Here are a few relevant suggestions and points to ponder for the self styled leaders of the Janatantra Morcha Andhra Pradesh state body.......
* why don't you focus your concentrated energies on taking up a few issues that will help you in staying solvent and relevant instead of running down each other in public, calling each other colourful and vile names and indulging in antics that would even put a seasoned politician to shame......
* Our soul father, guide and mentor Shri Anna Hazare spoke of a Sampoorna Vyavastha Parivartan or complete and far reaching systemic change when he addressed the sparse and meagre gathering at the Wesley College Grounds, but do tell me have you even spared a thought about setting your own house in order before reforming the existing system.........
* One does completely sympathise, empathise and agree with the aggrieved and wounded souls who feel alienated and disillusioned by the antics of these wannabes who have surreptitiously usurped the very reins of power and pelf into their very own hands, what I fail to understand is whether this peoples' movement was all about power, pelf and self glorification or then was it about selfless service, sacrifice and dedication as I have come to understand it.........
* the cause has always been and will always continue to be greater than the individual, no individual can subvert a cause and overwhelm or undermine it calling it his/her own brainchild and creation; the success of a cause is always determined by the cohesiveness, inclusiveness and spirit of give and take that exists amongst it's supporters and bickering, bad blood and dithering amongst it's supporters always sounds it's death knell and spells it's doom........
* flexi banners, pamphlets, other than information and cause related one's, grandiose self laudatory press statements and shameful buffoonery that would even put a seasoned comedian to shame has no place or relevance whatsoever in a supposedly reformatist movement and if self praise, promotion and glorification rather than selfless and dedicated service is your only reason for being there, I am of the opinion that such interests would be better served within an established political party........
* Shri Anna Hazare's legions of supporters claim to be apolitical and free from any political moorings, but pray will somebody tell me what those flexi banners, cut outs, flyers that were circulated with the photographs of such notables along with Shri Anna Hazare and the Maddening clamour to be seated on the podium in the full media glare was all about.......
* Why don't we focus our energies on taking up women's related causes in a big way, my good friend Sashank Rajwadi has filed a series of RTI petitions in this regard and even received replies from various high ranking policed officials pertaining to his queries in this regard; yours truly has raised certain pertinent questions with the National Commission for Women about their repeated failures to provide required relief and succour to victims of such crimes, their failure to file cases and police complaints in every case that is duly brought up before them and why the Maharashtra state government has failed to appoint a head for it's state commission for the last three years and more. I am also aware of the work being done by Kumar Shastri in this regard, but can anybody else say the same about himself/herself........
* And last but not the least, will the organisers of the Janatantra March slated for March 3, 2013 come clean on their motives and reasons for organising the same; if social service and adoption of a peoples' related agenda is your motive and aim, then you have found a dedicated supporter and advocate, but if self glorification, promotion and seeking the media limelight is your guiding principle, then I am not even willing to touch you with a bargepole..........
Absolute honesty both with oneself and others is the only way forward; and if clandestine agendas, oneupmanship related skirmishes and other such related matters are on the table or then below it, then I am afraid to say that it a classic case of one step forward and four steps backwards........
