For millenniums, India
has remained shrouded in mystery. Indian rope trick magician to Anna
Hazare, the mystical, philosophical and religious Gurus of India have
attracted inquisitive minds. From the ancient Chinese traveller Faxian
to the Beetles and even Apple’s Steve Jobs found their inspiration from their
Indian Gurus. Now, there is a Politician Saint from India, the world leaders
confronted with the Occupy Wall Street, can learn something from.
Mr Oommen Chandy,
who installed a webcam
in his office for transparency of his administration, will no doubt abhor being
called Oommen Swamy or Chandi Baba like an Indian saint, because he is only an
elected Chief Minister of the tiny state of Kerala in India ,
equivalent to the Governor of a State in the US .
However, for a large section of the population who is ready to patiently wait till
the wee hours of the night for speaking to the Chief Minister, Mr Chandy
is fast becoming something of a saint people line up in endless queue for an
audience with!
The reason is Mr Candy is determined to
take his power as a Chief Minister, bestowed upon him by ordinary people
through a democratic election, to the very people, cutting through the red
tapes, to order immediate and on the spot resolutions to their problems.
In fact Mr Chandy and his
Government with its
efforts to run a transparent and corruption free administration is already
a role model for other Indian States and his own office fitted with a round the
clock webcam has attracted world attention.
Why Mr Chandy may be fast acquiring
the status of a Indian Guru of modern politics is his unique approach to
solving people’s problems. Unlike the
world leaders who struggle to somehow disperse the masses of a generation,
brought by their individual problems and hardship to the Occupy
Wall Street venues, the CM actually invites them
to assemble with their long pending and unsolved issues to specially
organised venues he calls Chief Minister’s Mass Contact programmes!
The entire administration is
moved to the spot, ready to process and dispense fiscal and legal succour
allowed by government rules and existing law, but denied to the applicant by
the web of red tape and corruption. People are invited and encouraged to
register with their complaints and paperwork which are processed ahead of the
programme, ready for an on the spot decision by the CM. Those who can’t can
present on the day and still get answers.
However what makes Mr Chandy
endearing to masses is his true desire to be amongst the masses, his patience
to hear them out and his genuine concern to solve their issues. It is really
amazing to see how he stands and moves around a milling crowd of all kinds of
people listening, making his notes on the petitions, giving orders of urgent
medical help and issuing cheques till the wee hours, without food or rest. His
promise is to meet the last applicant and he keeps it no matter how late in to
the night!
All leaders are popular but some
are more popular because of their saintly nature!
