for our parliamentarians

I am not going to verify if the word Parliamentarians is correct or not. As long as the readers relate to what I have to say. With the verdict out the next round of anticipation is about Jaya, Mamta B and who would be heading which ministry. Before the elected representatives get down to business, I wish they consider my suggestion seriously. We are all aware that organizational development is an important aspect of the growth of an organization. It is widely believed that by revisiting, reframing and agreeing upon the vision of the organization and reflecting upon other important aspects periodically pumps in fresh energy and focus into the organization itself. Given this, is it appropriate to suggest that a similar exercise be conducted for our elected representatives? The vision for India will then not be the stronghold and property of one person or party alone. This exercise has the possibility of bringing in focus in what they do and how they do and possibly up accountability, set new benchmarks and may also help them reflect on the value system. More than this, I have another suggestion. Somebody out there please train them on debating skills. So far, most of our elected representatives believe that flexing decibel and muscle power and tearing a few sheets of papers, marching to the podium and possibly a new addition to the list, creating chaos by sitting on a dharna inside the parliament house is equal to making a point. I'm sure professional debaters disagree with all these. They should be educated into the very purpose of debating, how to keep focus on the issue, have clarity on the fundamental purpose of the debate while striking a balance with the party line, how to listen to others point of view and disagree amicably while being able to suggest alternatives and the list goes on. Our opposition traditionally believe that their purpose of being there is to oppose everything proposed by the treasury benches. the opposition is there to provide a holistic perspective on the proposals or issues. When would they ever understand that? The treasury benches should also be willing to consider alternatives. The spectacle they create while the parliament is in session is not what responsible people representatives should show case. So, who out there is willing to make a proposal to NAMO?
