A step forward

Thank God, the UPA government survived. I had been praying for its survival ever since the confidence motion was mooted to be put in the Parliament. I am not a UPA government supporter per se, but a common citizen who can discern what is right and what is wrong. You don’t need a big perspective to realize the fatuity of the farce going out there in the national polity. Now that it is over, I can seriously look forward to, and in fact, again pray for, some of the developments.

First, the Left parties need to be eliminated from the Indian political system. They are a blot on our country. However harsh the words may sound, it is true. They held the government to ransom for four years, but now they have got what they deserved. Hope in the next elections, they get negative seats, if that is possible.

Second, the UPA government push not only the N-deal, but also a number of held proposals in its remaining one year. There are many Acts lying in limbo in the Parliament. They need to be pushed for the betterment of the economy.

Third, the NDA headed by BJP realize what it takes to win an election. The country has changed much, and so has its polity, even if minimally. I hope it concentrates on building its own profile, rather than confronting the government just for the sake of it. The NDA, for all its publicized communal ideology, was the first government to actually arise in a new Shining India. I want them lead the nation next year.

Fourth and final, I want everyone to draw inspiration or reaffirm his or her faith from the above development that the time has indeed come or not gone away, to usher in a new developed era. The charlatans can’t hold the erudite now. If we manage to pull it off, then we would be proud of today several years later. It just needs a bit more belief; acts will follow, I am sure.
