Padma Award or formula to win elections? Karti Chidambaram raised big questions on the intentions of the government

News India Live, Digital Desk: Every year on the eve of 26 January, when the Padma Awards are announced, the entire country salutes those ‘guddi ke laals’ and great personalities who receive this honour. But, amidst the happiness this time, some political bitterness has also been mixed. Congress MP Karti Chidambaram has raised a sharp question on the intentions of the government.

If you have carefully looked at this year’s list of Padma awards, Karti Chidambaram says that you will notice a special “pattern” in it.

“Where there is choice, there is respect?”

Sivaganga MP Karti Chidambaram has clearly said on social media that he was not surprised to see this list. According to him, the government has given more importance to those people or those states where assembly elections are going to be held in the coming days.

If understood in simple language, their allegation is that the government is trying to woo the voters by giving respect. his point directly Bihar And West Bengal Is towards. Let us tell you that there is a stir for elections in Bihar next year and in West Bengal after that.

competence vs politics

Carti made a very deep point in his statement. He said that earlier Padma awards were given to those people who had a different kind of spirit or “Grit” (determination). They were such people who changed the society without any noise. but now? Now they feel that people from those states are included in the list after searching, who fit into the electoral mathematics of the ruling party.

This time many celebrities have been selected from Bihar and Bengal. However, it would be wrong to say that those who got the honor did not deserve it (like Ghazal emperor Jagjit Singh posthumously or Super 30’s Anand Kumar), but the opposition’s question is about the timing and the intention behind the selection.

this is nothing new

Friends, if we look at it, politics on awards is not a new thing in our country. Every government has been accused of giving awards according to its favorites or its own benefits. But the frankness with which Karti Chidambaram has described it as ‘predictable’ has sparked a new debate in the political circles.

Now it is for the public to decide – is this really just an election strategy, or is it just a coincidence that so much talent has emerged from the electoral states?

Well, politics has its place and respect has its place. But it is certain that this statement has at least added some spice to the sweetness of the Padma Awards.
