Confidence Vote: Democracy is the loser

Another round of shame, another day of unabashed debauchery on part Indian MP's. From the very halls of Parliament house, place supposed to uphold our democracy and seat the people at very front of it, coverages of MP's waving money bundles given as bribes are splashed all across news channels and newspapers. One wonders how could MP's get them inside the Parliament House in the first place, considering such tight security measures. PM was not even allowed to make a speech, opposition refused to accept defeat as usual, issue of Nuclear Deal was hardly discussed, except at places in speeches of Omar Abdullah and Rahul Gandhi. All this session was about getting numbers in place, it was never about the deal or principles of parties. National interests and Democracy once again lost to party interests and politics.

Silver lining, though their sense of right and wrong may have deserted them,humour is still alive in our politicians as witnessed in speech of our very own Laloo Yadav. I simply adore this man. Has the guts to say what he wants to, the way he wants to and at the time he wants to. Do hell with opportunity, if there is something on his mind, its on mike the very next second. Just the thought of him humming in the Parliament House "Tum hame na chaho to koi baat nahin, tum kisi aur ko chahogi to mushkil hogi" amidst his speech, makes you smile. Throw in oft-used references to Mahabharat and Ramayana, shuddh hindi ka prayog, and you have got a real Indian. Hats-off to this man for giving us something to smile about on this day of national shame.
