Election Blues

rely, are the netas joking or according to their
wishes should the janta comply?

It’s the only time we see their face. Who
knows who is honest and who is a fake. But
honest politicians are rare. So its time we bid
these corrupt ones fare well before they think
of our “well fare”.

Communal Politics

When election time arrives, there are rallies,
dharnas, vows and lies. Mantri’s shout and netas cry
“please vote, give us a try. We’ll work for your
welfare, vote for us and see how we actually fare.”
They actually mean it the other way round, ‘fare
well ‘instead of ‘welfare’.

Cars are stolen and kids are kidnapped, the
latter leaving the nation zapped. Riots are initiated
and religious sentiments are aroused, and in pools
of unhappiness, we are all doused.

During the tenure of the elected party, trivial
issues raise fights. They all shun topics like
development and poverty. All they do is make a joke

The Aam Aadmi Party has rightfully rejected Shahi Imam
Syed Ahmed Bukhari's support offer for support during
the Delhi elections, stating that Politics based on
religion should be stopped and the party not only
doesn’t support it, it wants to end such politics.

In the past many leaders have taken support from
various minority leaders and religious influencers, to
gather votes. Many a times, riots have been triggered,
and peace hampered at all ends, to lay the blame on
another party and gather votes. Considering, this has
been a pretty done thing in the past, it is quite
heartening to see AAP take such a stand.
Whether the party wins or not, or whether this is
another political gimmick or not, it’s great that India is
taking steps to move away from such politics.

Here’s a poll for those who live in Delhi: did
your parents go and vote. Write ‘Yes’ if your
parents did, else write ‘No’ in the box below.
