Any where is possible. A guy who has some extra-ordinary powers in his DNA, teleporting they call it, can go to any place he wishes. Sees a picture of Pyramids, the next moment he is found sitting on the apex of those giant constructions enjoying his pint of beer. Oops, I better get into what I wanted to write not the review of the Hollywood movie JUMPER released earlier this year.
That was a film,but dont u think we can find JUMPERs in our very society?? Sure, we can. Politicians are the main people I am talking about.
Jumpers have been from ages. Every great kingdom had them. More of them were left out as backstabbers. For years together they stay with a person or a group or some ideology and jump out or part-away with some reasons. Not all reasons have sense. These jumpers try to show that there is a need why they jump, I am afraid, in most of the cases greed is the key. Yes, differences do arise, most of which can be fixed. But parting ways has always been the preference.
Recent moves of some politicians in Andhra Pradesh made me to write this. The names have not been mentioned but can be well understood who are from AP.
A prominent leader from the current opposition party of AP is the latest of our jumpers. He is said to be the number 2 , has been in the party for over 25 years, serving the party and people with various posts. But the consequences of his jumping should be thought of for a moment. I am bothered not about the party he quit or party he is going to join or party he is going to float, my concern is about the resignation from his post of MLA. Does not it lead to a bye-election again? Who is going to bear the election costs? The public. This gentleman has left his party with a demand; a demand which has been 'patented' by some other political party: separate Telangana State. Moreover, he is not interested to join hands with that party who are demanding the separate state from few years. But if he really wants to go on with his demand, cant he join that party and pressurize the government? Here is where the need n greed come into scene. It is left to who ever is reading this decide what his actual intention is.
There is one more political party formed demanding a seperate state of Telangana, out of AP. What is the need to split the state? They say that the other people of the state are exploiting them. Can any one please tell me what exactly has been exploited from them? When every resource is there in most parts of Telangana, isnt it their responsibility to use them? Every now and then, they come out with slogans demanding the separation of state and resigning from their posts. Was there really any need to resign? They could have chosen many ways to protest and get their demands done.
Most of those leaders in the party are those jumpers from other parties. The very founder of the seperate Telangana party himself was a jumper from a major local party. Adding more to this, the current head of that major local party was also a jumper from a national party.
Jump from one party to the other, resign from the post of MLA or MP. It is no more a child's play. I think a resolution should be made by the Govt of India and amended into the constitution to curb all these jumpers. Under any circumstances except death, a MLA or MP should not resign from the post which requires an election to replace him/her or change his party. Any person breaching this, disqualifies him/her or a related family member from contesting the bye-elections for the whole term and also there would be no candidate in the constituency for the party the person has resigned from or joined into, till the next general elections.
This is never really going to happen unless the Supreme Court intervenes and does some thing to save the country. May be as citizens of India, we can do some thing to alert the supreme body. Just think about it!
