Samaj ki Vaat Party

One of the newspapers was very apt in its headline “Samajvaat Party of India” – It is actually the “samaj ki vaat laganewali” party – literally translated to mean “destroyer of society” party. I am really not surprised at the mentally retarded election manifesto which has been brought out by Mulayam Singh Yadav for the Samajwadi Party. Computers will be banned as they take up the jobs of the poor so says this high IQ national leader. Who are the poor that he is talking about? The poor farmers who have been hood winked by usurious money lenders to part with their land and work as bonded laborers with rich landlords. Who are these rich landlords? Ask Mulayam, Laloo and Paswan – which category they belong to, and whether they have in their long careers helped to resolve this issue! If computers are taking the jobs of these poor – God help the country – because we are projecting a leadership agenda which is mentally bankrupt. No right thinking primary school student would make such a ludicrous statement!

What will banning computers do? Our ISRO program goes kaput, DRDO becomes an organization which would have to be dissolved, our satellite and missile program is stopped in its track, the military cannot use computers to analyze the voluminous data being “captured and heard” by the country’s security agencies, weather forecasting goes back to looking at the sky and predicting when and where it would rain and so on and so forth. With one fell stroke this party of the poor plans to make the entire nation poor – we do need equality you see – so why not have everybody poor – with poverty we have weakness and no propensity to defend the borders – we might as well handover the entire nation on a platter to Pakistan! As it is, Mulayam Singh some years ago allegedly wanted to give Rs. 1000 crores as aid to Pakistan! This is easier, we adopt policies so retrograde that Pakistan or any other nation with sinister designs on India just walks in and tramples all over us.

The other progressive item is banning of English schools! Even China is hell bent on educating its school going populace in English so that they can have a premier place in global commerce – here we have leaders who want Hindi as the language for education nationwide – and English schools shut down – wonder why the progeny of all these Samajwadi leaders have gone to the best of English schools in India and abroad? Hypocrisy should at least be practiced in a reasonable manner – here we have absolutely shameless hypocrites as leaders trying to get re-elected! Try enforcing Hindi signboards in Tamil Nadu and see where it will land these bunch of buffoons – in Tamil Nadu you cannot read a signboard unless you know Tamil or English! India is a diverse nation with as many languages as there are states – so why impose Hindi on everybody? Fine it is our national language – why are debates carried out in Parliament in English? English my dear friend is the global language of communication and of commerce! So either you keep up or step aside – and dear Mulayam Singhji the India of today is not willing to step aside – it would be better if you did – go to the Himalayas and introspect – maybe those hallowed heights may give you some fresh insight on how your manifesto should read if you want your party to get elected.

If at all these guys required points for their manifesto, they could have talked of energy security, food, water and shelter for all, improving the PDS so that aid reaches the target recipients instead of being gobbled up by middlemen, tackling corruption and black money – but this cannot be done as these leaders themselves are sitting on hoards of cash- Mayawati paying Rs. 57 crore advance tax – where did the money come from? – Mulayam facing a disproportionate assets case – these are the guys who have enriched themselves at the cost of the poor and now want to take retrograde steps to alleviate the condition of the poor, else make everyone poor!

With a manifesto as declared by the Samajwadi party, it is clear why the Hindi heartland states have remained as backward as they have, in spite of having some of the most intelligent people in the country! Why do people migrate from these states to more progressive states in search of jobs? Why have Mulayamji, Lalooji, Paswanji, Mayawatiji not been able to stop the exodus of people from these states going outside in search of jobs? It is simple really – it is easier to let people go elsewhere to earn a livelihood rather than take progressive steps to modernize and enrich your own state – it is easier to enrich oneself with money meant for the poor!

I personally think that the English press and visual media should give the Samajwadi Party a miss in all their media communication in English. Why has the Samajadi party website been made in English http://www.samajwadipartyindia.com/ ? Rammanohar Lohias statement “satyagraha without constructive work is like a sentence without a verb” is there on their web-site – I do not think Mulayamji has understood the meaning of the phrase, else he would not have announced such a backward election manifesto. This is as good as Talibanisation in the Indian context – with leaders like these we really do not need enemies! In the ensuing election – I hope the choice whom not to vote for is very clear – DO NOT VOTE FOR THE SAMAJWADI PARTY AND THEIR ALLIES – your vote could go for anyone else who you think will do a good job for the country! Jai Hind!
