Current puzzle of Maharashtra!

Once upon a time King Akbar asked Birbal to find 4 fools in his state.

Birbal found 2 fools soon. The first fool was celebrating a child’s birth born out of his wife’s second marriage. Second fool was riding a Buffalo with a bundle of grass on his head. The reason being, he didn’t want to overload the Buffalo with weight of the grass and hence carried it on his head. Birbal took both of them to Akbar.

Puzzled Badshaah, told Birbal that he wanted 4 fools. Birbal politely replied,”3rd one is you Jahapanah ! who asked to bring the fools” and the 4th was Birbal himself, who was running behind 3 fools.

Akbar-Birbal story is getting repeated in Maharashtra politics.

The 2019 Vidhansabha elections gave clear verdict to a pre-poll alliance and all of a sudden one partner realised that it wants to rule the state as Baadshah. It needs 4 fools who can play along its whims and fancies so it targeted its own alliance partner and its found another two in Congress and NCP.

Unfortunately the fourth fool is not Shivsena but the people who voted in elections for their respective parties or alliance which turned out to be a vote for grand alliance government.

Maharashtra is known for its stalwarts, political standards and intellectual voters. The current scene is a complete mess and people of Maharashtra feel used by the political parties. The mathematical muscle power(whichever is the party) doesn’t augur well for politically matured Maharashtra. The rules of the democracy unfortunately allows such misuse after the voters have given their verdict.

If the compromise government comes into picture, the ramifications are bound to impact various municipal corporations, recalculations of alliances and formation of unholy governance not agreed by the people.

The verdict is very clear whether it’s BJP and Sena or Congress-NCP. Breaking the voters trust (whichever party they belong to) doesn’t augur well for future of Maharashtra.

Hopefully, the state keeps its image clean and gets its elected government soon and whatsoever promises and whichever party had given to its partners or the people are uphold for the sake of this wonderful state called ‘Maharashtra’.

Disclaimer: The article does not support any political party, however it’s of the opinion that whosoever forms the government should uphold tradition of Maharashtra and respect people’s wishes.
