NCP Wants Sharad Pawar to be Prime Minister

Lok Sabha elections are fast approaching in India. And that means every party in town wants to flex its muscle, by projecting its candidate as the potential Prime Ministerial candidate. So why should the NCP be left behind. According to a recently published report, NCP wants Sharad Pawar to be the next Prime Minister of India.

All this reminds me of a scene from the movie Braveheart. Below is what Mel Gibson aka William Wallace says to the gathered Nobles and Earls:

"You think the people of this country exist to provide you with position. I think your position exists to provide those people with freedom."

If only our politicians and political parties understood this basic truth of a democracy that positions are created to further peoples interests and not further a certain politician or political parties interests, we would be so much better off.
