Elections Ahoy!!!!!

Well finally its that time of the year again when the country is abuzz with campaigns and slogans eulogizing the governance and initiative of the government in power on one end and the opposition trying to bring forth the mismanagement and incompetent administration of the incumbent on the other.
Well it has to be said that this election as always has once again awaken some very old leaders from their long slumbers and they are once again at it. Manipulating and strategizing their next course of action to achieve the magic figure of 272. Congress has already come out with its list of 23 candidates which contains some prominent former SP leaders. Well treason and defection in the political world is called shift in ideology and hence I respect and empathize with the rapid change in ideologies in this country. Well it is not the thing of the past but rather the present and it is here to stay because the Indian system is a multiparty one and with the growing influence of regional parties and increasing number parties the government is bound to be a coalition and the very base of coalition is built on compromise and manipulation. What this in turn means is that no single manifesto will give the clear direction of governance to be followed and not even the big two the BJP and Congress could claim to show the Indian people a glimpse into the future through their manifestoes. So governance will once again be a cocktail. Lets just hope that it is a yummy one and that India continues to grow amid all the hues and cries and rallies and campaigns.
