Election results awaited

In the state of Gujarat, it is election time. The state has a festive look as political parties are electioneering.Songs and speeches in mega phones....decorated streets...people are in a good mood. Huge amount of wealth is spent on electioneering. This is a huge waste, as people are aware and can see speeches on television or hear on radio. Although many parties are trying to win over the votes, one party has a charismatic leader who appeals to the spirit of the people. Since he is covering the whole state while electioneering,everyone is going to vote for him. He is extremely appealing to the people, as he speaks in the language of the people, Gujarathi. He want to bring speedy industrialisation. He projects an image of a great Gujarat. He promisses a dream to the people.Others do not stand a chance against him.
What do the people expect from the government? They do not want big things, they want good supply of drinking water, they want non-stop electricity for running their pumps in their fields, and they want good roads. These are the simple needs of the people which they ask for. Can the future politicians give them these?
