Everybody is a critique



All the confusion created by coal block allocation has made environment for new parties to constantly criticize the old ones. It is felt by civil society activists that by using the “exposure” of corrupt politicians, they can wield an independent party trying to bring about a “big” revolution. But each party must have its positive points which it can show to the voters; they cannot just build themselves  up by tearing others down. The rise of new parties which appear to be civil society activists does not hold much ground. They are not a re-incarnation of ‘Vishnu’ as they project themselves to be. They they want a civil war  and they want to deliver us from evils.We do not accept them as an incarnation of God, the Indian élite are not foolish enough to believe in them. Change is needed but not drastic change overthrowing the democracy we have worked so hard to build. Over last 65 years in India, we have seen many ups and down, and the government goes on. Agreed, we have much inequality in India and lots of allied problems.We have government bringing about plans for development, plans for inclusion and plans for growth. We are trying to do it better.People cannot waste time and resources by creating “neo-revolutions” neither by showing the inequalities nor by pointing at the corrupt government. What is corrupt and what is not will be decided by our self -regulatory mechanisms like CAG, Supreme Court and other investigating committees. One need not to comment incessently on the working of the government and take advantage of the present situation. If one wants to start a party, one must spell out ones intent and one's aspirations--and not relay on other's weaknesses.
