IT IS AN IRONY OF FATE THAT OUR POLITICAL PARTIES, BOTH NATIONAL AND REGIONAL, ALL HAVE FORGOTTEN THE BURNING ISSUES FACING THE COMMON MAN. THERE IS UNRELENTING & INEXORABLE RISE IN INFLATION, CORRUPTION, SCAMS, CRIMES, RAPES, MURDERS, NAXAL ATTACKS, OTHER ECONOMIC OFFENCES THROUGH OUT THE COUNTRY, BUT NONE OF THE PARTIES, CENTRAL OR STATE GOVERNMENTS ARE SERIOUS ABOUT THE REAL PROBLEMS, AND THEY ARE FULLY ENGAGED IN THROWING MUD ON EACH OTHER OR THEIR LEADERS BY LAUNCHING VERBAL VILIFICATION COMPAIGNS.
MEDIA ALSO, PARTICULARLY TV CHANNELS, ARE ADDING FUEL TO THE FIRE BY HOLDING LONG & HEATED DEBATES ONLY ON CURRENT/FUTURE OF POLITICAL ALLIANCES, LEAVING ASIDE COUNTRY’S PEOPLE RELATED CONCERNS.
PERHAPS EGOISM IS OVERRIDING POLITICAL LEADERS' GOOD SENSES AND THEIR EYES ARE PRESENTLY SHUT ON REALITIES OR THEY ARE KNOWINGLY DIVERTING THE ATTENTION OF THE PEOPLE FROM REAL PROBLEMS. CAN WE EXPECT SOME END OR CHANGE IN THE PRESENT POLITICALLY POLLUTED ENVIRONMENT IN THE INTEREST OF COUNTRY'S OVERALL DEVELOPMENT?
