Stage set for Election in two states

The states of Himachal Pradesh and the state of Gujarat are undergoing final stages of the state elections. Candidates are making promises to their potential voters.Candidates are appealing to the younger first-time voters--promising employment and development in their own states. There is promise of industrialisation--"we will open more industries and make you prosper".Industries offer jobs to outsiders and the prosperity from industries go their owners and not to the people. The simple people of Himachal Pradesh depend on tourism; they open small industries in their homes  making handicrafts and they try to make a living. They are asking the electioneering candidates questions, "why is the cost of living so high" Simple answers are not available for the simple people. But there is a  promise--"if you elect me, cost of living will go down" The poor people are ready to believe anyone. People are asking for "good roads, railways, colleges, jobs and good hospitals" Unemployment rate is very very high here.The men of the mountainous Himachal Pradesh are forced to leave their home state seeking employment in the army and allied organisations--they search for employment anywhere and everywhere. The hardworking women of Himachal Pradesh live out their lives in harsh conditions; they educate their children and hope that life would be kinder to their children. All are educated, willing to work hard and positive thinking and politically aware people.Can these aspiring politicians understand the problems of the people? They cannot. There is negative campaigning which is detestable.All time in wasted in mud-slinging(slandering each other), and in making un-realisable promises.The real issues are ignored. The election fever is clearly visible, the empathy for the people is entirely missing. In the abode of God Shiva, the snow clad Himachal is looking for real life leaders who will save them. People of Himachal, God loves you, whether politician care or not, it doesn't matter. Lord Shiva will answer their  prayers.
