Sarva Daksha was a leader of the people in a city called Gangadevinagar. Every time the people elected him their leader. He knew all the strategies for winning the election. He was unrivalled in the domain of politics. He, therefore, posed superior to other leaders.
During elctions, the people were offered notes for the pocket and drinks for their intoxication. They voted for Sarva Daksha without realizing their rights in democratic nation. They sloganeered tearing their throats,
“Sarva Daksha is our leader…our beloved leader…
“He is the God-sent leader in the welfare of all of us…
“He is the friend of not only the poor but also the rich…
“Every election season is a fest…a grand fest once in five years…
“He is the host, and we are his guests during the fest…
“He offers scintillating notes and mouth-watering food items with intoxicating drinks…Indeed, enjoyable amd memorable…
“All freebies for all of us…Who offers freebies andschemes? It is only the leaders like Sarva Daksha.”
The people of Gangadevinagar in course of time realized Sarva Daksha’s faults during the election every time. They never understood the vote bank politics then. He offered the people currency notes, filling their pockets and bottles for their dozing in intoxication to win the election. There were mass attraction schemes for temporary benefits. He and his like never thought of long-term goals like the establishing of industries, factories and projects as the people were happy with the short-term goals and freebies. He was ever a winner in the election. He underrated all other leaders, as their winning the election was not certain. His election every time created a hat-trick in the history of elections in the city.
Under the lifelong leadership of Sarva Daksha, the people blindly believed that he was a great leader. Time in its incessant flow taught them the bitter facts. When they realized that they did not reach their goals like employment to stand on their own feet. There were corruption and inflation beyond limits. They realised his faults as a leader. They did not learn the fact that they were facing many problems under his leadership.
The people from all the streets of Gangdevinagar assembled and resolved for the inevitable revolution on their part. They discussed it in many ways in quest of a new sunrise:
Sarva Daksha has made us fools all these years... We are blind to what he has been doing for many years... How long should we be fools...? How long should we become victims to him...?
Let’s be sworn in to be loyal to the soil.
So far, we ‘ve lived in darkness, let’s see light, a new sunrise in our lives
Let's wake up to the realities...the hard realities...the naked truths...
Let's realize our responsibilities towards duties as humans, frring us from provovocations and false imitations...
Let's not welcome his election the next time...when he is a leader of evils and crimes, scams, and violence...
What we need is that we should unite to fight against injustice...
When faults or pitfalls are there in the leader, it is the faults or pitfalls of the people... We as the people are responsible for all those defects...
In the democratic set up, our leader is as per our qualities... We aren't like the leaders... Leaders are like us as they are elected by us... 'yadha praja thadha raaja'. We elect our leader as per our principles and aims at the welfare of the people. It's against yadha raaja, thadha praja as we elect our leader in the democratic set-up... We should elect a good leader this time to see us in a better position. It's the responsibility on the shoulders of the people-elect leader. This time, let's elect a good leader as per our choice...
We should be against false temptations and provocations...
We should be against deception, corruption, and exploitation...
No bribery, offered in offices to get the work done...
We shouldn't allow any rigging in the election... For all these reforms, we should vote for a good candidate...
First, we shouldn't have faults... We shouldn't have differences among ourselves...We should examine ourselves... and correct our fauts.
All of us are one...We're one...We should have unity to fight against communal feelings and caste prejudices like the people in Gangadevipally village, the most ideal village in the nation...
Ours is Gangadevinagar that is very much bigger than Gangadevipally. We should be broader in our outlook. We should be human and humanistic in every step... We should be higher than its people are...
In fact, Gangadevipally must be our example...an inspiration...a model for us...It's a village with a big name... Ours is a big city with the same name...It should be a prestige question for all of us...
To elect the right leader in the right way is our birthright...
... ... ... ... ...
In the wake of their unanimous resolution, there was a sudden transformation in the people. The city was heading towards progress...It was very peaceful... It did not let any evil happen. All had unity to fight against all evils. The clashes that had been there earlier did not take place. The people were not ready for bribery in the offices. There was a change in them in all respects. There was a silent revolution in the minds of all the people of Gangadevinagar against the leader, Sarva Daksha.
