Indian Elections- A new dimensions

The election fever has hit the world’s largest democracy, every news channel has started dedicating a whole hour on the upcoming elections. Newspapers have started posting articles on the election trends. People’s conversations have become more like “Enri BJP na Congress?” So is it going to be BJP Or Congress? Another set of people are debating on which community is voting for which party?and like always there are people who find their niche in shouting that nothing is going to change in this country.

These were the common set of diseases that affected the country during the Election season.
However there’s something entirely new in this election season. Something that was dormant all these days. There is a new dimension of thought among the common people. This is an election that the world is watching with keen interest. The world is counting on the people of India to deliver a stable government for the good of the India and the good of the world.

This new dimension and a much needed one, taking into consideration the fact that all these days, election manifestos only spoke about “roti kapda makan, pani aur bijli”. We as a country have started looking at the socio-economic impact of the elections. The kind of policies that the new government would bring in order to propel India’s growth dreams. The media is questioning the contesting parties on what their strategy is in tackling the countries Economic turmoil. The corporate India is asking the parties how they’d tackle the infrastructure issues and the energy deficit that the country is facing.

I truly believe that as a nation we are asking the right questions and we’re having the right debates that a nation should have when it’s just about to enter the election mode. There is no doubt that there are people who are in need of “roti kapda and makaan”, but we are also in desperate need of policies which would burgeon economic growth, strengthen the manufacturing sector, solve the energy crisis. I do know that these are a complex set of problems, which is unique to our nation and it would require a strong, stable and a innovative government which would be willing to confront these problems and chalk out an effective plan and implement such a plan. 

I hope in the elections to come, we the people of this country ask the right questions and most of all elect the right people who'd take this wonderful country forward.
