Short-term memory, Long term Plight
Ask any Bombayite who has suffered the deluge of floods of July 2005 and they will unflinchingly blame it on the government. Ask any government official and they will redirect their woes unto nature and higher powers.
Wait until next year to watch a repeat performance. Agreed that the loss of human life and poor living conditions are not some new phenomenon in this country and that 'we are used to it'.
However, what is the point of sitting at home and getting butchered year after year. If it is so acceptable, why scream at the politician once in the year and then smile happily with them the next day. Just a little time passes by and people are back to their 'routine'. What can we do? 'This country is like this only'.
Well, where are you when some of the saner elements warned you and tried speaking to you? Did you support them? In case you do not have the 'sense' to vote the right people or take some action, you do not have an iota of chance to change things.
Why do you vote people who just know to divert attention and point fingers? How is it that they have the audacity to simply point fingers at others and get away with it? Why is it that REL is squarely blamed for poor planning of BSES?
Does it mean that since the government is incapable of managing anything except making tax money disappear, they should perhaps wash their hands off all ventures which are in a mess and then blame the buyers of those ventures the next time round. They should probably 'privatize' the central railway to ABC and then blame ABC, if the trains stop functioning in the next monsoon.
It seems strange to me that your pain reduces if your politician speaks 'your language' or is from 'your religion'. If we continue to 'appoint' people based on these parameters, then God help us.
Moreover, why are we not willing to pay for the mess? Who throws garbage to clog the drains and who uses plastic? Even if the drains are unclogged by the BMC, where is the efficiency? Does it make sense to ask the BMC to unclog drains at huge costs to the budget and human health and then point fingers at them when it does not help? You will have probably gagged the drains within a few days anyway.
Get your priorities right people! If you prioritize the idiot box over the ballot box, you are bound to be ruled - but by Idiots.
