Today Mr. Arvind Kejriwal took oath as the youngest CM of city state Delhi along with his 6 colleagues, thus forming first non-Congress and non-BJP, and first govt. of "AAM ADAMI", as termed by Mr. Kejriwal. Formation of AAP govt. in Delhi has been closely followed, debated and discussed not only in media, but in general public also. There is no doubt that AAP and Kejriwal have given rise to a new hope to common men that he/she also has a place in the political system of this country, he/she can also be the agent of change, and we can expect for a clean and good administration. But, this is to be noted that AAP has formed this govt. with outside support of Congress. This situation gives rise to certain questions. It can be asked - What kind of politics it is:  opportunistic or practical? साध्य के साथ साथ साधन का भी पवित्र होना जरूरी होता है शायद, लेकिन राजनीति में सब जायज है| I know that they have all reasons t o justify their decision - but any pact or coordinat...

This is election year. For 2014, stakes are at their highest point. Every politician and political party will do anything, will go to any extent to be able to raise the toast of power. Both sides, in-power and in-opposition, are leaving no-stone-unturned in their quest to outsmart each other and turn the tide in their favor. It is often said, we are a mature democracy now and elections are issue-based exercise now. So will be the case with next election. One may think, gone are the days of polarization, casteism, communalism etc. and next election will be fought on the basis of bad governance of current government, inflation, corruption, national security, worst situation of economy etc. But, it is wrong. Corruption was never going to be the core issue for Congress and BJP both. It runs in their veins and put them in uncomfortable position, when questions are asked. Same is with other issues also. So, what to do? Best thing for any politician or political party is to distract and dis...

एक वो दौर था - "गुमी हुई आज़ादी की कीमत सबने पहचानी थी, दूर फिरंगी को करने की सबने मन में ठानी थी, बूढ़े भारत में फिर से आई नई जवानी थी, चमक उठी सन सत्तावन में वो तलवार पुरानी थी, खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वो तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी|" एक ये दौर है - "जनता के पैसे की कीमत सब नेताओ ने पहचानी है, जम कर घोटाले करने की सबने मन में ठानी है, बूढ़े नेताओ में जागा ये कैसा लालच है, और देखो, चमक उठी सन बारह में यह महंगाई तूफानी है, जिससे लड़ रही जाबांज, यह भारत की जनता वही पुरानी है|"

Some poet has said:- "राजनीति की मंडी बड़ी नशीली है, यहाँ दीवानों ने मदिरा पी ली है| कमरबंद हैं पुख्ता सिर्फ दलालों के, आम आदमी की तो धोती ढीली है|" And whatever we are seeing, listening to these days about the morality of our overall democratic and ecomomic infrastructure, these above lines seem totally fit. Now, we can proudly say that corruption is in our blood and we breathe it and practice it with our full efficiency. In this very confusing environment, it is very hard to say who is speaking truth and stands like "Angad" on moral surface. It appears that morality of each & every individual in this country, whether he/she belongs to corporates, politicians, judiciary, army, b ureaucrats or a simple common man, is at stakes. There have been many instances of loose morality in recent times in every walk of life. It is now becoming clearer day-by-day that there is and has been a dirty and unholy nexus between some parts of politicians, b ureaucrats and...

Uttar Pradesh is the biggest state of India and has been the centre of Indian political stage for a long long time. After BJP got absolute majority state assembly in 1991, this state has seen many turmoils and been the victim of political instability all these times. There have been many uncompatible combinations among political parties to form the government in Lucknow, irrespective of their ideology, just based on oppertunism. And, this has affected the overall development of the state in every sector whether it is power or industry or any other sector. So, after a long time, when Mayavati's Bahujan Samaj Party got majority in 2007 assembly elections with the slogan "Sarvajan Hitay, Sarvajan Sukhay", the common thinking was that Mayavati will use this oppertunity for the development of the state and welfare of the common people. Now almost 3 years have passed of Mayavati's so called people-centric raj, but for the people, nothing has changed. Some glimpses of last 3...
