I can tell you one more example, Mr. Santosh Gangwar, who was a Minister of state in Petroleum & Natural gas ministry ,Government of India and was an example for simplicity. He tried to make easy availablity of LPG in the country.He issued maximun no.of LPG connections from his quota.His door was open to 'common' man.
We need more and more Namboothiripads, Jijkars & Parrikars ...... to make our Parliament GREAT.

Instead of advocating for individuals of our choices, we should come out with contributions of real heros, above their political stand since all parties are for reformation as per their policies.
Have a nice day....

He has brought Mr. Robert Rebeiro as Commissioner of Police to Mumbai to clean the City. After his term completed he traveled by BEST bus to his home. As a minister he used to use Public transport systems for his travels. He was also the President of NSUI while in the college. But the nature was so cruel that it snatched him away at the age of 46.

My reply was in the context of Parrikar... People should know he is not a pioneer and there were others who blazed a trail for others to follow like EMS much before....... Rgds

Mr. Narayanan Can you sincerely analyze yourself, how much your earning you donate or give to others?Mr. EMS has donated his property to the Party and not to any organisation to feed poor.Moreover the property he had from his ancestors and not by himself.

There is nothing new in it. Do you remember one Gentleman called Mr E M Shankaran Namboothirippad, the first non-Congress Chief Minister of Kerala. He always used to travel like a Commoner carrying his own baggage. He used to walk to the Bus Stop and travel by Bus too. I have seen this as I used to work at the Airport. I have seen him several times. Not once or twice. Do you also know, he donated all his property to the Party.
How many of our to-day's Politicians can do it including Mr Manohar Parrikar!!!!!!!!!!!

Subject: [www.keralites.net] Wish we had every CM like him in India - The most humble CM Goa CM flies the way you and I do.While returning to Delhi from Goa yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised to find the chief minister of Goa, BJP's Manohar Parrikar, on the same flight. No, this isn't the first time I was on board with a CM, a senior minister or a politician. But what I saw - right from the time he boarded the aircraft till the moment he exited the airport building at New Delhi - impressed me so much that it has stayed with me till now and has made me write this piece.I tried to remember when was the last time I saw a CM or a senior political leader of Mr Parrikar's stature queuing up like a common man to board a flight. No flunkeys, no security, no attendant, carrying his own luggage - and he was flying economy on a low-cost carrier, not first-class on a full services airline. He wasn't the last to enter the flight nor was the flight held up for him to arrive. ![Fun & Info @ Keralites.net]() He walked into the Go Air aircraft like any average passenger, almost unnoticed, and well in time. Like everyone else, he queued at the gate, boarded the bus, and climbed into the plane when his turn came. He didn't sit in the first row which has become the exclusive preserve of the high and mighty on flights that have no first class. He quietly slipped into row three (or was it row four) and sat there without any fuss. I think most people on the aircraft didn't realise who he was and therefore no attempt was made to mob him or try and catch his attention. The cabin crew spent no more time attending to him than they did to any other passenger.When I shared this with a colleague who was travelling with me, he said, "I am sure the airline would have left the seat next to him unoccupied or his office would have booked two seats so that he is not disturbed." But when I went to attend to nature's call, I realised on my way back that this was not the case. All seats in his row were occupied and absolutely no special privilege seemed to have either been demanded or offered. Yes, he did have an aisle seat - as did two people in every row. When the flight landed in Delhi, he wasn't the first to get off it. Usually, it is only when the VIP is ushered into a special car waiting for him at the tarmac (with a suitable red light mounted on the roof of the car), that the other passengers are allowed to deplane. In this case, neither was he the first to disembark, nor was there a car waiting. Nobody came to receive him on the tarmac and he boarded the same bus which took all other passengers to the airport terminal. Again, he carried his own luggage (two pieces) right up to the car which came to fetch him.While in the bus, a couple of co-passengers did recognise him and began to chat with him. The conversation which followed left me in no doubt that he was not just a gentleman but very understated in his demeanour. Dressed in a simple but formal shirt and trousers and black sandals, he didn't look or sound like a typical politician. Having worked in the news business for a while, I did know that he is the first IIT-ian to head a state government in India. I had also heard that he was trying to clean up the murky world of Goa politics. But what I observed first-hand left me pleasantly surprised. I am not a resident of Goa and therefore not in a position to cast my vote for Mr Parrikar - in a political sense. But purely from a personal standpoint, he has my vote for the kind of person he seems to be.I had gone to Goa to attend the Network18 Leadership Meet and I learned my last lesson of leadership this weekend watching Mr Parrikar from a distance.
Mr Parrikar, take a bow!Ravi
