Election thoughts

The Maharashtra assembly elections are going on. Just like any other election, it provides us with plenty of things to ponder about...

Political parties use film stars and other celebrities to entice the common people and make them attend their rallies. It is a highly bad and reprehensible custom. Parties should try to attract people with their pragmatic approach to common man's problems.

The assets of a Maharashtra MLA grew by RS.520 million between the election in 2004 and this year!! I was totally astounded.. I don't think that these people are paying any sort of attention to anything other than their own euphoria after they are being elected by the stupid common men..

The BJP - Sena ally seems to be totally out of touch in Maharashtra. They are still to recuperate from the debacle that they had to face when MNS grew as strong menace. MNS, at the same time, has grown pretty much in popularity. But, quite unfortunately, MNS leaders have got hardly any time to scrutinize the problems faced by common people. They are concentrating on changing the names of institutions and assaulting people from other states. Many of the statements by MNS leaders are totally against the concept of national integration. But besides all these, they have succeeded in gaining some popularity in Maharashtra. That seems quite a premonition
