🔥 THIS IS NOT GOVERNANCE. THIS IS CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT.

India today is surrounded by emergencies — real ones, measurable ones, deadly ones.
The air is toxic.
The food is compromised.
Roads are killing people.
The rupee keeps sinking.

And yet, Parliament’s attention is fixed elsewhere.

A multi-party parliamentary panel is currently at work to introduce reservations in private universities — a politically explosive, electorally lucrative subject — while crises that threaten human survival and national stability remain unattended.

This isn’t a coincidence.
This is priority engineering.

💥 THE CRISIS STACK — WHAT ACTUALLY DEMANDS URGENT ACTION

1️⃣ AQI Above 1000: A Public health Emergency Ignored
In many cities, air quality has crossed levels considered hazardous even for short exposure. Children, elderly citizens, and those with respiratory conditions are paying the price — with lungs, lives, and long-term health. Where is the emergency legislation? Where is the war-footing response?

2️⃣ Food Adulteration: Slow Poison, zero Outrage
Milk, oil, spices, and fruits — contamination and adulteration have become routine. This isn’t a scandal anymore; it’s a silent epidemic. The state’s response? Occasional raids. Temporary outrage. No structural crackdown.

3️⃣ Roads That Kill, Bridges That Collapse
People don’t “meet with accidents” — they are failed by infrastructure. Potholes, unfinished flyovers, and collapsing bridges. Deaths are written off as fate, not criminal negligence.

4️⃣ Rupee in Freefall
A falling currency increases inflation, raises import costs, and erodes household savings. This impacts every Indian, rich or poor. Yet there is no national consensus meeting, no emergency economic roadmap.

⚠️ AND YET, THIS IS THE PRIORITY

5️⃣ Reservation Policy as the Political Comfort Zone
Reservations are not a trivial subject. They deserve debate, data, and seriousness.
But the timing matters.

When existential issues are burning, focusing legislative energy on vote-consolidation policies reveals the real motivation: electoral arithmetic over national health.

6️⃣ Why This Keeps Happening
Because:

• • pollution doesn’t vote

• • Food safety doesn’t mobilize blocs

• • Road deaths don’t translate into slogans

• • Currency values don’t chant back

But identity politics does.

7️⃣ election Cycles Have Hijacked Governance
Every major policy conversation today is filtered through one question:
👉 How does this affect the next election?

If the answer is unclear, it waits.
If the answer promises votes, it moves — fast.

🧠 THE BIGGER, UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH

India doesn’t lack intelligence, data, or solutions.
It lacks focus.

A state that responds faster to opinion polls than pollution indices has already revealed its priorities.

This is not about being for or against reservations.
This is about what gets urgent attention when everything is on fire.

🧨 FINAL WORD

A government’s true priorities are visible not in speeches, but in what it chooses to work on first.

When:

• People are choking

• eating poison

• dying on roads

• losing economic ground

…and the political system remains consumed by electoral math, the message is unmistakable:

👉 The focus is not the country.
The focus is on the next election.

And a nation run that way doesn’t collapse overnight — it erodes, crisis by crisis, while politics stays comfortably busy.
