They say politics has numerous colors to it.

You never know when a politician takes a u-turn and the whole politics changes upside down. But then as we know, Karma is a bitch. What goes around comes around! In India IAS and IPS are ideal job profiles, as every parent dreams of their children becoming the one because according to them it is the best job to have.

But the present state actually expresses a totally different scenario.

There have been so many IAS and IPS officers who have fallen prey to the dirty politics. If we rewind a little bit, there have been many cases when these officers have suffered a lot. Some of them have even lost their lives in the name of encounters. Their only mistake was they raised voice against corruption and the system.

This time, the person is Ashok Khemka. Ashok Khemka came in the limelight when he took a strong action against Robert Vadra and cancelled the land deal of 3.5 acres in November 2012. The important thing is Robert Vadra is the son-in-law of the Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Congress Government was the ruling party at that time. This strong decision of Khemka was like a shout against corruption that is steeped in very deep in our country.

Well this time, Khemka has again fallen prey to another politician’s action. Khemka was posted as a transport commissioner at the Transport Department of Haryana Department. While the Transport Minister of Haryana allowed the entry of overloaded trucks in the state, Khemka refused his order and in turn, had to face an immediate transfer. Now, Khemka is transferred to a low profile post of a Secretary in the Archeology and Museums Department. In his 24 years old career, he has been transferred for 45 times now. It’s like every time he voices out against corruption, he has to pay for it.

The irony of the situation is, during the Robert Vadra case, BJP came forward to take a stand for him but now when this all happened under the BJP government itself, there can be number of questions raised against the politicians and their corrupt ideas. Seems like, every time an officer tries to do something good for the country their voice and actions are muffled by the hands of the corrupt politicians.

Khemka also tweeted his reaction on the social networking site raising a question against the system.

Tried hard to address corruption and bring reforms in Transport despite severe limitations and entrenched interests. Moment is truly painful

We would like to ask the government that until when the bureaucrats, who abide to serve the nation at the grass root level will be the mere puppets of the politicians and their dirty politics?

India did well in the recently concluded Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.

Even though the gold count was less (15), the players had a good showing with some new faces impressing one and all.

Thus, the ‘same old story’ begins with our medal winners returning home to rousing welcome and upon that, the State Government or the National Ruling party announces cash rewards to the winner or a job in the services.

To begin with, that’s not bad at all but slowly and steadily, it turns out be a hoax call.

Many have been duped over the period and one being amongst them is the recent silver medallist, Anisa Sayyed.

The shooter, who was also a winner the 2010 CWG, clinched silver in the just-concluded edition in Glasgow.

In 2010, she was promised a job in the government but is still waiting for it. For the past three years, the Haryana government is yet to fulfil Anisa’s job aspirations, leaving the champion shooter with no option but to voice her aggravation.

In an interview to the press the 33-year was quoted, “I have been waiting for three years, waiting for that promised job. But it has still not seen the light of the day. If they think I don’t deserve this then they should not keep me waiting. That’s not fair on an athlete who has and continues to strive for international success.”

Her woeful plight was that the Haryana state government’s job hoax has yet to see the light of the day. After her 2010 exploits, Anisa Sayyed was offered a job by the Hooda-led government due to which the former quit the Railways job and also ignored the interest from Maharashtra government.

Is this what our medal hopefuls are fighting or slogging out for?

Our ‘daze’ government hardly puts a thing right and with such shoddy work, who would want to believe in their words. Anisa is not the only one to be hard done by!

Ace shuttler Sania Nehwal was amongst these deceptive appeals from the government. After winning a bronze at the 2012 London Olympics, the then chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, N Kiran Kumar Reddy had announced a prize-money of Rs. 50 lakh for Nehwal but after the Telangana separation, the Hyderabad-born did not receive the cash reward.

State Governments from across the country announced various cash rewards and prizes for our medal winners after the latter’s heroics at the Commonwealth Games.

But one question for the government – where were you when they needed the most?

Where are the facilities and practice grounds?

Do they know who the hell is Sita Sahu and what she is upto?

Sita Sahu was a two-time bronze winner at the 2011 Athens Special Olympics and now sells gol-gappas and papdi chats on the streets. Sita is one of the many athletes in India who is forced into poverty due to the appalling work rate of our government. Atleast, the likes of Sita can run their homes and families rather than rotting on and living a stricken life.

‘Acche Din’ is what PM Narendra Modi promised to the nation prior taking the chair.

As of now Modi must ensure that our athletes receive the top-most facility to work upon and the most importantly, the financial support which is lacking.

If both the needs are in place, a top-four finish in the Rio Olympics is not far away!

Believe me, nobody can stop Indians!
