Deny or accept : Public knows the truth

As published in free press dated 24/03/2011 

We are not surprised at the wikileaks revelations. Public knew the truth, even before wiki got to know about it. What goes on in the background of any coalition formation or confidence vote motion is no secret to janta at large and  netas in particular. From sports to politics, every move is fixed by cash or kind. We are in democracy not because of any love for it but  for the reason that it is convenient for leaders and people  both  to take their own liberties with the system. We are happy that we have so may rights, right to express , right to education, right to information, right to work, right to privacy, rights as a human etc. These are all toys to keep us busy, the master is doing his job as per his conviction or may be at his master’s choice. We have not elected them to power, they have managed to win our votes.

We as public have been shouting, crying and scolding the government for ever rising inflation for the last two years , but could we make them to go a little slower on their growth rate  agenda, NO. We have urged them to remove the food items from commodity future market but are they listening, NO. We have voiced our concern about risks of allowing FDI in Multi brand retail but they are going ahead with that. Why ?, because they are committed to someone else than the people of india. 

In the last cabinet reshuffle, there were strong rumors about the induction of Shri Monteksingh Ahluwalia as Finance Minister in place of Shri Pranab Mukerjee. Now it is clear that whose choice was this. When  US commerce secretary Gary Locke visited India in Feb 2011, our commerce and industries minister Shri Anand Sharma was pulled up for not implementing favorable FDI policies and import duty structure to facilitate American export to India. The US-India nuclear deal for which our prime minister had risked his government was closely supervised by the US interests. To add to the worst is the situation that is not going to be changed  even by the change of government. The opposition is also sailing in the same boat.
