The Wonder-Fool Politicians of India

Guess I don't have to name them for you to know who all are in this list (endless actually).

The head of the lot being the inimitable Laloo Prasad Yadav who takes the whole bakery away with his ways. He created a political outfit to be away from the Janta Dal and acted as the "Messiah" for the downtrodden and poor of Bihar. What did he achieve? He brought more poverty, goonda-raj, misleading management, corruption, naxalism into the open, fodder scam (numerous other scams which are have not been unearthed fearing a backlash of the people) and a sense of delusion and erosion of basic humanity in the state of Bihar. Fifteen long years, a decade and a half, the Yadav's ruled the dynamic state of Bihar which has to its current credits - a humungus contribution to India with its record rice production, litchi production, pulses, mangoes, sugarcane and even tea. But did anyone ever bother about these produces? No! Never! Because everyone, including the aam public treats Bihar as a goner state. A state which has no law and order and yeah they do not know how to behave, etc etc. But has anyone ever scratched the surface? Why is one of the leading man-power state so backward in terms of everything modern - technology, development, infrastructure, health and basic conditions of living?

Well because Laloo deliberately did this to the state. He let the backwards remain there and more so even pushed a few into oblivion 'coz he knew that if he let them actually grow they would never let him be in power. It was all the power game, the Kissa Kursi Ka!

The team which led this state was governed by Ministers who were uneducated, uncouth and uncivilised. Leading the team were people who were either criminals or big landlords and rich powerful mafias. All of them never ever thought of developing infrastructure, educational institutions, healthcare or any other progressive work. All Laloo and his coterie did was "scams" and more such loot of the public money.

Laloo even today stands up and courageously announces in the Parliament that he has never asked for any favour from Sonia Gandhi led Congress-I. But he is naive. People see how being in power at the Centre as a Cabinet Minister of India he is clearly away from the clutches of the CBI. But as and when this UPA led Govt. expires its term in the Parliament next year he would be vulnerable and open for attack.

It's a shame that our policing and justice administration systems have been so paralysed by the political bosses that never can a politician face a jail sentence.

After Laloo the other ones who have contributed to the downfall of ethics and values and morals in the political system are Mulayam Singh Yadav, Mayawati, Balasaheb Thackeray, Jayalalitha, HD Devegowda, M Karunanidhi, Jagganath Mishra, Devi Lal, Bhajan Lal, Uma Bharti, Kalyan Singh, Ajit Singh and not to forget Amar Singh.

All the above mentioned names have one thing in common - their desire, their drive to fool the people of India, misguide them and take no chances in pulling off a fast one for any political purposes and that too only for making more money as politics is a business for them and not a social work.

Give us dynamic politicians like Madhav Rao Scindia, Rajiv Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Narasimha Rao, NTRama Rao, Rajiv Pilot, Atal Bihari Bajpayee, LK Advani, Narendra Modi, Naveen Patnaik, Chandrababu Naidu, Nitish Kumar and Babulal Marandi. All these politicians have one thing in common - they knew the causes of poverty and tried their level best to bring relief through the Government acts to the needy, the last man. They are true visionaries and shall always remain.

Very true. I completely agree with your point of view. It is a shame that dynamic leaders are never encouraged enough in our county.
