JCB quest and the politicians

Recently, the prime minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson visited India, he landed in Ahmedabad the capital of the Indian state Gujarat. There he paid a visit to JCB company where he could be seen in a photo-op too with him mounting the JCB and other places too like Sabarmati Ashram where he was seen rolling the "charkha". And this all happened after there was a demolition of some illegal structures in a part of New Delhi. The demolition was being carried out by the Municipal corporation of that area. And the problem is the demolition continued for about an hour and a half even after the stay order by the supreme court.

Well, the visit was mainly focused on getting India's support condemning Russia in the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia. But, when the prime minister is back in his own country he was criticised by the lawmakers of his own country who were connecting the dots and posing questions about why did he visited and took photos with the JCB when it was involved in some human rights violation in India just a couple of days ago?

It is obvious when you become a personality even your sneeze is covered by the media. Your life does not belong to you then. There's no private life or you can say your actions get manipulated by what others want, and what others think. And when it involves politics then it becomes a very sensitive and dangerous playground. The opponents and critics are just looking for each and every way to condemn them. I would happily welcome these critics had I been seeing their criticism inclined towards the well-being of the society, had it been giving them the hope of a better future. But if these criticisms have something in common then it is that they all provide hopes of a better future only as one of the last agendas in their playlist and to gain the electoral support as their primary agenda.

The JCB is like has a monopoly in its use for construction and demolitions purpose in India. I wonder was this the Prime Minister Boris Johnson's fault that these JCBs which are manufactured by a British company were used to demolish some illegal structures in an anti-encroachment drive in the capital of India? People nowadays say that "Don't blame the gender, blame the person" or "Don't blame the religion, blame the person" but when it comes to applying the same concept to other places where does your theory sublime?

One of the ways of an efficient Democracy is one that criticises the government for their flaws and the flaws in their proposed bills and provides them an alternative solution. Because it is all focused on the well-being of the society and the citizens.

Thank you.

Have a smiling day, people.
