End of the era of senility ,weakness and ear deafening silence . Of selling oneself and one's self respect to a powerful dynasty.End of the age of empty growth statistics, hurled at millions of hungry, half clad faces who saw only one change ,things moving from bad to worse. End of the age of helplessness when colleagues plundered on the national exchequer and the leader could do nothing but say to his secretary "This is how democracy works ". of showcasing degrees from world renowned universities but proving it by examples that erudite scholars can be miserable failures, when it comes to governance ,implementation and assertive leadership .
End of the age of IITians ,MITians ,Harvardians crawling at the feet of dumb youthfulness .Of tolerating and glorifying cabinet decisions, being torn into pieces as acts of vision and honesty .
But I do not write you off ...Oh ..the oldest party . I still see hope for you .I still see some sparks of great leadership and altruism in some of your leaders .I am a small man and you are mighty,powerful and astute politicians . What can I advice you ? Here are some of my thoughts on what you should do now on .
Make your party free of dynasty . Let the true leadership hidden and suppressed in the ranks of your party surface .
Never Never Never take people for granted .
Be a constructive opposition force . Bring out real issues .For heavens sake do not disrupt the parliament THE WAY THEY DID .Because when you guys do it , the country loses .
When you criticize someone just for criticisms sake, don't feel you are winning over your opponents . If your criticism is unfair, you end up hurting the people who respect their leaders .
Give up opposition for its sake and bring in synergy . It is by synergy alone that the country can win .
It's time up for debates on secularism . The more you use it, the more drubbing you will get . People are neither interested, nor foolish, not to understand the evil designs of using secularism as a tool for political gains .
Do not divide the society on the basis of religion ,caste and creed . Because when people meet and work with each other , we do not even think of it . I do not think of someone to be a Muslim or a Christian . For me he is my dear friend irrespective of what faith he follows.There are only two castes in India . The rich and the poor .
Be positive and have hopes. The very people who dumped you will support you if you are true to them and most importantly if you are true to yourself .
All the best for 2019.
