Power, privilege and then disillusionment is what the officers-turned politicians proffer  

Samikhsya Bureau

From the entire process of the electioneering, so far, what comes out as the gist that, our politics does not fall under any moral jurisprudence as far allegiance to any person or organisation is concerned. Today’s morale can be tomorrow a malaise. The whole concept rests on a set of preferences only.

One who either leaves a party or makes an entry into politics, gets prone to walk down the memory lanes to suddenly discover the rots in the party or the system they had benefitted from for years or decades.

To make it straight, a galaxy of leaders who had quit the parent parties in the recent days have taken no time to discover the demons there and the ills that rule there. Which can be viewed as wisdom in hind sight that requires a real knack for double standard.

Now there is another group who either joined or were cajoled to join politics after retirement from the government job. Suddenly they come out with brutal arguments against the governments they served under, as if, they were suffocated in a kind of Russian purge in those years of enjoying power and privilege. Now they recall the horror of those days as nightmarish and dub it as dystopic.

Then how could they be there for so long, either it is in the state or at the centre when the common liverish feature all the political system are inflicted with. They could have quit the jobs to come to politics then only, leaving no space for pretensions.

Now in the limelight  there are are two such former officers who after a bloody good stint of power and privilege as IAS and IPS, heap abuses those do not square with the professed aim of ethical politics. Why not fighting the elections on issues of more relevant nature those concerns the common man than recalling your past spats with the system. Deeds are the best answers to injurious words and winning can be best revenge than trivial skulduggeries.

The ones who take a high moral ground by merely changing the garbs should not be in any illusion that people can not differentiate things, be it soft-spoken jeer or the worn out philosophy of getting inspired by any present politician.
