Its an election time in Punjab and elections are like festivals. People listen to different leaders. They know the leaders are lying but they still believe them and stand with folded hands in front of them making them feel that they are kings instead of being mere servants.
This hand floding culture needs to be stopped. Stop folding hands in front of bureaucrats and politicians. I have witnessed the folding of hands and this is not a mere 'Namaste' but a pleading of doing work.
Politicians and buraucrats enjoy this and the VIP culture is given birth to. People do not realise that it is their money which is being spent on elections to choose a leader whose constitutional duty is to serve them. The leader is not their king but a servant (but the irony is the politics is called 'raajneeti' and not 'sevaneeti').
The current government says 'Raj nahin seva' but doesn't mention is it 'Raj nahin, seva' or 'Raj, nahin seva' and neither does it mention whose seva or on whom raj. People need to get educated and be aware, but they don't want to. They just vote blindly to a person who gives them sops 3-4 months before elections. Now, Punjab is witnessing a lot of sops and programmes for its welfare which it never witnessed during governing days.
People do keep complaining about mis-governance and maladministration, but they should know that a phrase says, "People get the government they deserve". There are two kinds of people in punjab. One is the youth who should work but is completely into drugs. Now, where is it visible. Not in urban agglomerations/cities but in rural areas. Second are the old aged who have worked in their youth to make punjab a prosperous state, but obviously owing to age factors, they don't have any capacity left to work today. This second class feels very bad about deteriorating health of Punjab but they still don't want their youth to be active in politics. Not their fault, politics itself has become such a bad game that they can't afford losing thir only child to politics.
My heart cries, when I see this land of Gurus, the land of 'hatte katte jawan gabru', the land of 'dudh, dahi makhan', the land of 'ankh' becoming land of 'drugs', 'maladministration' and 'degraded land'.
My advice is that pick and choose. If you don't find any candidate good then please press NOTA button on the EVM's. The last button on a voting machine is NOTA. All electorates should press NOTA. Let their be 100% NOTA in a constituency. All political parties will be in a shame and will be forced to have good candidates. This will eventually put a full stop to Politicisation of Criminals as well as Criminalisation of Politics.
Also, a piece of advice to all political parties. Please have youth candidates even as a Chief Minister. They will be able to work better and do some responsible and on the ground task. They might make mistakes but they also want to ensure Good Governance in their beloved state.
