Its Election Time In Tamil Nadu...

Its election in Tamil Nadu, Pondichery and West Bengal today. As usual we have been forced to hear the promises declared by all the political parties for the past two month which was just to capture power and would never make it in reallity. This is not happening for the first time or for just the past few elections, this has been the trend right from the first election after INDIA got freedom from BRITISH. When i was around 16, i learnt that my country is been ruled by culprits and crminals, i was really taken back and was really worried. But the thing which dissappointed me the most is when i learnt that everybody knows it and no one was worried about it. What a CRAP is this!!!!

I dont know much about the political parties and leaders of north India but i know few things about Tamil Nadu leaders. The two greatest rivals of all time: J JAYALALITHA-AIADMK and M KARUNANITHI-DMK. Both have there own strenghts and weakness. For me these two parties are the only parties which can respected as political party. When you look at other parties like MDMK, PMK, BJP, Congress, BSP, LDMK etc etc can never be considered as a political party and they switch sides every election. They choose their side not based on number of seats allotted to them nor based on the policy of their coalition nor based on the leader. But simply based on the money given to them. Cheap politicians!!!

As in every election, i witnessed new comers in this election too. First and the most expected is VIJAYAKANTH's DMDK. He is one of the famous cinestar of tamil film industry and he has given many successful movies in 25 years of his film carreer. In this election he is contesting in all 234 seats throughout the state. But the saddest thing is that he didnt get the response he was supposed to get. When you look back at the history of this state, it was mostly ruled by ADMK or DMK, both of them didnt do anything big for the state. All that they did was building their own assets. Nothing else!!! So thats why i thought we should better give this new comer a chance, but many didnt agree with my view.

And the next new face is LOK PARITHRAN, a party started by the IIT students. I couldnt believe my ears when i first heard this news some few months back. But later when i read in newspapers and in TV i was raelly thrilled and shocked. I thought students in IIT have gonet mad to start a political party but then they are trying something new and fighting for our nation. So even if i didnt support them, i should not critize them. So i decided to shut my mouth.

And i was excited about this election for one more reason. Because i am 18 years and i am ready to cast my first vote in my life. But to my luck, my name was not in the voter's list and so i could not cast my vote.(How unlucky i am!!!) Anyway nothing much to worry about it as there is not going to be any big change in the state who ever comes to power. Also i feel that the huge money used for election itself is waste!!!
