Political immaturity of leaders in Tamilnadu

All India-Anna Centenary Library, Kotturpuram - Chennai

The recent announcement of the present chief minister to convert the much talked about public library inaugurated by the previous chief minister with pomp and show into a world class Paediatric hospital has not gone well with the common public.  The flip side is that the same land was earmarked by the present chief minister for a new secretariat when she was in power earlier and for which foundation ceremony was conducted with much fanfare!

The government fell and the new Kalaignar government took over and converted the piece of land into a modern world class library just to defeat the aims of the previous CM in Jayalalitha and for personal ego satisfaction.  Now that Selvi Jaya is back in the saddle, she is hell bent in converting the public library into a paediatric hospital.  The present CM also sidelined the state of art building constructed by the previous incumbent for use as the government secretariat and announced the same to be converted into a modern, public health care hospital. The octogenarian, partially disabled man is shattered and says its vendetta politics!  People are amused to see both the leaders at loggerheads ready to draw a dagger to kill the other at the opportune moment?  It is like a sewing  needle pointing out to a sieve the holes that it has!!!
It has been years and years that both the parties that are seated to rule the state are not seeing eye to eye and ready to avenge whenever the government looses power.  The state is deprived of any developmental activities as most of the time is spent digging at the other's graves to look for any mistakes that the previous government might have done during its rule.
What the leaders must realise is to give and treat the other leaders of other political parties with respect and not interfere in each other's projects and schemes.  They will attract public appreciation if they develop new projects and institutions instead of converting the existing ones built or conceived by the previous regime just to satisfy their personal ego.  The leaders must learn to respect each other and invite each other for their social programmes and other developmental activities.  If these guidelines are followed, Tamilnadu can expect fresh and new developmental projects which will add value to the assets of the state and auger public support!
will the leaders oblige a wish like this from an ordinary citizen of the state?
