The congress- NCP have been declared the clear winners of State assemly elections and that is what every god damn News channel have been beaming since dawn. As i travelled towards the city i could see people holding flags of their victorious parties and celebrating for the same.But do i really care about the results or let me put it this way, do the results make me feel happy or sad. Frankly it does'nt evoke any kind of emotions mainly due to my apathy towards the political system. Its very hard to believe people whose asssets have exponentially increased disproportionate to their income during the last five years can provide a reason for me to vote for them. I would rather vote for a system that stems out corruption in my country, vote for a system that speaks less and works more. Its strange that no political party speaks of bringing halt to corruption or getting some transparency in their poll agenda.
Security was important poll issue for Mumbai specially after 26/11 , but i couldnt find one politician speaking about it , rather more focus was on the issue "Son of the Soil" ( if you know what i mean).
The fact that people are been given a holiday,malls are shut so that they could come out and declare their mandate. All this for a voter turnout of 50% is hard to digest. Its more of a blot on the political system , how could you pronounce victory when half the city doesnt vote.
Its just that the feeling has creeped in that they are all the same, no party is as good or as bad as the others. They thrive in the same system , make merry as long as they are around. And common people are left to think as to where we are heading as a country as India.
