Maharashtra Muscle: Hold polls afresh to douse political wildfire and stress

Maharashtra Muscle: Hold polls afresh to douse political wildfire and stress

The political tussle unfolding in Maharashtra State in Western India calls for deployment of ammunition that has least repulsive nature of enduring hate. One combine has hatred against other and so on and so forth and this is all because of less casting of vote. Had there been high turnout of voters when polls were underway in the State we would not have been witness to some going back on their promise to stick together and some combine being stonewalled and shown the Gate.

The way the MLAs (elected representatives of Maharashtra State) are being loaded in buses and packed in hotel rooms may let some entertain this thought that money can still prove decisive in giving one combine a boom. Least likely that any govt that is formed would last long as they would be short of numbers (defections can happen at any time and any place) and miles away from having popcorn. Hotels are full, buses are booked, resorts are inviting cool is the developing story from Maharashtra which got separated from Gujarat more than 55 years ago after having a major slice of ice cream Cassata. One political Cavalcade leaves the hotel with large sets of cars of different shapes and sizes, and another Cavalcade moves in and this precisely shows the money that politics brings in. Shame to these Political Cavalcades whose expensive cars only goes on to show how much they have milked the State and how they want to seal the State Fate.

The best way to break this logjam is to have President's Rule again and henceforth hold polls afresh and not let aforementioned govt rust. Once elections are held afresh and voters show sentiment of crush, the poll verdict would be decisive mirroring least signs of political stress. This political saga from this State in India shows appropriately and repeatedly the demeaning nature of politics in our country where money and muscle power rule the roost as if they are here for a movie shoot. News Channels are reportedly pleading for byte; newspapers are on a political flight and innumerable flight ticket tantrums would be thrown in before a stable govt zing in.

Political Dynasts invite innuendos and here in as well Dynasts are out to rock the boat. It is shameful to see the political tenants play out in full public view knowing fully well this would earn them recall mileage among electorate forgetting the impulsive nature of public that desists the procession built on money power and on a slate.  These expensive cavalcade of politicos won't come handy and a day would come when public would sneer and snatch their lust for power and brandy.
