Smear the Ink

Well, its time for that one day where people show up their strength in what is called Democratic India, a season where politicians suddenly realize their senses back and spend time on people issues in the form of "campaigning" . We have always seen a stringent Election Commission scrutinizing this whole rigid process and luckily India do have something that works credible in which the politicians are involved.

Here is my analysis on political parties that you actually would be wanting to vote. Before I start let me clarify that all these views are exclusively(Hey Media, even I can insert that word) done by me on some studies, importantly no favoritism to any party and made every effort to make sure that these views are credible & genuine.When it is India you may never know how much parties exist but I've focused only prominent 5 among them to whom you would be obviously thinking to vote.


1. Aam Aadhmi Party (AAP)
Well this party something you can call a revolution in Indian politics with their view of bringing transparency & accountability into politics.
They began with a bang in their debut of Delhi assembly elections,2013 and went onto form govt even though falling 8 short of majority mark. Despite their short tenure of 49 days, they made a huge impact both negatively and positively. They created a flutter by resigning on the cause of their inability to pass crucial Lokpal bill (even bringing CM under it). With their unfinished task of Delhi they jumped into national fray more vigorously with their leader Kejrival taking on BJP PM candidate Modi, bringing a huge flak and resentment among the masses.
For starters this party's ideology is tedious to grab and completely not suitable for realists. This party is so unique that it doesn't work on a single leader unlike the others and every head counts for it. But AAP hasn't come clear on its ideas which is very much needed when you have intentions to rule the nation, they haven't reached the whole nation esp. the South, they're also yet to reach the grass roots of the nation(villages). Some of their leaders have been ambiguous with their statements in damaging nation's sovereignty and they've failed to capitalise the opportunity provided in the form of Delhi to show up their possessed ability to the critics and also enrich the masses with trust.
People who are gonna vote for this must know that this party though promising, it is still incomplete. But still if you're too fed up with Congress and BJP, here is a party that you can vote for.


2. Congress
When someone starts with Congress, Corruption and dynasty politics accompanies with it by default. Such is the impact that party has done in minds of masses, esp. in its 2nd term.
To start, Congress' approach (Bottom-Up) of welfare is surprisingly one of the best governance practices, focusing on rural first & empowering them being their major motive. For this they poured in huge capital but unfortunately they all almost turned bogus due to the middle-man phenomena in the form of stringent bureaucracy and local politicians who galloped the funds provided by the govt. Their efforts to correct them by bringing schemes like Direct Cash transfer, Aadhar seemed to be too late for building a sinking ship.
Post-2G scam primarily staged by DMK, Congress had lost their existing credibility to public & also followed by a number of scams which turned out them to be a big loser. Also our PM acting as a proxy, inability to take swift actions , possessing a soft foreign policy, 2013 Economic crisis and inexperienced Rahul Gandhi being projected as PM tarnished its image further.
To be honest, Congress could have done tremendously with what it had. One could say it found the perfect route but the wrong vehicle. This party can expect votes from its traditional voters but not the majority of the general public who are hugely agitated.


3. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
A huge favorites to win this election, riding on the Modi-wave (created by media or genuine,NEVER KNOWN). One can't rule out that present BJP is vary of the one under the veteran Vajpyee.
This BJP under Modi backed by his million fanatic followings looks like a new avatar and they have took Gujarat Development Model (GDM) as the Brahmastra for their campaign. The sadness is even the educated failed to explore the genuineness of the projected GDM, and they have fallen to the mesmerizing urban side of Gujarat, but what lies beneath Gujarat were concealed and state had performed quite poor for a developed state in social indicators like Child Mortality and Maternal Mortality, HDI etc and states like TN, Kerala faring way above Gujarat. Real data proves that Modi hasn't created any magic on contrary to what is being projected and some regions of state have been seriously neglected in the development framework and there have been cases of even forced land acquisition from farmers to set up Industrial plants. Modi's economics can be said as Top-down approach where the focus is on urban and the rural is expected to grow on its default on the reflection of urban but unfortunately this approach only leads to further inequality of wealth. On closer look one may even say Gujarat's rapid urbanization isn't a big surprise considering the Gujarat's Business' orientation since history times.
Amidst all these stuffs, this party is poised to form the next govt. Despite Modi's alleged communal facade, (which can be tolerated considering the zero-violent Gujarat post-2002) the country can ultimately get for what they have been striving for a decade, a 'strong leader' at center. Having a supreme control over the party and its top leaders even before elections Modi is looking promising and would even probably snub Hindu-fanatic Sangh Parivar groups from going beyond control. (So, Muslims need not worry)


4. 3rd Front
 Well nothing much to analyze about this cluster of regional parties which are eyeing for a step at New delhi. Without a doubt, they are weak-linked. Considering the PM aspirations from every leader of this front, you may never know who's gonna rule tomorrow if they come to power.

5. Communists
To Finish it in a sentence, This party is a joke and will continue to be so.

And finally, NOTA takers.... Don't be so all boasting about for voting across NOTA. Know what it is for and go for it.


Thus, I would like to conclude on behalf of taking a neutral stand, it is nothing much a big difference that this nation will witness even if there is a change of govt at the centre after this election and yet on an optimistic note, all I can put one word is 'HOPE.'
