THANK
God, the Indian political scenario with President A.P.J.Kalam,
Sonia Gandhi, Manmohan Singh and Atal Behari Vajpayee at the
centre-stage in crucial roles, has come down to earth from the
politics of eerie eagles and directionless skylarks.
As I see it, the Indian politics is now taking the much needed
and often neglected road to development and people’s issues
rather than emotional non-sense, personality cults and
loudmouthism. The new era, call it Sonia era, Manmohan era or
United Progressive Alliance era, certainly marks a significant
change on the socio-economic horizon of India.
In their mandate, the people of India have made one thing very
clear. The political hot heads and adventurers should know
their limits. The politicians, more motivated by the lust for
power and government grab, should not be allowed to misuse the
institutions of democracy like the parliament and judiciary to
waste the tax-payers’ money and block a better future for the
people of India.
Everyone must understand that the mandate of Lok Sabha Poll
2004 is for a change, better performance, honest and
transparent people-oriented policies and development - not the
one-up manship of the personality-mongers.
The rulers and the Opposition must learn the lesson and behave
and come down to earth. That, as I see, is the mandate and the
wish of the people of India.
