DANCE OF INDIAN DEMOCRACY

When i was a kid, the word democracy was defined to me as one of the people, for the people and by the people and all other blah blah and blah. Since then i grew up and saw three lokshabha election in my full sense, 1999 ,2004 and now 2009. Thanks god, we managed five year for two times. The common factore of 1999 and 2004 was the common war between sonia gandhi and vajpayee ji. However the difference , 1999 was the war with congress and 2004 was against BJP. In 1999 BJP won where as in 2004 BJP lost. Congress got and opporunity and formed the government which was height of nonsense in nearly every aspect. 2009 is between advani and sonia gandhi. Let's wait for the outcome.

I am not here to describe the election, what i m here for is to understand the degeneration and resurgance of INDIAN POLITICS. Aftermath of third front debacle was a time of uncertainity. The next election saw the politician degrading to new level. The main point was who is the dirtiest one. The output was firm establishment of fact ki "RAJNITI KE HAMAM ME SABHI NANGE HAI". Irony was, matters as old as 5 decades were dug. We were unable to understand what's the importance of all this in present context. No answers. Dirts dirts and more dirts. Politics turned from who is best to who is less dirties. Every Party got criminals as ruler as well as pets. Result, the democracy became a mockery. Ultimately sanity of people was still maintained and somehow BJP formed government. We saw a phase of development, kandhar, kargil and the focus shiftedbto where BJP failed.

2004 was an election where BJP was the main opponent. Every one was fearing if BJP remained they will start dominating indian politics and opposstion united. Cause of self satisfaction, ignorance and overconfidence BJP lost. But the focus of this election started shifting from Dirt to a bit of development. Though still dirty linens were being washed in public. But still it was bit cleaner. Many criminals were fielded and one was fearing that is this waht it takes to be a politician. An essential and most demanded qualification is murder and rape. Many won still by buying votes and castism. Democracy was again a loser but still there was a hope of it's revival. This election was also dominated by godhara. Cause of godhara modi retained power. But modi has something what other's were lacking. Hunger for development. Too see gujrat as vibrant.
Modi has been a factor that led to ultimate revival of democracy.

When State assembly election of gujrat was ultimately announced in 2008, congress again started godhara. But modi was too adamant on development he carried. Ultimately he won and people and poltician realized development makes u win seats. The next election of M.P , RAJASTHAN, CHATTISHGADH AND DELHI saw a fight for development and democracy one.

Seeing resurgance of democracy we are delighted. This election has been dominated by failures of congress till now and development. Congress tried to raise Varun Gandhi an issue but still it was unable to become a plank thank's to BJP. Hope democracy is the winner again. AMEN.
