External Affairs Minister, Salman Khurshid, remarked after his return from China that Chinese capital Beijing is “the best place to settle down”, and this irked the Samajwadi Party workers as they wanted some appreciation for Saifai in Etawah, the home town of the Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav. Khurshid obliged them also, although sarcastically, saying that Saifai is equally “the best place to settle down”. There is no doubt that Saifai, once a small village, is an extraordinarily developed a place with all the facilities which may not be available in even much bigger towns in the country. Thanks to Mulayam Singh Yadav who gave the small village the status of a full fledged city. Feeding the small village fat to a gigantic size with all paraphernalia available there was not an easy task but the question is as to why the same thing can’t be done in respect of several other places in Uttar Pradesh. The funds earmarked for the development of Safai didn’t flow from some one’s pocket, they were all the public money only. If public money is utilised in an equitable manner, the benefit may go to a large number of other places but it is highly dishonest on the part of the political leaders that they use public money to appease the people in their constituencies ignoring the other otherwise most genuine places. Such a misuse of funds in fact warrants a curb on the political leaders whenever they are in power.

Birthday Mayawati style
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati had her birth day the other day like she has been so doing for quite a long time. She always wants to be recognized as a real representative of downtroddens and the backwards. The way she always goes for a lavish expenditure on her birthdays speaks some thing just otherwise. If Mahatma Gandhi championed the cause of the poor, the downtroddens, he never forgot to himself lead a simple life matching with the poor ones as his conviction was that how could he have a life full of comforts if it was denied to poors in the country. He was known as a faqir wearing a simple dhoti to cover his body. Just in contrast to this is the living style of Mayawati whose chosen preference is always for a lavish style of living. Behavioural pattern of hers too is normally too harsh leaving autocrats much behind on that count. Only a few days back a girl wanted to see her to narrate her plight, overharrassed as she was by her maternal uncle, but instead of hearing her agonies she was sent to police custody. Birthday gifts are a common feature no doubt and people do accept them as a token of love and affection but the moment they assume the shape of some kind of a bribe, the very sanctity is lost. An enormously huge amount of money is collected in the name of her birthday every time just fails to get termed as love or affection, it only amounts to a bribe requisitioned by the one who is in power and command.
