Many would agree with Shiv Visvanathan’
views expressed, “Scrutinising the manifesto of BJP “(The Hindu article on
11.4. 19 that, “it lacks scant sensitivity to the basic problems of the
people”. Talking about agriculture without a solution to water mismanagement
and indebtedness of the farmers
resulting in suicides, thumping the
chest about Swatch Bharat Mission
while closing the eyes to the inhuman condition of the scavengers ,
being silent on demonetisation which destroyed small businesses , job
creation rate and converted day to day lives of people into a nightmare ,lip service to enhancing the quality
of education while using rhetoric like
“world class education” etc., is not going to impress any body . What is the
use of quoting data and high sounding technical words to prove their
performance ? India lives in villages . Rural population in general and
the poor in particular want their basic
needs to be addressed so that, they can give a decent standard
of living to their family members and live with dignity in this
“fastest growing economy”. Jargons,
grand names to schemes and data to support them, mean nothing these sections . Utter lack of understanding of
their real needs and lack of humanism while preparing the manifestos will result in lack of connectivity between parties and voters
