Democracy Fest Over

"The superior man is distressed by the limitations of his ability ,he is not distressed by the fact that men do not recognize the ability he has "



We are now over with the 15th parliamentary elections , a phase of panic, rallies ,campaigns & restless speeches with lucrative promises has came to an end.These days sky was full of traffic of chartered planes & choppers hovering all around carrying our future leaders and rulers of our Nation.
These parliamentary elections were unique in many sense , it saw a dramatic change in various aspects be it was political aproach to common man,be it use of technology at its par,be it stronger role play of election commission. Most of us don’t know that this how mush this year we have spent on this royal job.More than 10000 crores of rupees were spent in organizing this 1-2 month event.If we add that amount which party candidates have individually spent the amount goes beyond 15000 crores .Parties have left no stone unturned to make their significant presence in this election.
Thousands of litres of petrol was burned for the campaigning despite of the fact that electin commission has fixed an upper bound on individual candidates expenses in campaigning to just 25 lacs .But as we all know norms are to broken not to be followed .
The game of democracy is very suprising on the one hand we make election commisionar as the sole power and controller but still he is made to be restricted within his own limits .
A statistical analysis shows that India’s 15th parliamentary elections budget was over 10000 crores rupees while that of US presidential elections budget was around 3000 crores which is a 1 year long process. I can’t find a reason that in such a crucial time of economic slump ,when there is monetary crisis & each nation is trying to reduce extra expenses ,why are we so extravagant.
After such a huge investment polls percentage was deplorable ,anyways that has nothing to do with budget issue ,it is an issue related to awareness of masses o participate in election process of democracy.
Another aspect of this election was degradation we saw in speeches of our so called leaders ,use of cheap words ,figure of speeches ,comments ,vulgar remarks was very common phenomenon this time.It not only showed the unhealthy political desires but also made us realize that to whom we are goin to vote .This year we saw a new discovery of unique way of protesting , shoes are not to be just weared ,they are flying these days towards politicians.
There was a proxy campaign which was fought over cyberworld during this election
Major poltical parties had started strategic campaign through ,blogging networking ,social networking sites ,advertisements over internet .I was surprised to see the pop up advertisement of PM in waiting .It was an example that how much this election wastechnically strong.
Finally people of India voted & enclosed the destiny of candidates inside EVM’s .
The only positive ray of hope that this election has shown that now people don’t find it worth waisting their votes for such a party who is not going to be ruling party , such parties shake hands & make compromises on portfolio sharing cheating voters making their vote useless.So now slowly voters are awakening they knew that voting should be done positively not negatively to just deduct votes of other party ,voting should be done for the sake of National interest .
I think its time for us to realize that its better to have very dicrete political opinions ,we must accept ideology of some major parties (it doesn’t mean that you should be a blind follower either it is against law,ethics or society)This strategy will lead to slightly bring bi-party system in India .It will not only strengthen democary but will stablise countrie development majority government without any coalition will eliminate opportunistic smaller parties which create obstacle in taking stronger decisions in national benefit.
My opinion might sound whimsical for many of us but if we want to see India on path of progress we need to do so. Stronger decisions must be taken.A quote from Napolean Bonaparte is quite evident “ A form of government that is not the result of long sequence of shared experience ,efforts & endeavours can never take root.”
