Sunday. Aaarrrgh! And why am i so pissed? because it's a day when the vote counting is supposed to happen for the by gone state general elections for the state assembly or lower house of the state of Karnataka. A state in India which plays a vital role in IT map of India. A culturally rich state with so many diversities and above all my home for past 13 years. So a lot of people would be covering the updates on the results. Isn't it? I normally don't follow politics a great deal. Jus know who is the prime minister, state chiefs and other ministers who have their portfolios. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to follow politics of my nation? First it's largest democracies of the world. On top of that we have a population that can make God knows whom proud! BTW, the national and state politics looks something like this here . Huh! I don't know who updates this in Wikipedia. i appreiate their patience. Keep it up. Political illiterates like me make good use of it. It gets so confusing with so much parties around. And i don't know how the voter decides whom to vote for. So many parties and so many agendas. I wonder if the parties themselves are clear on why they are existing! Ha, i bet most don't. And do all the memebers of the political parties carry the same view as of the party they belong to?
All said and done, i'm writing this post to jus express something i found really strange. I found so much enthu yesterday with all people i met yesterday glued to their TV sets. Eager to see who is winning and who is loosing. And then they passed comments when someone they knew off lost or won a seat for the respective party! and sometimes even making mockery of someone who lost badly followed. This not very surprising. Because i happened to come across the complacent speeches of this losers sometime back during their campaign. Lets not get not it now. And now who are these people who are bothering to take a look of the polical shaping in the state? Well, most of them who have voted. Say 60-70% of the population. What about the rest? i don't know seriously. I don't get to vote in this state because my electoral state is Kerala. PLace where i was bought up and my permanent address is still there as my parents reside there. :) Now what after the election results announced in the evening? Celebrations followed. Expected. Well, by now all discussions on how BJP won and congress and others lost have started. And it is sure that BJP being the single largest party with people support for this election would head to form government. Though they are short by 3-4 seats for absolute majority in the lower house. Ya, money does wonders with the independent candidates you see.. ;) By night every thing is normal and most of the people would have forgotten that there was a election campaign in not so distant past, a voting followed and then the counting of votes. A political party is not on the verge of forming the government. All claims that were claimed by the BJP needs to be watched closely now on how they would move ahead with the promises assured to people of this state. NOw, my question is, how many of this viewers of the TV will take interests to follow this in the near future on what is happening around politically? and if something at all happens how many will resist or bother to ask if something claimed was not acted upon by the ruling party? Does any news channel cover this part of the politics? ;)
