Indian Polls: Why do people reject both Congress and BJP?
-DR. ABDUL RUFF
-------------
The rude shock treatment administrated by people of India to India's two major political outfits the Congress and BJP in the just concluded polls for 5 state assemblies unearthed the explosive nature of simmering popular anger against the major parties and would certainly serve as a prelude for the 2014 parliamentary (Lok Sabha) elections.
People have, though very late, realized that both the Congress and BJP by playing joint gimmicks are exploiting the poisonous Hindutva politics as well as popular inability to check their misdeeds for years since 1947.
The elections in Uttar-pradesh were seen as mirror of popular mood of Indian masses and by electing Samajwadi party (SP) the UP which has over 30% m Muslim voters have clearly rejected the false and artificial concerns of both Congress and BJP, the secret allies with Hindutva agenda and have ruled an du ruined the state alternatively and during the BJP rule the the most shameful act of destroying the Babri Mosque by the Hindu terrorists with New Delhi's (Congress party regime) blessings took place.
Fall of elephants in Lucknow and entire UP signals a basic shift in poplar understanding of politics. National parties and their leaders survive thanks to the foolishness and wickedness of regional leaders who always try to divide the opposition by asserting their individual "greatness" in the confederation of parties, thereby letting the Congress and BJP to swindle their votes by mischief through false promises.
In all 5 states people seem to have consciously voted against Congress-BJP duo. These national parties by being the most corrupt parties promoting the wealth of their families and close associates encourages all other parties to to be equally criminal minded, cheating the people. They promote and shield coporate crimes. .
Communists are nowhere seen in any of the 5 states. They are happy with their traditional catchment areas in four states, especially Kerala, Bengal and Tripura, but now even those vote reservoirs have dried up and the related pleasure has also disappeared and chances also gone out of their hands. They, like other national parties have taken people's support for granted and supported the UPA regime against which they fought in polls. They got a Speaker post and lost two major states.
People of India are fed up with both Congress and BJP and their joint political gimmicks for decades now and they expect a third front to emerge soon to serve them honestly.
UP electorate has along with a positive mandate for stability also has provided with a strong message for the new rulers.
The SP government that would assume power in UP soon should fulfill the poll promises, without fearing the BJP or using it o to target the Muslims as the Congress party has been doing. .
