India's Politics and Indian citizen
David Jojo *
When I think of India and her citizens including our elected MLAs and VIPs, there are very few serious persons thinking for the future of the entire Country. However, if our present MLAs and MPs rightly cast their votes at the 19th July, 2012 election of The President of India, there will be a ray of hope for the future of our country, India. If our existing MLAs and MPs cast their votes thinking India's future, they will cover up the mistakes of our politicians after our Independence from the British Raj.
India and her people thought that "Gandhi " is our father of the Nation, but our politicians especially Congress Party's rank and file, thought only Gandhi family can lead our nation, that attitude undermined India's politics. Because, the sudden death of Mrs. Indira Gandhi, politicians especially Congressmen, even though there are many senior leaders amongst themselves, thought P.M. should be from Gandhi Family and picked up Mrs. Indira's son Mr.Rajiv Gandhi as P.M., many were surprised by this action.
Again, Rajiv met a sudden death, his sons are still young to take up the reign, and non-Gandhi family became P.M. for short period of time. Mr. Gandhi's wife, a foreign origin, very much unwilling one, was asked to be P.M. India's political condition boiled and self-molestation started, thereby, Congressmen's opinion divided, a new political Party (NCP) was formed, but, NCP lid! into the hands of Mrs. Sonia Gandhi. Now, the NCP General Secretary, Shri PA Sangma who left NCP filed nomination for President of India that gives us new opinions.
1. Presidential candidates are Pranab and P.A. Sangma, UPA and Congress give Mrs. Sonia Gandhi power to select Presidential Candidate and she selected Finance Minister Pranab Mukherji (77) years old. Therefore, it seems not Pranab but Mrs. Sonia vs. Shri PA Sangma became the Indian Presidential Candidate.
2. If PA Sangma wins the race, the Rubber Stamp President idea will be removed from our minds.
3. Changes took place in Indian Politics when a Hindu leaned BJP support a Tribal Christian hailing from N.E. India.
When a brave politician became India President who looks for the future of the people of India, the rotten Indian politics transformation road will be opened and its deemed fit Mrs. Sonia and Shri Sangma who are in Indian political firmament to fight for the President of India.
Mrs. Sonia is Italian Christian and Mr. Sangma is Mongoloid Christian. Mrs. Sonia married to Rajiv Gandhi and she may be a Hindu. She did not want to join politics after her husband's death, but joined politics because of Congress Party's interest Why those who invited Mrs. Sonia who have the chances to become PM did not have the guts to offer PM?. The reason may be due to opposition parties political propaganda. The main reason is that those Congressmen also did not have faith in her. As such, it is shocking that people's elected MLAs and MPs thought India President should be from Congress Party.
Shri PA Sangma, Christian Mongoloid race he may be, a Garo community who occupied Meghalaya State even before British Colonialism, is an Indian original citizen. He wants India grassroots level development and for example, when he was Union Minister of Labour, he consulted the most backward Mizoram Handicraft Dept. and CM how to export MIZO CAP (Made of Bamboo) to foreign Countries.
One businessman from foreign country want one lakh samples of Mizo Cap, but only 18000 samples can be made in a speculated time. Therefore, PA Sangma could not help Mizoram. Shri. Lalthanhawla was Congress Party CWC member and CM during those days. That proved that there is little hope for laborers (Handicraftsmen) in Congress Party especially backward States like Mizoram.
Shri PA Sangma, when he was Lok Shaba Speaker stated that "When we have one or two VVIPs to follow, we formed National Political Parties and now, India is full of National Political Parties".
The above two things speak the upper most and the underdog Indians (1) There are 25% BPL family in India, and to develop them India needed handiwork Labour development. (2) The reason why there are many political parties in India is that there is no leader for both uppermost and underdog peoples of India.
The above two things may change millions of Indian. Therefore, such person like PA Sangma who have vision for India become Presidential Candidate this time, Indian people's representatives who are going to take decision must see every nook and corners of India and think worldwide situations and cast their valuable votes for him.
PA Sangma will be senior Cabinet Minister if he did not left Congress. May be he did not want India to be an errant country. May be he did not want to thee Mrs. Sonia in NCPCongress (UPA), he let his daughter to be an MP who become Union State Minister for Rural Development. His daughter also dared to lose her position because she campaigned for her father.
Therefore, those who are going to vote for India President this time on behalf of the people of India, if they do not have vision for today's India political atmospheres, both India's PM and President will be in the hands of one person like Mrs. Sonia Gandhi.
