At the Crossroads of Divisive Politics

How divisive we are yaar at politics? Having a multiparty system at the helm of affairs is good, but fighting at each other resulting in not-so fruitful results is a worrisome trend in India. I always wondered when will we have a 2 party system or parties at regional level but efficient machineries in delivery of citizen services. Mr. Jahan Mohan Reddy has split up in Andhra Pradesh; in Tamil Nadu actors Mr. Sarath Kumar and Vijaya Kanth have found their own parties. If everybody goes off founding parties, are we partitioning our India with divisive ideologies and manifestos, of which many failed at the political boxes in delivery. Even, many these so-called luminaries are starting off their television channels, often biased views with no public intentions in mind. OMG, when this will change. Right from municipalities to state governments have been successively failing to deliver common services in basic areas -education, health care, public libraries and environment protection etc., In the light of above, if each leader dissent and founds a new party, when will we achieve the most ruminated topic in our politics "inclusive growth" at least before we die! Each political party goes to erect its flagpoles and hoisting its own flags, how many parties we have got, unnecessarily. This is just the height of indifferences we have that is the root cause, so to say! You know, we have been very good at pulling each others leg at the cost of not allowing to grow for a healthier tomorrow. Many people who are in the politics switch over the loyalties during their stints between major parties, what saddening is they dissent a found new party.
