Election Results-Voting patterns while Exercising our rights

Voting patterns can be easily traced by the results of the elections which has come out just now. The results were declared where the elections were held : in the state of Punjab, the state of Uttar Pradesh, state of Goa, the state of Uttrakhand and the state of Manipur.Results reveal that the Indian people want young politicians who can deliver results; they want those who can empathise with them on  the sad state of economy.They want new ideas and progress from newer technology; promise of laptops and tablets for the students appealed to all voters. More women had voted than ever before, they are totally aware of what is going on and want to exercise their voting rights to select the best. Although dynastic rule was admonished,father-son duo was most preferred as the patriarchal traditions were honoured. Promise of  transparent and honest government was appreciated.Persons of simple origin were adored; and those who indulged in self-praise were not supported. Modest leaders were voted to power.Those who promised crime free country were highly praised. 
Thus we can note that the people have matured and have voted with logic and insight; caste,religion or regional politics did not have any role this election.Only admirable personalities who had promised progress were elected. The media/T.V. channels had shaped personalities to a great extent.Those who had delayed "anti-corruption bill" were voted against decisively.People were not voting for party or symbols, but for good leaders.

Ordinarily, the role of media is to spread education and give the masses a view of the true state of affairs. Election time makes the media lock horns with the political aspirants. The fallacies of the conservative political élite stand exposed. Aspirants’ efforts to paint themselves to be plain people is futile as the media is ultra intelligent and shows the people the reality. ‘These are leaders who arise from the aristocracy’ and ‘those who come from grass roots’ are vividly depicted. Even aspirants’ personalities are built by the media. Media has shaped the minds of the people in the last election. In India, media has thus redefined democracy in the making of new leaders.

Media can play a more important part of nation building in addition to election propaganda. Media should popularise the progresses made and not lament over the lapses of the government. Promote positivism and not depreciate achievements.
