Let there be transparency and accountability

Blame game has become a new norm and this is bad for nation.

It is becoming a trend. People suffer, nation suffers but all we do is a big blame game. Be it administration, governments, politicians, media, police or citizens in general. Instead of taking responsibility and working towards betterment, we start blaming each other.

One can take any happening for example. Be it natural disaster like floods or drought, man made disaster like fire or stampede, corruption, riots, terrorism, social harmony or other similar difficulties faced by nation. All we do - blame. This is not how we make a nation. 

We must understand that blame game will only create negativity. It will only make situation worse. And it only acts like rubbing salt on wounds of suffering people. Just think of people suffering due to scarcity of water or farmers dying due to poverty or women getting raped during riots or agitation and those responsible for making condition better are blaming each other. Nothing can be more cruel.

We must create a system so that :
- There should be continuity of relief and development work. It should not get affected with government change.
- There should be well defined coordination among various government departments and administration.
- There should be well defined coordination between states.
- There should be well defined priorities based on peoples need and suffering.
- Relief work must be time bound and result based.
- Those suffering must have option to seek courts help to make sure relief is up-to the mark.
- There should be option of heavy compensation to people if there is laxity and negligence.
- There should be heavy fine on those found responsible for such laxity and negligence.

We all must give up this rising tendency of playing blame game. We need to put up united effort to eliminate suffering of people and make life better. Let us not blame others but see WHAT I CAN DO FOR MY NATION.
