The state is reeling under severe drought conditions with people suffering from drinking water and scarcity of fodder but the people whom they elected as their representatives have no time to listen to their woes as they are overbusy in their political games!

This is not for the first time that the state is witnessing such a wreckless situation as it was also the same pathetic plight during October 2009 when a Bharatiya Janata Party government was in office. Then BS Yeddyurappa was the chief minister and Gali Janardhan Reddy, Tourism minister in his cabinet.An ordinary head constable's son turned mining baron, G Janardhan Reddy had literally taken the BS Yeddyurappa led BJP government for a toss as he chose to fly to Hyderabad and Goa along with more than 40 ruling party MLAs' to rebel against the 'dictatorial attitude' of the chief minister.
Then most regions of the North Karnataka were marooned due to heavy rains and rapid floods thereby throwing the normal lives of people on crossroads. But for the ruling party legislators, attending to the distress of the common people was a matter of least priority as they were busy enjoying the fancy comforts in five-star hotels and resorts.Now it's almost a decade since such unsavoury trauma but no one wants to learn anything from the past. Dr DS Poornananda, Professor of Journalism and Mass Media in Kuvempu University, Shivamogga fondly recollects the following quote of Butrend Russel: What we learn from history is that we don't learn anything from history!
Although it's the second month of Monsoon almost all parts of the state are facing a deficit rainfall, drinking water and fodder scarcity problems apart from failure to sow anything. But such piquant plight of the ordinary people is not a big reason to worry for the people's representatives.
They are all terrifically engrossed in politicking with the lives of the people, who are battling for life and death, thanks to the onslaught of nature's fury forced upon them. 12 districts are experiencing acute rainfall while the deficit of rainfall for the month is projected to be 27 percent.
Netizens have taken the cause of the common people and have been airing their grouse against the politicians on social networking sites. Most of them have been found hurling abuses against the political class by such assertions: No one resigned when any bread earning farmer committed suicide due to debt traps. Nor did anyone because of the state witnessing a shortage of drinking water crisis...
They don't end there as some have commented: No one ever resigned demanding for permanent solace to the drinking water problem nor did any of them for their constituency being deprived of developmental funds...
SR Ramanujan, a Hyderabad based veteran septuagenarian journalist sadly comments: It's unfortunate that the state of Karnataka is again making headlines for all the wrong reasons. What's the problem of the speaker to accept the resignations when all the MLAs' have turned up in person and if not what's prevailing upon the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party in moving a no-confidence motion against the speaker which will be detrimental in deciding not only his inaction but also the fate of the state government.

There are two things our politician's (so called leaders of the state) don't fail to do some regular exercises:
ReplyDelete1. Enjoy lavish 5 star luxury
2. Visit powerful temples to save their chairs
A Period for this drama is impossible.
