Election Fever

Election fever means frantic attempts to win elections. Candidates try the "tactic" of trying to find fault with the opposite team. They try to wedge the newly formed front. More and more news channels try to make predictions thinking that such predictions can change the minds of the voters. Since "Ambedkars Jayanti" was here, all try to make capital out of this occasion. They try to portray themselves as the only persons trying to save egalitarianism in India. Proposal of curing all evils in India is not going to work. Secularism is elusive. Promises are always make and none are ever kept. This is bad. Thats why things don't work here. We do not have proper drinking water, we are inefficient in giving electricity to all. Schools are not good enough and health care is poor. We are lacking in so many many  ways. No political party takes any effort to change that. Its very sad.
Now family feuds take the shape of politicking. Children of one brother against the child of another brother who is in the opposite party. New kinds of mudslinging goes on. Most battles are fought on live TV while each of the news channels try to air the latested abuses in the fastest way possible. It is non stop cacophony.
Movie stars also try to support one or the other parties and jump in into the battleground. although the Election Commission's issues strict notices, it does not stop one from hurdling abuses against another. Oh, when will all this end? When the elections are over.
