you would have guessed what i mean to say. the current update is that a sitting MLA and minister has quit the congress because of being overlooked by a son of a president. President traditionally speaking has to remain above politics. Legend has it that Late President Rajendra Prasad has sent his family packing from New Delhi the day he assumed office. those were those days and these are days today
what is happening here is not new. Current leaders had been doing this from before-now only they have found a banner to promote thier family business - Youth Brigade. The youth is not going to liberate the system (as expected out of them), but rather enslave the system to thier whimps and fancies. since these leaders are not brought out from people they are elected due to loyalty to parties not loyalties to people.
this leads us to the quitessential question- why this promotion? Nietzche in his book- "Power to will" describes power as "buttress" to loose character..people hence want to cling on to the same. hence the need to keep this power in between the family. A good example is the change of administration at Rail Bhawan which stumbled skeleton out of cupboard.
as said earlier this is not new but the shameful display of this nepotism and the sheer audacity of terming it Young Politician is suprising. After all what have these youth leaders acheived. Young aspirant just becoming MP/ MLA's by virtue of being son/ daughter of sumone with no administrative experience is panicking. How will they run the country is situation befalls on them. this leaves such greenhorns to the mercy of old politicians who now rule by proxy hence defeating the cause.
we need young blood to flow through the clogged veins of power to rejuvenate new life not to cause bllod pressure !!
