Divide, make’em fool and sit back cool!!

Perhaps, that’s what "behen" mayawati ji is thinking, And if it is true.. then how’s is it? Let me dig into it a bit deeper… By seeing today’s political scenario, behen ji’s weight is not less than any other party’s, in fact she looks more heavier than her arch rivals SP and BJP… (As usual!!)… Congress doesn’t come into picture at all when it comes to UP… and now after their countless “good deeds” in this tenure, they are already declared as looser!! So, in spite of having on such a good position and control over UP politics, why is mayawati playing this card of division? Is she trying to distract people from Taj corridor case or medical and other scams?

Now if she still plays, let’s see what she has in her deck of cards? UP is having the largest population of dalits and they are equally spread in entire state and BSP being a dalit led/for party, it has equal chances of winning in all the regions of state. So, is this the reason behind behenji’s confidence? Only sri kansiram ji knows!!

And she has the tremendous support from local parties like Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) headed by Ajit Singh, who has been campaigning for small states like Harit Pradesh comprising the western region, Raja bundela campaigning for Bundelkhand. They have their own “reasons/interests” of supporting behenji’s “noble” cause.

 Now let's see how “noble” is this cause? We have already seen small states carved out of bigger states and doing well. Like Uttarakhand, earlier part of UP and now comes into the list of fastest growing and good states to live in. On the other hand we have chattisgarh, once a part of MP, now comes in the list of failed states. Why it failed? It failed, due to lack of resources, it always has to look for help from other states, whereas Uttarakhand had all the resources which helped it to become a successful independent state. So it is not necessary for a state to become prosperous by chopping it into smaller, helpless pieces.

The division of states should be based on its currently available resources, which will make it successful and independent.

100 and still counting!!

100 and still counting!! Is government really become deaf, blind and mute or waiting for it to become a political agenda on which they can do cheep politics and come up with it in the next elections? Yes, I am talking about Manipur economic blockade. The situation here is getting worse day by day and the only one, who is suffering due to this, is Manipur’s common man. It seems government has nothing to do with it and it is none of their business. Living for common man here has become hell, they are struggling really hard to get their basic necessities. Petrol and cooking gas cylinders are being sold at “unimaginable prices” like around Rs.200/ltr for petrol and around Rs.2000/cylinder for cooking gas. Even the prices of potatoes and tomatoes are touching sky. There is nothing to indicate that there is a mechanism to monitor the prices of goods being sold in the market, whether it is in whole sale or retail sale. Every seller is busy in making their own price list!! 

This economic blockade is due to the clash between two communities, Naga and Kuki. The Sadar Hills District Demand Committee (SHDDC) had launched the economic blockade Aug 1 on two national highways — Imphal-Dimapur-Guwahati (NH 39) and Imphal-Jiribam-Silchar (NH53) — to press their demand for conversion of the Kuki tribal majority Sadar Hills area into a full-fledged district. However, tribal Nagas inhabiting the area are opposed to the creation of a Sadar Hills district. The Nagas have since Aug 1 also launched a counter-blocakde on the two highways opposing the demand by the Kuki people for a separate district.

And I was more shocked when I came to know that recently Manipur received award for “the Best Improved State in Governance among Small States of India” by India today group. Now I wonder, Is this for the award has given? Forget state government, central is acting like step mother, Is Manipur not a state or part of India, these are the situations in which rebels born, lift guns, point it towards government and called Naxalite or Maoists!!
