I have not written a blog for quite some time.There were many things which occupied my mind during this period,like Anna's anti corruption movement,2G issue,mining scam,Yeddy's resignation,Santosh Hegde's parting gift to anti-corruption movement.
However nothing compelled me more than three recent incidents,which have firmly established our faith in the rule of law vis a vis ,existence of supernatural power.Yediyurappa ,the most powerful, the first Chief minister of BJP in south had to finally resign after Lokayuktha Santosh Hegde submitted a report to Governor on the mining scam .The most powerful Reddy brothers lost their power ,who once thought that, they are invincible with their mining money power and muscle power.They never thought that they would end up in jail so soon.
One of the most promising actor in Kannada film Industry,Mr Darshan also ended up going to jail for alleged violence against his wife and son.
In public life arrogance has no place,because you belong society.All these three had erred in their perception of public life. Yeddyurappa had come a long way with forty years of public life to make to the top,instead using it as an opportunity to serve people,he started amassing wealth as if there is no next day.His sons and relatives thought that it is god given opportunity to amass wealth with out even caring for public opinion.He thought that, Party High command ,Matadipatis whom he has lavished treated would come to his rescue when he is in trouble.He has been going to each and every temple offering pooja to gods,and lavishly treating god's agents.Due to his arrogance he could not realise the writing on the wall.Nobody will come to your rescue when you are in trouble.When he had to finally resign there was no protest anywhere,even in his own home constituency.He had an opportunity to go down in the history as one of the best Chief Minister Karnataka ever had,but on the other hand he had gone out as one of the most corrupt CM. He should now shed arrogance and go to temple of people who have elected him and his party and ask for an apology for his and his sons misdeeds,because they can only save him.
Reddys,thought that with ill gotten wealth they can make or break anybody.They have not learnt any thing from the history,perhaps they are too uneducated understand this.Even mighty Indira Gandhi was thrown out of power due to her arrogance during emergency.These are small people, who had come to public life recently,not by hard work but by shear money and muscle power who can be thrown out any time.Now they must have realised their money power,muscle power , lavish gold offering to various gods and party bigwigs will not help them come out of the mess they are in.All of them will distance themselves from them when they are down and out.None of the party bigwigs ever tried to reach them ,may be they are very happy to get rid of them as they were always constant source of trouble.
Last but not the least important is the fall of cinema hero Darshan.His manhandling of wife,later drama has not been able to make any impact on the Judiciary.His unruly behaviour with his family finally caught him up.Now he has lost every thing, flourishing film career,wealth,health and above important public image.
Moral of the story is when you are in public life ,be humble,try to be honest and do not display your ugly side of life to public.You should set an example to people by your deeds not by misdeeds,otherwise you will loose everything that you have worked hard for reaching there.
