In the competitive spirit of the elections the real issues facing India are ignored. Development issues, taxes, land acquisition policies, subsidies for private firms are not spoken of; rampant corruption is forgotten; inflation and price rise are not explained; insecurity of Indian women in public spaces is never remembered. Many part of India suffer because there is no piped water and no electricity. Farming suffers, industries are not growing fast and we are not doing well. All that is spoken by aspiring politicians is personalized attacks: why did BJP contestant had never mentioned that he had been married long ago? Why did the son-in-law of their opponent acquire prime property at nominal rates? These trivial issues occupy prime spaces in election speeches! Politics has become a dirty fight. Our country is a developing nation and we need not waste our time and resources in trivial matters. The money spent on the big political fights could be used for development. Where did the political parties amass such wealth? Election commission cannot enforce clean politics.What can the government of this vast nation ensure for its citizens?We are a democracy, are we a good democracy worthy of it? When differences among the people is so great.....poor being so so poor and the rich being so so rich can our democracy have any meaning? This exercise of election is to fool the people that they have the power to change the state of the nation We can change the ruling party, but we cannot change the nature of dirty politics in India.We must think on this, and effectively use our power to vote......
