INDIAN PARLIAMENT WILL MISS AN ASTUTE, ELOQUENT N A FIREBRAND PARLIAMENTARIAN FROM THE NEXT SESSION!

(Sunil Negi President Uttarakhand Media Forum)
Friends
You might be representing any ideology or hailing from any political party but I sincerely think that all will agree that a strong opposition n a dashing, dynamic, well read, conscious n eloquent lawmakers whether in state legislatures or parliament, playing vital role to apply checks on the ruling dispensation is utmostly essential as this not only strengthens democracy but also apply brakes on the autocratic n dictatorial attitude n practices of the political establishments ruling in states as well as at the centre.

For a healthy democracy we ought to have a strong n united opposition n also eloquent parliamentarians who through their knowledge n commitment add glamour n seriousness to the debates n apply counter checks to the wrong doings of the governments at the helm. We have had strong n powerful veteran opposition leaders like Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia, Tarkeshwari Sinha, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, LalKrishna Advani, Mani Ram Bagri, Raj Narayan, Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna, Jai Prakash Narayan n several others in the past who’ d always kept the ruling political establishments on tenterhooks n under checks but this time the Rajya Sabha would be losing a highly eloquent, intellectual, FIREBRAND n well read parliamentarian of the opposition benches who was not only the credible collective voice of the entire non BJP oposition but had always through his intelligent n outsanding oratorical skills always kept the ruling political dispensation on tenterhooks. He is non other than a one time dashing n dynamic left youth leader of JNU decades ago n two times Rajya Sabha MP Sitaram Yachury, currently the general secretary of CPI(M) as well, the party that is ruling Kerala n Tripura at present n was on the political saddle in West Bengal for three n a half decades. According to the CPI(M) polit bureau norms n party constitution, a two time Rajya Sabha MP is not allowed to continue for the third time. Moreover, since Yachury is the chief of the CPI(M), giving a third Rajya Sabha term to him would result in immence loss to the party at the ground level as involvement in parliamentary functions n debates requires lot of time n Yachury being the CPI(M) chief will have to devote time to strengthen the party at the national level. Highly vociferous n eloquent in parliamentary debates in the upper house Sita Ram Yachury have been keeping the Modi government on tenterhooks on vital issues such as inflation, GST, surgical strikes, foregn policy matters, PMs foreign tours, education, health n other significant policy matters n on ordinances brought forth by the NDA government. Though he belonged to CPM but in actuality he was the collective voice of the entire non BJP opposition in the Rajya Sabha. Yachury’s term is expiring next month n despite being his arch rival the Congress Party has accorded its outright support to ensure his entry for the third time in RS from West Bengal,( which is outstandingly unique) but sources say that due to internal party squabbles in even CPI(M) Yachury is not being allowed to continue for the third time by its polit bureau under the garb that his services are required more on the ground to strengthen the left party than in parliament. Sounds shocking that for the first time in several years the upper house will lose a most outstanding, intellectual, eloquent n pro people parliamentarian who was the collective powerful voice of the entire non BJP opposition who always kept the ruling NDA on tenterhooks. The electronic n print media covering parliamentary proceedings will also miss him badly as Yachury was not only an eloquent speaker but a knowledgeable source of information to the media as well. The Bhartiya Janata Party and its leaders are the happiest lot on Yachury’s would be absence from the Rajya Sabha in the days, months n years to come. The question is not whether Yachury belong’s to opposition CPI(M) party, having not much relevance in the nation’s poltics but what is important, is the fact that the people of the country would be definitely missing a good debater, fantastic orator n an dashing paliamentarian of absolute fighting spirit n prestige. What do you say friends?
