A General Election in Chaos

Its been never like this. It seems everybody wants to become a prime minister. Though people had dreams before also , they were deep beneath. But what is the most striking feature about this general election is that everybody is so open about it. Be it the numerous fronts opening every other day before the country goes to polls. Everybody is busy showing their importance in forming a government. Be it Mayawati , Lalu Yadav or Mulayam Singh Yadav. The ironic fact is that they are indeed important. And nobody knows who becomes the winner. Finally the time has come when India unleashes its Unity in Diversity phenomenon across the world. The largest democracy is indeed the most volatile in the world. The maniestation of which comes in the economic policies of the country.

The worrying picture is the changing colors of the political ideologies of the parties. There is utter confusion in which the voters dont know exactly who will be their messiah. The confusion is further heightened by the cross fire between the leaders. The leaders who are not even sure which side of the government they are. One can see the act of fine balance and fear of the political parties in their speeches and manifestos. The two major political parties of the country Congress and BJP have grown old. They need support from their children which are the numerous regional offshoots of their parent parties Congress and BJP. A joint family system form of a government was proposed to save the country and NDA and UPA emerged.

Again a problem arose in which the GenX had the demands and wanted attention. It seems as if the 21st century society was manifesting into the political scenario. Many children deserted their ailing parents making adoption the only solution for the parents. Children from diverse backgrounds joined and new families arose.
