To Keep a Clean image

Didi’s trying hard to keep a clean image of her party . She’s reeled off do’s and don’ts to her followers. She’s asked them to behave properly with people and do their duties in panchayet and civic bodies honestly and sincerely with an eye to serve the interest of public. She’s asked them to give an account of their works which she will herself see to. She’s expressed unhappiness over the functioning of some panchayet samities and asked the office bearers to be more careful and sincere. But normally all such good advice fall on the deaf ears of the workers almost in all political parties. They continue to go their own way as usual. Particularly, they can’t afford to be honest and transparent in monetary affairs. Only a few months back Kabir Suman MP of TMC let the cat out of the bag by accusing a TMC leader, even by name, of lack of honesty in financial matters. Only a few days ago Didi’d to warn her very trusted and close associate, an honourable member of Rly committee too, against raising subscription in her name. If such is the morality of top leaders of the party, how can one expect honesty and integrity from its caders?Only relieving feature is the cadres are not that fortunate as leaders in respect of handling money matters and so they might afford to be more honest than their mentors. Another annoying feature is Didi’s a monolithic party where she’s the queen of all she surveys. So how can she monitor herself alone what’s going wrong with her party and bring the wrong doers to book particularly when she’ll come to power? Another disturbing trend is many opportunist elements have already switched over their allegiance to her party sensing there might be change of power at state. So it would be almost an Herculean task for Didi to keep her party even minimally clean in days to come.
