Politics for Nothing

I am not an ardent follower of politics or  fan of Indian politics but I intend to keep track of what's happening around so as to update my GK quotient.

Current political scenario in India is not motivating its complicated and extremely confusing from a voters perspective.

One party party is talking about eradicating corruption from India, as if it were polio. Another is talking about development of India, as if India extends beyond them. Then another, is talking about continuing the developments that has happened over last decade or so, as if we haven't seen enough. Hence creating an extreme distribution of votes of every caste, community and section of the society, which will eventually lead to coalition.

The so called 'Modi lehar', sounds like a snacks campaign, is very catching but ambiguous. The person trying to be at the helm of centre is considered "Communist" but in his campaign speeches he has given communal thoughts a backseat. What is ironic is that instead of him it is the associates and the people whose suggestion influence his decision continue to talk about communalism. Thereby maintaining the attention of those who are loyal supporters while garnering the support of those who seek development and life beyond communalism. Very cleverly both types of support, communal and development, is being generated by a party. What is to be seen is whether people take decision based on collective or individual talks.

The major concern that seems to come up is communal extremism becoming active and visible as in one of the leading states of the country. There may be development but a particular section may be made to pay price for that. My sincere concern or prediction is, there will soon be communal disturbance in some regions in India and there will be war with a neighbouring country. This will result in economic development either being lead or followed by economic turmoil and social imbalance and disintegration of society.

I choose absolute development. But no one is ensuring that. I have the option and may abstain my right when the time comes!
