The views which are expressed in the article below are my personal views.

Today, its necessary to talk regarding main frame politics. Many of my friends prefer not to talk regarding politics because some of them feel that politics is a stinking gutter and it will render them squalid. The policies of government, draconian regulations, irregularities in distribution of necessary funds for development, stepmotherly treatment to some states, religion, caste, race or some part of country and especially burgeoning scams in every way affect public.  India is a diverse and huge country with thousands of policies, different laws. Not necessarily every person is aware about it.

Recent, so called notifications and 'reforms' have boosted the morale of sensex and nifty but at the same time, the public is finding it hard to cope with high inflation rates. Moreover, so called 'investment favouring' finance minister P Chidambaram has indicated towards hike in oil rates and gradually ending subsidy by his today's concern regarding increasing subsidy. Arvind Kejriwal has been scraping out various scams which just remain declared and no judicial action is taken.

By raising all this concern, I just mean to request my friends to be concerned regarding raising problems and now if they get chance to vote then they should vote with their conscience not with fanaticism. Again I harp on the words that its time for us all to take gradual interest in politics and vote for a good candidate. Is this government justified in ruling us further?  I wait for your esteemed opinion.

The Sad Tale of "Son-in-Law" of the Nation

The recent exposes made by the Julian Assange of India, Mr. Arvind Kejriwal (though the comparison might not be fair as Mr. Kejriwal is not facing any humiliating trial) regarding the land deals of Robert Vadra were reacted upon by Congress as if it was an issue of national importance.

The allegation is that 3.5 acres of land purchased by Vadra at Shikohpur in Haryana @ Rs. 7.5 crore was sold to DLF @Rs.58 crore which is well above market rate. Mr. Ashok Khemka, an IAS officer after conducting his inquiry found that there was foul play involved. For this honourable work he has been dishonoured by transferring him to some other department (which can also be called demotion in crude terms).

Let us have a look at the defenses raised by the Congress. "We don't target the kin of politicians who are not in politics" says one of the senior leaders of Congress well known for his horribly novel thinking style.  I would like to ask this person if he is hinting at cartelization of politics or demanding legitimization of political quid pro quo or nepotism?

If it would have been the case of any other person, then probably Congress would have thought fit to initiate an inquiry. But not in this case, because Vadra is an honourable man and Kejriwal is yet to attain the status of Antony.

Towards the end I would just like to say that the system must not distinguish people on fallacious basis as it leads to erosion of popular faith on the government, which is the very edifice of a democracy.
