Hisaab Maange Himanchal par Hindustan ka kya?


I was on a tour to Himachal Pradesh about a month ago, the scenic beauty of  'Devbhoomi' is charismatic and the best treat to the eyes. While I was escalating to Manali a hoarding with the caption, " Hisaab Maange Himachal" grabbed my attention and I was surprised to see about over hundred hoarding till Manali.  Read about it online that it's the aggressive election campaign of Bhartiya Janta Party in the state. The state is having their Vidhan Sabha Election in the second week of November. Some of the hoardings read, "10 Lakh Yuva Berozgaar, Kya kar rahi hai Veer Bhadra Sarkar”, “Nahi Mila Saib ka sahi mulya, Jawab do Veer Bhadra Sarkar"


 


How dull era of political advertisement we are witnessing, the same party that does not encourage media, writers, and speakers against them is attacking a state government on accountability, that accountability is lost when it comes to them in the center. Media houses and journalists are being attacked by the extremist group supported by the BJP. Questioning the government whether in the state or of the center is the exercise of the power vested in us, the people of India. I do not oppose their campaign, neither I doubt their intention for the benefit of the state but maintaining a double standard is what we least expect from the largest party in the country.

We are still struggling for jobs, for food security, for better facilities to farmers. These issues are to raised and questioned again and again. I could still remember the excitement of the 2014 results and the glow in the eyes of people when Mr Narendra Modi took oath as Prime Minister, but its fading.
I don't credit the Himachal Pradesh government of anything, neither I deny the campaign of BJP. Holding a government accountable of their work is a good practice and should be continued at every level and BJP should appreciate it too even if it's against them.


Note: This article is not in favour of the Himachal Government, it's just a question for the party that we dreamt will change the fortune of our country.
