The dire need for mature leadership
As the election propaganda is heating up, the political scenario in the country is changing faces
As the election propaganda is heating up, the political scenario in the country is changing faces. Political immaturity and lack of morality is evident everywhere. Mudslinging and malicious remarks are practised even by the top brass of our political parties.
Base and mean arguments are the weapons of this new generation of the so called 'vibrant' leaders. Labelled as Young Turks, they take law into their hands and make free even the criminals who are caught by the police in cases like murder and public assault and even rape.
Most of these leaders shout from their rooftops that they are for protection of women in the country and in the name of an immature and untimely judgment from the apex court.
Our leaders always try to protect the miscreants. And still we claim that ours is the largest democracy in the world. Crazy, sure, these strange leaders care a rap for the wellbeing of the country as a whole. They are looking only for political mileage at any cost and want to win by hook or by crook.
Most of these leaders do not even know the primary tenets of democracy and want to get their will done by making the sentiments of the unsuspecting masses. Religion and places of worship have become the latest weapons in their hands.
The recent Sabarimala issue in Kerala is a good/bad example. All political parties came to the fore with their pretentious postures and confused the thought process of the masses of Kerala.
Age-old customs and traditions flew to the wild winds just because of an untimely, immature decision by the apex court of the country. Parties and people were bitterly divided on the issue. The end result was violence and more violence.
The government of Kerala was forced to bring in the rule of law by using force and the Opposition parties got a good chance to find fault with the actions of the ruling government.
They just wanted to make hay while the sun shone. Days of orderly elections observing all the democratic principles, it seems are gone forever. It is mainly due to absence of quality leadership in the main political parties and groups.
Time, we put a stop to our petty-mindedness and political immaturity and thought about the total well-being of India. Let's make the grass greener and the hearts happier.
