As the PM, Mr. Manmohan Singh, addressed the country from the historic Red Fort on the occasion of India's 63rd Independence Day a feeling of discontentment overcame me. The spirit of national pride was completely missing as the PM made all these promises which somewhere deep down we all know are never going to be fulfilled. This feeling of hopelessness is what I dream to overcome if I ever become the PM of India.
The opacity of the entire system has bothered the citizens long enough. Corruption and inequality in all sectors are the two major obstacles which I would want to overcome by turning words into actions and making sure that all the programmes initiated by the govt are actually implemented and taken full advantage of by the people it was meant for. Looking at the current status this seems pretty much impossible but atleast I'd want the people to know and believe that an effort is being towards ensuring a more transparent system and that they can put their trust on their elected representatives.
Each year on this date a white paper should be presented by each constituency on the development that have taken place on the fronts of eradication of poverty, education, infrastructural development amongst others as against the current practice of rhetorics. This will ensure the citizens of the progress taking place around them and will make them feel aware and a part of the system which according to me is democracy in the true sense.
For me as the PM nothing would be more satisfactory than knowing that the citizens of my country have full faith in the system and are proud to be associated with this beautifully diverse nation.
