Wo Subah Kabhi to Aayegi

New Government is there to come, but I dont see any aspiration of aam aadmi from new Government. In five years of ceremonial sittings of Parliament, what we see is all personalized issues in the name of aam aadmi. Next five years (if it could see the full length of its life), there will be no change in the character of our elected democratic setup. In our electoral politics there is no issue of development. I believe development has lost its connotation in its Indian perspective. If only 10% of allocated fund is actually spent on the schemes and projects of Union Government, who is going to own up the responsibility of pocketing 90% of exchequers' money? This issue is more serious than Godhra, Ayodhya, Atomic Energy pact etc. etc....but who will blame whom..all share the booty shamelessly.
If I am given an opportunity to be heard by the Government, I have only two expectations from the Government in social sector in next five years:
  1. Let each and every child of this country have education of same standard (be it curriculum or be it infrastructure). For poor people different set of schools and for rich five star luxury schools..This discrimination must go..it is criminal. Market can decide all other thing, but not the right to equal opportunity. In the new setup rich parents should be charged appropriately and poor parents should be subsidised by the government. If we start this new system, there will be no need of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan type of schemes and also to force policy of Reservation at any stage and in any sector.
  2. Health of every citizen should be given same priority, as it is considered for their security. Health facilities should also be the same for each and every individual. Government should do away with all health schemes and with all this money it should subsidise the services rendered by hospitals to the citizens.

In healthy and educated citizens Government can take pride...every sick or uneducated citizen is a black spot on the face of Indian Democracy. They are not just there to be forced to vote by all means...Discrimination in these two sectors will some day lead to unrest, which will be very difficult to handle.

I know this is very much possible, what we need is to have a will....we have money, we have good policymakers and we do have many good implementers like Kalams, Sreedharans, Narayanmurthys who are eagerly waiting for such responsibilities.

Wo Subah Kabhi To Aayegi!
