Please talk sense, oh CM, my dear.

The rilings between Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley are rather mock parliamentarianism for Indians who look at the social sites. As such things occur repeatedly, the only casualty is the state’s development. The pre-election promises made for Delhi by both the AAP and the BJP are already a forgotten hope, what is present is only the raillery, the Delhiites find every other day.

As the legislative leader of the state one needs to speak only when enough research has been done on a topic. Somebody must work to do the backdoor research for Mr Kejriwal, everytime, before he opens his mouth.

Commenting on a topic which is highly sensitive and easily identifiable even by the commonman as ‘irrelevant’, is a task he should have carried out after adequate fact-findings.

He should always mind a truth, that bringing a corruption charge against a minister like Mr Jaitley, who has proved to be one of the most efficient and honest faces in the Union Cabinet today, requires fool-proof documents.

It is therefore no wonder that other equally honest ministers like Smt Smriti Irani and Mr Venkaiah Naidu would castigate Mr Kejriwal for faulty countering. Smt Irani was correct in her observation that Mr Kejriwal has already diluted much of his Anna Hazare-time fervour and sobriety by making statements in favour of his colleagues caught in wrong practices.

In politics you have to make do with all kinds of colleagues, wrong or right; but you cannot afford to support the wrong just because s/he is your colleague.

West Bengal Chief Minister Miss Mamata Banerjee recently showed the way gloriously about how to do it. She promptly de-linked the Trinamul Congress party from her closest lieutenants Mr Mukul Roy and Mr Madan Mitra caught into the net of anti-corruption moves of the people forcing the CBI to charge-sheet them.

All this is a subject of quality sense of politics. Once you lose your quality thought process, you lose the quality action. Once the process gets wrong, the wrong gets into you.

Delhiites today suffer under these heavyweights at governance. May I name a few, please?

The mome-seekers cannot get homes in Delhi at affordable rates, because of the nexus of the builders and the power which handles housing.

Stressed by limited income and rising costs of living, economically unprotected people go to unauthorized colonies, which continue to get slow development moves from the governments, both in the state and the Centre, thanks to their political oneupmanship.

Property dealers continue to enter the state governance and further make homes unreachable to the needy.

Water is life, and that water continues to be denied to the masses, forcing them into illegal borings, including clandestine bore-wells run secretly under the very nose of the administration. As police protection is undependable, reporting of such clandestine boring is not done.

The Delhi Jal Board continues to close complaints, just as they did during Mrs Sheila Dikshit’s tenure, before even attending on then, or supplying the water. Talking to them for supplies is yet another chronic problem, because the calls are not even taken.

Footpaths, the only safe space for the teeming pedestrians, are still captured by arrogant residents who turn them into their parking plots.
The dishonest shop-keepers turn them into their show-spaces. The maverick food-vendors exhibit entrepreneurship on the public pathways.

All these sections of people are somehow close to the powers, both at the state and/or the Centre.

Crimes continue to increase but not often recorded, as the lower rung of the Delhi Police officials, especially the I.O.s, continue to take bribes to protect the accused and the criminals. The gullible victims continue to be the victims of mal-justice.

At justice administration system, justice is the least ensured, also because the advocates play tricky. They should be given registration only under a quality supervision of checks and balances, so that they fail to tie up with their fellow advocates in the opponent and defeat their economically weak clients, whom they anyway fleece in advance.

Quality function comes from quality education. The quality education is guided by moral social vision. Such education is seldom in private sector schools, colleges and universities, because these only teach opportunism in its nasty sense of the term and how to make money more quickly.

The state in India alone can ensure that quality education which abides by social morality. For that the state has to develop its educational institutions very well -- solvent and qualitatively productive. This is not happening in Delhi.
Neither the state government nor the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) are focusing on this aspect.

The state-run schools and colleges are conspicuous of poor academic teaching-learning processes. The teachers lack required professional perseverance, while harbour the least sense of responsibilities. They even stop their self-education after attaining an employment. Developing continual skills of quality teaching and quality educational expertise is often a far cry among these teachers in state-run schools, colleges, and universities. The Centre also is responsible for this lackadaisicalism.

All the above are some of the basics of a civic life, which the governments of the day are duty-bound to look into. Seldom that happens. What happens is the mockery of pluralism. India’s today is a split-face of democracy.

Delhiites would love to see that the raillery between the Delhi State and the Centre be turned into healthy competition of which can improve which sector of life better and faster.

The BJP should allow the AAP to work out its governance, and the AAP should be a patient learner first, and loud-mouth about the governance later, if at all that is required. But the phrases used in democracy have to be gentle, and not ruffian-like.

You cannot expect support if you continue to talk nonsense to sensationalise an atmosphere. In Democracy you are required to work productively along with your opponents. That can be possible, only when you speak sense with logic and sobriety. Long India has forsaken the life of feudal lordings.

Oh, let Mr Kejriwal please take good support staff as advisers, and talk sense. more
