After All It's People Verdict.

When we think of Indian Politicians general impressions are; they have no principal, selfish, self-centred, can go to any extent, loose character, goon, opportunist...  It is rare to see an IDEAL Politician, yes recently someone had shown hope of utopian politician but experiment failed or is mask thrown from the face.  At least for now we are living with the reality that all, correction, most, of the politician are same, need to be fair with those who are honest and sincere, unfortunately if they reach to recognition level their survival is question.

In this mobility era where updates was not only most intruding but real time, this high pitched and mudsling general election reached not only to most of our country population but also keenly watched by outside world.  Campaign became personal with Modi taunting Rahul Gandhi as Shehzade was answered bitterly by senior congress leader Mani Shankar Iyer that Modi is not fit to be Prime Minister but can serve tea in Congress meeting.  Marital status being linked, how a person who cannot take care of wife can server nation.  ABCD taunt on Congress was responded Modi’s alphabetical premier starts with F that stands for Fake Encounter and ends with G which stands for Genocide.  Attack and counter went on for months billions of dollars spent on campaigns which make common citizens ponder, how the cash drought market is flooded with cash.  Multiple phase of election which went little over a month results on May 16^th showed doors to Congress party which was ruling over a decade, for their miss-governance especially in their 2^nd term.  Ruling party accepted the verdict and as normal process was care taking government till new Prime Minister was sworn in. 

Our country’s system with all its weakness makes politician accept people’s verdict, hats off to the constitutional founders.  Although systems ensures, however bad politician is, to accept defeat.  We should give full credit to the politicians for seamless transition of power which was difficult to imagine when we were witnessing aggressive campaigning by all politicians cutting across party lines. There was great gestures displayed by winning parties, message from BJP President Rajnath Singh to party workers was although it is time to celebrate but not to cause nuisance to others.  During the swearing in ceremony, although rivals, keeping up Indian tradition Nitin Gadkari seeking blessings of arch rival Sharad Pawar.  Amit Shah ensuring that veteran politician is given the due respect by holding hands of Mr.Mulayam Singh Yadav ensured that he is seated in the first row.  As gesture Mr.Advani greeting Sonia Gandhi and exchanging pleasantries. Skeptical can comment, after all politicians are hand in glove, they have gone to the extent of saying match fixing and rivalry shown by political party is gallery show. 

This thinking is taking away credit from all those political leaders who worked hard to win, for the moment let’s keep in abeyance who won, but their efforts to reach out to people should be appreciated. Here we should forgive their maligned image, especially to those voted out.  For many people this would not be a surprise, but for country with a diverse features currently facing many internal sensitive issues pertaining to communal, geographical, water disputes, caste recognition, reservations….this is an achievement and should appreciate this aspect of politician who at the end of the day accepts people’s verdict.
