A speech for the sake of Speech: A Dhapol Shankh Speech

Wish to refer to two speeches

  • One, the most important speech of the decades in Indian Democracy by Anna hazaae after LokSabha requested him to break his fast.
  • Two, a pompous, having no relevance with the need of the hour, full of contradictions, claiming more but solving nothing, a tactics to derail the developments so far - Speech by dear Rahul Gandhi ji.
I suggest you to listen to both as a case model to differentiate  'substance'/'solution' from  'pompous Dhapol Shankh Speech (a speech that seems to promise more and delivers nothing)'. Contradiction listed the letter below:

Dear Sir,
  • In a long list of reform-needy fields which are marred by corruption,  you yourself mention 'electoral system' to be improved. Means electoral system is far from being healthy and need reforms. Very right Sir ! Now, this is despite the fact that there is a constitutional body to regulate the same called "Election Commission". It means even a 'constituinal body' like EC,are prone to be mis-utilized.
  • But, in later part of your speech you advocate as if raising Lakpal to a 'constituinal body' is a game-changer solution to the problem of corruption. Rahul ji, what to speak of Election commissioner, we see today a mis-utilization of even the top most constitutional positions like RashtraPati, Prime Minister and Speakers etc. See how puppets have been set in there today who connive at Govts' wrong doings like 3 monkeys of Gandhi ji - Na dekh bura, na sun bura , na kah bura . The last means taking no strict action against wrong doings.
  • Now we can understand,Sir, why you advocate to raise the lokpal to a constituitional status? Do you wish to bring in a puppet LokPal !! The selction procedure of the  in Sarkaari Lokpal also indicates the same.
  • Even if we assume your suggestion is a solution, bringing  a strict law in place is the first step towards the same! What a constitutional body would do without a strict law to impose and apply? - is the basic question. So why don't you commit to  bring in a strict law (such as JanLokPl Bill) as a first and quick step? Why do slam JanLokpal?
  • 'Lokpal alone is not enough to curb the corruption': Is this a news to you Rahul ji??? That too today, when nation has already discussed so much on the issue??? Anna himself said only 60 % corruption can be curbed by LokPal in Sarkari administration.
  • We need to bring a lot of laws to fully curb corruption - Very right! But, are you ready to even bring the first one i.e. a genuine LokPal?
  • Nation wantes your stand on three issues but you did not touch the same altogether making it irrelevant.
Your speech seems to be an effort by the cong govt to confuse the nation and derail a meaningful process against corruption. Issues of janlokpal and blackmoney seems to have exposed the modus operandi of the Govt!

    1. Very good, i must add here a "shankh" is a conch (a sea shell to make sound) and a "dhapol shankh" is conch which only promises and delivers nothing...there is finest story behind this...I think from panchtantra?
