WHAT NEXT TO ANNAJI?

WHAT NEXT TO ANNJI ?
Dr K Prabhakar Rao

The elected representatives in India whether they are elected to parliament or State assemblies do not want any accountability.Once they get elected after hood winking the voters with many promises, they turn Nelsons eyes to the peoples woes. Their first priority invariably would be make up the money they invested for elections and then amass wealth for future.The political process is vitiated highly in this nation and the present conflict with people is the result of years of misgoverning by the rulers.The situation is same at all levels whether we consider the local municipal bodies or parliament.Corruption has become a part of the daily life and is a routine matter in the present days.Gone are the days of MK Gandhi when he preached morals and to great extent practiced too.He was also after all a human being and also suffered some deficiencies that no one wants to highlight.The agitation of Annaji has become great irksome to the rulers. They are very badly caught on wrong foot. In fact they tried to convert into a law and order problem and partly succeeded with Ramdev Baba's fast. Anna took over where Baba left and the peoples reaction and participation was beyond expectation and govt got into jitters. In fact they know that their days are numbered.But they are taking shelter under the rights of parliament and superiority of the Parliament.They are scared that the agitation is anti democratic and dictatorial.To a great extent the agitation became successful in view of Annaji'ss credibility. After him there is none to lead such protests. Probably after MK Gandhi, This is the first time that people participated in such great numbers and world reacted in favor of Anna. The point of contention is that Annaji is already old and can not sustain these sufferings for long time. After him what will happen.Another important person of equal credibility is Bab Amte. He has different programmes and was silent during this struggle. Rest of the leaders who move around with Anna may have some credibility as honest men, but can not inspire the nation as Anna did.The political parties are wolves to grab something that comes across for their rise. Political parties can not lead such agitations as members of these parties are of doubtful nature and people have no confidence in them. They are seen as opportunists.There may be an isolated exceptions making no impact. Thus we see that the question would be what next after Anna?
