Your Present is Your Past and Future (तू आज का मालिक है )

तू आज का मालिक है ...
--------------------------------
आज की हीं ज़िन्दगी है, कल क्या होगा किसको पता ?
आज में जो तू जिया तो, कल का सूरज तेरा हुआ।

बीते कल की बात छोड़ो, हाथ मलके न कुछ होगा
आज की तारीख तेरी, इसमें तू कुछ कर के बता।

मान ले तू बात मेरी, आज यही बस कल होगा
कल कभी भी आज न हो, आज में जो तू बैठा।

दुनिया उनके पैर पकड़े, आज में जो हैं जीते
आज को पहचाने न जो, ठोकरों को वो पीते।

आज में तकदीर तेरी, आज हीं तस्वीर है
हर एक कल का तू है मालिक, आज गर तू धीर है ।

Dhritrashtra & Duryodhan in Indian Parliament and Life

After the 15th General Elections in India and Congress attaining the so-called mandate to rule India again, there are a few things worth noting. I will take up such "worth noting" things one-by-one in each blog. The most amazing of all such issues is the existence of "Dhritrashtra Syndrome". If you have watched "Mahabharata" on TV during your childhood days (or you could watch it now on youtube for free), you would realize that Dhritrashtra did not do any good to Hastinapur by always supporting his son Duryodhana. It's the same situation being repeated again and again in current Indian political & social scene. Rahul Gandhi's so called young team has most of the team members belonging to one or the other pre-historic political families. They have been learning corruption, betrayal, bad-administration and being idle & non-functional from their beloved socialistic/Shwabhimani dads/moms right since they were kids. I tried to dig through the list as to how many such seats are occupied in our parliament as of today.

Sounds like there are more than 100 seats (out of 543) occupied by such Duryodhanas who will be carrying the legacy of corrupt politics into the new era. They will try their best (and succeed!) in clogging the working of Lok Shabha almost every day. They won't ask a question on the status of the development of their constituency during the question hour. They will stay home or will be touring in some foreign country or Kerala/Hill stations 80% of their time when they will actually be needed in their constituencies. They will keep appearing in newspapers for all wrong reasons. They will continue to use public money and services without ever caring to serve the nation. They will continue to raise their kids so that they can take the legacy of corruption forward when they get to the age of 80 years or so (in some cases more than 89 years!). They will make every effort to divide us on the basis of language, caste or religion. If everything else will fail, they will try to raise the Indian national flag and beat up some foreigner or will criticize US or China. They will try to impress the Indian youth by cheating some foreign degrees from foreign universities which they never attended. They will kill every such reporter who brings such truths in a national Daily. They will prosper and get your sympathy votes by writing into their supportive newspapers like TOI or HT or any such regional newspaper which work as their mouthpiece.
In this election itself there were approx. 40 such young and dynamic politicians were added to the pre-existing list. I have tried to collect this data only for those who could successfully fool their constituencies into electing them for not developing their constituencies for at least the next five years. Here are some of the young blood from this 15th great General Election that the World watched in the World's Greatest Democracy:

MAHARASHTRA

•Milind Deora (Cong), Mumbai South: The 33-year-old Boston educated son of outgoing petroleum minister Murli Deora retained his seat despite initial jitters that the BSP and SP candidates would divide his votes.

•Supriya Sule (NCP), Baramati: The daughter of NCP chief Sharad Pawar won from her father’s pocket borough with a thumping 3.36 lakh margin. She was elected to the Rajya Sabha in 2006.

•Priya Dutt (Cong), Mumbai North Central: Sunil Dutt’s daughter and the sitting MP trounced lawyer Mahesh Jethmalani of the BJP. Priya had been elected to the Lok Sabha in a by-election after her father’s death.

•Sanjay Dina Patil (NCP), Mumbai North East: The son of former MLA Dina Bama Patil shocked political pundits by defeating former BJP MP Kirit Somaiya. With a strong Gujarati and Maharashtrian pocket, the seat was considered unsafe for the Congress-NCP. A vote split by the MNS’s Shishir Shinde saw Patil through, with a thin margin of 2,933.

