A resourceful State has been thrown into the political turmoil of instability by seven governments in just ten years speaks volumes of the misuse of power by dominant political parties and their leaders. The purpose of carving out Jharkhand from Bihar has done the State nothing good. Its instability should serve as a lesson to all those who want to carve out independent States from different regions. Today the state has become the biggest fort for maoists, illegal mining, a biggest section uneducated & unemployed and criminal activities.
A survey conducted by an idependent NGO revealed that 80 to 90 % people of state had not received any help either from block level officials, government agencies or scientists from the local agricultural universities regarding any type of problem to them.
Today there is no end of drama from Jharkhand politics. The best that one can say is that the current act of the Jharkhand drama between BJP-JMM.
Let us, however, take a look at the larger picture. Uncertain electoral verdicts seem to have become the norm in India, giving rise to shaky post-poll alliances. Governance suffers as a result, with everyone more concerned with jockeying for position than the boring task of administration!
Is it time we finally bit the bullet, and went in for some variant of the American model with directly-elected chief executives? Or do you think there is still any hope of carrying on with the current set-up?
I will suggest that President should take the responsibility in her hand for a longer time until the condition in employment, maoism, administration, education, poverty, criminalisation etc get better position. Otherwise after some years the state will be one of the most backward in development a far from political stability.
