Of Resorts, Chartered Flights, and 53 Million stranded passengers

It is the hour of shame for democracy. It is a classic case of how the hopes of 53 million people can be hijacked by a handful of power mongers.

It is a phase in politics which these days catapult a peripheral party member to iconic status, for crisis handling abilities.

A phase when the otherwise Yatra prone politicians prefer chartered flights to resorts in undisclosed locations ensure that their “strong ideology” doesn’t get diluted at sighting a briefcase containing currency.

It is an utter scene of disgust. This is a case which demonstrates, how numbers both in The House and in the Bank, dictate the tenure of the Government, as a group headed by the Ex Prime Minister’s son just decides to pull out from ruling Congress – JD(S) alliance, allegedly because his astrologer told him that this is a now or never time for his bid to stake the position of the Chief Minister of Karnataka.

There is no new found ideological, or political divide causing the mess, and it is just greed, hunger for the chair, and money power that has shaped this picture of ignominy.

Not an iota of thought has gone into the repercussions, of such a move, in terms of impact on people, policies or economy.

This chaos, is going to be followed by one more unprincipled coalition that will rule for an uncertain period of time. And WE THE PEOPLE, watch this with utter helplessness.

Now the impact of this spree of comic acts on the Industry scene in Karnataka, is going to be colossal. As the state that houses the IT Capital of country and IT itself contributing about 8% of GDP, the flow of foreign funds into the bourses is going to suffer, thanks to this power hungry clan of politicians.

The way the state’s politics is stooping to new lows, it just goes to show how important it is to have a breed of educated and service centric set of politicians at the helm, and by just having revolutionaries and visionaries in corporates and science organizations, it is of absolutely no relevance, when it comes to stability in governance, which is the core of all things, good and bad, that impacts the State.
