The fulfilled [ :( ] promises of politicians....

I had discussion with one of my friends that what law applies if any teacher denies to take coaching class of any college ? I didn't understood anything but they both were discussing were something about article 14 (right to education ) of constitution. If school is made then there are certain rules but private coaching classes do not follow any of such rules. According to the article of Indian express:

CM promises law to check coaching classes.
http://www.expressindia.com/ie/daily/20000609/ina09031.html

The article is of date June 9,2000. It was done after the Chate controversy.

But the point here is not of Chate controversy or what so ever. Today the private coaching classes are spreading and they are charging the ransom amount they want. The professors of government colleges are working in private coaching classes.

The above stated article is of June 2008, DNA INDIA. According to these article, HC (Bombay)  had given government four weeks time to frame regulation for private coaching classes.

I had a personal experience too. When I was in HSC, I had admitted myself to a well known private coaching classes of my city. One teacher used to teach us chemistry and simultaneously he used to work in a college also (he is well known author in chemistry).I didn't know that he worked in government college. It came to my knowledge when a complaint was lodged against him by some other rival coaching class (where also a government college professor worked).

Once he took a day leave, and when I asked in detail than it came to my knowledge that he was already aware that inspection was going to come in private coaching class to check. It was the way when the officials came and they didn't found him. Here was a corrupt political setup which is infact very small but very interesting also. This is just one example but there are lot of professors like this.

Here is another article of July 2009 by INDIA TIMES:

There has been always regulation and decision of government but the thing is that it is never working properly.  The article I showed was of 2000,2008 and 2009 but there is no regulation regarding private coaching classes. Here is how the system works...!

These are the promises fulfilled by politicians...! [ : ( ]

Is this a sustainable solution?

Friends!

Topic of our blog is 'The politics of India' but I am not well versed with Indian politics and not also with any type of politics. Whenever we talk about the politics then generally people try to avoid to talk about it well and also sometimes it happens that we have a picture of a person who is always ready to increase our problems and drive away our money with him. We may usually found in thing that they must have relations with the gangsters also (as shown in Indian films as my friend tells me that I am a bad movie watcher).

Our Indian politics is obsessed with bad politics and bad politicians. In other words, politics is just dirty gutter and most of us don't want to get involve in that. But just like the real gutter; if it is not cleaned properly then it will stink your house. Somebody has to clean it or there has to be some representative on our behalf.

Whenever scam takes place then opposition starts to demand resignation from the ruling party but resignation is not part of solution. If there is scam of Adarsh society then it was solution by government that Adarsh building will be demolished. Adarsh also has enviornmental issues and if it is demolished then there would be loss of governmental money which was used in its establishment.

 Another part is that RR Patil is giving security to the ministers who left Shiv Sena and joined NCP but at the same time he is refusing to give security to RTI activist Asim Sarode. Sometimes I imagine that everything is happening infront of us and we are just seating and not acting. They are the same representatives which we have elected through voting. Are Indian people dumb?

THE UNADDRESSED ISSUE: CONGRESS’S PLENARY MEET

The Indian National Congress Party recently organized its 83rd Plenary Meet to mark the 125th anniversary of its existence. As a responsible political party of India, it came with a lot of paraphernalia which would help it contain corruption at all levels. The well compiled 5 point agenda was a good one. It talked about probity on the part of ministers, careful exercise of discretionary powers, protection to whistle blowers, competitive system for exploiting natural resources and fast-tracking corruption cases against public servants, including politicians. The BJP was quick to bemoan the absence of JPC probe in the list but fell flat on supporting the cause of curbing discretionary power of CMs and ministers, even when the lack of same was haunting BJP’s Government in Karnataka.

Apart from this, one more issue required some attention in the agenda, and that is No Self Contradiction or having a clear policy, in other words. Jaganmohan Reddy’s Odarpu Yatra post the untimely death of his father and Andhra Pradesh’s Chief Minister, YS Rajshekhara Reddy, to meet the family of the people who committed suicides in the wake of this unfortunate incident was seen by Congress as a threat to the stability of its Government in Andhra Pradesh. The Party took it this as his move to gain Chief Minister’s Portfolio and thus asked him to stop it and condemned it severely. Now, I am not aware about Jagan’s motives and Congress’s plan. But when Congress can create a congenial atmosphere for Rahul Gandhi’s uprise which finally culminates on his becoming the Prime Minister of India subjected to the UPA’s getting of the popular mandate in next elections, then why stop Jagan from claiming his father’s legacy.

I am nowhere saying that Jagan should be put at the helm of affairs of Andhra Pradesh but then atleast Congress doesnt has a right to oppose this because this will be in contravention of its own stance. The shrewdness involved in appointing the appropriate candidate for these constitutional post is already pestered and should not be burdened with the dynastic politics. Let us hope that this issue is also adressed somewhere down the line and the rhetorical 5 point agenda transpires into concrete action.
