Along with distributing doles and freebies to woo Indian voters, political parties are playing all destructive cards like caste, religion, minority etc. to strengthen their vote banks. The poor voter does not understand that the governing class is making a fool of him without sacrificing their own hidden agenda. The latest being the reservation quota for Muslims out of OBC and Maha Dalit out of Dalit quota. This needs a few basic questions to be answered.
- Why a delay of about 20 years perhaps because Muslim vote bank has got fragmented and all political parties want to increase their share .
- This is just a pittance. For Muslims it is just about 1 lakh jobs in total government jobs of 10 million (centre and states taken together).
- In a year it may be 3000 jobs for a population of 230 million or 100 million votes with 95% or more in group C & D. The creamy jobs will go to better placed executive/political class henchmen for the same reason for which upper classes of society have an advantage.
- The same applies to Maha Dalit quota out of Dalit quota. In their case the political necessity of carving out a new vote bank from within an already existing vote bank has arisen after about 60 years. All political parties of the country are guilty of manipulating vote banks through their henchmen belonging to these classes just on the basis of vote catching rhetoric rather than doing anything concrete.
Let the politicians not take us, the poor and helpless, for a ride. Let us force them to educate every one of us as per his/her ability for skilled, technical,scientific or managerial job and get empowered to be eligible for higher jobs rather than looking greedily to pittance of doles that are being talked about in return for precious vote which can make or mar any politician.
