two leaders

in recent past we have seen two leaders in limelight facing failures but reaction has been very different.
the first one was the home minister, Mr Chidambaram. CRPF lost their ground in one of the worst incidents in anti naxal operations. there is still lot about it, which is not yet known and probably will never be known to public. but the reaction of the home minister was to resign. it was rejected by his leaders. all this appeared to be a well calculated political step. he is politician and he is supposed to do politics. but i think there should be some line drawn between the role of the politician and the role of a minister. i dont know how much he gained from the resignation. a strong reply should have been given by the minister not in words but by the action. the very next day the heat should have been turned on naxal. this would have done all the needful. more than a week has gone by and there is only words going round. anyway i should not comment much about it.
next was the one seen in case of failure of indigenous cryogenic engine launch. withing minutes the failure was evident. whole nation was waiting to rejoice. it was vishu, Malayalam new year. but we failed. not due to something else but due to out own mistakes. being in scientific research i can imagine how much it takes to make a experiment successful. but what whole nation was watching was not an experiment but outcome of experiment of 18 years. when chandrayaan was successful ISRO was praised naturally the blame will also follow for their failure. thinking that scientist are selfless devoted person, people are not even thinking of commenting against it. it should be aske dnot for blame game but for the improvement.

i think the worse was what followed after that. ISRO director said that we will send another cryogenic within an year. we know how much time it takes to set up a launch vehicle. it appeared that everyone, including director, was visibly perturbed. there should not be any decision made in such state of mind. no announcement should be made. anyway the words are out and i hope i will be prooved wrong by the determination of the scientist at ISRO. otherwise, it can be told that there was no commitment made and there are understandable problems in achieving it. any delay beyond an year will strengthen my opinion that even the head of such a organisation dont give value to their own words. what value should we give to their words. i dont say that they are not sincere. but i think leader, at the helm, should always weigh their words and deed. they are being watched by many, may be unconsciously.

so both the learder missed the mark to set an example. all this is my personal opinion.
