Demagogue


You can by no means resolve all the complaints that your wife might make. She will still look dissatisfied even if you have done all which she asked you to or even if you put a chair in the warehouse where only money is stored. A wife is an emotional creature – she does not understand the language of any logic or reason. What she understands is the language of love, affection, admiration etc. If you are obedient to her and leave her free to do anything she will like you so much. This is something that applies to the people of the country. No government, not even God can satisfy everyone. Yes, they can make them pleased only by satisfying their emotional huger.
Overall, the political parties do nothing for the people, but their demagoguery is often so strong that it soon blinds people into supporting the party passionately. The people get emotional satisfaction or dissatisfaction for all the tax they pay, for all the hard work they do and spare lavish life, wealth and power for a profligate group of persons.

The Congress ruled the country by exciting public emotion rather than by having reasonable arguments. SP, BSP, TMC, RJD, NCP, almost all the parties in the country are demagogic. Besides, every politician in India is good at nothing except at public psychology. Since these parliamentarians know nothing of government affairs, they have devised a very good way to spend time during sessions. They have turned the highest and most revered place of the country into a drama stage whereon they play a story of controversy and thus not only enjoy acting but also entertain the people of the country.

It is human nature to dislike those whom we consider rich and it is also human nature to be pleased listening to anything spoken against those who do better than us. Communists or Maoists choose the easy way of winning the favour of the common people by blaming a few who have surpassed the achievements of the rest and thus they make their way to power cunningly. Similarly the people of one community hate the people of the other community and are eager to listen to someone condemning each other’s religious adversaries. The same easy politics is possible between them. However, the most difficult and healthiest sort of politics is the one that speaks of the visions for development and that debates the impetus towards democracy and greater accountability.
