Why do we need both Ambani and Kejriwal??



Couple of days back I was listening Mahonar Parikar, Goa CM. He raised very genuine question about Mr. Kejriwal that why didn’t he raised Ambani issue for last 10 years though he was RTI activist in fact he was quite instrumental in drafting the act. Might be that time due to proximity with congress leadership he didn't able to :-). Anyway, the bigger question in my mind is that why do we really need Ambani or in abstract terms privatisation of this level.
 

Remember the era pre-1991. Almost everything was in government’s control be it manufacturing, banking, aviation, telecommunication even milk production. I still remember queuing up in morning in front of DMS (Delhi Milk Scheme) store. Our leadership of that time was quite sure to follow Russia. We should thank to Narsimha Rao for bringing MMS (Manmohan Singh’s) policies for promoting privatisation and we should equally thank to Mr. Vajpayee for spinning the wheel much faster pace in coming years.

Now, what went wrong in two tenures to UPA?  This time MMS was on driving seat (at least on paper). Actually NOTHING went wrong. India has grown leaps and bounds during last decade. Mr. Modi has tapped the same policies and delivered so called Gujarat Model. I pity on congress despite knowing everything they have to discourage Gujarat due to obvious reasons.


Well the question was how come Ambani become so prominent in these years? Behind all these liberalisation, policies etc. only driving force is profitability. Privatisation was the need of hour in 1990s had this not been happen I would have still waiting for Bajaj Super scooter or queuing for MTNL land line connection. Don’t expect any private player show interest without eying profit. So, as the person who represents the government :-).


Irony is that there is no unit or scale of profit. This could be from thousands to crore thousands. Here comes the Kejriwal in picture (or read as Ashok Khemka, G. R. Khairnar) many others brave hearts. Without even validating the fact I’m 100% sure that he right with his facts handy either its about Jijaji (Vadra) or Ambani.


By knowing all these mathematics why don’t we have accountable government  till date. Answer is Our country is not ready yet.. we need another 50 years at least or until we become “SECULAR”  


Though.. Vishal Bharadwaj has preached us the concept in Maqbool why do we need both Ambani and Kejriwal.. “Aag ke liye paani ka dar bane rehna chahiye..”

P.S. Here Ambani and Kejriwal used as metaphor they could be any in their respective role..
