The Corona is a deadly virus which is spreading through human contacts which has posed biggest challenge for the survival of the mankind. Many developed countries who have one of the best Healthcare systems in the world, have suffered a lot and are in a very miserable condition.
The China who is blamed for Corona had controlled the Corona spread within a reasonable time and interestingly it was able to restrict the impact of pandemic to Hubai State especially in Wuhan City only. There were few straw cases else where. What was the magic ? The magic was the complete lock down of the identified area. Probably this is the major difference in the strategy of China, US and Italy. These countries suffered heavily because they did not follow the principle of Lock Down.
Prime Minister Modi taking clue from the China and also keeping in view the fact that there is no medicine or treatment is available, decided for national lock down after Janata curfew on 22nd March 2020 which was very successful.
I am not Modi Bhakta but I know that Modi is very rigorous in his homework and therefore he would have thought thousands time before deciding for a complete lockdown for 21days in a already stressed economy. As he has already mentioned, this was the only option to arrest the Corona spread. This is very courageous decision which president Trump could not take as he is giving priority to the economy. The economy is very important but we should be proud of the Prime Minister Modi gave preference to humanity over economics. This decision of complete lock down was taken in the larger interest of the country.
The whole idea of this lock down was to keep the people as is where is basis to isolate the people to restrict the Corona spread. However, in India different states are ruled by different parties and therefore, implementation becomes a big challenge all the time.
In the recent years the political narrowness and wasted interest have increased to a record low. Many people do not accept Modi as Prime Minister, notwithstanding the fact that he is democratically elected PM by record majority which was not given by the people to anyone during last 30 years. It happens many times that anti Modi activism lead to Anti National activism. Even in the national calamity situation like this, when no one is sure that he will survive, India cannot stand United. This also happened in the fight of India with Corona. Many States are handling the situation in their own way. Many political leaders see this difficult time as a political opportunity for them. Many people who were protesting for CAA, now started opposing Modi for handling the crisis.
In the light of a few incidents happened in the national capital, we will discuss the three states and the three chief ministers and How they handle the situation?
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal who got elected second time hardly two months back but he is still in election mode. While he is busy in his image building, he wants to do everything for Delhi people only. He is in national capital but with no national interest.
He wants to do everything by paying government money. He is now on TV ads in almost all the channels appreciating himself and his government, making very tall claims. His Ads are shown so frequently on the TV channels that people have fed up. As against this publicity, the country has seen that he compelled by hook or by crook all the laborers of U.P. and Bihar to leave the Delhi as early as possible in the mid of lock down. He arranged DTC buses for picking of these people from different parts of the Delhi and pooled them at U.P. Border. This is not inhuman, this is crime against humanity and cannot be justified by anyone means. Well, you can decide whether this was in national interest or against the national interest?
There is another Chief Minister in UP who is very low profile and never claim himself to be wise, experienced and political stalwarts. He is a saint and head of Goraksha Nath Peeth of Gorakhpur. He has no prior experience of being CM or even Minister either at Centre or State. After this Delhi episode, his remark was “ Dillee Bahut Chhote Dil kee Niklee (दिल्ली बहुत छोटे दिल की निकली )” He and the team of his Officers worked entire night and arranged buses to transport them to different places. Arrangements for their stay were made in Lucknow Haj House, Indira Gandhi Pratishthan, Shilp Gram and in many schools and colleges. But the number was so huge that ultimately many of them were sent to their homes. Among these migrants labors, many were from Bihar, who were also picked up and transported upto Bihar border.
When Nitish Kumar learnt this news his statement was that he will not allow these people to enter into Bihar. What is this? They are our citizens, residents of Bihar, if Bihar will treat them like this where will they go?
What ever is said about Yogi Aditya Nath, is a history but person is tested only in difficult times. and Yogi proved himself. This underlines the fact that politics without humanity is useless and is just like any business which, most of the politicians in the Country, are doing.
Probably Yogi Aditya Nath is the only Chief Minister in India who is working day and night in missionary zeal to fight with corona in the interest of the mankind. He has arranged transfer of money in the accounts of more than 27 lacs MANREGA laborers, pension to widows and old age persons in their accounts. All the temporary daily wage laborers are planned to give ex-gratia amount. UP Police who has history of being very notorious, is now distributing food and ration supply to the needy persons. Strict actions have been initiated against the top officials who are not doing their duty proactively.
There is another Chief Minister and political stalwart, Nitish Kumar, who is the Bihar chief minister for the 4th time and is the most experienced political person and often said as PM material. Once upon a time he was the face of prime ministerial candidate.
Many people would have seen on TV news that the migrant laborers returning from Mumbai and Kolkata who landed by trains at Patna and they were also transported to their destinations. They were dealt with very casually and the people were inside and on the roof of buses. When he got the news that laborers are transported by Yogi which includes many Bihari also, he made general statement that he will not allow any person to enter into Bihar.
These are few examples of difficult national situation but this gives food for thought to all of us.
- Is this the way of thinking, of Politicians?
- Is this the way of handling problems of the difficult situation?
The political person does not mean that he will not remain human at all. For any position anywhere be it politics, bureaucracy and judiciary , the first thing is that the person should be a human being. They need to have pain for the common man and for the mankind, and that is the basic requirement of the country.
But
- where are we going? and
- where we want to take this nation?
