Elections in 2011

Freebies and Political Parties

With the dust swirling in the air for political parties for electioneering, the manifestos badly reflect the lack of long-development of states of India. We don't need no more freebies, we need the good governance combined with farsightedness. Please don't make us lazier with your freebies and we don't want creating endowments with your family-owned money, giving freebies for garnering votebanks all we need is the duties you have to perform as a responsible politician living up to the mark.

In the name of freebies we are already spoilt enough. See the free televisions distributed in Tamil Nadu. Even in-laws in the family to whole families have 2 to 3 TVs now. Community toilets, public libraries, upgrading primary schools to higher level, promoting research in language development, transparency in administration are need of the hour. What irritates more when you see the channels boasting that under this so-called "government rule" the state was shining and progressed!  The ground reality can be seen if you visit the nearby primary-school infrastructure, the cleaniless of public convenience, working conditions of public library and this list is of course endless! There needs to be a desensitisation as to performance NOT MONEY matters must be carried out among the general public. This is one of the crucial area that people are failing for years not choosing the person who would deliver for them!

Dynastic politics, indifferent attitudes, coalition powers, mushrooming political parties and divisions are often give a backseat in development not progress. Although Electoral officials are doing a good job through electronic media in 2011, this elections are to be watched as to how far the law enforcement is maintained where cash-prone votes are dominant.
