Upping the UP Ante has no durability

Upping the UP Ante has no durability

Perhaps in the liberalised economic sphere it is the political theatre that is yet to come to grip with liberal ideas. THe state of UP roots for an upheaval that few states can match in the run up to polls ; proximity to the National Capital alone can't figure out the procrastinated political churn.
Against the Parliamentary polls the stand alone advantage that a State Assembly poll may flaunt gets subsumed by the fact that there are over 500 seats up for grabs. In the assembly polls that are underway it seems as if UP alone would shed light on aspirational and assimilation qualities of a politico as others in resurgent mode in other states revvying to raise their benchmark have least reverberation.

Till the '90s one could understand the fascination for UP and those upping the UPheaval Quotient as those destined to be king or with king clink had their dimensional dexterity drawn from this state. If Andhra ascension saw the first clear break from UP stake, the aberration and profound to say the least was with a least defined tenure by those from South of Vindhyas and other states who hopped on to the bandwagon. This was followed by the state again tasked to send its rocksolid Lucknow Lever to the helm. Later the lever and leeway the state could provide withered away and after tons of third front tired experiments, those with their names registered in other states took the throne.

With 85 parliamentary seats and 403 assembly seats the gargantuan scale on which the operational character of politicos gets illustrated is no misnomer. Chieftains have come and floundered amidst their feat to complete innings. Some have continued on the back of support emerging from nowhere and some have raised their battle all alone. The second rung leadership and the second thoughts some among them have that if country's destiny is to be rid of debilitating agendas, then what better way than let the UP Upheaval run its full course. For one the non stop 100 hours honours for politicos and their prevarication, largely emerging from UP den, has least level of resistance as these very malfunctioning and yet manly enough to occupy seats for mauling those who had the mandate to set the manmade 2012 poll meter. Grand could be the coverage but there is nothing grandeur about it.

Prudent would be between six months and one year down the line, the electronically enshrined guardians selected 100-odd constituencies at random and amidst all constraints conceived a ground report on the candidate who had the final poll thunder and how his/her report card read. Purge of the politico elected and purge of such men from electoral arena could well be the enduring and running poll. Against this the Clamour for exit and by no means clinically prepared poll is illustration of the least illustrative ideas they brim. Such debates of dissension and dimension have enough oldies with enough odds stacked against them.

Tomorrow UP shrill campaign would wither away as another state would join the fray and again other set of debaters would join the chorus amidst the churn they could not cure.
