When Patience of a 74-Year Old was Tested, He Proceeded to Become the Responsible Son..

Motive of bringing a strong Lokpal into existence was not only to control corruption but to also uproot it from the origin. The nation lost faith in the government ever since all fraud and graft scandals came into light. It further lost faith in its “ability” to choose correct leaders when it realized that the elected people had kept the Bill pending since 1969.

All these elected politicians did, in favor of the nation, was bringing out opposition’s scandals into limelight and criticize. It didn’t get a way away with it. But none of them worked harder on ensuring that the Bill reaches its terminal, to prevent further scandals. They were selfish enough to think that the Bill will throw them off the power. Had they functioned their role earlier, a 74 year old common man wouldn’t have to step into the frame and ensure that his nation is a corruption free economy. Why did half of the population felt the need of stepping into the power to teach Government a lesson that needed to be taught years back? With leaders filling their bank accounts with golds and platinum and refilling their fuel tanks with petrol, they drained the earnings of the common man. They water their plants with branded mineral water but failed to fulfill their promise of upraising slum children with clean and adequate drinking water.

With such miser leaders who couldn’t spend their pocket money worth lakhs but are ready to overspend the hard-earned savings of the population, the nation has been defamed all over the world. The scandals like Bofors, CWG scam, Adarsh Scam, 2G scam etc. have made it impossible for the world to trust India in terms of any monetary matters. With such criticism of “Mother India” somebody had to come forward as her patriotic son who could not only throw away the corrupt, but also ensure that further generations do not get exploited. Despite of cheap revelations of the corrupt leaders, the government is still not ashamed in saying that they will not draft the Bill as per the demand of the people; they’ll draft it in a way it is convenient for them.

Lokpal became a mere joke in Parliament for a period of 43 years, where it was tossed from one table to another, from one party to another, all busy in amending provisions which would save their name in scandals. Yet now, the government has promised to work sincerely and honestly on it. It won’t. All of us know. So it was time for a 74 year old hero to represent public and prove that the nation is not fool to stay silent on their impish carelessness, but is strong enough to sit on a collective fast for merely 10 days and make changes in the Bill, empowered with democracy!
