When Narendra Modi was divulged as the Prime Ministerial candidate, the campaign highlighted him as the game changer for the Indian Politics. Till date, BJP holds strong to the sentiment. But after four years of clutter -declutter, the style of the game remains the same and the concentration has shifted from changing the game to changing the color of the playground. After all, that’s what which will blindfold the people.
The Bhartiya Janta Party has an obsession with possession.
The crown of India which has an endless record of enticing one and all by its elegant beauty can be the next up for the new name with its ripped and shredded mane.
Asking for an opinion to change the world famous Shimla city’s name to Shyamla can be correlated to a ritual followed in many sects.In it, the bride ’s name is changed after marriage. Therefore, with the stamp, the girl becomes their possession entirely- bought and sealed.
Analogous is the case with the queen of hills. She is married to BJP now, which is lead by Jai Ram Thakur in the state.BJP led government is obsessed with the thought that to mark their stamp, a name change is mandatory. Making the most of their five-year tenure in Himachal, they wish to patent a book of development into their favor with their flavors.
The research work and logic which have gone into floating the proposal of the name change is incredible. The government has not only worked hard on getting to the roots of history but also have tried to hit the emotional cord by bringing in the story of Devi Shyamla pointing out the way Britishers miss pronounced her name.
Wish the laborious effort was gone into finding a permanent water solution to Shimla. The recent memory is of the shortage of this basic necessity gave a 360 degree hit to the state in this June. This questions the priority of Jai Ram Government.
The brains should have come together to nab the Goods and Service Tax( GST )evaders of the current case which has come to light from Dharamshala. If adhered to, the state will earn crores. This will give it a free hand to complete much-needed work.
Good governance is not in changing, it is in uplifting. The efforts are required to make the city drug free. To make the youngsters healthy. Efforts are required to make the city safe for everybody.They are required to work out more plans for employment. Efforts are required to complete the National Highway work. The highway which is the gateway to the state and which is in tatters.
As far as the name change is concerned, it is a no ball for the locals. A few are also of the opinion that the proposed name Shyamla for the city Shimla is like changing the uptown girl Rita’s name to Reeta Devi, of course, in a lighter vein. Well! Shimla to Shyamla seems like a never-ending fight of possession. It can be called shyamla or Shimla but it will always remain the queen of hills.The hills with dominant green and not saffron.
