Another weekend passed by and I am still trying to recollect all that I did in the last 48 hours. As far as utilizing the weekend is concerned, I finally gifted myself an AC. This will bring an end to my hue-n-cry, related to humidity and temperature in Mumbai but, in return will bring in additional tensions like maintaining it and paying more every month for this added luxury. But its ok to shell a little extra per month for this luxury rather than abusing the climate god every night after returning from work. Other than that, I cannot recollect anything great that I did during the weekend but the most important thing I did was thinking about a good topic to write upon...Since Politics and IPL are the most talked about things I was thinking about writing about one of them. Politics to be more precise, as there is nothing much that I can discuss about IPL, barring the new rumor about 'match-fixing' in the last week.
Finally as I discussed in my previous blog, election results came out and as expected 'Congress' won the elections and is all set to form the government in the coming week. I had always expected Congress to win these elections and with a huge margin, which I discussed with my office colleagues the day before, to which they laughed saying "It will not be as easy for Congress as you are saying". I thought not to comment further and wait for the results. And as I had rightly predicted, Congress won with a huge margin (number of seats). Not that I am a big supporter of any of these political parties but I think Congress was clear winner even before the elections started as, it is the only party which has maximum young (Youth) netas and most of the people in the country would like to believe that its better to take a risk by voting for these young netas (who haven't done anything as yet or haven't got a chance to prove their mettle) as compared to voting for a party with leaders approaching 60's and 70's and even 80's and have not done anything in these many years. So, I am hoping that the 55-60% population of my country who have decided to bring back the Congress into power get some positive returns (in terms of health, education, infrastructure and less corruption) for the faith that they have shown in the 125 year old party.
More importantly, I am really happy contemplating the fact that finally as I thought and as most of the sane people in the country would have wanted, Mr. Raj Thackrey who was trying to become the 'James Bond' of Indian Politics (especially in Maharashtra) lost the elections. He dint just lose the elections but his party was battered at all the constituencies. Of course, candidates representing his party (MNS) did get some votes but that was just because those people who voted for his party, fell prey to his nonsense talks/speeches and dirty politics. But that wouldn't matter as long as literate people in the country know whom to elect and whom not to. His dreams of reaching the "Parliament House" are shattered and at least for the next 5 years I don't think he will have a single MP from his party.
However, I am also certain about a fact that he will continue to do what he has been doing best, even after profusely losing these elections. He will continue to create communal bias, ill-treat the poor, and make the city of Mumbai, which was once a peaceful city, a hell to live in. I would still suggest Mr.Thackrey to change his attitude and approach so that people accept him well. At least, I used to think that he will prove to be a great leader and do great things for the people when he broke all ties with his Uncle, Mr. Bala Thackrey's party and formed his own party. Alas! that was not the case. I was wrong. In fact, I think he proved everyone wrong by doing what he has been doing. He has successfully ruined his image in the eyes of common people and left no space for his survival among the literate class of the society. I do not say what he is thinking is wrong, but I am saying that his approach to achieve his targets and the way he is giving shape to his thought process is absolutely wrong. It's not just wrong, it's completely pathetic and against the law and culture of the country. I am sure anyone and everyone would agree to what I am saying barring those few supporters, who are part of his party and belong to the same school of thought. Whatever, be the case, I just hope that he learns his lesson soon and do something good for the sake of his party and people.
Not to forget one most important thing: Mr. Lalu Yadav who was also trying to become a Hero by forming a separate group (namely, the 4th Front) and was standing against Congress, got a nightmarish response, which has finally opened his and his other partners like Ram Vilas Paswan, Amar Singh, Mulayam Singh Yadav and many more such hero's (political zero's) eyes. I don't understand why do these guys try to experiment so much so that they trouble their own lives and leave no scope for their survival. I am sure they have all learnt their lessons (the HARD way). Now, they are trying to get back to Congress and Sonia Gandhi is having the last laugh.
Lets wait and watch whats kept in store in the coming week as far as the 'Indian Political League' is concerned.
