India is buzzing. Everyone is excited. Even uneducated people are predicting that it is going to be a 'hung' Government at the Centre. What does the projected statistics from premiere news channels like CNN-IBN and NDTV say? UPA government has slightly got the edge. It will have definitely have more seats as compared to other parties, but they would be lesser in number as compared to previous years' poll results.
Never has been results this predictable and at the same time exciting to younger folk like me (don't raise eyebrows) to see who would have the last laugh. If Congress comes to power once again in AP, then it is all about Jagan Mohan Reddy, who should be ruling the roost, which is pathetic for the people and the country. The guy is such an idiot and a ruthless jerk banking on the name of his Chief Minister father.
So what do you do to overcome such a corrupt Govt? Go and vote to decide your leader, was the campaign launched by most celebrities. They even say that it is a shame if you haven't voted for your country. Sell your stories to someone else. We are not going to change anytime soon. We love to live in the dirt slinging mud over one another.
If you are picking a scoundrel as your leader, then there is no difference on whom you pick between a bigger one and a lesser known one. Both are scoundrels and should get their money back to sustain in the political party and gain extra mileage in their career. They do rigging and you never know what percent of the votes that were polled were rigged. That is why I did not vote. More than that I am not living in my city and my name does not exist in the voters list.
There is no faith in the leaders you choose and that means you are living in a society where you are left helpless if a disaster happens. An online voting system should exist and should be efficiently implemented. There should be an educated party with good policies. The leaders should be easily approachable to the masses. If things do not pan out the way they wished, they even should be willing to sacrifice their lives. Wishful thinking.
Once the results are out, the next thing is the stability of the Government. Most of them are aware that due to proliferation of regional parties with which the Government will be formed, they are already predicting that it will be an unstable Government. The result? Elections again in just over an year and a hole in Govt's exchequer.
The battle to rattle opposition begins again with the common man struggling as ever, before and after the results. The paint mark on the common man's index finger will go away in few days but not the scar marks with broken promises left by his elected leader in the polls.
