Political Ideologies or Political Profitability

There is a convenient phrase among political circle that there is no permanent friendship or enemity in Politics. However, it is not easily digestible among common men in India who corelate politics with its prominent faces over pure ideology. Generally,  there are two faces of political coin which are inter dependent i.e. political ideology and face of political parties. In India, identity of political Parties have mostly identified by its prominent face who ironically hails from  an individual or family of particular individual. No party is untouched of this practice with hardly an exception. People see Congress in Gandhi Family, SP in Mulayam and his clan, BSP in Mayawati, Trinmul in Mamta Banerjee, AIDMK in Jailalita, DMK in Karunanidhi and his clan, RJD in Laloo Pd. Yadav, BJD in Patnayak , NCP in Sharad Pawar and his clan, LJP in Ram Vilas Paswan and his clan, TDP in Chandrababu Naidu etc. However, there are hardly exceptions like CPM-CPI, BJP etc which can be counted on fingertips where Party is not at command of one indivual or clan.
When a party is being run on command of one individual or his family, political ideologies of party left behind and be kept at the back foot. So, when people see these parties to break their political differences and embrace each other like inseperable siblings, they understand that political parties in India works on principle of political necessity than political ideologies.
In recent times alliance of RJD and JDU in Bihar seems not mere indication of political necessities of both parties but threat  of poitical crisis of both parties  due to recent out come of last lokabha election. This situation not only verify the same political phrase but goes a step ahead. In Bihar Nitish Kumar established JDU (Santa Party) to counter Lalu and came into power after ridiculing his regime as Jungle Raj and defeating him in Bihar but now conveniently forgets his bitter criticism against RJD but they are showing that they are inseparable and in hand and glove to counter BJP to protect suecularism. However, in Bihar this alliance which is termed as super-aliance is bit undigestable among very understanding public who have witnesed progress of Bihar during regim of RJD. At present people of Bihar have no excitment about this super-aliance rather have curiosity to know fate of this alliance.
Anyway whatever be the fate of this super-alliance , it once again established changabe ideologies of political parties by so called democratic head of politics parties which hardly getting affected by respect and faith in ideologies andvfinaly proved that there I no permanent enemity friendship in politics even at the cot of ideologies and political morality.

A fearsome threat and apprehension due to Koshi in Bihar

Bihar and its residents are once again under fearsome threat due to blockage of koshi river upside area of Nepal which resulted into formation of an artificial lake containing more han 30 lakh cussec water which is enough to create havoc in various parts of Bihar. Although this situation could not be completely forseen and avoided at this stage exept displacing people from their home to safe places and be ready to face post damage rescue and relief perations. here it is pertinent to mention that administration of last 50 years miserably failed to find any permanant solution of sorrow of Bihar i.e. Koshi...Nation has witnessed koshi flood in 2008 in Bihar but we took no lession and again at same stage where we have hardly much to do than to wait for flood and ready for worst . Koshi and its flood is not a recent phenomena in Bihar but it has always been worst dream for Bihar and the same was reported by BBC once admitting the highest probability of danger due to koshi to Bihar but even after four decades neither center nor state have been serious enough to  try and find a solution and even no serious doalog was initiated with Nepal in this regard. Although koshi is equally a problem for Nepal as well as Bihar.
Few years back Indian Prime Minister Mr. A.B. Bajpeyee came with wonderful plan to connect rivers all across India to solve problem of Flood and Drought but it was not processed by his successors and result is Bihar is once again at the mercy of God. At present no body knows intensity flood resulting damage which is mostlly affected in nine Districts of Bihar i.e. Supaul, Purnia, Madhepura, Khagaria, Bhagalpur,Darbhanga, saharsa, Araria and Madhubani. Currently every one is worried and apprehended about the situation but can't access its gravity. We may have experts or rescue team working day and night in order to minimize the damage but everything in inside heart of Koshi that how she will react when set free with more than 30 lakh cussec water as Koshi is known to change it path like what hapened in 2008.

Currently administration is going step by step but nobody knows what would be the magnitute of strength and force of river. By the time I post this blog, many of places might be affected due to flood. But one thing is sure that administration forget these phenomenon quicker than people affected. No body really try to understand the sorrow of displaced people who have to leave everything and have to live is camp. Fate of People of Bihar is once again in hands of God and politicians very soon shall be engaged in blame-game politics, concern officials will engage in shifting burden and passing of files but nobody think of actual problem to solve the same from the very root. Till the time People of Bihar are left as per mercy of KOSHI and has no other option than to pray. I pray that the leader of Government shall think of permanant slution of  regular threat and damage due to Koshi.
