Governance system on collapsing mode

None else than representative elected by the people to govern them are acknowledging that the governance system is on collapsing mode and elected representative themselves admit their failures in establishing the writ of the government. Surprisingly the utterances of some elected MLAs on the floor of the assembly during the debate on demand for grants for revenue and parliamentary affairs department Wednesday this week brought into question the way of the working of the ministers as one of the sitting BJP MLA told the speaker that letter of invitation issued for his participation in an official function was issued from the Personal Assistant (PA) of an incumbent minister. The contents of the letter handed over to the Speaker Assembly by the agitating BJP MLA were themselves explaining that Personal Assistant (PA) of the minister had not on his own written letter of invitation to the agitating MLA buy on the directives of the minister. Questionable it is as many other MLAs point out on the floor of the house that the minister who got the letter issued to agitating MLA by his personal assistant (PA) has qualified for his induction into the ministry only after his election as legislator. So the legislators are primarily themselves responsible for undermining the power and authority of the MLAs. Another MLA who also belongs to ruling party while accusing bureaucrats of undermining the dignity, power and authority of the MLAs said that one of the incumbent Commissioner Secretary asked a sitting MLA to wait for him in his personal section but again here question can be asked that the MLA who was asked by any Commissioner Secretary to wait in his personal section could explain all about the behaviour of the concerned Commissioner Secretary to minister under whose command and control he is working.
If the ministers themselves MLAs are not taking care of the prestige and dignity of the other MLAs how come they put the blame on the bureaucrats overseeing many activities of the government besides protocol of the public dignitaries. Ironically even the speaker of the house Kavinder Gupta expressed his helplessness before the house with the remark that the escort of the Deputy Chief Minister often overtakes his escort and this shows the breach of protocol. The utterances of the Speaker Assembly endorse the view that the elected representatives are themselves responsible for undermining their prestige and dignity. This whole state affairs shows that elected representatives by virtue of their highly objectionable and questionable actions are undermining the prestige, dignity, power and authority of MLAs. The elected representatives themselves in a state of helplessness can’t come to the rescue of the people who find themselves at the receiving end.
