EDITOR'S COLUMN
Friends
We are into the budget month of the year. However with election due in April, the government in Delhi may not be able to present the customary union budget in Feb. Election fever is heating up with main protagonists Congress and BJP are already with daggers drawn at each other. Last assembly election, if can be considered indicative, then BJP is the clear winner compared to Congress. Of course having the adequate number to rule is a different ball game. According to all prophesies, its going to be BJP as the party with largest number of seats, but still well short of majority. It is true that with their star campaigner Narendra Modi, they are hoping to inch towards a comfortable number. If that happens, there may be more parties joining the winner, although many of these regional parties are still not cosying upto BJP. So it’s a big waiting game.
But there could be a dark horse, in the name of AAP. Although they have done spectacularly well in Delhi assembly election, would they repeat at the national level, is a very big question. The current governance at Delhi has not inspired confidence. However sentiments are at times can be funny. It is difficult to say anything with certainty. One has to wait & see. In any case there will be change of guard in the portals of parliament this time round. Which combination of players shall make it to the treasury benches is a dicey question. The uncertainty prevailing at the moment, across the country wagers no possible guess to the outcome. Only when the counting is complete, the picture can emerge. However, all Indians only wish and pray that, there is a stable government. Lets hope we have it.
Being, a new entrant in the political arena, we have tried to focus on the two main protagonists of the possible change in the country, we have Focused on both Anna Hazare and Arvind kejriwal. Kindly revert with your thoughts.
