Rise above politics, first strengthen the nation

In continuation of my earlier blog 'roots of corruption', I wish to appeal all parties to rise above politics and delineate the corruption issue from smooth and efficient governance of nation. It is a good sign that opposition parties are thinking of cooperating with ruling party for budget session.

Corruption is all pervasive. We are revealing that many leaders and administrators are alleged to be involved in corrupt practises tainted as corrupt on one or other account. No doubt, it should be rooted out and corrupt should be punished. But, there should not be sense of panic in the minds of administrators while taking initiatives, bold decisions and even risk if necessary to undertake development projects.

Laxity and delay in decisive actions merely to protect oneself, may prove to be detrimental for rapid growth of India. Being democratic country, India has high sustainability in the political turmoil and is not going to become unstable like other countries with military or authoratative rule.The only worry is the delay in progress, which is unacceptable, considering the urgency of reforms and development to meet the needs of large population.

In this world of high competition, it is possible that many countries may be happy with our slow progress. We should not forget that our internal fights and hurdles in project executions are going to help them. Many countries and international corporates want to expand their business in India. If we fail in our industrial growth, we may have to accept their entry to solve our problems. This is dangerous and would amount to slavery and dependency in other form

Hence, under no circumstances, our growth should get hampered by our internal blame game and actions to get political gains or publicity in media. Let the government clean the administration systematically with patience and taking care not to discourage honest and efficient administrators.

We are Indians first and should work together resolving all differences for the prosperity of India. We should remember the unity shown by Kauravas and Pandawas while fighting outside attact by following 'वयम्‌ पंचाधिकम्‌ शतम्‌ ।'
