Elected Vs Selected

Let me tell you a story. It was a long time ago, there was a hamlet far from anything luxurious, colourful and happening settlements. People in the hamlet were living naturally away from humdrum of the city. It was so remote that you have to take a trail through the forest to reach there. The village lacks of road, electricity and Usable water. There was person called Jagan in that village, once his mother has stomach ailments. He must take his mother to the nearest city to get her treatment done. But as there is no road connection, he with some the villagers took the sick mother on foot. Due to the delay of reaching to the hospital her situation went critical and after couple of hours of struggle she deceased right there. Now years have passed Jagan has a Successful well-settled business. But not everything has rosy picture after so many years. Jagan's village still lacks the basic amenities i.e. road, water, hospital, school. In the memory of Jagan's mother, he with the help of villagers has built a hospital in the village, where people would get the basic healthcare facility.

This was not a liability of Jagan, In fact it was the job of selected representative. But he took the lead and made that thing happen.   

This is just a story but in real world these things prevail as well. Just take a Look at Corona Migrant Crisis. As country reels from the effects of a nationwide lockdown. Here are some heartwarming stories of people going the extra mile to help someone out.

1. Sonu Sood

This bollywood actor is not going to stop until he helps every migrant worker reach their homes. He has helped migrants to reach home by arranging every mode of transport you can think of. Sonu Sood has turned out to be the real-life hero for the migrant workers and his fans are in awe of him. He has arranged Buses, Trains and even chartered flights for migrants, so that they can safely go back to their states.

2. Chhayarani Sahu

She is a farmer by profession, hails from Odisha. She has been growing vegetables on acres of farm. Despite being a farmer she came ahead to help the needy Villagers. She distributed packaged vegetables in the time of lockdown. which she could have been sold in the market but she chose to distribute those in this time of crisis. She and her family members have distributed over quintals of fresh vegetables in nearby villages.

3. Vikas Khanna

He has provided over 10 millions of meals in the time of lock down. His hunger mission was all over the India which was over 100 cities. He helped Not only with foods but also with the Rations like Rice, lentils flour, to old-age homes, orphanages and other needy.

4. Noida Roti Bank

This is an initiative started by joining hands of locals. It was  started with 400 Rotis from three societies initially. As the time progressed people voluntarily helped and donated home made Rotis, which later distributed to the needy people.By now they have Distributed over 2 million Rotis, which is just outstanding.

There are many more examples where people came forward with the warm gesture of donating food, money, essential goods, help. They didn't had any obligations to serve or help the migrants' plight, instead they did. Now in the other-hand we have elected representatives in India. We have close to 4900 elected representative if we count all the MPs and MLAs in the states. They have been bestowed with great power and perks. Duty of an Elected is to serve the people but we didn't get to see that in this pandemic. If these celebrities and layman can help by joining hands, why not our mighty leaders can.

 both selected and elected should step up, so that it will be easy to mitigate the plight of migrants. In the Difficult time it needs to be all hands on deck.
