ASSEMBLY ELECTIONS: INSIDE CONFLICTS

For the upcoming assembly elections, parties face a tough time

That’s why BJP has already announced Prof. Vijay Kumar Malhotra as their candidate for CM. On the third side, BSP supremo, Mayawati has made Brahm Singh Bidhuri as the new state president and has entrusted the responsibilty of make election strategies on the shoulders of Nasimuddin Siddiqui.

Every leader wants more and more of his people to get tickets. And for the same all parties are facing trouble. They have to face opposition as well as unhappy people within the party. It makes them weak and that’s what is happening now. If candidates are selected on the basis of ability and performance, many names would get cut. A dilemma each party faces.

UPA: PRE-POLL SOPS

The government's slew of sops on the eve of polls would not bring them the desired results

Opines Shantayanan Devarajan, World Bank’s chief economist for South Asia Region, “Politicians are more interested in cutting ribbons than ensuring better maintenance of the existing project. They prefer to inaugurate a school building rather than supervise teachers'' attendance in already running schools”.

But do such last minute sops influence voters? Disagrees Organisation for Reasearch, Survey and Analysis director S.K.Varma, “These five minutes of hard-work won’t serve any purpose. It’s a usual folly of the leaders to take the electorate as blind fools. Now people consider the ruling party or present incumbent MPs’ performance for all the five years and not just a five-day gimmickry towards the fag end of their tenure."

But politicians don’t think in those terms. They feel it is their duty to fulfill their promises – howsoever notional it may be – before going back to the electorate. “We are answerable to our electorate. We can’t fool them all the time. This is why, each person wants to at least lay a foundation stone of a promised project or inaugurate it, in case the project is ready”, says Rajesh Varma, leader of BSP Parliamentary party in the outgoing Lok Sabha. Perceptions are bound to change, depending upon the the side of fence you are. Opposition BJP leaders are obviously critical. “What were they doing for past five years? Had they worked efficiently, they could have easily avoided the last minute rush”, says BJP MP Manoj Sinha. The grass may be greener on the other side, but politicians shouldn’t leave bulk of their work for election-eve. This isn''t the festival season, where consumers will buy products on the basis of last minute promotions. It''s the whole five year package that counts when it comes to elections.
