Developmental Reforms and Social Politicking
By: Amit Bhushan Date: 15th Oct. 2015
The election in a state is manifesting itself into a Free-for-all with politicians across spectrum (all across the nation) trying to chip in. There angst towards social scene and disruptions being caused thereunder can be understood however such leaders have constantly turned a blind eye towards reasons for such a situation. That they lost on account of a lack of commitment towards what the author would call developmental politics, is still not being addressed or understood fully.
No clear view or directions for the same were available for reference regards any of the sector (for reference by public), leave alone the start-ups or IT/telecom. Criticism on these account on social media especially sites like the Management Paradise were ignored as frivolous. Even now, those currently struggling 'leaders' (in states undergoing polls) are trying to just respond to the current brand of developmental politics (though the author would agree that the claims of a select few would rival with those on the "other side" in the political hemisphere) rather than having some concrete stand or opinion or direction, exception being that the 'other side' has a bit taller claims than actual deeds.
A newer bandwagon of concern for global economy is being raised rather than sharing ideas about fixing problems at home; and why they failed to fix it (problem at home), is not being even attempted to be responded by those trying to kite-fly their concerns about the global economy. The concerns for the minorities and down-trodden raised by such 'leaders', if could only be served by hand-outs marred with leakages, but not by raising potential of such people for jobs, has little basis as an argument as they have tried out for a decent period. Their concern about how much the current regime is 'successful or sincere' in raising the potential of minorities or downtrodden for such jobs can be their only chance to stay put. And that the leaders in government seem to be clearly giving them room or space on this count is clearly evident. Excessive promise and under-delivery by the "Leaders" in power is clearly a recipe for failure, not only in medium term but also in the long term.
The leaders, especially the state functionaries who understand this are trying hard to stay away from limelight, already. While the attempts to induce competition amongst states to have better or more facilities to attract "commercial enterprises especially manufacturing units" may be ok, however there seem to be a dearth of plan to grow social sector opportunities like attracting better schools, hospitals, sanitation etc. and politicians here coolly follow the "Free" bandwagon with no actual deliveries and lots of wastage/leakages. Growth of services sector and employment thereunder may also be a key concern since we lack in domestic services as well despite of our strength in developing and exporting systems for such sectors to the developed world.
Little is forthcoming from state governments and leaders about developing languages, literature, culture, culinary sector, tourism etc. except for noises since people involved with the sector are unable to see anything new. This is where people may be looking for newer Political avatars to chip in with their ideas as well as performance, the criticism of their rival political parties notwithstanding. Of course commitments to fix problems at home by such politicians should come first.
