Following the terror attack on Mumbai on 13th July 2011, Member of Parliament from South Mumbai, and the youngest entry in the Union Cabinet Mr. Milind Deora given the portfolio of Communication & Information Technology Ministery accompanied Home Minister P.Chidambaram to the blast site to review situation there. And not to surprise except the media persons no one could recognize him. This is reflexive of our leaders failure to make a room for themselves in public mind. Does Mr. Rahul Gandhi expecting a political image makeover for the party & government as well by making inroad for such young turks.
While the first media coverage of the blast site were viewed across the world by 7:00 pm sharp, right within five minutes, the first blast reported in Jhaveri Bazar, the Mumbai's crisis management system took almost 25 minutes to react and the first ambulance were seen at 7:25. This enraged the locales, who were somehow making arrangements to approach the nearby hospitals.This is extremely embrassing for the administrator of the commercial capital city of the country which has been a declared target of most millitant groups.
When the innocent mumbaikar screaming with the violent pangs of suffering and death throes, their relatives and people in and around hospital angered over the government lethargic response to terror attack, did not allow Chief Minister, Mr. Chavan and his colleagues, even to enter the hospital premises. Have a shame Minister!!. Mr. Dinesh Trivedi, a Trinamool leader who were given the most coveated portfolio of Railway Minister had to face the same fate as he approached the UP hospital, where the victims of the ill-fated Kalka express were recovering. What a shame Minister!! Mr. P.Chidambaram is somewhat lucky or maverick as he approached the blast site in mid-night.
The failure of Intelligence and police is obvious and the Government could not be spared as the state must not negates its duties to provide every citizens a secure home and secure public place which is described well in the part III of the constitution as fundamental right of every citizen of India.
Encompassing over Corruption, Price-hike, Police atrocities on Baba Ramdev, Lokpal Bill drafting issue and multitude of criticism the nation witnesses a widening gap between the public and the government which is quite enough to engulf the government. The rising public outrage against the way Congress is leading the govt. is sure to get Congress out of power in days ahead. According to a circulation by online media signifies that a wide post april mandate believe that if there be election in coming next 6 months, it would be the greatest ever embrassment for the Congress.
The defending act of reshuffle in union cabinet percepting a makeover to the dwindling image of the government proven to be just another dampen squib for UPA-II. The party which has ruled the country for decades seems forget the basics of human psyche. A day after the drastic Kalka Express accident and a day before this 13/7 Mumbai attack, the apex body of government remained busy with the musical chair game. This act is highly deplorable and dejected the aam aadmi who better knows when to hit the nail on its head.
