FREEDOM OF THOUGHT ,SPEECH  CURBED AND FOOLING THE COMMON MAN!
Corruption during the Congress regime had sunk to new lows, but the Karnataka 
elections have proved that the party with a difference can sink equally low. 
Only the Supreme Court could save democracy by post midnight hearings and 
mercifully they were able to! And now a big issue is made of the Arch Bishop of 
Delhi letter to his flock to pray for a cleaner political environment of love, 
peace and brotherhood in our country to come with a new government that will be 
elected in 2019 elections! It was futile explaining to the RSS ideologue on 
television that this was obviously not existing now and there is nothing anti 
national. The new government could be BJP, Congress or third front or any 
combination being elected. The BJP went to town saying religious leaders should 
stay out of politics never mind politicians visiting temples/religious leaders 
and even promoting them in government! It appears if there is any thinking or 
talk not in line with the party in power, it is anti national and beware? What 
hypocracy! There is such a lot of venom and hate, references to past wrongs of 
others justifying similar actions! How can people like Mayawati refuse to honor 
the Supreme Court long overdue directive to vacate their illegally occupied 
accomodation or Akilesh Yadav dare ask for 2 year extension as he cannot find 
any alternative accomodation! A scandalous junket to USA for the Ajgaonkars and 
Chief secretary too with chairman GTDC reportedly joinning in, all rules and 
guidelines flaunted. There is a Tourism Department and a separate Tourism 
Corporation! The common man is unfairly heavily taxed, fuel and prices of daily 
living items going out of his reach. No one consults him for anything. How much 
more poison will be injected into the body politics of democracy is anyone's 
guess. Politics of expediency to the fore, rule of law going for a toss, 
honesty, integrity, loyalty rare with loss of moral values and compassion for 
the common man. Self serving politicians. Parties lock up their candidates in 
five star resorts in fear and to prevent poaching, with no guarantee of cross 
voting till the last minute. Sorry state of Indian democracy indeed!
