RESPONSIBILITY
Responsibilities of the new government in India
Victory brings along with it a lot of responsibilities. Especially the present victory of the BJP in the LS 2014. There can be no complaints, as the people of the country have given a clear majority for the party and also near about 325 seats for the NDA. (Written after leading positions shown for all 543 seats - officially results have to be announced and the exact no. of seats for BJP and NDA). This support of the people to form a government with the partners in NDA is unmistakable. The partners have to be taken into confidence and the various positions of responsibility carefully assigned so that the performance is of the standards expected by the people. It is a fact, with a lot of expectations the people of this country has reposed confidence on Modi. The senior leaders of the party have to be assigned positions which will enhance the reputation of the government and vital portfolios are given to people of vast experience both in the government and outside of it.
All said and done, the dissatisfaction over the UPA 2 was largely due to misrule with no accountability and charges of corruption day in and day out and there was no hope of anything getting punished for their lapses. So, the new government has to address this issue and the moment this is thought of, the institutions responsible for bringing people to book have to be carefully revamped to achieve this and at the same time not making these independent institutions to be subservient. Added to this, a cleaner image has to be brought in, by not allocating work to people with dubious records, even if they were responsible for the campaign during the elections. Some of the winning candidates also who would have escaped the gudgeon at the time of allocating seats will now have to be brought to bear the discipline. All these need a cohesive party.
The peoples' need on daily basis whether belonging to the lower or middle class were not addressed by the erstwhile UPA 2, with a callous attitude on price rise and inflation. There was total disregard on inflationary matters and price of petroleum products was not studied or analysed for a long term policy which will lead to an adjustment of the prices only once in 6 months as is being done for neutralisation of price rise by way of dearness allowance to state and central govt employees. The road vehicles especially the autorickshaws metering was totally uncontrolled by frequent adjustment of prices of petroleum products based on crude oil prices. This also had an effect on the bus fares and the common man was put to lot of hardship in selecting the correct mode of transportation which will suit him. There are other follies like improper distribution of food grains which also contributed to inflation. The management of the food grains storage and movement has to be in the top priority of the new dispensation. The new government has to concentrate having the inflation under control as well as growth given importance. A lot of developmental activities have been suggested in the manifesto of the party. In this regard, the manifesto of the party, which spoke about bullet trains should be made a reality as well as linking of rivers.
Close and joint working with state governments to truly represent the federal set up of this vast country should be the topmost priorities to achieve various goals set by the government.
The national education policy for higher education should be evolved to stop the hardship of lesser priveleged and equal opportunities should be available for all sections of society. Continuing on this, the youth power of this country should be channelised with more employment opportunities. Womens' empowerment should in the true sense and should encompass their safety too.
Last but no the least, the prestige of our jawans, officers and the entire defence has to be brought back to the days of glory of the past which has taken a beating in the last 5 years.
The golden opportunity offered by the LS 2014 election is the uncommitted support of 3 parties namely AIADMK, TMC and BJD, who could offer a support of around 70 seats which will enable the government to have a 2/3rd majority when required for legislation. Getting them as supporters should be left to the elderly elected representatives of the party and the manangement of communication to these parties also can be left to these elders by fully engaging them and for the benefit of the government.
Will the new government usher in peace and happiness to all sections of society, with a true Ram Rajya, where people are assured of employment, fair wages, a better living standards, corruption free administration at all levels, growth and development duly having better relations with all negihbours. Though only results have come, the people responsible for the assigning of various activities will have to work overtime before 21st May 2014, to bring in the best team and should be a team that should be envied by one and all.
I do hope with Mr. Modi at the helm of affairs, this will be a possibility.
