As the title suggests, Indian General Elections are like a festival which repeats itself every 5 years. Every candidate meets almost every citizen in his or her constituency to lure them for votes. The towns and cities are full of expensive banners and campaign material put up at every nook and corner promoting candidates of different political parties. The important part of this entire hullabaloo is that there are hundreds of supporters of candidates of Big parties who are involved in the election campaign. Most of these are unemployed youth and who do not even bother ‘who’ finally wins the election. It’s just leisure for them. Being unemployed and young, these boys do not have any criteria themselves to choose a suitable candidate, who would address their cause. They are least bothered about choosing a candidate or following one who will provide them with employment if in case the candidate wins.
Anyways, General Election is an event of promises and lies. The political party which can make biggest promises wins the election and then falls into a trap of “Over commitment and under delivery” later during the term. The Opposition keeps up the spirit of the game throughout the 5 year term by blaming the ruling party of avoidable mistakes. Enter, the next General Elections and a charity of Millions of Common Man’s hard earned money.
To conclude, I would say that the Indian General Elections is an unwanted festival which is wastage of public money. This money could be used for the betterment of millions of street urchins of India.
