FLIP SIDE - Ubiquitous leaders

Yogesh Mishra

There are too many politicos who are ubiquitous and you will find them even at those places where they are not supposed to be. But when you ask them about their omnipresence, they will answer gravely – “We are politicians. It is our duty to be present in every appropriate and inappropriate place.” One corporator-turned-MLA from Congress also belongs to the bandwagon of ubiquitous leaders. You can easily identify him even in a thickly crowded place because of his tallness. The people close to him say that he had yet to break the shell of corporator and think big, not just for his ward but for his entire constituency. Dear MLA, whether you are a corporator or a legislator, the issues would be the same, but with your domain expanded, you need to meet the expectations of more number of voters. Make sure, as your past hard work earned you an MLA berth, you do not lose the opportunity for same profile next time due to your existing approach – to be in limelight without work. Remember, sometimes, omnipresence cost dear to oneself as has happened with one of your party’s district-level leaders who had rather been rebuked by senior leaders to control his tongue in public.
