This
particular boy Hardik was unknown a few months back. But suddenly, he grew and developed himself
as a Messiah of the Patidar community and vociferously arguing for certain
benefits for them in the name of “reservation.” His enthusiasm indicates that
he has a support from the big political stalwarts. Perhaps, these stalwarts are
thinking that through this agitation, they may curb the domineering influence of Modi in Gujarat
and elsewhere. Whatever may be the reason behind the curtain, but this
agitation has been given a mammoth media coverage showing vandalism,
hooliganism and various atrocities in some of the prominent cities of Gujarat,
namely Ahmedabad, Surat, Rajkot, Mehsana. Particularly the disruption of
public services and burning of the public transportation in the last week in
the city of Ahmedabad and other places show that under the banner of any
agitation, we always want to carry out notorious activities and achieve
pleasure to satiate our hellish instincts.The administrative callousness of the
state government has aggravated this agitation; otherwise this could have been
a timid affair. This Hardik Patel may be in the limelight today, but apparently
he does not have any political basis. So, the people, who are supporting him,
are only making some mistakes by giving extraordinary exposure to this issue,
If everybody is asking for reservation for a particular community, the
government cannot run their administration properly. Slowly the country will be
heading for more disintegration causing an alarming situation politically. It
will be known as a country of various groups, societies and a few independent
authorities. In fact, the division of the states, namely Telangana and Andhra
Pradesh and Bihar and Jharkhand have not yielded any significant benefits, at
least for the common public. This bifurcation has only given some political mileage
to certain political torch bearers of the country. That is why, this type of
agitation or political manifestations are known as “marriage of opportunism.”
As
per Hardik Patel’s candid confession, he has indicated that he has a back up of
nearly 50000 Patidars and since, the year 2012, he has vouched for certain
facilities to be reserved for this community. He also said that after observing
various issues related to their welfare
for the past 10 years, he finds that the farmers were committing suicide, the
degree holders are not getting the job and the common people are not able to
curb the poverty and all these prompt him to augment this agitation. He
vehemently denies that he has no political backing from Nitish Kumar, Arvind Kejriwal and
Raj Thakre. They only express their support for this agitation. How far it is
true, no one knows? But this is a fact
that on his own, he could have not been able to dramatize this agitation. Of course, this agitation has taken a big
leap because of the administrative callousness of Gujarat Government. First of all, they have arrested him when he
was giving some speech and then decided to sit for fasting. It was not all a
cause for arrest.At a subsequent stage, the police has beaten some innocent passers by, used tear gas and some
people also died. Apart from this, police forces entered
into the houses of Patel communities in certain areas of Ahmedabad and used their
power to frighten them, which ultimately
dragged this agitation to a further scale of unnecessary attention. Now, what type
of benefits these types of agitations are going to yield, it is a wild goose
chase, but Gujarat Government, taking the support of Modi has to immediately formulate
a strategy to curb this agitation, otherwise this boy will sensitize this issue
and cut a hole in the pocket of the administrative machineries in some other
states where he will find like minded political authorities.You never know and
underestimate your opponent; even he is a boy without any mass appeal, as of
now.
