Professionals in Politics

Any good outcome from 26/11? Yes, the incident has reunited the country and it has pushed the intellect mass to join politics. Meera Sanyal (country head of ABN AMRO) is contesting Lok Sabha election as an independent candidate from South Mumbai. Hats-off to her for the brave decision .. I hope this is just the beginning of professionals entering into politics.. many more to follow.. Though Meera Sanyal's decision to enter politics is well respected and being welcomed by everyone but the question comes why to contest as an independent candidate? Why not to join a political party? But which party Meera Sanyal can join? Definitely a big 'NO' to Congress or BJP (Anyway, she'll not get the ticket). In my opinion, she should join the "PROFESSIONAL PARTY OF INDIA". Meera Sanyal could relate her ideology with Professional Party and the probability of winning the election is more if there is a party back-up rather than contesting as an independent. Also the Profession

Leadership

The meaning of good leader and average leader is well understood by analyzing BJP party. Under Mr. Vajpayee's leadership, BJP flourished all over the country with only one agenda i.e Development.. Now the commander in chief of BJP is Mr. Advani and the party has degraded. The party has lost its focus under Mr. Advani's leadership. Let us analyze what has gone wrong under Mr. Advani's leadership.. 1. Portraying himself as the PM candidate (81 years old).. should have portrayed Mr. Arun Jaitley as the PM candidate. 2. Still the agenda is Ram Mandir.. favouring Mr. Varun Gandhi's remark.. supporting Sadhvi Pragyan Singh Thakur in Malegaon blast case.. so, the approach is communalism.. not at all acceptable to the people of India.. 3. Appointing wrong people in important positions.. e.g. Mr. Rajnath Singh.. 4. Neglecting the key persons like Mr. Arun Jaitley.. 5. Failed to keep good relationship with the allies.. the major set back is by losing BJD as its ally.. 6. The part

Election Time..

The election time is on and all the parties are trying hard for seat sharing.. So, the onus is on the voters to choice a good party which can lead India to development and growth.. Presence of multi-party system in India make the voters confuse.. but thanks to active media for making people more aware and judgemental.. This is the era of regional parties and the regional parties are making their presence at national level also. So, it's very confusing to decide to vote for which party... Let me give my point of view.. Regional parties are more focussed towards their regions and they are doing good work for their states... just take the example of BJD.. Mr. Naveen Pattnaik is doing a tremendous job in Orissa.. so, definitely the regional parties are good candidates for state election.. However, a big no from my side to the regional parties in center election even if the regional party's candidate is good.. If we are voting for regional parties in center election, then there will
