I was watching a Telugu movie 'Tagore' where in Puneet Issar casted as a police officer calls Telugu people as emotional fools. Then an emotional Prakash Raj answers him that Telugu people have never failed their leaders but the leaders have always let them down. This conversation is absolutely apt for the present situation that is existing in Andhra Pradesh.
Our political leaders are adept at making blatant promises which act as a catalyst in elections to get them into power. Even the present CM who declares himself as a economist had made so many promises during that period he even published a book to remember all of them(fun intended). A person who had earned respect by taking Hyderabad to the International level through his economics and strategy had done so many blunders he is unable to bear the mountain of promises he made to people of Andhra. Even he would have not predicted while making this empty promises that nor his opposition that debt waiver can land him in power. As soon as he landed in the seat he was desperate for the last ten years, he found out that this time his tenure will not be a piece of cake.
He is good economist that part is agreed but how a good economist can help our economy by asking people not to pay their debt starting immediately and as soon as he is in power he will waive all their debts amounting to more than one lakh crore. People took the bait with out thinking how a state which is starting with a deficit can waive their debts. I had the privilege to speak to some farmers who strongly believed that this will be done on the first day by our CM and i asked them how? They thought for a second and said he is very rich and he will clear our debts from his pocket. Poor farmer would have realised now that no leader pays from his pocket. Till the time we have people who are not smart enough to realise that its their money that is used, they will be fooled repeatedly.
Now who ever have believed in empty promises are realising the hard way that they have to pay the debts themselves added with a bonus of interest for the period that is lapsed and now have to forget insurance in the HudHud hit coastal areas for their crops. Who are to be blamed? How can we improve this situation? Do people really believe that any party can make their lives better? my answer is a big NO. Its people who are really responsible who can bring about a change, by not falling prey to false promises.
Can we entirely pin the blame on politicians as we all know through experience that they succeed to fool us in every elections. Are the public really innocent? No they too are cheating the politicians by taking money from all the parties who are contesting and voting for one party.
