Governors or governance – which change is priority

Post the attacks on Bombay, we are seeing heads rolling. One of the politicians actually spoke that the whole ruling party should resign.

How different would the next ruling party be? Frankly not much. I strongly believe so. For example, there were fingers pointed towards the existing govt. as the sea routes were not guarded properly and hence the attack on Bombay happened? The same politicians who are pointing fingers now, were in power after the ‘93 blasts in Bombay. The ammunition then, came from the sea route. What had they done to protect the sea route? Nothing.

Hence, I do not think heads rolling or changing govt. is a solution. This is an example of a badly run ship in the corporate world; you keep on changing the business head every year and get them to do the same things, expecting dramatic results.

I think the focus should change from the governors to governance. There are key governance issues that need to be addressed. Once these are addressed, then we should find competent leaders to implement.
There has to be stronger governance in education, healthcare, security, employment, infrastructure… the list goes on. I believe this is the time to channel our energies into developing strong governance principles rather than getting plain emotional.
