Politics of ambitions Vs public aspirations

The politicians in Jammu & Kashmir have unfortunately exploited aspirations of the people purely for their personal ambitions and the politics of ambitions is not heading to any dead end even after seventy long years of political chaos. The successive central governments are to be blamed more for the current political mess than the mainstream political parties. Unfortunately the incumbent Narendra Modi led BJP Government at the centre like previous non BJP government plans to encourage politics of ambitions against the whims and wishes of the people of Jammu & Kashmir. If corruption is the concern and development the priority of the incumbent central government in Jammu & Kashmir, the doors have to be shut not only for the dynasty politics but also for the political turn coats tending to go against the whims and wishes of the people. Unfortunately the leaders allowed free political space in the present hostile political atmosphere have been part of the political formations imposed over the people of Jammu & Kashmir against their whims and wishes from and unfortunately most of them are facing serious charges of corruption. If corruption is concern the government has not to be selective in its actions against the corrupt and if development is a priority the government has not to put the administration into the hands of those tainted bureaucrats against whom even the Jammu & Kashmir high court has passed on toughest strictures years ago.     As far as the restoration of a genuine political process in Jammu & Kashmir is concerned, the government is not at liberty to deny the right to personal liberty and right to free political activity to any individual or group of individuals for furthering the political motives of the ruling party at the centre as has been witnessed in the recently held DDC elections. For furthering the causes of democracy not only the policy of curbs and detentions has to go, but the non stop process of defections increasing the fears of stability in the working of panchayat bodies and recently constituted district development councils (DDC) must also be stopped through the enforcement of a stringent anti-defection law.

Desperate attempts to impose political turn coats over the people of Jammu & Kashmir would by the beginning of a new phase of the politics of ambitions and exploitations in Jammu and Kashmir, but such a plan of disintegrating tendencies won’t take the party ruling at the centre nearer to any power sharing formation in Jammu & Kashmir . 

Sooner the defection end in Jammu & Kashmir, the better it would be for the furthering the causes of public aspirations. Though BJP leaders during their frequent visits to Kashmir are trying to exploit the emotions of tribal communities particularly Gujjars, Bakerwals and Paharis for furthering the causes of divisive politics in Jammu & Kashmir but the results of recently held DDC elections has left no scope for triabalisation of Kashmir politics. Desperate attempts to impose political turn coats over the people of Jammu & Kashmir would surely mark the beginning of a new phase of the politics of ambitions and exploitations in Jammu and Kashmir, but such a plan of disintegrating tendencies won’t take the party ruling at the centre nearer to any power sharing formation in Jammu & Kashmir .
