A political love story

Finally, on a relaxed Sunday when usually everyone wakes up late and schedule movies and lunch programs with friends and relatives, today however must have been a different one. With the Maharashtra-Haryana state election results being declared since morning, the common man must have been glued in front of their led-screens, counting each seat, as their favourite party lifted up inch by inch.

Many channels began with their exit poll predictions since dawn, with predictions of Modi-led-Lotus to lead the day. And minute by minute, it happened as it was predicted, the dream of our PM began manifesting with the first rays of the sun. In the allotted time frame for campaigning, Prime Minister NaMo gave 38 rallies altogether in Maharashtra and Haryana. Having faced, a break up over seat sharing with their more than two decade old ally Shiv Sena in the Maha-city and Congress's history of never losing in Haryana, the victory seemed tougher. No matter what the circumstances were, NaMo's determination of serving people and a Congress-free Nation was immensely repeated and emphasized, until it turned into reality. With a win in 47 seats out of 90 in Haryana, NaMo led BJP into a majority thrusting the oldest political party Congress into a setback with 22 seats, impotent to even sit in the opposition. Similarly, in Maharashtra BJP lead with +122 seats out of 288, falling short of 23 seats to form a government. The biggest turn came in with Congess's ally NCP ditching its former mate and offering to give an outside support to BJP, if it desires to form a government with them. However BJP's old partner Shiv Sena, remarked that it awaits BJP's proposal for a collation.

A conflict of ethics turn up as people around the country await for BJP to pick up a side. Siding with NCP, a former side mate of INC, BJP might lead into some of the biggest post-election controversies, as NCP has been a part of the party that Modi has lead his reform of eradication against.

Considering SS, BJP seems lesser worried about proposing it as the pre-election arrogant and firm Uddhav Thakare has turned soft and inviting. It can be another way of BJP retaliating in a silent manner, proving their caliber of gaining the remaining 23 seats without SS's support. However, NCP's sudden influence, of coming into party again, though with a collation seems like a budding political love story.

Politics, with all these moves yet again proves its unreliability on either side. And amidst the hustle-bustle of results the Indian Hockey team's confiscation of Sultan Johar Cup by their 2-1 victory over Great Britain, and FC-Northeast Vs Goa-FC Indian Super League 1-1 draw remained a hidden topic.

Finally, now the nation looks ahead to Mr. Modi for his promises and development schemes. The 65% below 25 youth looks for employment schemes, farmers hope for a better price to their crops, oldies look for a worry-free pension directly hopping into their bank accounts without dragging their heels in government offices from desk to desk and the common man still looks for a further depreciation in fuel prices. Good for all including him, if NaMo materialises his dream in the dedicated time frame; however, our nation's present situation goes handy with the Hindi phrase- "Ek anaar, 100 bimaar."