•Sameer Bhujbal (Cong), Nashik: The nephew of Deputy Chief Minister Chhagan Bhujbal won in Nashik by over 22,000 votes, thanks to a vote split induced by the MNS. Sameer, who manages Bhujbal’s network of educational institutions, is the third member of the family, after uncle Chhagan and cousin Pankaj, to contest polls.

•Bhaskarrao Patil Khatgaonkar (Cong), Nanded: The son-in-law of former chief minister Shankarrao Chavan and the brother-in-law of incumbent Chief Minister Ashok Chavan, he had lost the seat s last time. He grabbed the seat back by beating the BJP nominee by 74,614 votes.

•Mukul Wasnik (Congress), Ramtek: The son of former MP Balkrishna Wasnik and a former minister of state and AICC general secretary, Wasnik defeated Kripal Tumane from the Ramtek (reserved) seat in Vidarbha by 21,947 votes.

UTTARAKHAND

•Vijay Bahuguna (Cong), Tehri-Garhwal: The son of former UP CM Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna and brother of current UPCC chief Rita Bahuguna Joshi retained his seat by beating ace shooter Jaspal Rana. Vijay Bahuguna is also the first cousin of Chief Minister B C Khanduri. A former judge, he won the Tehri seat in a by-poll in 2007.

BIHAR

•Maheshwar HaZari (JD-U), Samastipur: The cousin of former Hajipur MP Ram Vilas Paswan defeated Paswan’s younger brother Ramchandra Paswan by more than one lakh votes. Hazari had quit the LJP after being denied a ticket.

•Ramesh Katti (BJP), Chikkodi: The Katti family who are Lingayats switched from the JD-S to the BJP following the May 2008 Assembly polls when the JD-S was almost wiped out. Ramesh’s brother Umesh, a former JD-S strongman from Belgaum and a minister in the Yeddyurappa government, was instrumental in getting him the BJP ticket. Ramesh won the seat with a margin of 5,000 votes.

•J Shantha (BJP), Bellary: The only woman candidate to be fielded by the BJP in Karnataka, the 37-year-old Shantha is the sister of B Sreeramulu, the BJP MLA from Bellary and Health Minister in the Yeddyurappa government.

•Shivakumar Udasi (BJP), Haveri: The 42-year-old son of C M Udasi, Minister for Public Works department in the state government was chosen to contest the seat at the insistence of his father, an influential Lingayat leader. Udasi won by 88,220 votes.

•B Y Raghavendra (BJP), Shimoga: The elder son of Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa appeared in the poll fray despite his father swearing that his sons would not be considered for tickets. The 36-year-old runs a couple of educational institutions and lives in Shimoga with his family. His biggest role in politics prior to the polls was managing his father’s Assembly constituency. He defeated veteran S Bangarappa by a margin of 51,118 votes.

•H D Kumaraswamy (JD-S), Bangalore Rural: The 50-year-old former CM and son of former PM H D Deve Gowda commands more mass appeal than his father on account of his politics of connecting to the common man. Kumaraswamy barely campaigned for himself but managed a victory margin of 1.3 lakh votes.

ANDHRA PRADESH

•Victory for Botcha family: When Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy allotted three Assembly tickets and ensured one MP ticket to the family of Housing Minister Botcha Satyanarayana, it raised several eyebrows in the Congress. Today, Satyanarayana is laughing at his detractors. Not only did he win from Chipurpalli Assembly constituency, his wife Jhansi Lakshmi won the newly created Vizianagaram Lok Sabha constituency. His brother Appalanarasiah won from Gajapartinagaram and nephew Appalanaidu won from Nellimarla Assembly seats.

After launching a 24-hour new channel recently, he is all set to start a cement company in Kadapa.

Another contender for a cabinet berth.
