7 Lesser Known Politicians Who Will Restore Your Faith In Indian Politics

 

Politicians make a lot of promises before elections but once elected, they forget about it.”

I bet we all have said this at least once in our life. Ever since the Republic of India was established and handed over to Indian leaders, people of India have witnessed a huge number of cases of corruption, false promises and poor administration.

But there are a few politicians who break the stereotype. Politicians who go out of their way to serve their country and its people.

So, here is a list of seven politicians who stand out among the pantheon of Indian Politicians:

1. Manik Sarkar

Manik Sarkar, the Chief Minister of Tripura is one of those rare honest politician in recent times. A politician who uses his position, resources, and influence to bring about incredible changes in their respective areas. Like other North East states, Tripura too had been affected by ethnic militancy and Naxal insurgency for very long. Under the sagacious leadership of Chief Minister Manik Sarkar, Tripura became a Naxalite free state.

Some of the major achievements of Manik Sarkar as the CM of Tripura are:

1. Tripura became the state with the highest literacy rate in India.

2. Among all the northeastern states, Tripura is the only state to become completely Naxal free, without using military forces.

3. The concept of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) and Invigorated Private Intervention, particularly in the IT sector was brought in Tripura by the Manik Sarkar-led CPI(M) government.

4. Even after being one of the most disconnected and remote places of India, Tripura became self-sustainable and fastest growing under his administration.

He has been elected consecutively for the fourth term as the CM of Tripura. This is because of his groundbreaking leadership. He is also one of the simplest politicians in India. Sarkar donates all his salary to his party keeping a small amount of 5000/- month. He is also one of the longest-serving Chief Ministers in India.

2. Pawan Chamling

From being a farmer to a revolutionary poet, social worker, and a strong political leader, his journey of becoming the Chief Minister of Sikkim is the most inspiring one. He is the longest standing Chief Minister of any state in India. He has won legislative assembly elections for 5 terms in a row.

Chamling is well-known for his innovative ideas and initiatives raising environmental awareness into people. His two decades of leadership in Sikkim has brought some amazing visible changes in the state. One of them being Sikkim the first fully organic state in India.

Some of the achievements of this inspirational political leader’s career are:
1. He was chosen as the most dedicated CM towards the environmental awareness and sustainable development. He was conferred with the ‘Greenest Chief Minister of India’ award in the year 1999 by CSE.

2. For his outstanding environmental initiatives and ideas, he was personally invited by Arnold Schwarzenegger to attend a Global Summit on Climate Change at Los Angeles. Schwarzenegger was the then Governor of California.

3. He transformed Sikkim into a self-sustainable fully Organic State of India. 

4. He was conferred with Doctor of Philosophy (honoris causa) by Sikkim Manipal University in 2003. This was done for his vision, leadership, and contribution in the betterment of the weaker sections of the society, the backward class and the overall development of the state.

5. He is also an eminent writer and poet. Chamling has received a number of awards like Poets’ Foundation Award, Bhanu Pushkar and Chintan Purashkar for his contribution to Nepali and Hindi literature. He is also known by his literary name Pawan Chamling ‘Kiran’.

The Minister for Finance and Coir in the Kerala State Legislative Assembly Dr. T. M. Thomas Isaac has set an example for all the other politicians in India. He has done this with his innovative measures to revive the financial condition of the state. Isaac is a four-time MLA from Alappuzha constituency. He is also a central committee member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist).

Isaac started working on his first election promise a day before the election results. He and his team planted around 15,000 trees. They promoted organic farming to make the state self-sufficient. For a state like Kerala which largely depends on supplies from other states for its daily needs, it was a big step.

Before becoming the Minister of Finance he was in charge of the People’s Plan Campaign (PPC) in Kerala as a member of the Kerala State Planning Board.

Some of his effective schemes are:

1. The Loan Relief scheme implemented under his administration relieved the poor people who took loans from governmental institutions.

2. The successful Anti-Recession package formed to deal with the financial crisis in the state due to the shrinking remittances from its citizen in the gulf.

He is the founding chief of Biju Janta Dal (BJD) and also a writer of three books. Naveen has often been in headlines for his ruthlessness, not hesitating in dumping ministers and sacking politicians if he finds their conduct inappropriate. 

His pro-poor policies and transparent administration make him a true hero of Indian politics.

Some of his excellent work includes:

1. He introduced a number of schemes that have proved themselves very helpful in uplifting the underprivileged.

The current Chief Minister of Goa, Manohar Parrikar has a very positive record as the Defense Minister of India. He has served two and a half years as the Defense Minister.

Even after becoming the CM of Goa, he continued to live in his own simple house and did not upgrade to a fancier vehicle. Unlike most of the other politicians we have in our country, he doesn’t entertain the VVIP treatment that the ‘Netas’ get.

As the Defense Minister of India, he has made some excellent changes in the defense policies of India:

1. One Rank, One Pension (OROP) was a four decade old dream of the retiring army personnel. Manohar Parrikar finally implemented it in 2015. 

2. He has also succeeded in upgrading the Indian Military. He signed some of the major defense contracts during his tenure. 

3. The Surgical Strike was an unprecedented step taken by Indian Defense that not only broke the age-old trend of playing the victim every time something happens; but also put the faith of people back in Indian army.

His tight 14-16 hour work schedule at the age of 62 is pretty impressive. He also received the CNN-IBN Indian of the year award in 2012.
