General elections, India.

May 13th..well the curtains are down at last.And it is a shame my participation in the event was foiled by some faceless idiots who failed to keep my records properly.Yes I never got a chance to cast my vote.Not only me but the names of whole family as such were omitted from the voters list. We tried to include our names, but in vain.At least, we can be at peace, that, we aint responsible for any moron who is going to be in charge in the center.That is some kinda escapism I know.but then the scene here isnt any better.It is sad and true.The exit poll survey points towards a weak coalition Govt. again.And the real existing fact is that we have no proper head who can steer this biggest democratical country ahead.This present Govt has failed in many fronts.It is a wonder how they come back to people asking for support.More surprising fact is the memory of the people, which is so volatile and they do vote for them again! Still things are moving on..and this country is Indeed moving ahead and that too in a fast pace.
The ruling party has an edge over the other parties, in exercising some acts which can be defined as unruly.(hey, I can talk round and round a straight matter!!)It has been alleged that the voters were given cash for casting their vote,and many were given gift articles by the party workers who demanded they vote for the particular party.Our servant maid is from a nearby slum, where the ruling party has given a cash of rs.500 for each person to be loyal to the 'thalaivar'.
All the slum dwellers were given uniformly rs.500 to ensure they vote for them.Our driver, security, milkman all have made good money!!
