Some one once commented, "Politics is not bad but politicians are" Surely not all of them. You must admit that there are many good ones who despite being sidelined, continue to do their duty by their conscience.But then they do not make news. The screaming TV anchors cannot hold you spell bound with their vituperative and acerbic comments and rehearsed stunned /hurt looks, if the subject of their talk- show, is an honest and well meaning politician.
So when the recent confabulation and ready consensus emerged among all political parties on why they need to be out of the ambit of RTI or how charge sheeted politicians should continue to function in Parliament, it was unbelievably amusing. As amusing as a comedy show on stage . Well scripted,choreographed and enacted with panache.
Soon another bunch of comedians joined the play. These were senior functionaries of the Indian Olympic Association,(IOA) who having been shown the door by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for failing to cleanse the system accused of corruption, continued to face the camera with non nonchalance and completely oblivious of the humiliation and shame that they have brought upon the Nation. Distinguished sportsmen who have brought laurels to the Country, even appealed to them to professionalize the administration ,to stop treating sports bodies as perennial source of perks without accountability and to read the writing on the wall which said " Go home" In return they received a standard response on why should they break way from the law applicable to politicians. Charge sheets are not the benchmark but conviction is. Hence one can continue to discharge all duties as long as they are not convicted of the offence. Dejavu!
Not surprisingly most members of sports bodies and their heads are politicians of all shades.There is thus a bond between the two,i.e. Politics and Sports. The shamelessness stems from utter contempt for processes and institutions. Why should a country which is blessed with so much talent be governed by those accused of corruption, skulduggery,parochialism and sheer greed.? The same applies to sports bodies. Where are the good men and women who can professionalize and run complex institutions?
'Cleanse politics first and the rest will follow'. Nav Bharat believes in this motto. Candidates are being carefully selected based on merit. Institutions and party structures are being built brick by brick so that Good Governance results from it. Our candidates are the bed rock of the party and not viceversa. Join us in our endeavour to build a new India as fast as we can. Exercise your right to vote and ensure that a good.committed and capable candidate is not rejected due to money and muscle power.

Everyone say cleanse the politics but there are two problems-1. There is no viable alternative. The coalition is there to stay. Then one has to choose the best or shall I say the least of the evils. and 2. Realization is confined to intellectual lots only. The change can come only when there is awakening at grass root level. Not enough work is being done in this direction. Vote bank and voting based on caste creed and other consideration like money and liquor distributed to unemployed and misguided youth continues, in the mean time.
