An interesting political movement India currently witnessing
is the consolidation of political parties to a particular group called Janata
Parivar. By the way, there is hardly any ideology which brings them together.
As often happens, the one fact which all of them have in common is the fear about
the rise of BJP and protecting their base.
I wonder how long the Parivar will stay together. It is
altogether different matter, whether Samajwadi Party (SP) – which hardly stands
for ‘Samaj’ except in name; Rashtriya Janata Dal – which hardly ever cared
about ‘Rashtriyata’; Janata Dal (United) – which showed some hope in the
beginning and then went on a path about which one have any idea; Janata Dal
(Secular) – which is more about a family and its affairs; Indian National
Lokdal (whose leaders are in Jail over Recruitment scam) etc. will come together
even for their own good.
What, leaders of these parties failed to understand is,
India changed. The country is no longer the one, where they could supress people
in the name of caste and religion. When Indians want their country to reach the
level of Korea, Singapore and Japan; there is hardly any place for their narrow
vision. More than coming together under a different a name, what they need to do
is an introspection. Be the agent of modern Indian and try to do something for
people.
