I WONDER…

Modicare – Medical Insurance for the common man, rolls out. In whatever form, it is indeed a beginning. No one thought about it over these past years when Politicians were busy amassing personal wealth and when a “commoner” who gained power did dare to think and act, we must stand up and applaud. And it should indeed be christened as “Modicare”. So many, and almost every thing of significance in this Country is named after the “G” family; I sometimes wonder whether we have been living in a democratic set up or being ruled by monarchy. And to think that the head of this family was so enthralled by everything “foreign” that he wanted a British Commander-in-Chief for the Indian Army way back in 1947. It was only when objected to by one of the Senior Officer, that Gen. Cariappa was named as the First C-in-C. And he was the best in the category of an Officer and a Gentleman.But then that is what we do best keep lamenting. Today we have the pitiable Scion of the Family literally rolling up his sleeves, rather gleefully at the prospect of taking over the reins. I am not personally aligned to any particular Political Party, but I speaking for myself want this change to continue. At least let us give the man his chance. For better or for worse, it cannot be any worse than what is to be dished out over the past 70 odd years, if RG comes in power. I sometimes wish that someone in INC has the gumption to stand up and take a call. If the Leadership is changed then I am sure that the INC will become more acceptable. In the plenary speech, RaGa expressed his wish and called for change in leadership. If he really meant then after due introspection he should announce his abdication…and the flowers will start blooming…but how can that be possible…
