DEMOCRACY JERKS OFF...

It appears as if our ministers are striving hard to downgrade our democracy and its fundamentals to fullest. Rising above all the unprecedented scams that even makes World Bank wonder that how come a developing country like India stands such a huge loss to public exchequer and still manages a decent growth rate of over 8 per cent. But, this time around our so called public servants graduated to one more level and managed to deliver an all time low to the institution of the democracy. Recently three B.J.P M.L.As from Karnataka State Assembly were caught watching a porn film clip when the discussion over the draught hit areas was on the floor of the house.

An affront to those political lobbies from where these ministers hail. I am clearly indicating Sangh Parivar-RSS duo those who exhaustively carry out cleaning-up drives to combat out mess from the society by naming it as moral-policing. Disgrace on their face when on one side they come out on roads on Valentine’s Day to pronounce it as the Black Day for Indian culture and tradition and then paradox to that completely safeguard their ministers’ pervert act. It also raises a serious question to our top-drawer whom we appoint as our mirror image to the centre and in revert to that they completely pull us down.

Politics in contemporary times has undergone a significant transition and a supernova makeover where it has re-laid down its fundamentals and postulates. It has left behind its paramount objective of serving the masses and has restricted it to serving self.

The best that can be said in an age where our legislatures are sporadic witnesses non-constitutional activities ranging from fisticuffs, exchange of abuse, screaming, overthrown furniture, ripped out microphones, torn papers and flung slippers — is that the trio were at least passing their time in quiet communion.
