TRUTH ULTIMATELY SURFACES

                                

On our great institutions including the Parliament, the Sanskrit mantra, ‘satyamev jayate’ is boldly written and displayed. While defining this famous sermon, volumes have been written which sometimes confuse the common man. I venture to explain that it simply means, you may hide the truth but ultimately it is bound to surface despite the length of involved time . This gospel truth is well visible in the present Indian polity.

It is a fact that Narendra Modi alone swayed the Indian electorate at the hustings in 2014 and after a long gap, the country got rid of the bitter experiences of coalition governments. His poll eve assurances impressed the voters so much that they mercilessly shortened the height of Congress, RJD, JD/U, BSP etc. These crestfallen political outfits adopted a one-point programme since he took oath to fulfil those expectations including return of black money in foreign banks. The pressure was so high that in their view, the entire hawala money was in Modi’s pocket and he was not distributing it among the public.

Despite this damaging campaign, two opposite winds kept on blowing in last 18 months. Firstly, the NDA govt. lost no time to embark on very common projects touching the last man in the queue. The projects pertained to LIC policy for all at govt cost, all subsidies directly to the bank accounts of the beneficiaries, ‘beti bachao, beti padhao, massive rural electrification and road communication. The benefits are directly reaching the concerned and the dirty middlemen, who minted money, to their dismay, found the heyday blowing in the wind. Futuristic bold steps in defence, foreign trade, foreign policy, education, industrialization, ‘make in India, Startups etc. after the required gestation period, have started fructifying. As a result, the people so far rearing high expectations, have started getting the feeling that the ‘achchhe din’ are round the corner.

Secondly, the money launderers are getting the noose tighter round their neck. The smart ‘jamai babu’, an expert of land deals, is in dock in Haryana. Those involved in scams including Coalgate, are foreseeing the writing on the wall via judiciary. Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Motilal Vohra, and a couple of others have been caught for fleecing National Herald property in Delhi, Lucknow, Mumbai and Panchkula (Haryana). Courts have taken notice, courtesy Dr. Subramanian Swamy and they being on a slippery wicket, are shaky to defend themselves. On the other hand P. Chidambaram, via his son Karti is also in a deep soup.

Thus, by now, both truth and untruth with regard to Indian politicians have started coming on surface. While the positive works of the NDA govt. is becoming evident everyday, its critic are taking an unceremonious nosedive.
