Election Again......

Another Parliamentary Election is forthcoming. Again some uncanny political alliances have been surfaced. Again the rat-race for Primeministership has been started. Again, we all are going to elect 543 hon'ble Members of Parliaments. Out of them, criminal activities have already been recorded against a considerable number. May not be majority, but almost touches the half-way mark. The whole world will be proud of this second largest 'democracy'. We will feel a great pride for our 'democracy' as the whole world will appreciate this. After the election will be over, the leaders of the political parties will invite each other at breakfast table, or lunch, or dinner, a new form of alliance will be formed, widely differ from pre-poll alliance. We, the common people of India, the proud people of the second largest democracy, will see "The Great Indian Tamasha". After formation of the next government, the leaders of the oplitical parties in power will give thanks to us for supporting them, whereas, a large number among us, may be majority, may scare with surprising look at them that we caste our vote against them!! We should be proud of our 'democracy' where, democracy means opinion of the minorities.
We all, along with the whole world are facing a phase of recession. Isn't it? A huge number of job-cutting is gradually spreading the shadow of uncertainty throughout India. We really don't know who will be the next? Our hon'ble ministers are requesting the company CEOs for cost curtailment, not job, as they know unlimited job cutting may force them to face tough situation. And in such situation? An extra burden of Rs. 1200 Crore will have to be borne by Indian. Officially. None knows the upper limit of unofficial expenditure for election purpose. Unlimited amount of Telephone calls, Unlimited amount of paper works, unlimied usage of vehicles and fuel, unlimited usage of electricity, unlimited usage of materials for election campaign - really there is no limit of expenditure. In which country? Where only 42% of total population use piped drinking water (don't know to what extent it is safe), where infant mortality rate is 57 per 1000 live births, where only 41% of female of age group 15-49 are illiterate, where only 43.5% of total children of age 12-23 are fully immunised, where only 44.5% have access to toilet facility, where only 41.4% can live in pucca house.
Just think. 62 years have gone after independence. We are in such election process since 1952. Another parliamentary election is forthcoming......

Aare bhai, this TAMASHA is creating livelihoods opportunity for quite a large number of INDIANS!!! Because of this TAMASHA a huge pay hike of Govt servants!! Democracy always means that poor people will suffer, then only our politicians and beaurocrats will be able to launch some development programmes for their improvement. Otherwise what they will do on 26th January, 15th August, 2nd October ? This is INDIA, MERA BHARAT MAHAN .....

Nice to see something in your blog after a long time. You used to raise the hot topics but suddenly stoped the same. Don't know why? This is really a great TAMASHA and we have nothing to do except see and enjoy the TAMASHA. I also agree with Subrataa Di as because she pointed out the real benefits of us. We, so called Govt. employees will not able to get such pay hike if not TAMASHA will be there. You know,recent survey tells us that we will bear more expenses than President election of USA which was performed throghout one and half year.

It has been a TAMASHA for many years..And most of us are proud to be a part of it . The people who will rush to cast their vote will be termed as the most 'responsible citizen'. Cast their vote in favour of ....????? Huhh!!!The least it is said the better it is. This country perhaps eventually will be run by that Mulayam, Devegouda,OR Mayabati, and their bio-data is ..?????In West Bengal some rowdy Trinomoolis or some half literate politicians .
I think I should make it clear here that I dont belong to any party or group.I donot support ANY political party as to me they are not my worth.. I loathe this politics of convenience.. I hate the politicians who play dirty games,who ONLY care to make fast bucks, propagate negative views in the guise of social yarn..who are purchased by the business tycoons..who are driven by greed greed and greed for money ,for power and are least concerned abt welfare of u ,me..They will occupy the throne at the cost of our pocket as money will flow like champagne in this election..and they will lick it like ever-thirsty street dogs....
We need thousand and thousands of AL ZEIDI..Simple.
When will we learn to pull up our socks ????
Or else I am afraid this country will soon disintegrate .
