After a busy and tedious one and half month and so.... I am back to
blogging again.
The much debated and most talked event in India at this present
moment i.e. the 16th Lok Sabha elections are on.The
largest democracy in the world is all geared up to elect its new
government.The elections are held in 9 phases all over India and
the battle of ballots commenced on 7th of April and will
end on 12th of May.The dates on which elections were and
will be held are 7th,9th,10th,12th,17th,24th,30th
of April and 7th,12th of May 2014.The total
number of voters registered in this elections are 81.4 crores out of
which about 9 crores are new voters.The total number of
constituencies all over India is 543. .
For the first time in the history of India the elections are fought
on US presidential style with the political debates and prime
ministrial nominees and all.While the BJP had named their prime
ministerial candidate as Narendra Modi but on the other side the
Congress refrained from naming their prince Rahul Gandhi as their
prime ministerial candidate.Despite of no official confirmation from
the congress the media has already declared it as the RAGA vs NAMO
battle.
At the moment the most significant question is wheter the present 10
year old Manmohan Singh cum Sonia gandhi led Congress government
which is drowned in corruption,price rise and scams would be able to
retain power or whether the rejunaveted BJP under the Modi wave can
roll the dice in its favour.Come Elections and every one is ready
with their opinion polls from your parents to your uncle
aunties,friends,arstrologers and on the big scale the media every one
has the secret to that magic 272 no.If we go by the opinion polls it
seems BJP is the clear favourite to sweep the elections while the
Congress without its allies will be down to mere double digits.
As there is a twist to every hit stories,this one is no
exceptions.One man who can ruin BJP chances of getting a clear
majority is the Aam Aadmi Party supremo and ex Delhi chief minister
Arvind Kejriwal,fondly called AK by his followers.Hence for BJP to
form government they have to virtually sweep the northern and western
part of India as they have little presence at the southern and
eastern part of the country . No this is no the end of the story
another major problem the BJP will face to form government, is to
find allies who are willing to support a NAMO led government if the
BJP themselves do not get the clear majority since Narendra Modi is
hugely criticised by other parties for his role on the 2002 Gujarat
riots.And to add to the misery of both the congress and the bjp is
the virtual third front i.e. the cluster of the regional parties like
DMK,AIDMK,SP,RJD,NCP,JDU,BSP,TMC,etc. that will have an impact on the
2014 Lok Sabha elections .
Also this time the fate of parties will depend upon the politically
sane young voters of India as there are about nine crores new voters
registerd for this years Lok Sabha elections.
Will it be ABKI BAAR MODI SARKAR or the CONGRESS KA HAATH will
represent its bid for the 3rd consecutive term and with much going
around the RISE OF A DARK KNIGHT can be taken into account.The
results will be out on 16th of May and till then “THE
BILLION VOTERS” will have to wait to see which party comes to
power.
