Lack of discussion on issues in Bihar Elections.

For long Congress party gave us great programmes to uplift masses from object poverty and usher in a Utopian society. While Utopian society exists only in dreams, even the basic needs of our people are still a distant dream for most of our people. It is not impossible for us to provide these minimum things for our people. Nations which were once poor did and can become rich and people can be lifted from poverty. But while we watch nations poor nations in the South East Asia, which long suffered under colonial rule, others like Japan, Germany, South Korea all of which left in ruin in terrible wars, now raise from ashes and command their rightful places in the world and their people live much more comfortable life, our people continue to suffer. The Congress party and its leadership is clearly failed in providing what they time and again promised.

It is not that we were poor all along in our history. On the contrary, we were the richest nation in the history of the world and along with China. We were, in fact, the biggest producers, exporters and wealth creators in the history. Yet today after all these years since founding of our republic we are still not taken its rightful place. The long back established ruling elite of Congress party and its cronies in Delhi and their present day ideological (and family) successors and surrogates are responsible in biggest failure in the history of the world of governance.  Yet there is no talk of accountability or responsibilities. True, they lost few elections from time to time. But even after their loss, they always manage to dodge the question of their failure to develop our nation. Even when they fail to get 10% of the total seats in Lok Sabha they do not acknowledge their failures and mistakes. One of the principles reason for that is the fear of questioning of course is the need to protect the principle family of the party. Even under the most humiliating defeat they cannot question or face the reality and left to defend the indefensible.  

The media and other opinion makers with a few exceptions always supported the Congress Family.  The staggering level of misinformation and suppression of information can be imagined by the fact that Congress leaders could slaughter thousands on the streets of Delhi in 1984 and it failed to generate even a single question to the then Prime Minister of that time under whose watch it took place. Not even once for 5 years while he ruled or till 1991 when he died. In any other nation after a national humiliation like war with China in 1962, the Prime Minister could have been sacked by this own party. Yet instead we hear pathetic excuses. Even now it is as if many of these things have not taken place at all.  The complicity of silence and shameless lies is not just limited to media  but extended to the called intellectual class. Even the Supreme Court, which for the last few decades became quite active, failed to take any action on the horrible evil deed done in Delhi in 1984.  

Now the same tragic game of deceit and suppression of trust and evasion of responsibility is being played out in the coming Bihar elections.  Media already following the lead of Sonia as it always does. While these are early days and election notice is yet to be received, we can be certain that this narrative is not going to change.  Congress, Lalu and Nitish in between ruled Bihar state most of the time. Still the have no achievements which they can highlight in this elections.

While Nitish Kumar wishes to claim the development plank, he cannot do overtly while fighting his long term allies BJP. Not while  Lalu is his ally. There is neither acknowledgement of jungle raj of Lalu and nor any promise not to repeat the past misdeeds. Of course, we hear all about DNA, Insult to Bihar etc from him, corporate looting of poor farmers etc from Sonia, secularism etc from Lalu. They all of course claim that Central Government shall give special status for Bihar.  There is not going to be any talk of malnutrition of Children in Bihar just like there was about children of Gujarat not so long back. Naturally we will hear lot of humor from Lalu. To copy a Sanskrit saying – rest will be filled with Secularism and caste politics.
