Democracy at its best

Trusterley Dickinson PakmaFebruary 15, 2021

To the concerned authorities,

I was advised by my ancestors to always think twice before I do anything. First of all, mister representative, do you really think about us the people before you decide on anything?? do you care about us the people before you made any decisions?? Based on what happened, it’s a NO.

Petrol and diesel prices almost hit Rs.100/litre, and Rs.2/- is your reduction, it’s nothing different from an online shopping site, before any festivals sale, the price is Rs.3999/- and during festival the price is Rs.3995/- May be it’s not a problem for you to fill up your tank with the COUPON provided to you after charging tax from us. Don’t you have no shame at all?? Crores and crores the petrol pump owner paid as a tax, and somewhere i read that the tax cut from petroleum are for the Teacher’s salary, while most of the teachers salary are left unpaid, oh please. Why do teacher’s have to suffer?? and your education policy are updated every now and then, teacher’s have to complete B.Ed, De El.Ed, and what not, while their deserved salaries are pending every now and then. why?? we chose you to solve our problems mister representative, not to create problems, to which you did so.

Now what, load shedding, come on man. 6 AM – 9 AM??? why this timing?? most of us we need this timing to prepare food for ourselves as we have to leave early. Some of us have to prepare food for our children’s, why you shut down at the rush hour timing?? trust me mister representative, most of us are not government employee, where we can leave for office half day. most of us are self employed, and we have to reach the office by 9-9:30 AM. The only timing we have in the morning to prepare lunch is a load shedding timing of yours.

The daily wages labourers, by 7AM they have to reached their work place, how on earth you think they’ll get enough time to prepare lunch for themselves when your shut down timing is their important timing of a day?? For your information, we are not paid well enough to spend thousands and lakhs for food at the canteen, which we don’t have one. Do you care?? we can’t leave office at your ordered Alarm that rang at 4:30 PM – 5 PM.

Most of us left offices by 6 PM – 7 PM evening. By the time we finished to bath or wash up and prepare food, your shut down timing is up already. Oh come on man, think about it.

Mister representative, from midnight till 5-6 AM most of us we don’t need electricity, why not go for that hours?? Do you care?? every now and then you speak about crores and crores of hydro project, where is the Dam?? or should I ask, where is the crores?? or are the hydro project lying useless like your red buses lying by the road side covered with dust and grass and what not???

I don’t have any personal issues with anybody, and please don’t get me wrong, but I’m asking My government, I’m asking you the one who came up to me every five years to cast for your symbols.

From promises to promises, your words are like icing on a cake, but man, you don’t seems to care.

From time to time I read the news that one representative speaks against another representative of different parties. mocking him/her, using all kinds of words and nonsense, why?? if you really care about us the people, about the development of the state and the nation, why don’t you work together as a team??? like the saying goes “if you want to walk faster, walk alone, but if you want to walk further, walk together” why point fingers one against the other? we didn’t choose you to fight amongst yourselves, we chose you to fight for the people’s rights, and the development of our land, to solve unemployment, to provide us good health care, to provide us good roads, and most importantly, to give the best governance. As a leader, we expect to look up to you, as an inspiration, but man, you made us look up to you as an illusion.

You promised us to work for the benefit of the people’s, mister representative please make yourself clear, Who are the PEOPLE’S you’re referring to??
