Election fever..

The IPL and Elections fever have spread well among the people of India. With the second edition of DLF IPL glowing bright across the continents, the atmosphere back home is full of election mantras and one could see tall banners and paintings and writings on the walls everywhere.

Change is constant, no one can deny it. But what is happening in the election campaigns and the realignment among the parties make us wonder how political parties can talk exactly the other way round of what they spoke earlier. Other than the saffron front, other three fronts seem to have formed without any ideology though the ideologies of the former is very detrimental for our secular integrity.

Samajwathi party coming to support the rebel from BJP, Kalyan Singh and the later declaring himself as an innocent guy who had no role in demolishing of Babar Masjid makes me to laugh out loudly. No one is going to believe this story and nothing is SP going to gain from this man.

One gets fed up with the cheap tricks the parties are playing to woo voters. It was really shocking from the Tamil Nadu's ruling party’s chief declaring the man behind the Rajiv Gandhi’s murder as his friend. Just because one is a good orator doesn’t mean the he could talk whatever he wants and justify it by his flamboyant oratorical skills. A few months ago, the Tamil nadu CM came out with a statement saying the parties which support the Tamil terrorist orgainisation will face severe repercussions and NSA would be used if needed. Gone all those days and now he himself embraces the organization banned in India and in several other countries including US and European Union. The other Dravidian party too played similar innings. Some months ago, the AIADMK reprimanded DMK and its allies saying the war with LTTE issue is Srilanka’s internal conflict and that we can’t interfere in that. But when she realized that the ball is in the other court, she is playing the same spoil sport. Is this called adaptability to different situations? May be, B school Grads are expected to learn these from the beloved politicians!!! :) :)

Global warming, climate change, recession, ways to sustain our GDP growth, FDI, health care, ways to bolster our agriculture sector, foreign policies etc.. Why the hell none of these issues get addressed by any of the political parties. We are growing at a pace next only to china and we have the fourth largest GDP measured in PPP. A couple of people in the top ten in the list of wealthiest people in the world, growing high in the space exploration and the list where we top in the world goes on. We should be indeed proud of our nation and we deserve much more good politicians and parties with better ideologies which will enhance the momentum we have gained over the past 60 years. Let us not forget we have had great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Kamarajar who were so selfless in serving our country.
