Mrs.Mayor Requests for Mr.Husband

ON Wednesday the news papers in the city of Hyderabad carried a “first of its Kind news”; Mrs.Karthika Reddy, the first time and newly elected Mayor of the city, requesting Government of Andhra Pradesh to let her husband to support her in the governance affairs of Mayor's position , till she gains command over the issues.

Fora long time i used to wonder ,how do politicians get to understand their role, profile, responsibilities without any training ,whereas a fresh employee in a corporate needs to take a lot of interest in such things into up right high priority and also needs to succeed in all these is a must.

Indian public have widely witnessed such bizarre exemplaries infinite times in the space of public offices; RabriDevi's episode as Bihar's CM is outstanding one.

1.This episode reflects the nakedness of political parties and exact motive behind the move , who feel proud in promoting "women Cause-holding positions in public offices" and on part of karthika Reddy,its a case of lack of politico-strategic sense and reflects her innocence in making her first steps in public life as a Mayor.

2.The young and debutant Mayor, has actually pressed a right button in a wrong way" a huge need of Training in Administration affairs". what she requested for is a genuine demand for an on-job-training and exposure to administrative affairs and issues of a public office and it is a rarest case of appeal by our elected representatives.

3. The need identification is equally felt by all first time elected representatives and its non-gender issue of any position or any place, but very seldom known to public or representatives demand openly for such need.This is almost a non-issue, in most of the instances /cases ,as the husbands of the elected representatives run a parallel show and Indians have come to its terms a long time back and has been part of public administration culture,practices and places-urban, rural.Metro.

4. The damage she made is more than one way to look;

-One, she has hampered the image she bore as a women Candidate/Representative in a public office and brought down respect to the position and Chair of Mayor.

-Two,she openly brought the unconditional nexus that exists between power and lobbying ,especially if wife and husband both have public life and a career in politics.

-Three, She herself has let the public to feel the fishy behind the doors and let the opposition parties here after to doubt and scrutiny each of her decisions unnecessarily.

5. The right way to make such claim, she could have approached administrative colleges for training or suggestion or for any other support rather than seeking government to let her husband to hold the position. Or else she could have silently managed the issue by following many others alike her, Shadow-governance is a open secret the Indian public is aware of and accepted too.

Who cares......... Right?!!!
