HON. CHIEF MINISTER OF NCR OF DELHI
Param-Pujaniya Smt. Rekha Guptaji,
II Vande Indraprastham II
II Vande Bharatam II
I wish and pray my humble missive reaches you in your
sanguine mood and ambiance.
After 33 year long stay in the tiny ‘Kingdom’ now
known as NCR of Delhi, now presided over by your majesty, I am bidding my adieu
to this holy piece of Bharata Mata patiently holding and bearing with the largest
concentration of corrupt crooks, traitors and looters of the nation. As if this
is not enough, icing of the cake is widespread rowdyism, fierce road-rage
violence, fake snobbery, vulgur display of wealth and what not.
Your predecessor (I just wish to erase his name from
my memory) had hoodwinked Delhiites to develop it into another Shanghai and
left it filthier than Karachi/Lahore after a long stint. A capital bragging of
highest Per Capita Income and highest literacy rate, fell into his trap so
easily that it stunned all other level-headed ones. I am not inclined to blame
BJP for being out of power in Delhi for decades as Delhiites indeed, didn’t
deserve anything better. Delhi deserved them and they deserved Delhi.
Your Start-up had been in right earnest but now you
too, appear to be falling into the mesmerizing trap of photo-opportunities,
adulation, sycophancy and monarchical disposition. All that is
self-destructive. Just avoid that.
Roads in Delhi shall look like Bollywoodian cheeks
free from garbage dumps only when your ministers start travelling on these on
self-driven bikes instead of sedans and limousines. The day they start working
and living like Sanghi Pracharaks, Delhi shall certainly compete Helsinki,
Copenhagen and Shanghai.
Do you remember the grandiloquent declaration on inauguration
of Metro Railway in Delhi, ‘It shall reduce crowding on roads and DTC buses’ ? What’s
the latest now ? Not only Delhi roads but also metro rails too are overcrowded.
No Master Plan can succeed without De-Congestion Policy as our metro towns are
now living hellholes. Do you possess the ‘Nari-Shakti’ and Matra-Shakti’ to
herald to Delhiites in highest decibels like a tigress zealously guarding her newly
born cubs, “If it is not necessary for you to settle in Delhi, it should be
absolutely necessary for you NOT to settle in Delhi, go back to your hometowns
to settle there” and completey ban construction of all housing projects in
Delhi ? Every other development move shall be reduced to a pathetic mockery by
burgeoning migrants and newer settlers in thousands.
But how will you culturise rowdy Delhiites whom I find
worst of the lot in the country ? RSS and VHP are capable of doing that but
will they ? Will you prevail upon them to undertake the task instead of being busily
engaged in smiling photoshoots, self-adulation and sycophancy ?
I shall be watching your performance from a distance,
from my hometown.
With maximum regards,
Ramakant Tiwari
New Delhi/Bhopal
