Ever since the MODI led NDA government took charge the debate of US Vs THEM has become the central debating point both in the parliament and also on TV channels prime time debates.
Of course at times the US Vs THEM becomes a necessity when those in the governance and the opposition stress upon " WE DID IT"
The most unfortunate part is when Congress led UPA now in the opposition claims that many schemes which they had perceived or thought off or introduced are being copied by the NDA
This childish self acclaimed assertions by the opposition claiming "We did it....." and prompt compatible response by the NDA emphasising that it's during NDA period the things have started to move faster and better efficaciously.
In this melee of US Vs THEM the current issues of ensuring accountability in the current matters, issues affecting the country have taken a back seat.
Even Prime Minister has in recent speech on thanks motion debate on President's address while replying to leader of the Opposition stated that in this Us Vs Them debate often resulting in unfortunate disruption of the Parliament stated that in this peculiar non functioning of the Parliament the accountability of the government officials is obscured to the detriment of the nation.
We have to face the facts. The present NDA led government has to constitutionally run the affairs of the nation till its tenure in 2019.
Let them work unhindered, unobstructed as per law. Let there be more debates on economic policies, national priorities rather than unfruitful voice decibels wasted on "intolerance" etc.
No purpose would be served by discussing the past shortcomings. It's time we live in the moment of present awareness.
The Government of the day too would do well to engage itself on pre poll promises made in the heat of the electoral heat.
