Battleground Delhi - BJP Vs AAP
Countdown begins for the D-day, Feb10, 2015
Officially 40 crores of rupees, one
lakh staff and police personnel were involved in last Delhi assembly election in the
end of 2013. This is as per official information available on the net and from other
news agencies. While on road in traffic, people in Delhi hardly heard any song
on FM channels, as all political parties came with all sorts of attractive
punch lines to allure us. Some focused on tradition, some one corruption and
some only ‘change’! Of course we, the people, generated all TRP and made it a
hit.
After the election was over, with
lots of hope, expectation and expenses, what could not be achieved was a stable
and honest Government in the state of Delhi, the Capital of India. After a lot
of dilemma, AAP (Aam Admi Party) formed a Government with ‘unconditional support’ of Congress from outside, even AAP were at the second place in the rally after BJP
(Bharatiya Janata Party) and to the utter shock, on 49th day they quit.
Leaving Delhi for another assembly election. What a waste!
The stage is set again (with 40
crores?) and actors are ready as always for the show on February 07 and the
result on February 10th. In between a lot of drama, surprises, actions and
emotions will be a part and parcel at our own expenses once again. Because we
are happy to be a king for one day in five years, sometimes earlier, one year?.
But, who cares!
In my mind, when I watch it from the
side of drape, I see the election campaign is a complete corporate affair.
There are truly interesting with proper management in each section. May that be
planning on the each TV or FM campaigns, rallies and all related activities. There
is no room for mistakes. Media certainly do their duty to add more spice and some
fine touch, to make it more interesting each hour. Well you see “The Nation
Wants to Know!”
For last week or so a very
interesting ad is aired on all FM channels. Many times it’s on multiple
channels together, so it’s difficult to miss. An elderly lady utters in an
upset voice, “We relied and showered our confidence in you; and you left in
49days? Never again!!”
Now the other one, which starts in a
cozy and super friendly voice: “Friends (Dosto)! I heard an elderly lady in
radio says in grief ‘Never again’. It was a mistake and will not do anymore”. I
don’t believe when the ad ends with, “give us another chance and don’t be so upset;
now smile a bit please”. All happens in Hindi though and all through light background
music goes on! Unbelievable!! I can’t stop laughing loud each time I listen to
this.
They know exactly how use the
sentiment of common people and how much we remember about past. So each time how
to trap them is just a easy game!
It’s time for an exam on our patience as well. So, let's wait and watch!
