The future of us and our  nation / city is the election of public leaders/municipal leaders. The election of public leaders/municipal leaders is based on the votes of the common citizen. But we should consider some important things while choosing a public leader/municipal leaders.

We have not compiled the information about how a corporator/municipal leaders should be initially by referring to various religious texts, it is as follows: According to Chanakya Niti, a public leader/municipal leaders   should have business skills and strategic foresight. According to Krishnaniti, a corporator should have  service spirit, love of justice and people's gathering. According to Vidurniti, a corporator/public leader should have truthfulness, devotion to religion and sacrifice for the people.

According to Dharmashastra, a corporator /public leaders should be a guardian of religion and a protector of the people.

According to Arthasastra, a corporator/public leaders should be transparent, love of justice and development-oriented.

Also, according to the Puranas, a corporators / public leaders should be an officer or servant who ensures the welfare of the society, village or city. His work is prescribed for religious, social, administrative and for the benefit of the citizens. According to the references taken from the eighteen Puranas, the expected performance and work of a public leader / corporator:

1.      Vishnu Purana – The corporators / public leaders  should take care of the rules,

cleanliness, public facilities and religious observance in the city.

2.      Brahma Purana – Helping the poor and helpless people, creating happiness in the

city.

3.      Vishnu Purana – Organizing religious festivals, sacrifices and social welfare

activities in the city.

4.      Devi Bhagwat Purana – Protecting women and children in the city, providing

education.

5.      Shiv Purana – Maintaining religious places, temples and managing worship in the

city.

6.      Bhagwat Purana – Maintaining social justice in the city and taking appropriate

measures against thieves and miscreants.

7.      Garuda Purana –  Monitoring health and cleanliness in the city, arranging hospitals and dispensaries.

8.      Narad Purana (Research) – Making provisions for penalties for those who break the rules in the city.

9.      Linga Purana – Organizing religious rituals, rituals and traditional festivals in the

city.

10.  Markandeya Purana – Responsibility for agriculture, irrigation and market

management in the city.

11. Skanda Purana – Promoting education and culture in the city.

12. Vaman Purana – Administrative court in the city and resolution of local disputes.

13. Kurma Purana – Trade, tax and financial management in the city.

14.Matsya Purana – Public security and disaster management in the city.

15. Agni Purana – Fire safety, weapons storage and protection in the city.

16. Varaha Purana – Implementing welfare schemes for the poor and underprivileged

      in the city.

17. Narada Purana – Collecting information in the city and conveying it to the

      government.

18. Bhavishya Purana – Promoting knowledge, art and science in the city.

 

In summary, the work of a public leaders / corporator is not limited to administration only, he achieves the development, prosperity and welfare of the city / society / nation in religious, social, economic, educational and cultural aspects.

Now, according to the above texts, does the person we are going to choose have a study of our society, its people, its five elements, namely, land, water, air, (Environment), fire (temperature, pressure in the atmosphere) and sky (i.e. changes in the sky and their effects)?

 

Do you think that a public leaders/corporators needs knowledge of the five elements?*

 

But friends, don't laugh. My aim is that he needs to know and study every detail there.

 

Value education should be known to him. Again, the difficult word value education here means that he should have qualities such as honesty, humility, duty, diligence, hard work, perseverance, love, generosity, tolerance, service, equality of all religions, etc.

 

He should have foresight, thinking ability, idea formation, cleverness, management, and most importantly, trustworthiness.

All are for the good of all and all are happy. Expressing this sentiment, some modest expectations

 

In politics and social work, this means social awareness, enlightenment, social work development. For the deprived people of the nation/society/city/village, for the poor, helpless, elderly, orphans, disabled, destitute people and to inspire them to live with dignity, for the mental, physical, spiritual development of the citizens. The nation/district/city/village is a family and every person in the city/village/district is a member. The responsibility of their development lies with the leader. The responsibility of every citizen to live happily, contentedly, peacefully, affluently and prosperously lies with the leader. The responsibility of justice, security, basic. facilities lies with the leader.

The expectations for the development of the nation/Society/district/city/village are as follows.
