JLB and Team Anna

There is a lot of hue and cry on JLB. Team Anna is holding the democracy of 100 Crore to ransom, should it be allowed? The cause is just and so is the concern, but is the approach democratic / just. The issue is by acting like this hew of our esteemed fellow citizens are putting the Nation to shame.
JLB is all right and we should definitely have a strong LB but is it sufficient and will it bring corruption to an end. Why can’t we have a body like civil society with a wide spread network to act as watch dog. People report incidents to it and they tackle the matter in Gandhian way. This way we will be helping the administration and ourselves too in getting rid of the menace of corruption from our country. This may take time but can be effective.
It is strongly felt that team Anna should stop acting in a manner that embarrasses the Govt., and dilutes its position in the world.

Helpless Prime minister

It is a strange predicament for the PM. On one end we keep listening to statement from the leaders that allocation of portfolios is the prerogative of the PM and on the other parties bargain for a particular berth in the cabinet for alliance. This raises a doubt about the statement that the elected ones are there to serve. The smaller parties bargain for a particular ministry as if one is more lucrative than the other. If that be the case then one is left with no illusion but the fact that they are there to make money and benefit their kith and kin. It is quite surprising that their assets multiply at astronomical pace irrespective of the National growth.
If the leaders of the party have to always remain manipulating support to remain in saddle then there will always be merry go round on all the time. Why can’t the parties allow the PM to have his own team based on merits so that he may be in a position to provide efficient governance to the country, and take the country forward?

Ahemdabad the Best City to live in.

The survey report saying that the best city to live in India is Ahmedabad has made us all proud. We are indebted to The CM for his stewardship and this Govt., for achieving this feat. Now we all have an added responsibility on our shoulders to sustain this position and in fact we must commit ourselves to furthering this position. The areas which need to be paid attention are safety norms on the roads, improving hygienic conditions, ensuring that no unfortunate incident like the Hospital fire in Kolkata takes place in our city or state. We need to display respect for the traffic norms. We must ensure that two wheelers and autos do not enter dedicated cycle lane, and vice versa that is when on cycle we should ride in the cycle lane. Just imagine how beautiful the traffic circles will look when Zebra crossing is clear for pedestrians, traffic is moving smoothly in the left turning lane when there is a long serpentine queue of vehicles awaiting the traffic light to go green.
All the high rise buildings Hospitals and Hotels must ensure that the fire safety norms are strictly adhered to, so that the city does not earn a bad name due to any loss to life or property.
We as citizens must remain alert and be ready to come to the rescue of anyone who has been robbed, and report to the authorities when we come across any person of dubious character. It we the citizens who can ensure that all the chain snatchers are behind the bars
Let us all commit to do our bit and make our city proud.

Let The parliament function

The citizens are feeling cheated. The only news which one reads is about adjournment of the house. The parliament is not functioning and the exchequer is being squeezed and drained out. Why the ones responsible for the act can’t be held accountable and penalized for the same? The representatives are asking for perks, beacon lights, and to be taken up in the protocol list, is that being fair to the people? The reason being put forwarded is the bureaucrats do not give them due respect. In this case we should keep in mind that we get respect in accordance with our deeds and not as per our position.
We request our leaders to stop brick batting, mudslinging as well as accusing each other to stop the down ward slide of the dignity is associated with their position. Have mercy of the Aam Aadmi and let the parliament run.
