Politicians trying to remain relevant
7/11/2023 10:45:34 PM

Throughout history, politicians have often tried to leverage public initiatives and policies to bolster their own standing and remain relevant among their constituents. The situation in Jammu and Kashmir is no exception, where some politicians have always tried taking credit for the steps taken by the Central Government.
A recent example of this is the provision of an additional 10 kilograms of subsidized ration for priority households in the Union Territory (UT) under the Prime Minister’s Food Supplementation Scheme. While credit where credit is due is essential, it is crucial to examine whether these politicians are genuinely advocating for the welfare of their constituents or merely seeking political mileage.
The provision of 10 kilograms of additional subsidized ration for priority households in J&K is undoubtedly a significant step to alleviate food insecurity. It is a part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s efforts to eradicate poverty and uplift marginalized communities throughout India. This initiative aims to ensure that no household suffers from hunger or malnutrition, especially in conflict-affected regions like Kashmir.
However, the current behavior of some Kashmiri politicians raises questions about their motives. It is crucial to differentiate between genuinely assisting in public welfare and politicking. While it is natural for politicians to capitalize on public initiatives to gain support, it should not come at the expense of misrepresenting their own contributions or misleading the public.
Instead of vying for personal accolades, Kashmiri politicians should focus on utilizing their positions of power to amplify the concerns and needs of their constituents. By advocating for necessary infrastructural development, promoting education and healthcare, and ensuring equal opportunities for all, politicians can truly make a positive impact on the lives of J&K people.
Rather than indulging in credit-taking, Kashmir based politicians should channel their efforts into building bridges of communication with the Central Government, fostering cooperation, and ensuring the equitable distribution of resources. They should work towards maintaining a constructive dialogue that addresses the unique challenges faced by the region and leverages initiatives, such as the Prime Minister’s Food Supplementation Scheme, to uplift the impoverished households.
Additionally, politicians should focus on building trust and understanding amongst the people they represent, fostering a sense of inclusivity and unity.
The recent provision of 10 kilograms of subsidized ration to priority households in Kashmir under the Prime Minister’s Food Supplementation Scheme is a laudable step towards addressing food insecurities in the region. However, all stakeholders, including politicians, should stop taking credit for the steps that are being taken by the Centre.
