Here comes the elections, so as the politicians promises!

Well, you need not be a 'rocket-scientist' to know that how come all of sudden the common-man faciliteis situation in India (most of the country) has become very important factor. It is called 'ELECTION FEVER' and no wonder that every politician from 'galli' to 'Delhi' will make every promise to the common man that would never come into reality.

Elections promises are part of an 'election platform', but platforms also contain vague ideals and generalities as well as specific promises. They are an essential element in getting people to vote for a candidate. For example, a promise such as to cut taxes or to introduce new social programs may appeal to voters.

A great number of election promises are broken. Many regard this as a severe issue that disaffects people from the entire political process, increasing apathy and lowering turnout during the voting. Election promises have been broken for as long as elections have been held and this is likely to continue.There are strong pressures on politicians to make promises which they cannot keep. A party that does not make exaggerated promises might appear bland, unambitious, and uninteresting to voters compared to the one that does. Sometimes this can give the exaggerating party an advantage over the truthful one.

Until now in my life time I have never seen a 'true politician' who kept their promise that was made during pre-election time and without any realisation they would simply twist their own words.

When we talk about our own India's pride that will be a never-ending discussion and debate about the history and greatness. But the reality of India's prospects is just the opposite, conventional wisdom aside, the main threat India faces is economic. Slower growth and a stalled program of economic reforms could endanger India's stability.

Still it is a great mystery that none of the political party in Parliamentary(Centre) and Assembly (state-elected) elections aroused fears about its political viability, but not about its economy. Talk about recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai and series of clustered-bomb blasts across the country (important cities that are very much into business prospects). More on that talk on Economic issues, in contrast, stirred little alarm. They played practically no role in the elections, despite the current slump in India's economy and the meltdown in East Asia. Instead, most observers assumed that continued economic reforms, even at a slow pace, would keep India moving forward on the higher GDP growth path of six to seven percent attained in recent years.

There has been a great shift of awareness for the public and people about every aspect of their life, media has playing a major part of it and every means of media has a greater responsibility to convey the real 'truth' message to the people and not by simply running few test runs about a certain political party victory in upcoming elections.

Hope every citizen of India with voting-right will think twice about peace & prosperity for them and for country before casting their vote. It may be a piece of paper or pressing a button, but it is a very powerful arsenal for every 'voting rights citizen' and think twice before using your power!

May god bless people of INDIA and save from bad omen!
