"Doosron Ko Naseehat, Khud Mian Fazeehat"

Double talk and deceptive appearance are the hallmark of Indian politics.Our leaders make full-throated noises over "dynastic politics" but when it come to their turn, the only and foremost choice is to hand over the baton to sons and daughters. Whether, Congress or  saffron party  BJP, so called socialist outfit like Samajwadi Party or religion driven Akalis, all are chips of the same block. BJP leaders in Himachal, these days, are all out to dub nonagenarian  Pandit Sukh Ram a symbol of "dynastic politics" but in Haryana party have fallen in line with  Union Steel Minister, Birender Singh to promote his family into politics. Saffron party has given party ticket to Birender Singh's IAS officer son,  Brijendra Singh. The 46-year-old bureaucrat will make his poll debut from Hisar Lok Sabha comnstituency. BJP leadership have found more merits in Bireder Singh's son than party committed workers. Minister's wife, Prem Lata is a BJP MLA in Haryana from the Uchana Kalan assembly constituency. Unashamedly, Birender Singh has sought to cover his "dynastic political ambitions" by offering to resign from the cabinet and from the Rajya Sabha as his son has got a Lok Sabha ticket "to send across a message against dynasty politics". Earlier, Birender Singh, had sought ticket to his son and wife while in Congress, the party he stayed put for long time. He was party (Congress) incharge for Himachal during 2012 assembly elections. So its a matter of convenience not only for our leaders but  to all political outfits to promote 'daynastic politics' as per their convenience. Its a shame that even after more than seven decades of "aazadi", contemporary  politicians are "men of convenient conscious". Sukh Ram's "dynastic politics" suited BJP conveniently as long as he was with them but the moment he switched  sides, he has become a symbol of  "dynastic politics", no matter another ex-Congressman Birender Singh is toeing the same line in BJP. Indeed, "Doosron Ko Naseehat, Khud Mian Fazeehat".
