Celebration of Indian Democracy

The election celebration is on and the campaigns of different political parties have acquired momentum The election date is fast approaching and the heat increases along with the summer heat. Naturally everybody wants to win in the election but that hope is unnatural. The voters have the last word and they will declare the winners.

In this 2019 Election every known political ,both national and regional , are against one man

Mr. Modi  and his party the BJP. Well it is fair enough in a political battle of this dimension .Mr. Modi has political and administrative experience though many of his decisions may be questioned. But he is a person who is prone to take risky decisions with good intention. However he is a strong man with good global recognition. But that may not translate into votes in a country like India where the scenario ,both political and social ,is extremely complex and unpredictable.  He rose from the rank of a regional politician to a global politician within a short span of time which is ADMIRABLE. He earned the respect of the heads of other countries all over the world .This has helped India to into the global political arena which will be good for India in the long run.The sustainability of his efforts depends entirely upon his and his Party’s ( BJP ) performance in the elections and winning sufficient seats along with allies to form a stable government.

On the other hand , the present opposition parties ( congress and other regional parties) have not projected any single person as the PM if they get an upper hand in the election. This is actually a weakness as the voters are guessing who will be the PM if the present opposition ( Congress and the other Regional parties ) is elected to power. However it is unlikely that any single party in the opposition will get majority to form a stable government at the centre.

The Congress led by Mr. Rahul Gandhi is the main  party in the opposition . All the opposition parties declared ,much before the campaign started ,that they will form a grand alliance to fight the BJP. But the much publicized alliance is nowhere to be seen ,instead they fight against each other. In fact it would have been a fairly good election  that had happened. But there are many PM aspirants among the opposition ,whether they deserve it or not ,is another question.

In the present political scenario Rahul Gandhi seems to be the main contender for the PM’s post .He has the great backing of the GANDHI name which is his basic qualification to aspire for the PM’S post. Perpetuation of the dynastic style of rule is the main aim . Unfortunately there are many senior members of the Congress party allows this shamelessly as if there is nobody except Rahul or Priyanka competent in the Congress party to become the PM .

There is nothing wrong in     Rahul aspiring to become the PM but this is mainly because he is a MEMBER of the GANDHI family.fThe whole media ,simply because they  cannot tolerate the BJP , support him directly and indirectly. A few months back he was called PAPU ( Even many congress men had no faith in him ) . But now he has graduated himself from PAAPUMON to RAHULJI !. However this transformation has happened with the undeclared support of the majority of Indian media which are anti BJP for reasons best known to them . Whatever it may be , playing the DYNASTY card again and again is not good for Indian Democracy.

Congress may get more seats than it got last time under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi but it is doubtful whether Congress alone will get the numbers to form the government . If they do not get tbey have to seek the support of other regional parties who have their own PM aspirants. It is a tricky situation and there will be hard bargaining .

However the whole India waits for the results and every Indian wants a strong Government which will take the country forward in the next FIVE  years.

Indian democracy and elections are vey interesting and intoxicating as a real COCKTAIL. Let us enjoy the “party”and hope for the best. INDIA IS A GREAT COUNTRY AND IT DESERVES THE BEST GOVERNMENT AND ALL INDIANS ARE PRAYING FOR THAT.LET IT BE MODI , RAHUL OR ANY OTHER PERSON ,we deserve the best .One cannot predict anything in this complex situation where things are changing everyday. However , as mentioned earlier let us enjoy the COLOURFUL COCKTAIL.

However every Indian voter should exercise his/her vote for the best player in the election arena after considering the proven track record rather than the family name .

We need to elect a man with a clear VISION and not a person from a family surrounded by SYCOPHANTS who have only their own interest in mind.
