I admire Shashi Tharoor. He is a great Indian. He dreamed of becoming the UN secretary general. He is a great author. Bureaucrats can become politicians. But whether they become good or bad, it's their deal. Politics is a good game in India. Be it sport stars or silver screen stars, their ultimate aim is to enter politics. Because power is like opium, It's a good medicine to ones ego.
Indian National Congress is an aristocratic party. Their leaders consider themselves as aristocrats. Gandhi family, the party's feudal owners are the most aristocratic people in India. The prime minister of the party is a bureaucrat. UPA government is a combination of bureaucrats and aristocrats. In the cabinet union minister of state Shashi Tharoor is one of the high profile ministers. He has been termed as the twitter minister (with one lakh followers!). Recently he has been in the news for some wrong news. First one is for living in the hotel instead minister house. He made it clear that he is living at his expense and not using any penny of tax payers. This clearly defines that he is a minister who do not want to be with the common man, he wants to protect his aristocratic mentality. His staying in the hotel was against the party policy of cost cutting.
Now the latest hit by Tharoor came. He termed the congress president and AICC General secretary as holy cows and the common man as cattles. Since independence India was ruled by congress ministers. They were the office bearers for a major period post independence. Yet the common man in India are less privileged they are like cattle it's not their fault. It's the fault of the politicians. The government is responsible for this (particularly the congress party).
Don't blame us for our misfortunes. The common people have voted the UPA to power again. They are expecting so much from them. Congress says that they are with the common man, what about their ministers?. Tharoor may not know the problems of common man because he is not from them. He can call his leaders hollow cows. When he calls the common man cattle, naturally it bleeds. PM should take the issue seriously and warn the minister regarding this. If the UPA government wants to build it's image in a proper manner it should avoid nasty comments from it's ministers on common man
The common man is not cattle, they are the most valuable instruments in a democracy.
