Controversy: Faithful Jisne Loonti, Wo Hi Bewfa Ho

Dr. Jai Narayan Vyas ma nasana so that the hair is washed at a ripe age. Even so, never heard the phrase 'washed head man' referring to this senior citizen. The man is always known as 'the man with the black head', for whatever reason. Vadodara may have received fifteen inches of rain, but it turned more than half of Vadodara into hell. Water rained from the sky. By touching the earth, it became a flood and as soon as this water was low, the big crocodiles reached people's houses by moving around in it. There was an uproar. Further, there is an example of how much the rulers and leadership of Sanskarnagari Vadodara have suffered moral loot. It is said that before the officials, their families were safely transported to Panchtarak (Five Star) hotels but some contract was given for rescue and cleaning. The limit can be reached when this contractor asked to pay only five hundred rupees per day and made local youths of Vadodara wear jackets of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation and make them walk around or float around creating the illusion that they have come from Ahmedabad as a relief team. According to the latest reports, these local youths were disguised but the contractor got screwed without paying a single pai. A writer named Mohanlal Jain has written many things about Aghor Panth in his book 'Aghor Nagara Vage'. It is also mentioned in many other places that the Aghorpanthis bake bread in the fire of a burning pyre during a sadhana. These civic servants of Vadodara are not followers of the government system and those elusive contractors under them, aren't they? Even at the time of such a severe calamity, if we compare these low-level persons with the Aghorpanths, who have the idea of ​​fraud and scams, then this monstrous mentality of the Aghorpanths will be insulted, so when the people of Vadodara use the word 'sanskarnagari' for Vadodara, this black teal on the forehead of Vadodara will look like a big Raniprint rupee. . This is the capital of Sayajirao Gaikwad, this capital of veteran public servants like Makrand Desai, Sanat Mehta, Thakorbhai Patel, Magan Shankar, Nanalal Choksi, Rishi Contractor. Thus, corruption has become a norm over the years, but on such an occasion, when the people of Vadodara are floundering like innocent pigeons caught in a falcon's canal, there is no question of helping them, but more than two dozen boats bought at the cost of crores for the rescue of bread-baking on the support did not run. Who is responsible for it? Once upon a time in Vadodara, during times of scarcity, the horse of the charioteer would get grass. Collectors like Lalit Dalal managed till then. In the mid-1970s, when Gujarat was hit by famine and disaster, it was the same Lalitchandra Dalal, who was then the Chief Secretary of Gujarat, who instructed to carry out this operation on a large scale in the vacant land of GIDC, Nandesari, to grow fodder, and a brilliant collector like Kulinchandra Yagnik successfully executed this operation. At that time, there was no such system as disaster management, but due to its own internal corruption and the ineffectiveness of the government system, Vadodara emerged unscathed from many disasters. At such times, social leaders who started working and civic servants who worked without partisanship were proud of Vadodara. The skeletons remain the same. There are Collectors, both Municipal and Police Commissioners but the commitment of Pella Chandra Yagnik and Lalit Dalal or Makrand Desai, Sanat Mehta, Dr. The generation of public leaders or civic servants who took care that Vadodara did not perish during such calamities like Thakorbhai Patel, Nanalal Choksi faded into the abyss of time. The worst loss is what the following proverb proves: 'If money is lost, nothing is lost, if health is lost, something is lost but, if character is lost, everything is lost.' If money is lost, it is recovered, if health is impaired, time is a definite loss and if proper care is not taken, death is possible, but if character is lost, everything is lost. Remains, deluge. Which was experienced by the people of Sanskarnagari. Vadodara, which is crumbling today, rushes into the mind with a flood of such memories. Somewhere in the distance, a song is playing, the words are something like: Koi muzse pohse, tum mere kya ho? Wafa jisne looti, ​​wo hi bewafa hai.
