Indian political scenario is getting warmer due to upcoming
Delhi elections. Last week’s major media activities were revolved around Kiran
Bedi’s entry into BJP, and the speculation of her possible candidature for CM
post. I am glad, that Kiran Bedi joined politics, and her excellent track
record generates hope that she may bring some positive change into politics as well. Frankly, I am
not surprised at her decision, given her public comments over last two years.
Every Individual has the constitutional right to choose a political party of
her choice, however, there are questions being raised of some U-turns see took
and the time she had chosen to join into politics. It looks to be
opportunistic. However, she will have enough time to dispel these speculations
or perceptions, and proving her critics wrong.
I read an Article long back by Ms. Bedi.
In her application to Civil service examination, she mentioned “mankind” as her
religion. That was a great stand she took at a young age. Given the saffron
agenda being carried out in recent days, I will be curious to see her
perspectives on such issues, and how can she bring that spirit and ethos to a
political party gradually getting side tracked to make India a Hindu Rastra. I wish Ms Bedi, a great
political career ahead, and keep inspiring the new age India towards a better
tomorrow with her actions and virtue in her new career.
I wish, entries of such personalities improve our current political
system, ridden with caste, religion, regionalism and favoritism. Let the visions,
skills, actions and leadership qualities of the leader be judged before voting
rather their caste or social position.
