"There are seven things that will
destroy us: Wealth without work; Pleasure without conscience; Knowledge without
character; Religion without sacrifice; Politics without principle; Science
without humanity; Business without ethics."
―Mahatma Gandhi
Currently the battle is going between
the chief ministers of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana State on cash-for-vote scam.
It seems there is no end for this issue. Is it essential to pay this much of attention
on this issue rather than on developmental issues?
Ever since Telangana movement started
by K. Chandrasekhar Rao, (KCR), there is a widening rift between him and N
Chandrababu Naidu. It appears more like
a personal battle between KCR and Naidu than between the Telugus (Telugus are
always one emotionally and linguistically). Unfortunately, they are instigating
Telugus of both States to settle their personal scores. The creation of Telangana
State is due the personal rift between KCR and Naidu. Now Telangana State is a
reality. Therefore, KCR must focus on development of Telangana State. Similarly,
Naidu must focus on the development of Andhra Pradesh. Almost one year has passed;
nothing concrete has come out in Andhra Pradesh.
It is rightly said that in the war of
politics it is the innocent people who get killed. Leaders always safeguard
their positions and their families. They also fill their private coffers. These
leaders hardly care for their people. They make lots of political promises to
come to power to fool people. If required, they instigate people to fight
against each other cultural and community basis. Both KCR and Naidu must behave like mature leaders
in public places. KCR must check his acerbic tongue and Naidu should stop his
double games. Both must know that people
are watching them closely. People gave them mandate to govern and develop their
respective states, and not to indulge in mudslinging.
The Telugu community is suffering
because of petty politics by these politicians for their political ends. It is
more of a personal battle than a professional battle without any ideologies. And
the governor is sandwiched between the devil and the deep sea.
Leaders must avoid petty politics and mudslinging
in public places. They must keep people’s interest above politics. In
democracy, people are Gods and they can throw away such politicians in next elections.
Politicians are permitted to make
political attacks. If they make personal attacks against other communities and
cultures, it brings down their images and people will team them lesson.
“Politics is the gentle art of getting
votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect
each from the other.” ―Oscar Ameringer
