While 2014 saw the rise of Narendra Modi
as a super PM of India, 2015 saw the rise of Arvind Kejriwal as super CM of
Delhi, the capital state of India. Now, both are in Delhi and the country has
very high expectations from both of them.
With powerful leadership at the helm of
affairs, the political scenario is going to be different than yesteryears – the
age of coalition government – when every decision had to be considered
carefully, considering the support of allies. Keeping them in good humour used
to be priority of the government, rather than the real business. Those days are
gone with stable government at the Centre and in Delhi.
It was good to hear from Kejriwal, when he
cautioned his MLAs, their family members and the AAP volunteers – not to be
arrogant! I think this one caution, if AAP keeps reminding itself throughout
its term, would help the government to achieve the goals it set for itself –
and on the basis of which it won confidence of Delhites and absolute majority
in the House. Similarly, at the Centre, Modi government too would need to take
every step to fulfil the dreams of the common man that gave its mandate for
overall growth and development of the nation. For both the leaders, the days of
showcasing their oratory skills are over. Both must now devote time and energy,
their organizational skills in translating their visions into reality. People
have given them their mandate, exhibited their confidence in them – now the PM
and the CM need to work tirelessly to fulfil their promises.
While Arvind Kejriwal is new to politics,
his bouncing back with 67 seats out of the possible 70 seats – after being
tagged as ‘Bhagoda’, proves that he has the capability and will to perform as a
leader. I sincerely hope and wish that his sincerity and anti-corruption stand
is practiced by all his MLAs – these qualities alone would do wonders for the
common man.
Everyone is aware of the performance of
Narendra Modi as CM of Gujarat. But, managing a State is different than
managing a country like India. Nevertheless, let’s hope and wish that he and
his team would leave no stone unturned in bringing prosperity in the lives of
ordinary Indians.
With onus of taking India and Delhi to a
higher level, with commitment to work for the people, I wish that Narendra Modi
and Arvind Kejriwal should work hand in hand at forums – that need constructive
contribution from both of them. If it happens, both would set example for
others to emulate, in the larger interest of the people.
All said, the greatest onus is on us – the
ordinary Indians. While the two leaders are working upon their ideas to
translate them into reality – they can’t be successful unless we support them.
We need to be sincere to our work, to our organizations, to our families, to
our society, to our state and to our nation.
We all want a corruption-free government,
garbage free surroundings, crime free society, pollution free environment, and what
not! But, let us ask ourselves – are we doing our duty? Onus is on us, let’s do
what we must. Let's not shy away from our responsibilities.
