Its been a long time since my last post. Was a bit busy. So now the big IPL is back. I mean the Great Indian Political League with the largest pool of players trying to show their worth in front of the largest panel of judges or selectors.
All the parties and the so called poll stars are gearing up big time for the absolutely unpredictable league. The next two months are going to be the most exciting for everybody here with or without an interest in politics. The kind of drama on display here is even more exciting than any Saas-Bahu soap, a nail biting cricket match or a penalty shoot out between Arsenal and Manchester United. Maybe i exaggerated a little here. But it is really going to be a very exciting summer this one.
And yeah, the drama has already begun. Already some age old alliances have been broken and some new ones have been formed. At some places, two old rivals who might have refused to see each others face earlier are holding hands of each other and at other places two old friends are now not ready to see each others face. With such a huge population and with 543 seats going into voting, the drama had got to be of the highest level. India has so much diversity in everything that such varied things can happen here only.
But mind you, the game has just begun. With the third front getting more and more powerful day by day, we can expect much more action later on and especially after the results are declared. Everybody is keeping hopes alive for becoming the PM of India. But, nobody is with the purpose pf serving the people. And it is here where the danger lies. Parties with even less than 20 seats in the last elections are hoping to see their party candidate on the hot seat. People like Mayawati, Jayalalitha, Chandrababu Naidu, Mulayam Singh, Deve Gowda, Sharad Pawar, Prakash Karat are just a few names who have already expressed their big desires. Now, you can only imagine the change these people can bring about.
The money politics is also running very high. Although the world may be big time in recession, there is no recession in this IPL. Money and other goods are being distributed freely among the junta to win their votes. And as always it may work this time too.
I just hope for a miracle. May any one group win a majority. And please the above mentioned people leave their dreams aside and for once just think of the betterment of the country.
