The voluntary resignations that followed the Mumbai mayhem will not comfort any. The whole political drama is akin to brutally killing someone and saying sorry to the victim's relatives.
"I accept moral responsibility for the terror attacks," said Mr.Vilas Rao Deshmukh. At last, the gentleman has accepted that he is guilty. Then why should he not be prosecuted? In fact, a criminal proceeding should be carried out against him and the reasons for being inefficient should be made public.
"Heavy burden was lifted off my shoulders," said a shameless Shivraj Patil after submitting his resignation. If this is what a country's Home Minister feels of his only responsiblity, then I am sorry to say that we have elected a bunch of jokers.
We have another Mahatma in the form of R.R. Patil, Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister of Maharastra. He made the most senseless and foolish remark just after all the militants were killed. "Such small incidents happen in big cities. It is nothing to worry," said the bastard.
Looking at the series of events over the past one year and the Congress government's chaltha hai attitude, the only question that hits many of us is "What next?"

There's no answer for your question "what's next?"
Not much will happen. The elections are soon to follow and we as voters will help elect most of these buggers. If not from this party, then from other party. There is no dearth of political parties and leaders in India. Some parties will probably unite and form a govt. and the ruling continues. If the system has to change, we as people have to change. We resist to change only to blame the system, politicians and the society.

Furious remarks Ramakrishna. I believe that as commoners we have hell lot of problems to deal with which hinders us from doing something substantial for the country, and that is the reasons we have our representatives in the form of politicians and govt. officials. Of course, they never meet our expectations.
We are not averse to change but we are happy trying to accommodate ourselves.

But vinay, my point was 'it is we people who elect those politicians' and as long as we continue to help them win this will continue. A careful look at the current political system in India tells us that barring a few able and sensible intellectuals, there are hardly any young and dynamic leaders. We need several intellectuals and foresighted leaders to take the country way ahead in every aspect.

We have no other alternative except contesting the elections ourselves or making sure that we have at least 85 per cent voting.

Vote for no one.

@akhil:
That has been the problem in India. We don't vote and people who get majority of the 40 percent votes polled claim themselves as representatives of everyone.

I believed in 'Voting for none', even knowing that it was not the right way. This time I'll make sure to use my vote.
And, before we vote, the parties ought to have potential public representatives to stand in elections. But what's happening most often is people with money, influence and power qualify for contesting.
Never ending debate this will be...
