Game-'Bol' Or Gamble?
The entire political system in India has become corrupt and politicians are looking for personal gains instead of serving the country. Why is it that a common person like me cannot do anything to change the system other than just 'VOTE'?
BE IT the UPA or the NDA...or be it the Third Front or the Fourth front...Political parties and its members have become so preposterous that there is no room in their "head" to mull over "People"! Every politician or a citizen calls India, the world's largest and vibrant democracy in the world, as the Indian constitution states..."It is a government… for the people, of the people and by the people." But today's politicians have completely wiped "People" off their heads. It is the same people, who are getting the raw end of the deal.

For Eg:- Rahul Gandhi has criticized Chandrababu Naidu of being negligent about the rural AP. Later his verdict became sanguine calling Chandrababu Naidu a capable CM for bringing a drastic change and developing the IT sector. Similarly, he made statements against Nitish Kumar about him being incapable in Bihar. Later he corrected his statement calling Nitish Kumar another dedicated man to his service in the state.

 
Does Rahul Gandhi even know what he is talking about? Or is it just to pretend like other sober, courteous natty netas, to gain votes? Or is it the "Gandhi" brand that makes him say anything he can because he is the next politicial inheritor of the prestigious Gandhi family? The situation is dire for Congress as they don't have any option than the so called "Gandhi" family. It is only because of this family's name that people have to undergo a bludgeoning situation in the country.

 
Similarly, Take the Third Front......TDP playing a crucial role, had an alliance with NDA in the 2004 elections...but today it blames NDA government for its loss in AP and ties up with the Left, TRS and others. Another example here is the TRS, which had an alliance with the Congress in the 2004 elections in AP as it was deceived by YSR’s government. Now the same party is compelled to tie-up with the Third Front.

 
There is also the Praja Rajyam- a cleverly named political party intimating populism has made a big splash in the shortest possible time. It came out with policies in its agenda like "fight political corruption", "support the downtrodden" and "social justice". But hasn't it played a role in minting money for giving its candidates seats in the 2009 elections?

 
In fact, its just like another political party that has come out for a political gamble and gamebol. As Chiranjeevi's rapacious and arduous efforts of being AP's Obama (a weapon of mass seduction propagating "change") have been thrashed, it has led to the party's self-destruction and turning out to be an impediment to other parties in the state.

 
Be it SP's call for ban on English throughout the country or be it BSP's Mayawati wanting an IAS offcier to feed her a piece of cake on her birthday or gunning him down for not gifting her something for her birthday. There is not even a sign from politicians to think about the country and its development other than to think of fame, power and money!

 
Take Loksatta for example: - Can Jayaprakash Narayan be the only one to make a difference in the country unless he becomes the next "Gandhi"? Oh…’Gandhigiri’ in these days? People prefer "Dadagiri" to Gandhigiri....isn't it? A party like this has come up against caste politics, Vote-bank politics and to set an example as one to clear all the evils prevailing in the present situation.
 
But the truth is...how many among us would vote for such a party that fights against political corruption and other evils? When people would vote for such a party...it could set an example for people wanting the most clichéd word "change"- i.e. born out of passions and impatience of a man. But seems like Indians are too patient everywhere, even when it comes to ruining their future in such shallow parties' hands.

Politicians have become uncouth, unkempt and fiendish and plutocrats acting like juggernauts of people's problems and trying to bait one another to clamp power.

Why is it that a common person like me cannot do anything to change the system other than just "VOTE"? Why is it that I have no other way to express my impatience towards the unjust governance? They say the youth could turn out to be the most rebellious and vanguard weapon a country could have and face. But how many among today's youth are concerned about the country? Well, leave the country, about their state, city or village? Maybe a handful of them, but even they cannot make a difference just by voting.

 
Keep thinking....This is just another kind of rhetoric which leads you to a chain of rhetoric and the final result is yet open to guesswork!
