The 'unchecked' rises in Politics
By: Amit Bhushan Date: 16th May 2015
In politics, perception is important or is equally importance as performance. Today's politics, where several journos and leaders have raised concerns of it being increasingly dominated by 'commercial mass media' and which also seems busy, coping up with social media (sharp) shooters, it is important for leaders to maintain perception backed by proofs which are not easily challengeable. Often the leaders miss the point while pursuing 'game' of politics. Also in politics, nobody is an untouchable, especially who has even a remote chance to mobilize people and votes. The unfolding events again point to political leaders taking a myopic view. What we have today as promoted by commercial mass media is people harping about the performance of the leadership in center as well as most states barring a few. Again we have a plethora of analysts of all hues i.e. including within the ruling dispensation as well as outside, challenging these reports and bringing forth their arguments about the lack of performance of the Ruling center, while some other at parties in large poll bound states. We also have a tangled newbie party and leadership still trying to come to grips with their destiny and consolidate their position.
What this leaves is scrutiny of performance of some non-poll bound states and the ruling dispensation's performance in those states. We also have a large state where ruling class at center as well as at state is competing to lay the share of non-performance on each other. The assumption under the circumstances is that people have limited choices and they need to choose one of the lesser devils presumed by them leaving aside the history of rule of state and presence of some other party and also the possibility of the rise of new parties in such a scenario. This is despite that the results of the polls in a neighboring small state has shown results to contrary where people seem to be ready to dump this kind of politics. Also in some other poll bound states, the 'rajneeti' seems to be one of claim about 'performance' or about 'efforts not being adequately supplemented by center irrespective of party lines'. In the absence of a comparative performance stats of states, such vacuum is likely to allow new political positioning with possibilities to throw some 'unprecedented' results as yesteryears politics seems to have been already rejected by masses and this fact will become increasingly clearer in ensuing state elections in not so well educated or advanced state.
Given the fact that last general elections have shown that the electorate is capable to shrug off some 'very stable vote banks of the underclass' to return zilch for some parties, it is imperative for the Netas to address some of the real issues or be prepared to be replaced by entirely new breed of Netas as has already happened in a state, which was merely a continuity of the general elections in which several old timers lost while new Netas gained grounds. The only difference being an entirely new party with an entirely new philosophy being experimented by public. In some other poll bound state, the status seems almost the same, i.e. the unchecked competing with newbie, with ruling dispensation or state as well as the center blaming each other for non-performance even without a break in mutual bonhomie. The publics have long become amenable to such show off or bonhomie or catfights shows of the Netas, only that the commercial mass media hasn't realized the fact and readiness to experiment should have rung a bell about it.
The Neta reaction is almost about containment rather than addressing issues with streamlining and simplification of processes and procedure including bringing forth a lid on the leakages. Then we also have Bills where Netas have taken ambiguous stands and tried fishing in troubled waters and this is turning out to be nemesis for some, however the 'fastbuck' Netas being in no mood to spare or to change tack while some other 'fastbucks' who may already have savoured the 'past' almost unrelenting to admit the 'follies' in spirit of a political renewal. We thus have no debates to find 'balance' or what should be the right balance rather 'extreme' and often confusing positions about a future which has not been seen by the present generation Netas for sure though they each is not giving up on pride about the superior 'ideology' of their own Neta, who may have already failed to deliver a 'win' as compared to predictability that comes from these articles about 'game' in Management Paradise. Resorting to mutual mud-slinging depicts little understanding of the issues about how the 'game' is evolving even as lack of understanding of the 'game' has already proven to be nemesis for at least some Netas' positions (in the near past), allowing new crop of Netas with new parties to rise. As it has already been said in these articles, the 'game' evolves...
