And for a Friday …… as recent State elections results have thrown up amazing surprises …….some thoughts … some musings …..
Most important message to the world is the maturity of the Indian Democratic system …… voters are poor … yes …semi literate … yes … accept freebies … yes …. But make no mistake …..the Election Commission & Processes are time tested … …technology savvy …. constitutionally guaranteed & absolutely foolproof ….…. The masses of India particularly the poor & disadvantaged use their ballot to give decisive verdicts ……. who could have imagined Mamta Bannerjee -the Almighty Ruler of Bengal….: to be thrown out so mercilessly ….. or DMK Super Boss Stalin to be crushed in defeat by a totally political novice with no administrative , political or comparable grassroots CASH power …..ofcourse a popular Film star ….most political experts opined that a fanbase & rally numbers are not easily converted into votes ……. all proved wrong ……. the masses want change ….. rejecting the established & dynastic political parties ……there surely is a deep implicit message …. a yearning for better Corruption free Governance………
The Keralam result has a different …. yet very strong message …….the last bastion of Communist rule has broken down …..The Communist philosophy of keeping the poor “as poor as possible “ but organised into political unions …….. redistributing Poverty …..opposing Private Capital ….Business investments….. competition & Economic growth has been completely dismissed by the Electorate ……The Leftist parties suffered elimination in Bengal … then Tripura & now in Keralam …… Youth of India want better standards of living ….. relevant education… jobs …..improved & reasonable quality of life …….tolerance to empty promises & rhetoric are over…… a silent but clear message is being sent across the country to all Political parties ……… & leadership …..
Let us all understand the winds of change in the Country …. Let’s support change for better Governance …. Lesser Corruption ….the involved way ……. the legal way ….. the SEEGOS way.
