People had been writing a lot about the new Government, tagging it with pejorative even before the former could celebrate its first monthly anniversary.
The shocker came when Mr Harsh Mander, head Centre for Equity Studies went about the communalism rant and that how only 31% votes had actually been polled in favour of Bhartiya Janta Party. That how, the majority had rejected the communal forces (I actually smell of the "khisiyani billi" adage here).
I personally feel that being at the helm of such a democratic and socialist organisation, Mr Mander should actually have expressed his personal views sensibly.
Anyway, it is his perspective which defies logic for me since it comes without any data to consolidate it.
Plus, going on incriminating a person for issues that he has already been given a clean chit for by the apex court is nothing but a mockery of the judiciary.
Next comes, the Smriti Irani case and the debate over qualifications. Here, I firmly believe that a degree is just a requirement and not a necessity for being a good administrator.
We have seen how an IRS officer who happened to be an IIT alumnus failed infront of someone with a humble qualification.
At one place we censure Markanday Katju for his remark that their should be a basic qualification for being a journalist and on the other hand we actually support the degree logic for a leader. This hypocriscy needs to end.
There is something that we all need to understand that a degree may broaden your mind but it does not guarantee it and neither does the lack of it defines a fool.
I really appreciate the incumbent Government for the way they have chosen not to react to these cries and have instead focussed on their work and have come up with an action plan.
The point is, there is no need to create unnecessary hue and cry about trivial issues. Let us wait for 5years and mark the report card at the end.
The parting words : We have given 10 big years to a government which has failed us repeatedly, we can gamble on 5 this time.
