.com and submit your request. No need to login and no need to register!
If you are a donor, follow tweet4blood at http://twitter.com/tweet4blood and you'll get notification for all blood requests. Currently, 405 people are following tweet4blood (including me!).
Is it not so simple? The credit goes to Thejesh who has developed this application.
