Yudhakala

Writer’s block? No, not exactly. Half the things which I want to write, I am afraid to. The atmosphere is not conducive for that. And I am neither brave, nor famous to write something and still survive. You know what I mean.

And the other half, is really boring and is of no use to any one. 

In an unrelated topic,  timing is everything. Bringing out all your astra (weapons) at the time of war is very crucial. That is what Chanakyas of the world would do. Wouldn’t they?

Yudhakala reminds me. There were no suitcases back then, when our Santana Sanskriti started thousands of years ago. There weren’t. So all this “suitcase politics “ must have started much later.

May be 70 years of congress rule must have brought it. Like all the other evils it has brought. Bad party!

But there is still a way to stop this drama which happens again and again. Which sends the shivers to the rulers and make them spend sleepless nights.

There can be a legislation that a person who got elected on a particular party say B or C, should continue to stay in the same party. Until  the end of the term. If he is so much enamored by another party, then he should resign from his seat assembly/parliament before joining another party. Buddy, we voted you because if your party. So you leave the party, you leave the seat.

That way the MLA or MP will think twice before jumping party. No, not twice, many many many times.

Also once a party is elected to rule, it need not worry constantly to keep its people. It need not spend lakhs of rupees on resorts.

See, it is a win-win situation. And as Arnab puts it so precisely (in some other context) we need not hang our head in shame.

P.S. This post is not only because of situation in my home state. And I agree that all parties do their own suitcase politics.