The leader Sarva Daksha was not able to digest the revolutionary changes in the public. The unprecedented revolution left the leader restless. He fell into a series of thoughts. He evolved the new strategies, but he was doubtful about his success in the election.
The negative waves started to blow from all directions against the leader, Sarva Daksha and his false tactics of schemes... He felt nervous about the on-going silent revolution.
Sarva Daksha contacted his supporters in all the places. He did not get any correct information. He learnt that they did not for him. They decided to defeat him in the forthcoming election. They therefore did not care for the leader. The situation was stunning for him. When there was no alterbativre, he was serious in his thoughts and plans. He diffused powerful goons in every street to scare the people.
The goons met the people in every street to find out their secret plans. Sarva Daksha ordered them to foil the plans of the people of revolution.
'What’re you planning against Sarva Daksha...?' said the goons.
'We’re planning to defeat him this time...,' said the people.
'Do you know what will happen if you plan to defeat him?' said the goons.
'We’ll be successful, and he'll learn bitter lessons...,' said the people.
‘You’re going to face bad consequences…Your lives will be in desert sans oasis…,’ said the goons.
'We're ready to face any kind of situation...We're for the right cause... We've the support of all the people...We've unity... None can question our unity...' said the people collectively.
'Why do you reap bad consequence...?' said the goons.
'For the welfare of the people, we're ready to face any kind of consequences...' said the people confidently.
'You aren't all the people...All the people are not here...,' said the goons.
'We're the representatives of all the people from all the streets of the city, Gangadevinagar... We're the voice of the people...We’re the pulse of the people... We're the spirit of the people's revolution,' said the people.
'I see...Your bodies will float on the Bay of Bengal...,' said the goons.
'Let our bodies float on the Bay of Bengal...We're ready to die for the welfare of our city, Gangadevinagar,' said the people.
'You cry over split milk after the failure of your plans...,' said the goons.
'We're going to win the case...Sarva Daksha is not going to win,' said the people.
'We're going to offer ten lakhs for each vote…Offer drinks they can swning in toxication ... In your welfare, we advise to withdraw your plans,' said the goons in the high pitch to scare the people.
'We're for the revolution... for the right cause... We're for our revolution to change Sarva Daksha,' said the people.
All the people had unity for the goal of turning their city model. They had no second opinion about it. When they saw the unity of the people..., the goons ran away despite having bombs in their pockets.
The elections were fast approaching. The people were very careful about their principles in going against the evil practices of Sarva Daksha. When they saw a van coming with liquor bottles, they stopped it and burnt all the bottles. Even the drunkards were cooperating with them in the revolution.
The secret agents came there to circulate money, two thousand cureency notes to each of the voters. They came in a jeep with bundles of notes. The people burnt the notes in the presence of the secret agents. The plans of Sarva Daksha failed.
The election took place on the day of poll peacefully. The people were watching even the polling personnel. At every step, they saw the elections conducted smoothly.
The supporters of Sarva Daksha tried rigging but failed miserably, as their number was very less. The people became stronger to oppose the evil practices.
Sarva Daksha was defeated. He lost his deposit. He felt the defeat very much insulting. He went to Goa to hide himself from the public for a long time.
The people elected the leader, Janaprem who was ready to devote his time or sacrifice his life for the development of the city, Gangadevinagar.
It was the success of the people... It was the consensus of the people...It was the verdict of the people. Everything turned democratic to make the corrupt leaders feel ashamed of contesting the election and showing their faces to the people in the election everywhere.
The people wanted their city, Gangadevinagar to be on the lines of Gagadevipalli, the most model village in the nation. Here after, Gangadevinagar is also the most model city in the nation to set an example for other cities.
The people did not give any chance for rigging for Sarva Daksha. When they elected a new leader, there was no trivial trinity of corruption, deception, and exploitation. The people in the city were not ready for bribery.
There were no social evils and false practices like ragging in schools and colleges and ragging in colleges. There were no rapes and no incidents of violence as the people minded Ambedkar's theory of trinity: liberty, equality, and fraternity. They saw a new sunrise. To speak in brief, Gangadevinagar was peaceful on the lines of Gangadavipally. It was the most welcome chapter in the history of the city.
