Come April, Come Elections!!! This is the scenario in India, The typical Indian Politicians - who were under cover from the last elections have resurfaced in the scorching sun to woo their so called dear voters , I was actually surprised to know that few Political parties have promised colour televisions to the voters, while few have promised sarees, money and the magical potion called "Liquor". Few others have made illegal distribution of cricket kits to children of rural areas as a prerequisite for a vote , The Regional parties have marched ahead in the form of luring Film actors to encash upon their popularity , Parties which were foes previously have suddenly turned friends as they want to "Work together for a cause".
The Politicians ventured into every street possible cajoling the innocent elderly people and people of the slums, Politicians helping the construction labourers, helping the barber in cutting the hair, sweeping the roads, hugging the poor, washing clothes of the poor for the sake of a photograph was a common sight, Its high time the innocent people realise that they are only falling prey to the cruel Jackals.
I wonder whether the anti-defection law is really relevant in the Indian Context, How many politicians have not switched the parties post elections? Not to forget is the provisions of law which states that Person with a criminal background is not entitled to participate in an election, Nobody questions Sanjay Dutt, Shibu Soren, Laloo Prasad Yadav , Y.S.Rajasekhar reddy - CM Of A.P.etc. Uddhav thackeray -the brainchild behind the anti-north Indian massacres in Mumbai is nowhere questioned.
The biggest innovation in campaigning has been the " Blame Game Politics" with the use of all the forms of media to corner the opponents , They have optimally utilised technology and usage of animation to imitate & interpret the opponent's ill motives.
Its high time the politicians realise that the people do not want colour televisions or sarees from politicians but they need a true politician who can make sense to the nation. A couple of months prior to the elections, India witnessed a multifold increase in cash flow, which inturn was attributed to the shelling out of unaccounted money of the politicians.
A Hope ushers to change the mindset of the unscrupulous politicians but only in vain.
