Dirty Tricks to Save Bungalows
Babu Rajendra Prasad, after his retirement as the distinguished President of India for ten years, moved from the comforts of Delhi to Sadaqat Ashram in Patna. In his footsteps, the next President of India Dr S. Radhakrishnan also moved away from Delhi to live in Madras. The late Morarji Desai shifted to a two bedroom house in Mumbai, thanks to Sharad Pawar, the then Chief Minister of Maharashtra, who got that small house allotted in his name in the category of the freedom fighters as he had no other place to live anywhere in India. Gulzari Lal Nanda, a freedom fighter, two times Interim Prime Minister of India and the founder of the INTUC, died at the ripe age of hundred in Ahmedabad always lived a Spartan life.
Contrast their ‘simple living and high thinking’, who made sterling contributions during the freedom struggle, to modern leaders like; Mulayam Singh Yadav, Mayawati and Lalu Prasad Yadav. Before demitting their offices, they got allotted big bungalows in the posh areas. Now when the Supreme Court has ordered the former Chief Ministers of Uttar Pradesh to vacate their bungalows, which they got allotted themselves in the capacity of the former Chief Ministers, they are rattled and are adopting all devious and ingenious methods to retain them.
Look at the brazenness of Mayawati, the Dalit ki beti, who has mostly reluctantly agreed to shift to a new house in the same locality and is much bigger and imposing than the previous one. There can be no objection to it as she can claim that she had purchased the new house with her ‘hard-earned’ money. What is objectionable is that before shifting to her new bungalow, she has put a banner of ‘Kanshi Ram Memorial’ outside the house that she vacated. Her actions speak volumes about the dishonesty of this Dalit ki beti.
Not to be outdone, the father and son duo – Mulayam Singh Yadav and Akhilesh Yadav- are playing all the dirty tricks of the game to retain their bungalows in Lucknow’s posh area. Fie on such socialism! As in the name of this socialism they plundered and sucked the state white and left the people to lead a wretched life. The intent and conduct of these Samajwadi leaders have always been suspicious and repulsive. These leaders used the power into an instrument of extorting money and personal aggrandizements. They would be remembered not for any vision or good works for the development of the state but for their retrogressive and abominable acts of spreading of casteism and nepotism. Development of the state or the welfare of the people has been in the last rung of their priorities.
It is also true that the BJP government could never have gathered the courage to evict these unauthorized occupants from their bungalows. The credit goes only to the Supreme Court that it has shown them the proper place. There are many more unauthorized persons, who have been illegally occupying the government houses in the prime locations in the state capitals although many of them do have their personal houses in the same city, and are making huge money by putting them on rents. The minimum that is expected from the State government is to follow the ‘rule of law’ in its letter and spirit and get the houses evicted from these powerful squatters.
