Election fever Close to election times there is a flurry of activities by spirited individuals ,groups and nascent bodies.They raise a feverish pitch hoping to impress the voters with much needed change.They see hope on the horizon and strength of youth to carry on campaign.Indian politics is entrenched in money and muscle power.They use the systems with doles schemes to keep gullible voters as bonded political slaves.They cultivate,nurse and sustain them with personal needs that matter most of the time.The politicians thus ensure vote banks that will see them through.Money, drinks goddies will flow blinding them momentarily to sell their vote and conscious too How do we account the same people inspite of all the propaganda winning again anf again almost for a life time The illgotten wealth is stacked for a rebound. Those few who are genuinely concerned are to few to make the dent The garbage will be recycled as new wine in old bottle.The youth of today can make the perceptible change for better, but their energies need to be chanelised, focussed and be purposive The attempts and efforts must besustained over long period.They are too busy with their careers and education to afford the luxury of campaigns without finances. Political diehards dream about their wins day in dayout.There is no other profession that gives them a lifetime high intoxicated with the politics, power and pelf
