Dear Prime Minister,
The entire nation is leading to a mega transformation that will metamorphose an extremely corrupt and defunct system you are heading for over seven years. Under your leadership, many ministers have hustled public money so ruthlessly that I have no bad words to narrate their darkest intensity. Be it Raja's involvement in 2G scam or Kalmadi's in CWG, you have been a silent observer to the lowest point in democracy, when a serious horse trading banged the floor of the Parliament during UPA I. In all your heart and soul though you realise what's happening around you, I am not only surprised but equally disturbed and pained to notice your callous behaviour towards the demand of civil society for eradicating corruption, in whatever form, from this country. In all these years, post your entry into politics, you have certainly forgotten your values and ethics that you once carried along till you catapulted from a civil servant to a politician. Probably your greed for the highest position in a democracy has shadowed your conscience and you are in a state of megalomania.
But remember Sir, the luxury of being the prime minister of the largest democracy of world is not eternal. Even the most powerful political dynasty in Independent India has failed to maintain the continuum. The time is not so far from now when the same political party, for which you have ditched your consciousness, will ditch you when their candidate for the top job is ready to take over. You will be then a member of the same pedestrian that a common Indian citizen is treading. You will not be a part of the same power circle that you are enjoying now because primarily you are not a politician and in all these years you have never been elected to the Parliament even once by the mandate of people, secondly, you don't have clout in the system, which will support you even if you are not in power. Remember, you are just a puppet of an empress and this impression is loud and clear in public domain. Your careless attitude towards the grave concerns of civil society during this anti-corruption crusade has made it much clear that you will never be disloyal to a political party despite what may come, but at the same time you can ignore your responsibility to billions of citizens of this country. That's the reason why people don't consider you either an honest politician or a charismatic statesman.
Sir, this is the high time you must come out from the cocoon of power and luxury and just experience an unprecedented movement that's spreading like a wild fire, not only in India, but outside the country as well. Citizens of this country have provided extraordinary solidarity to a cause that your administration should have looked into well before. People of this country don't expect much from you other than a holistic Lokpal bill that will be powerful enough to curb the rampant corruption autonomously.
Sir, fasting over 75 hours the 72-year old Gandhian activist, Anna Hazare, is fighting for demolishing corruption and thousands of people from all walks of life are joining his crusade with the same indomitable spirit, you have given a deaf ear to the rational protests of civil society. And if the echoes are not reaching you yet, this could be a dangerous proposition for the existence of this government and your position as prime minister as well. Wake up Mr Prime Minister, lest the citizens of this country boycott the political democratic system sine die.
Yours sincerely,
An honest citizen
Excellent
