Addition of Rafale and our Governance

It’s indeed a great move to add Rafale in Indian Airforce. No doubt this will be a big morale boost for Indian Army. Especially under the current circumstances when our country is going through rocky relationships with our neighboring countries.

It’s important to note that about a decade or less, India was not facing any challenges from our neighbours except Pakistan. But in the last 6 years, our relationship with all our neighbors has severely declined. Countries like Nepal, Srilanka, Bangladesh, Mynamar and even Bhutan have started dictating terms and raising unwanted issues.

No doubt after becoming Prime Minister, Mr. Modi toured almost the entire world and more than once visited our neighboring countries. However, we all remain in dark about the purpose of these world tours except perhaps brand building? Any yield of his visits would have definitely helped the country but what we are witnessing is the exact opposite. This is the direct result of the present governance poor handling of External Affair Ministry added by non focussed Defense, Finance, Health and Internal Security ministries.

Unfortunately,  on India-Maynamar border, Assam Rifles soldiers were attacked. Just few days ago Indian soldiers were attacked by Nepal police at the Border. This is in conjunction to the ongoing China issues we are facing and our permanent tussle with Pakistan.

I believe our country can take advantage and make a strong move with the addition of Rafale. However, this is only possible with a strong and focussed governance otherwise our country will continuously suffer and even Rafale can't do anything.

Rapdily Growing Corona Effect in Uttar Pradesh and Governance

Unfortunately the numbers of Covid infected patients are increasing exponentially in Lucknow. As per the latest news, it appears that the OPDs of most of the big hospitals like KGMU,Lucknow  are overflowing with patients and now this has created a sense of panic among the doctors and medical staff who are finding it very difficult to handle the situation.

 

I wonder if this is the situation in the capital (Lucknow), then what must be happening in satellite towns/ villages of Uttar Pradesh. It is very disturbing to see how things are continuously worsening in this state, and it appears that this is largely because of the non-focussed and callous attitude of the state government here.

 

In the last 4 month, the Uttar Pradesh state government has not only been unsuccessful in taking adequate measure and precautions to curb the spread of Covid but has only been spending majority of its time and energy in areas that are not the need of the hour like gearing up for laying of Ram Mandir foundation stone on 5^th August and getting ready for 2022 State Assembly Election. 

 

The governance of the state of Uttar Pradesh is totally paralysed in all the fronts - healthcare, law & order, security, employment rate/ opportunity. It appears that every other news that we hear about murders, kidnappings, theft, (fake)encounters, etc is from UP. Sadly two days back four senior police officials from Kanpur got suspended due to their  involvement in a case of murder and extortion.

 

Due to the above circumstances in UP, the responsibility of the central government is also under question (specially the Home and Health Ministry). It is very unfortunate to see how the central government is turning a blind eye to the situation in UP which needs Presidential rule immediately rather than  the BJP government is more interested and involved in destabilizing the elected government of  Rajasthan since past 10 days with the help of ED, IT agencies . 

 

It would be much better and appreciated if under this difficult time, the central government would focus its emergency to curb the spread of virus and guide the UP government to do so rather than getting involved in nonissues. Let´s hope for Wisdom.

Poor and Non Focussed Governance resulting in Increasing the Numbers of Corona Patients

Let me start by congratulating the Delhi Government – efforts of the Delhi govt (with the assistance of the Federal govt) have finally paid off, thereby decreasing the growth rate of Covid infection in the capital (from almost 4k per day to 1500 per day).

 

On the other hand, in some other states of our country like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Telangana etc, the Covid growth rate curve is becoming steeper with every passing day. I believe that this is largely because of the non-focussed and callous attitude of the state governments here. These local governments are more focussed on religious and political issues rather than looking at the big picture and taking measures to curb the spread of infection and putting in all their energy in improving the health service structure for safeguarding the citizens.

 

Unfortunately, the infection numbers are rapidly increasing in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Though the Bihar govt has imposed a 10-day lockdown finishing in a day or two to control the situation, the Uttar Pradesh govt has come up with only a complete weekend and certain districts limited police stations  lockdown policy and that in my opinion is not going to serve the purpose. What is more disturbing is that instead of devoting time and coming up with better policies to safeguard the citizens of Uttar Pradesh, the govt here is gearing itself for the construction of Ram Mandir from  5^th  August 2020 depending on the availability of our Prime minister for  laying the foundation by Silver stone, which itself an expensive affair under the present economic stress.

 

We have been continuously getting reports from different sources that the situation will worsen in the coming days and that the infection numbers will be majorly from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Despite all these alarms, the testing capacity in these states is very low and due to poor governance, non-aligned priorities and unorganized structure, nothing is being done to improve the situation.

All this makes me wonder that rather than interfering and wasting time in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh political matters and upcoming West Bengal , Bihar and Madhya Pradesh elections, why the federal government is not monitoring/interfering and guiding these state governments to control the situation. Is politics really more important than the lives and safety of millions of people?
