Mr Anna Hazare is fasting. It is difficult to fight against corruption when the government is opposing a bill which will help people fight corruption. Way to go Mr Singh. And Kapil Sibal acts like Rakhi Sawant after being kissed by Mika when someone tells him that the politicians are corrupt. Wow. Perhaps thats what we can expect from someone who tried to defend the Government in 2G scam. Partly , we the people, are also responsible for corruption. Most people do not go vote. You cannot sit at home during elections and then complain about bad leaders. I have seen many of my friends skip voting and then complain about bad facilities. It simply will not help.
Now the Government is not ready for the Jan Lokpal bill. Why? You can guess it can't you? For someone who was reluctant to take action against Kalmadi, Raja and has still let Kasab live, this is hardly a surprise. Mr Singh is just a puppet in Italian hands. This has to be the weakest PM we have ever got. Yes Mr Gowda, even though you slept through almost all the meetings and play politics 25 hours a day, you were a better PM. As you can read, Lokpal bill is as good as Lokayukta under Yeddi. Its like a helpless old man. Just look at the table below. and tell me what sense does the Government draft make? No powers at al for Lokpal. Why even have it? Or you can have it with Sharad Pawar as chairman. Anyway its of no use, let him make some money at least. And the honourable Government is not in a hurry to fix this issue.
For those dummies who still do not know what the fuss is all about, Mr Hazare who is a war veteran who has transformed the village of Ralegan Siddhi into a model village. He is currently fighting for Jan Lokpal bill. jan Lokpal bill was started by India Against Coruption movement. For those who do not know what it is, here is the gist.
As soon as the news spread about the fast, all the celebrities woke up from their beauty sleep and put on make up and updated twitter. Apparently they are all totally supporting Mr Hazare in the fight. They do not miss a chance to promote themselves, do they? How many of these are genuine? How low can you go to score PR points? How many of them do actually know what the bill is for? Even for us, we cannot stop corruption by lighting a candle. People need to stop giving and taking bribes. Although the youth is progressing towards it, the slightly older generation is still the same. Sad part is most people do not care about what is happening. but refuse to admit. Many of you will oppose this and say we support, we fight etc. Its not true. There are more people supporting corruption than fighting it. And indifference is same as supporting corruption.
For once we can stop watching Roadies and reality TV and start working. But again, another major news. Finally the cricket world cup is over and people can get to the real cricket and fierce rivalries. The IPL will begin in couple of days. May be Mr Hazare picked a wrong time to fight. With two new teams. . Kochin Tuskers Kerala, previously known as IndiCommandos(giggle.. ) have the dynamic (giggle again... ) Sreesanth and Pune Warriors have Yuvi and Two of the best RCB batsmen, Robin and Manish. Dr Mallya played a gamble by retaining ony Kohli. It will be curious to see how local fans follow the team now. I, for one, will not be supporting RCB as fervently as I used to. IPL also has a new format now. Overall it looks interesting. Lets see how things go. (Yes. I, like billion others, am gullible to cricket. When the topic starts, I cannot stop). But even as a cricket fan, I really hope there are more people fighting for the cause than for the cup.
