Delhites are smart

One must congratulate Delhites for their common sense and sticking to the same party for a consecutive third term. They have realised that India is a democracy only on paper but in reality it is still an autocracy. Just look at the way our leaders conduct themselves and it is obvious that they are no less than erstwhile kings. Unfortunately there are too many of them and including their family and friends it becomes a huge number. All our politicians are busy amassing as much wealth as they can. Given this mindset of our leaders it doesn't make sense to change the kings every five years. If you bring in new leaders to power then they will focus on making as much money as possible during their tenure. Kitne dinon ke pyase honge yaaron socho to! So better to stick to the ones who have already made enough and hopefully will do something for the country and its people. Moreover, frequent changes also create insecurity leading to desperation which means they will loot more than they would have done otherwise. Like Delhi every state should decide on one party/leader and elect them every time as there is hardly any difference amongst them from the perspective of performance or intention.

put our own house in order

Let us first put our house in order with determination and purpose rather than blaming Pakistan or ISI or the mafia. There are worse culprits amongst us and lot of them are known as leaders. Our own leaders can stoop to any level for their short-term personal gain. They can use their own passports to facilitate human trafficking, create communal riots, brazenly support the underworld dons. These leaders are more dangerous than any fidayeen as we are unaware of their true nature and in our simplicity believe that they will act in our best interest. Forget about the list of 21, if the govt. is sincere about attacking the root cause of most of our problems and terrorist attack is one of them then it will try to get the list of people who have stashed away crores of public money in Swiss banks. That will provide the names of 201 or may be 2001 most dreaded criminals. Unfortunately that will never be done as it will embarrass all political parties. These so called representatives of people come together whenever there is an upward revision of their salary or threat to their survival. If we are weak then any Tom, Dick or Harry will take advantage of it and that is expected. Let us first do something about what is neither expected nor desirable.
