The Honey and Poisonous Aspects of Power (6/1/2019)

Power is an essential aspect of life that is needed from personal to collective life. A physically powerless man can not move a little though he is a millionaire or billionnaire in this world. In all stratum of society there are some people to exercise power for discipline and peace, assigned following some rules and acceptable to society to cooperate them for mutual betterment. Without responsibility we find none especially in a democratic society various authorities are to work for the welfare of all people of the society. There are two aspects of power when it is used in good work then it is honey to the user as well as to the beneficiary but when any abuse of power is seen then it becomes poisonous for the power user because the power is endowed only to do good work and when it is equitably applied then it is justified positively. One of the important task of government is application of power impartially so none can raise any question about integrity of government.Our honourable Prime Minister has rightly considered power as responsibility if this concept works at all levels of party and government this will be better for our politics and government. But the dangerous side is this during last ten years who have become more benefitted materially by anymeans will they stop their race? It is very tough to be positive because without political leaders help majority people do not get service from our bureaucracy. The upazilla level police administration can not work impartially without interference of political activities of upazilla level. Moreover, a cotractual system between police and local political activists work from where it is very difficult to get service from 'Thana' is mentioned for example. Governments many good programmes earn blame due to anomaly of local level political leaders and activists. Administration moves when it is recommended by party stalwarts of same level or of top level. This situation conspicuously stands against development administration and the permanent declaration of the constitution of Bangladesh. The ongoing bureaucracy of Bangladesh is not capable enough to feed the demand of common citizen of Bangladesh impartially because of poisonous partisan politics that create clear wall and loss its significance though it is an essential instrument for running modern states. Though political government is determined to give service to the people but the unholy alliance between local level political activists and local administration is a main bar to acquire popularity. Government must study the whole situation with the help of non-partisan acceptable people of society. Government must be careful of the activities of local political activists and to control the local administration scientifically without any bias. An impartial promotion system for government officers will increase their morale at own job and non-partisan efficient government officers will have wider scope to contribute to the nation.The popularity is one of the main capital of political party and it can be achieved by the good behaviour of political activists of the grassroot. In this connection huge training arrangements to be designed to change the negative mindset of them. The change should be started from human being. The grassroot level political activists require qualitative change in their mental formation to enhance popularity of government among people. Only conducting development work will not be enough because most of the people want to see good governance otherwise, the power will see its poisonous aspect. We must remember power is given only to do good work. May Allah bless us all and do not include us among the wrong doing people.
