Meghalaya CM to much branding to himself and Party
In India, political leaders often take credit for even the smallest government initiatives. However, the term “government” does not refer solely to politicians; it encompasses the collective efforts of bureaucrats and public institutions, all working for the welfare of the people. When political leaders position themselves as the sole authority, it presents a different narrative altogether.
Branding and visibility may be appropriate for a political party’s activities. However, concerns arise when such branding is carried out using public funds or state revenue. This raises important questions about accountability and the ethical use of government resources.
In the state of Meghalaya, the government has been actively implementing various programs and schemes aimed at supporting entrepreneurs, farmers, Self-Help Groups (SHGs), sportspersons, students, and society at large. While these initiatives are commendable, it is often observed that a single political party indirectly takes credit for them, overshadowing the collective efforts behind these programs.
Recently, the Executive Committee (EC) of the GHADC amended the eligibility criteria for contesting MDC elections, mandating that only Scheduled Tribe (ST) candidates are eligible to contest. Notably, the EC is a coalition body. However, the subsequent celebrations were marked by the prominent display of NPP flags across the streets. While there was genuine excitement among the people of Garo Hills, the nature of the celebration appeared politically inclined, leading many to refrain from participating under a party banner.
