In today’s time, if one look at the current lot of politicians around us, it is hard to find even one politician who can let go his power and leave his political party just by listening to his conscience call.
But when you see Venod Sharma, a veteran politician and the former minister of Haryana, you immediately figure out that here is leader who is true to his words. Everyone knows that Venod ji- as he is fondly called- was a very powerful minister in the Haryana government. Those who track Haryana politics will vouch for the fact that Venodji was the unofficial second- in- command in Haryana Government.
But hats off to Venodji for not even thinking twice before renouncing his power and position when he found that the Government, in which he is a minister, has become too arrogant and is not living up to the promises it made to the people.
Had Venod Sharma’s only purpose was to enjoy power by being in the government, he would have continued as a minister, without any problem. But Venod Sharma is a man of strong ethics and values, who strongly believes that power come and go but if one looses the support of the people, then it is hard to regain it.
So when Venodji realized that Congress has completely deviated from it’s aims, he left the Government without even thinking about the consequences. He felt that the leaders of the party have become self serving and everyone is busy fulfilling his or her own purpose.
Venodji found that both the government and the party have become completely cut off from the ground realities. He felt that Congressman had no concern for the problems of Haryana. The party leadership was not paying any attention to the issues of the grass root level party workers. During the selection of the leader, party workers were not given any importance and everything happened as per the directions of high command.
It was too much for a leader like Venodji for whom the concerns of people came first before everything else. That is when Venodji took a call that it would be difficult for him to continue anymore in such a hopeless Government and he resigned.
Venodji has always believed in raising his voice against injustice and he is still doing it with same force through his movement called Lok Seva Panchayat. Whether in power or out of it,Venod Sharma will always remain the strongest voice of the weaker and exploited section of the society.
