Concentration of power is an evil in any democracy. That power feeds off on sycophancy. When the power is dynastic in nature, sycophancy is raised to the level of worship. We in India have been under dynastic rule for most of our free lives. It has done nothing but hurt us. Even a part time student of history knows that.
Congressmen brought back Sonia and Rahul just when it seemed they had broken the shackles of the dynastic rule to reunite the party. A tragedy of the highest order as it led to the most corrupt regimes in our history of which the two have no idea other than what the group of chamchas tells them. To them India is Gandhi family and Gandhi family is India.
Now all these minions owe their position to their proximity to the power center. The closer you are to the Gandhi family the more powerful you are. You get plum posts or ministries based on how you sing the paeans in their honor. People like Ahmad Patel or Ambika Soni or Oscar Fernandez are essentially ruling India by proxy because they are really really close to Madam.
All Indians despite of their party affiliations respect Sardar Patel. Man was a true patriot, visionary and the Iron Man India needed then and has since missed. This is what was said about his anniversary:
As coincidences go, Patel's birth anniversary falls the same day Indira Gandhi was assassinated. This year, the BJP noticed the indifference towards him, and asked why the government had issued just one ad in his honour, while dozens were issued to mark Indira Gandhi's death anniversary.
Congress workers from various states were taking out ads after ads (not from their pockets obviously) in honor of Indira Gandhi. The following was said about that in another article:
Moral of the story: You may be India’s greatest freedom-fighter, visionary or statesman, and you may be fondly remembered by the people across the land. But, if you do not belong to the Nehru-Gandhi Family, India’s Congress-run Government will not remember you. For how long will we allow the public exchequer to be milked for the political promotion of a single family and the icons of a single party?
If the chamchagiri was limited to taking out ads in the newspapers, we would still be OK. What is really bothersome is the sheer number of projects, monuments, landmarks and public property (bridges, airports etc.) have been named after Members of the Gandhi family. People from Congress have no locus standi when they criticize Mayawati on her penchant for parks and statues to honor herself. The intrepid Mr. A Suryaprakash has compiled these in a document and submitted to the CEC. The list is mind-boggling but you must go through it. What you will realize is that unless we vote the dynasty out, meritocracy would always yield to sycophancy and that is not the way India can progress.
The following is the list of Government Schemes and Projects; Universities and Educational Institutions; Ports and Airports; National Parks and Sanctuaries; Sports Tournaments, Trophies and Stadia; Hospitals and Medical Institutions; National Scientific and Research Institutions; University Chairs, Scholarships and Fellowships; Festivals; Roads and Buildings named after three member of the Nehru Gandhi family viz. Rajiv Gandhi, Indira Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, which has been submitted to the Election Commission by A.Surya Prakash as an Annexure to his complaint. This list includes most of the projects, schemes and institutions funded by the Union Government and the Governments in the States.
