The Political Thoughts and Public Policy

The Political Thoughts and Public Policy

By: Amit Bhushan Date: 1st Sept. 2014

Now the political reality of economic principles and their duplicity of the current ruling dispensation are beginning to show up. It takes the form of statements of turn around in the environment and hence 'no action' required going after those who may have led to the situation, from the bureaucracy. This is a reversal of stand of 'bring in' black money from 'Banks abroad' or strict anti-corruption stand besides not stating what government/party has actually contributed to change in economic turnaround besides sloganeerism. The turn around so far has been own efforts of people and the leaders had almost 'no role'. Work has been initiated on how many rural toilets, or defence sector investments and project like cleaning 'Ganga' is already under scrutiny.

Now, if government is committing not to go after the hordes of Black Money abroad or to bring corrupt to books, it is trying to protect 'its constituency'. That is to allow the 'same old supporters' to rule the roost who where earlier working with the old dispensation. This is because it was the very same people who contributed to the party's coffers under pretext that the rulers are soft on financial donors. Going after Higher Judiciary who was attempting to 'fix' some of the lacunae in the system is a case in point. I agree some of such cases could be out of political reasons alone; however what was required was to bring to books those who were left out due to political reasons again while depoliticizing such legal actions. Pursuing issues with old guard will offer opportunities to new players to get their act together but it doesn't suit the people in government, it seems. Or perhaps they want to be leaders of a cross-section only rather 'all' and the idea was ingrained from the beginning, itself.

It is for Political parties practicing alternatives to search internally and externally to explore motives and reasons. This would also give them ideas about the programs and policies which seem to be floundering lately, a bit. This action to pitch for SMEs will have also supported states like Bihar, Bengal or UP etc. which have not been successful with large investments from corporates and left out of turnaround in the their development, as could have resulted in improvement in job opportunities for the youth. But the leaders in such states are married to corruption rather than being alive to ordinary people or situations in 'market' and nursing ideas of winning the next round elections with new slogans.

Improving local government and services is essential for enhancing the quality of life for citizens and fostering sustainable development. One of the primary areas of focus should be the modernization of administrative processes to increase efficiency and reduce bureaucracy. By implementing digital solutions, such as online portals and mobile applications, local governments can streamline services like permit applications, utility bill payments, and appointment scheduling, making them more accessible and convenient for residents. Additionally, enhancing transparency and accountability through regular public updates, accessible data platforms, and feedback mechanisms can build trust between the government and the community. Public engagement is another critical component; local authorities should actively seek input from citizens through town hall meetings, surveys, and participatory budgeting processes to ensure that services are aligned with the needs and priorities of the community. Furthermore, investing in infrastructure, particularly in underserved areas, can address disparities and improve access to essential services such as healthcare, education, and transportation. Lastly, fostering a culture of continuous improvement through training and development programs for government employees can ensure that they are equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to deliver high-quality, responsive services. By taking these steps, local governments can not only enhance their operations but also significantly improve the well-being and satisfaction of their constituents.
