With
elections near, the major political parties have started preparations.
The Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party will not be leaving
any chance to win the trust of the voters. The ruling party
in Madhya Pradesh organised its brainstorming session for
two days at well-known tourist spot Sanchi. During the meeting,
the home minister Himmat Kothari accused some of the ministers
for indulging in corrupt practices; the leader also spoke
on the indiscipline among party workers. This had brought
down the reputation of the party, he claimed. Some of the
leaders expressed concern over neglect of grassroot workers.
This is a dangerous situation wherein the base of the party
gets weakened. Once resentment sets in among the workers,
the people also become disappointed with the party. It is
not good for politics. At the same time the ministers too
should improve their behaviour. Open charges of corruption
among the ministers, who are supposed to serve the people,
are serious. The ministers' behaviour exercises a lot of influence
on the party set-up. Though it is important to implement the
decisions reached at such sessions, yet it is equally important
that ministers and leaders also introspect on their ways of
working. BJP has roped in the help of its senior leaders including
former Chief Minister Sunderlal Patwa. Though according to
the State BJP chief the meeting was a normal procedure to
review the performance of the government, yet the differences
among some of the leaders aired in the meeting should not
be overlooked. The party needs to pay sincere attention to
the problems facing the electorate. At the same time it is
necessary to speed up development works.
