My dear friends, last evening I was watching news in TV and found that the congress party has won the three assembly elections in three states (Arunachal, Maharastra and Haryana). People have chosen the same party which were ruling the states for last five years. Congress party is very happy. They are ready to form new government in these states. But few reflections:
- The way the election was won in Arunachal is really alarming for the democratic spirit of India. According to some news channel before the day of election some political party has been alleged to have distributes goods like motor bike to owe the voters. Is this the way a election should be won? why are the political parties so insecure of their win if they are "confident to win"? Where is the civil society to protest against it? Are we so materialistic?
- Will the poor people of Maharshtra get 24 hours electricity now? Will the people be still burnt alive in the name of caste and region?
- Will the farmers of Haryana see a good infrastructure in the area of agriculture?
- Will our leaders now really work for the excluded people of the society and not just go and stay in their house for one day?
- When will the civil society stand against the people who divide the society in name of religion and region? Election is the only means by which we can show our power, when will we exercise these power properly?
One need to understand that people are not the same as they were ten years before. The people have now understood the dynamics of the political leaders. I do believe that people need to be sensitised more in order to choose proper leader for the governance.
