String Of Polls In This South Asian Nation And Those Hauled Over The Coals

Much is being made of State Assembly Polls and some may be hauled over the coals if benign verdict may lead some for all times to come political chapter fold. The Top Chair Vault and those who would bemoan and revolt are inescapable facts in a nation like India comprising 25 plus provinces which won't be minus poll hysteria. Election watchdog may have a tough task ahead to hold polls in five States which are out and out agrarian occasionally witnessing a campaign of hate and miles and miles away from city of Uvalde. One is at fault for keeping roadshows and poll rallies banished only till Jan 15 which seems the decision has been taken by a teen.

There should have been blanket ban on poll rallies and roadshows till March 10 when it would get clear who would win and henceforth not complete the tenure and see his party in ruin. Win or loss the entire poll machinery is hogwash; millions are spent on campaign that is nonetheless a season of backpain. Parachuting from top the political party honchos would promise moon; post poll brouhaha they would disappear and get noticed for riverside croon. Polls are a wasteful expenditure in India where healthcare is in dire straits and irrespective of caste, creed and colour of cash the health sector is rash. Why waste millions running into billions on polls when the politico to be picked and hailed has a future pyramid that is frail. These two months when poll hysteria would engulf this South Asian nation state which has millions going unfed every night and this evolving picture is blight. 

Essentially tremors may not be felt post polls but those hopeful of completing tenure may be bulldozed to another reality where they may be called to visit Dentist to clear cobwebs and cavity, where the political party they praised may dump them midway in entirety. For India the decades of '80s and '90s were no boredom everything moving at snail pace was the natural rhythm. We still revel the era of Doordarshan as the solo TV channel in India and with the onset of electronic media beverage the task of news reporting became haughty and below average. Day in and day out they spend invaluable hours in putting under spotlight this brazen politico or that indefensible superstar forgetting that in this melee the lesser known entities with no fear on whom the stories should be spun be it miniscule share. Those who rose from ranks coming from humble background never ever have been praised and they have not been put under spotlight despite they having enough grace. In the passing away of lesser known entities even in ticker they didn't find mention as all these channels are amassed with wealth and are assured of lifelong pension. Why not berate the powers that be over rising unemployment and rising inflationary trends in a nation caught in a whirlpool of not tolerating dissent. In India Writing in English is considered luxury, those writing in vernacular mode are banished and considered even less than the likes of Cavalieri.

Electronic plus print media is at fault for focusing on trivial issues like security breach and not so noteworthy glitch when they are in the know of things that this South Asian nation comprises millions of individuals who have nothing to eat and pass each day minus feast. When the spotlight would go away from these obscure politicos who are out and out wackos and train guns on an administration that doesn't perform and administrators at large wearing a frail crown. From Leh To Lisbon the weather is out and out freaky and when we would be spared from this biting cold that is no rickety. Logging miles and miles in air is no wonder and from affluent politico to those with expansive portico they are all adding to climate chaos and day may come when they would eventually lose the title of frosh. Taking credit for air connectivity is childish as aviation sector has host of challenges coupled with men at their  disposal who are no prudish. From Air To Fair mass gathering should be discouraged in a world where the response to fight myriad of challenges is average.
