The 13th Leadership Lecture at T A Pai Management Institute (TAPMI), Manipal, was organised on February 25. The topic for this Leadership Lecture, which was delivered by BJP national spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman, was Does India need good politicians or good political parties. Dr Ramdas M Pai, chancellor of Manipal University, presided over the function, while Dr R C Natarajan, director of the institute, set the tone for discussion.
In her leadership lecture, Smt Sitharaman brought out the definition of a politician by quoting leaders like Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln. She quoted that India, like every other country, needs good politicians and good political parties. A good politician contributes to his/her political party which further results in nation building.
There were thought-provoking questions from students which kept the speaker engaged throughout the discussion. Questions ranged from whether the political system was at fault or if it provides any valuable contribution to the country. Students expressed deep anguish held by the population against politicians and the political system at large. There is a general perception prevalent that the political system, politicians and the political parties have failed. To this, the speaker responded that it was a collective failure of all three and no one factor could be singled out.
Questions were also raised to the role of political parties when it comes to dealing with incidents like the recent Hyderabad blasts. She said political parties are answerable to the public, but regardless of whatever stand political parties take, there is always unavoidable criticism associated with it. She addressed queries like if there was an ideal stage wherein it is feasible to maintain a clean political party. To this, she maintained that Indian philosophy is based on taking the median path, and not by taking extreme stands.
The 13th Leadership Lecture came to its end after an enriching discussion carried forward by the speaker, faculty and students.
