तमाशा नव्हे, तर राज्याची क्षमताः गोंगाट करणाऱ्या राजकारणाची कर्तव्ये पूर्ववत होत राहतात
दवाखाने, न्यायालये, परीक्षा हॉल, कोसळलेला पूल आणि ओमानच्या समुद्राजवळ, मुख्य सार्वजनिक कर्तव्ये पक्षपाती लढाईमुळे गर्दी होण्याचा धोका आहे.
आठवड्यातील दोन नोंदी
दोन नोंदींचा हा आठवडा आहे. लाऊड रजिस्टरमध्ये, पुतळे आणि नागरी चिन्हे खाली खेचल्याबद्दल देशाने वाद घातला
प्रदर्शन आणि वितरण
खरा तणाव सरकार आणि विरोधी पक्ष यांच्यात नाही; तो तमाशा आणि वितरण यांच्यामध्ये आहे. राजकारण, त्याच्या स्वभावानुसार, दृश्यमान हावभावाला बक्षीस देतेः रॅली, घोषणा, प्रतीकात्मक विध्वंस, परीक्षा अयशस्वी झाल्यानंतर नियोजित टाऊन हॉल. प्रशासन, त्याच्या स्वभावानुसार, अदृश्य आणि कंटाळवाण्या गोष्टींवर अवलंबून असतेः गर्दीच्या जिल्ह्यात सार्वजनिक-आरोग्य प्रतिसाद, न्यायनिवाड्यात आणलेली चाचणी, गळती न होणारी परीक्षा प्रणाली, विशिष्टतेनुसार पुनर्बांधणी केलेला पूल आणि
Two honest claims
Both instincts deserve a fair hearing. The case for political noise is real: in a democracy, outrage is a corrective. A NEET leak, an alleged primary-school jobs scam now drawing eleven hours of Enforcement Directorate questioning, alleged misogynistic conduct during House proceedings, and the deaths of Indian mariners off the Oman coast should provoke concern, because public anger is often the force that moves a sluggish system. To demand silence is to ask citizens to accept rot quietly. Yet the opposite case is equally real: anger is not administration. No town hall rebuilds a collapsed span, no slogan staffs a clinic, no toppled statue feeds a family. A politics that mistakes the expression of concern for the delivery of a remedy keeps winning arguments while losing the country's trust.
What the record shows
Consider the documented record. In Kerala, 138 confirmed cases of Shigella had been reported by June 14, the highest number in Kozhikode district, and four people are now dead, the latest a child of seven. Before a Special CBI Court, a murder trial has taken twenty years and 128 witnesses, with its verdict deferred from May 2026 and then scheduled for June 16. The Enforcement Directorate questioned Abhishek Banerjee for eleven hours over the alleged money trail in a primary-school jobs scam. A national outreach has been planned around the NEET leak and repeated examination failures. A bridge over the Bharaj river between Sihod and Pavijetpur lies broken while its reconstruction is reported to be moving at an extremely slow pace, affecting local villagers, farmers, students and daily commuters. Each is a number, and behind each number is a citizen.
The measure of a state
Here is the verdict. A state is measured not by the volume of its politics but by the reliability of the services on which its smallest citizen depends. Justice that arrives after two decades is justice corroded. An examination system shadowed by leaks robs the diligent and rewards distrust. A recruitment scam allegation steals not only money but the public's faith that a poor child can rise by effort. A disease outbreak that has killed four in a single State is a warning about the most basic public health. These are not partisan charges; they are administrative tests, and they would indict whichever hands held office. The fault lies less in any single government than in a political culture that performs concern instead of producing competence.
The unglamorous repair
The repair is unglamorous and entirely feasible. Disease surveillance and basic public-health staffing must be prioritised in districts reporting the most cases, before an outbreak becomes an obituary. Courts need the capacity and case management to ensure that a trial does not take two decades to reach judgment. Examination bodies must move to audited, tamper-evident question security with clear liability for leaks. Public-works contracts should carry firm deadlines and penalties, so a broken bridge is rebuilt before daily life is held hostage. Officers sent into hazardous duty deserve safety protocols, not only the ₹30 lakh solatium announced after the funeral. The Union government should brief Parliament on the mariners who died off Oman, and the Speaker should act through clear procedure on misconduct complaints. None of this trends; all of it governs.
एखाद्या राज्याचे मोजमाप त्याच्या राजकारणाच्या प्रमाणानुसार केले जात नाही, तर ज्या सेवांवर त्याचा सर्वात लहान नागरिक अवलंबून असतो त्या सेवांच्या विश्वासार्हतेद्वारे केले जाते.
पक्षपाती दृष्टिकोनामुळे घटनात्मक कर्तव्ये बदलू न देता राज्य जीवन, आरोग्य, कामाशी संबंधित संधी आणि संस्थात्मक विश्वासाचे रक्षण करू शकते का, हा प्रश्न आहे.
सार्वजनिक कर्तव्य प्रतिसाद विधेयक
संसदेने आणि राज्यांनी सार्वजनिक कर्तव्य प्रतिसाद कायदा लागू केला पाहिजे ज्यामध्ये प्रत्येक अधिसूचित सार्वजनिक-आरोग्य उद्रेक, तपासणीची अखंडता अयशस्वी होणे, पूल किंवा आवश्यक-पायाभूत सुविधा कोसळणे आणि कालबद्ध सार्वजनिक कृती योजना सुरू करण्यासाठी मोठ्या अंमलबजावणी-कर्तव्याचा मृत्यू, मासिक आर. टी. आय.-जबाबदार्या जाहीर करणे आवश्यक आहे.
तुमचे घटनात्मक अधिकार
या कथेत संविधान काय हमी देते?प्रतिष्ठा, गोपनीयता, आरोग्य, स्वच्छ वातावरण आणि उपजीविकेचा समावेश करण्यासाठी न्यायालयांनी वाचलेल्या कायद्याद्वारे स्थापित केलेल्या न्याय्य, न्याय्य आणि वाजवी प्रक्रियेशिवाय कोणत्याही व्यक्तीला जीवन किंवा वैयक्तिक स्वातंत्र्यापासून वंचित ठेवले जाणार नाही.
