Nitish shunts honest Manoje Nath

It's been time that I wrote on my blog however that doesn't mean that I wasn't following the news but just that the work overpowered me for a while now. Hope you understand. It takes a lot to be & remain consistently in the coporate world spacially when recession is in & around you. Nothing surprised me more than this news & almost compelled to come back on my blog in protest.

I really like Nitish & his work in lot of spehres & I had almost made up my mind that I am going to vote him in the coming elections. He has done so much after he assumed power. People from all walks of life have really commended him & even showred praise in terms of awarding him with "Business man of the year".

Well, doesn't it looks like a story of a reformer? Pause, Not exactly!! He did the same thing what others like Lalu/Paswan did in terms of polarising votes by caste, most of the universities are still without professors, crime is still there (a little less though), honest officers like Manoje Nath & Abhyanand are still to find a respectable place for themselves in the cadre, corrupts like Swapan M are still roaming free, doctors went on strike leading to many patients getting killed (murdered), eating with criminals at Chapara, no significant industrialization within the state & the list goes on. Someone might argue that this list is still very small against what good has he brought to the state. I would agree too however only thing that undermines that theory is that although small these things mentioned above are important things. It indicates his level of engagement in executing things or getting it done with a high level of partisan.

He, to me, is like any other political leader but not really a public leader who thinks beyond. Instead of changing / trying to change the society for good, he too plays like the Lalus of the world to amass votes, he like any other shunts honest officers who in their own right have done tremendous good to the society, so what is the difference & why are we liking him?

Well, a million dollar question but pretty easy to answer. We are in a comparative mode right now. We are comparing his rule to the previous 15 years. That itself is such a reprive for the people of the state that nobody wants to question him. People still fear that if he is gone, we will go back to "Lantern age"...but effectively, if he is to be compared on a chief ministers scale/role, he isn't yet there, where he needs to be!!! Obviously, he is a seasoned politician & he knows how to play the game, atleast, with people's sentiments!!!
