The shameless MLAs of AP who betray the voters for selfish motives

'Operation Akarsh' is a common word frequently heard in the Telugu speaking states of Telengana and Andhra Pradesh these days. (It is very much in practice in other states also may be in some different name.) Operation Akarsh is not any new initiative launched by these governments for the welfare of the people or the betterment of the state. It is a dirty game by the ruling parties in these states to attract the Members of Legislative Assembly (MLAs) belonging to the other parties particularly the Opposition Parties who neither have any principles or any shame by offering them some money, positions and a lot special favours including cancellation of any pending cases etc. 

The main purpose of these parties ruling the states is to weaken the opposition parties who always question the wrong-doings of the governments or oppose any move of the governments that may affect the people. Even though the cunning agents of these ruling parties approach most of the MLAs of other parties with irresistible offers such as ministerial berths or other top posts and other perks, many leaders with some principles and policies do not give their ears to these offers which are like bones but show some loyalty to the party which they represent and to the people who voted for them and elected them as MLAs knowing giving some credit to the political party to which they represent.

In an election the voters elect a person as their MLA or MP taking into consideration two things. They are the Political party which they represent and the person who is contesting. So after winning an Assembly or Parliament constituency as an official candidate of a particular party, and later switching allegiances to another party for personal gains is greatly dishonourable and disgraceful. If a member of any legislative assembly or parliament cannot cope-up with the policies of the party, they should tender their resignation and face fresh mandate of the people. If they continue as MLAs in the new party, the Speaker of the House should show courage to disqualify them under anti-defection law. 

But as the speakers of our Assemblies are also loyal members of the ruling parties and if they fail to appease the party leaders who are Chief Ministers in these states, they know that their posts will disappear overnight and some other person may occupy it. Hence the poor voters who gave power to these cheaters cannot expect any justice there also. But if not all, the senseful voters will surely hate these leaders who do not have back bone and can be easily lured with money, power or positions. 

The governments in these or any states should concentrate on how to develop the state and improve the lives of the people instead of planning and playing dirty games of luring other leaders to damage the voice of the opposition. By engaging in cheap and substandard tactics like this they are mocking the very system of democracy and fooling the people who appointed them to rule in their place and on their behalf.

Hence those MLAs or MPs who got elected to any state legislature Assemblies or parliament on the ticket and label of one party and wish to change allegiance to some other parties are asked to show minimum courtesy of tendering resignation to their elected post and face fresh polls before continuing in the new party with the new post given as alms or blood money given for betraying own people. Let the foolish voters who elected you to power bear the expenses of the election once again as a punishment for believing your false promises and casting their precious votes for deceivers like you...!

Modi Offers 1.65 Lakh Crores for Bihar. No Special Status for A.P..!

The voters in India are often compared to donkeys. Because they can be easily fooled any number of times by the fall promises of the cunning political parties and contestants whose only aim is to remain in power by hook or crook. after the announcement of the election notification, until the election dates these cheats travel (mostly on foot) the length and breadth of his/her constituency with a 70mm smile and deliver attractive poll speeches with a long list of promises. Some of these rogues are seen visiting the huts of the poor and marginalized people and pose for photos and videos as if assisting on their works. Once these frauds secure a victory in the polls, they are never seen again anywhere in the locality for another five years until the schedule of the next elections are announced.

Before the general elections in 2014, the people of new Andhra Pradesh state who were suffering due to the state bifurcation, witnessed some political parties and leaders. The present BJP prime minister Narendra Modi and the TDP chief minister N Chandra Babu Naidu who formed an alliance 9in the last minute) to face the elections vowed repeatedly several times that they will see that A.P state be granted 'special status' at least for a period of 10 years, if they are elected to power.

Now the people gave them a clear verdict believing their poll promises but they are not seen bothered about the concern of the people or welfare of the state as they are confident that their position is solid for a term of five years.

The announcement of Prime minister Modi and his BJP government at the center today, promising a whopping special package of one crore sixty five lakh crores rupees (Rs. 1,65,000,0000000) to Bihar State is clearly seen and opined by the political analyzers as an election stunt by prime minister Modi who wants to pave way to is party's success in the upcoming Bihar state elections somehow. People also feel that such pre-poll promises are just an eyewash that may not be and need not be fulfilled.

This announcement has made the people of Andhra Pradesh spellbound, who have been pleading the prime minister for special status (pratyeka hoda) for the state since 15 months. This decision of the Central government has greatly irked the people who consider it as an open challenge to the people of Andhra pradesh. People also have started to raise their voice against such anti-people activities of the parties and persons who won in the elections realizing the deceit in the pre-poll promises and started disbelieving the BJP and the Telugu Desam party. 

This move of the BJP government has strengthened the YSR Congress Party which has been spearheading the fight for 'Special status' to A P along with other parties like the Congress and the left parties. More and more leaders and patriotic people who love the state are joining the YSRCP in this campaign. Earlier popular Telugu film actor, social activist and Jana sena party chief Pawan Kalyan who had supported the BJP-TDP coalition during the elections has turned against both the parties and criticised severely the party MPs and leadership for their inability to strive for the state's special status.

Wise people and political experts who understand the fakeness in such promises warn the voters of India to be cautious against such cheatings and prove their prudence while exercising their franchise in the elections.
