On October 7, Rahul Gandhi shared a video of cooking and eating at the home of a Dalit family in Kolhapur, Maharashtra.
As soon as elections come, new methods are invented in politics. Not from now, but for years. A leader goes to a poor person’s house and eats food. A politician places his hand on the shoulder of a Dalit and pretends to be equal to all religions.
When will this equanimity actually come between the leaders and our society? No one knows whether he will come or not. Our economy, our entire environment, the market itself is something in which the poor become poorer and the rich become richer.
PM Modi washed the feet of sanitation workers in Prayagraj on February 24, 2019.
The shortcomings of government policies and poor administration do not allow the schemes made for the poor to reach them. Those to whom the benefits reach continue to take advantage of them, while the majority of people remain deprived due to this reason.
The feeling of discrimination and discrimination neither allowed the light of education nor the light of comforts to reach many sections of the society. It is said that every night has some morning, but the surprising thing is that there is no morning in the night of poverty.
Home Minister Amit Shah had dinner at the house of a Dalit daily wage laborer in Devgaon village of Kendujhar district of Odisha on April 5, 2018.
Even after so many years of independence, their nights are flying like black eagles. Till date he has not seen the face of comforts and facilities. Poverty does not allow their children to even go to school. After all, when will our politics and politicians truly think about this? When will we make effective policies in this regard and show the will to implement them honestly?
Every five years, every poor person votes in the hope that this time’s government will definitely provide him/her welfare, but that day, that time could not come in the last 77 years. In fact, the very purpose of politics has changed.
The then Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal had dinner at an auto driver’s house in Ahmedabad on September 12, 2022.
The attention of the leaders has remained focused only on wasting votes instead of public welfare. They consider the public as nothing more than a voting machine. They are seen only during elections every five years. This system, this pattern must be changed. Equanimity can come only then.
