Blame game, the favourite game of politicians

NO, I am not talking about cricket, football or hockey. These are the games meant for ordinary people. I am talking about extraordinary game that is played usually among politicians ie blame game. This is their all-time favourite game. The politicians leave no stone unturned in blaming their opponents.
Recently, Lal Krishna Advani, BJP’s prime ministerial candidate, at the party’s National Council meet said, “Politics is a slippery field. So whenever someone slips, people ask how we are a party with a difference. I still feel we are. The BJP is the only political group that is not run by an individual or a family.” On the other hand the Congress president Sonia Gandhi accused NDA of misguiding people in the name of Lord Ram and thus, according to her, the party is causing ‘grave damage’ by challenging India’s secularism.

Political parties in order to remain in limelight play this filthy game as a part of their political strategy. Politicians think that through this means they can hide their own faults and become ideal leaders for their voters, thus maintaining their reputation as well as not letting their supporters to slip out of their hands.

The Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati, celebrated her birthday on January 15 this year.

On her birthday, she declared some days should be observed on opposition leaders’ birthday. The days were ‘broker’s day’ or ‘dalal diwas’, ’slavery day’ or ’ghulami diwas’, ’dhokadhari diwas’ or ’cheating day’, etc. and she celebrated her birthday as ‘Arthik Sahayog Diwas’ or ‘Economic Upliftment Day’.

This timely ’blame game’ portrays that these leaders, who are holding very responsible jobs, only try to divert the mind of people from their past to someone else’s future. These are only some of the politicians who have successfully played this game. When the feeling to serve the nation and its people makes its home in our respectable leaders’ hearts, I can confidently say that this game will come to an end.

It may seem that we the people are crying for the moon but as true Indians we only want a responsible nation, not one which is misled by a number of political organisations, who work only for their own benefit.
