For so many weeks, we
all are seeing the state of Uttar Pradesh in the news for all the wrong
reasons. Today yet again U.P. is in news for another wrong reason. Let me first
remind you all of the issues plaguing the state in the past 2 years
ever since the Samajwadi party came in power.
First came, the riots in
Bareily. It haunted the city and neighboring places for almost 2 months. The
business suffered. Many lives were lost and lot of people came on road. Apart
from this, approximately 27 riots in 2 years.
Last year the communal
riots of Muzaffarnagar happened. Now this is so far the worst one with lots of
people from both communities being displaced and dying. The media is focusing
on the camps of a particular religion but lot of people from other religion is
also suffering the same or maybe the worse fate. But anyway, irrespective of
who is suffering, the government and so called NGOs and Political parties did
next to nothing. Even the political parties for whom this particular community
is a major vote bank did nothing except making lot of noises and doing politics
on the poor people sufferings.
During all these
sufferings, the ruling party and the C.M. of the state were spending hard
earned money of the people of U.P. in hosting a 12 day event in the
C.M.’s home village – Saifai. After all who cares for the people of UP. Once
they have cast their votes they are no longer useful for next 5 years.
Then we all saw CCTv
footage of one of S.P. leader hitting a poor agent at a Toll Naka. Now the poor
man was only doing his duty but does this make any difference to the people in
power. No because they think that they are above GOD also so how can a common
man stand in front of them and ask for the money every commoner has to pay to
use the road.
Now yesterday night, the
police beat up poor women on NH-2 for blocking the road. The women were
protesting as one lorry had killed 2 labourers from the village. These women
were hit bruttly by the police lathis & hands. They were slapped and shoved
and beaten by polic for protesting. Can’t the station head speak to them
properly to get the highway cleared.
Now I can
understand it is difficult to control a mob but what a group of ladies can do.
I don’t think they were violent. A swift police action against the road
accident and the guilty party would have sorted the matter easily.
I am sure, other
political parties instead of keeping mum or just issuing statements on these
issue can take some actions from their side. They can make sure that people in
Muzaffarnagar can go back to their home or the least can get warm clothes for
them to save from cold. The C.M. and ruling party (Samajwadi Party) are
obviously ignorant of the true meaning of the word Samajwadi. Just because
their party name is about Socialism, doesn’t make the leaders socialist. They
behave and think of themselves as kings and royalties. And here I thought that
the old kings and kingdoms are long gone from India. But seems the people in
power, a power handed over to them by us, are not aware that the kings are no
more.
Unfortunately, for U.P.
the problem is not only the Samajwadi Party but its predecessor Bahujan
Samajwadi Party is also the same. Right now there are no great leaders in both
Congress and BJP to lead the people of Uttar Pradesh. Due to this every time
elections come, there is no change. One time it will be BSP ruling next time it
will be SP. Both parties have a blatant disregard for law & order. They
don’t respect the common people. Both Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav & Ms.
Mayawati have used the taxpayers money to pay for their whims whether it is the
mountainous expense for Saifai Mahotsav or the putting up of the BSP symbol
Elephant’ marble statues in hundreds of places to promote themselves.
Hope one day, people of
U.P. will wake up and throw these tyrannical parties. AMEEN..
