Hi-Tech Vs People’s Rule -Andhra Elections

Andhra Pradesh is one of the key states, which will go to polls on April 16 and April 23. The state will have Lok Sabha as well as the Assembly elections. Andhra Pradesh is a state that has given more Congress chief ministers in the past and it is predominantly a state, which gives importance to Agriculturists. The Congress in the past have given lots of subsidies to Agriculturists which has put Andhra in the map of India as major rice growing state. During the 2004 elections, the Telugu Desam Party(TDP) suffered a complete rout in Andhra Pradesh, while its alliance partner BJP was wiped out. This time, the situation is completely different. The TDP has dumped BJP and emerged stronger than last time.

 In the 2004 Lok Sabha elections, the Congress registered a great victory both in Assembly and Lok Sabha polls in Andhra Pradesh. Andhra Pradesh was the state that helped Congress to form the government at the Centre.

While the BJP is not in a position to win Lok Sabha seat in Andhra Pradesh, the main contest will be between Congress and TDP. Praja Rajyam(PR)  has received overwhelming response in the state and its party cadres have been campaigning in every nook and corner in the state for over three months. But it’s not sure whether that will convert into votes.

The TDP has emerged stronger and with a new partner Telanga Rashtra Samithi(TRS), it is expected to do much better than last time. The Congress, which is fighting regional issues, may lose a a few seats, but the battle will be tough for both parties.

Both Congress and TDP are worried over Chiranjeevi’s (PR) rising popularity in the state.  Given the ground reality in Andhra Pradesh, it is difficult to predict which party will win more seats. The TDP and TRS are part of the Third Front now. While most people predict a hung Assembly in Andhra Pradesh, there could be a neck-to-neck race between the Congress and TDP-led alliance in the Lok Sabha polls. Since the election is still a month’s away, the situation may change over the next few weeks and the Congress could work hard to retain power in the state and win maxmium Lok Sabha seats. It would be interesting to see how people will respond to five-year Congress rule, TDP’s new image and Prajya Rajyam’s promises

Key Contestants:

1)     Congress                                                                               

2)    TDP and TRS  (Third Front) 

3)     Prajya Rajyam (Chiranjeevi’s Party)  

With PR giving importance to youngsters, females and bringing a change to the people of Andhra, Chiranjeevi will definitely win a few seats in both the elections. It might be a real miracle if PR assists the Congress to form the government.

 The TDP and TRS are joining hands with other parties in India to form the Third Front, which will be a good contestant for the Congress. No wonder if the Third Front, wins! 

With the vote bankers splitting between PR ,TDP and TRS , will the Congress be able to win a good number of seats in AP? Time alone will tell !

In my opinion the party which caters to the needs and problem of the agriculturists will alone come victorious in the election. Mere sugar coated words will not help to solve the problems. Issues mainly related to these agricultural problems, rising prices and resultant inflation rise are some problems prevailing around the state. The moment we think of these problem we are reminded about the measures taken by united front government and state Government to solve these problems. The measures taken are not satisfactory in solving the issues. The people in Andhra Pradesh should think of their problem they face on day-to-day life and cast their votes intelligently.

India Tomorrow

India General Elections 2009 are just round the corner. The largest democracy of the world is going to polls to choose their representatives. This huge process, beginning on April 16 will go on till May 13, 2009 and the people of India will have new government in place by June 2, 2009. 

Will India see a New Prime Minister in the 15^th Lok Sabha election? Who will win the majority number of seats, Congress or BJP? Every day the media comes with a new, shocking news and no one knows what’s going to happen. Will there be more individual contestants. Will the third front lead the race. Lots and lots to probe …… but whats the role of the youngsters in the Election? Will there be a Change in India … what we want to see/have? 

With all the hype from all sources of communications viz. media, newspaper, radio, campaigns and of course the Internet…, youngsters/civilians are thrilled to elect a New Government where there is No poverty, No criminal politicians, No bribery, secure country and what not.  

In this post I would like to explain a State wise analysis of the Election’09 and the “Change we all need”. But before I start a state wise survey, analysis, I would like to explain about what the people/youngsters expect. 

Here in India we need to change a lot… Bribery prevails in each and every corner, Education, Work, Politics, and Sports. Wherever you go, money plays its role. As they say, the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer. No Security, do you all expect to see another 26/11 attacks. And I also heard that the government has planned to spend nearly 2 crores to save (from Pakistan) the terrorist who has been caught by our brave NSG commando’s.

                                                                                                                     

No Criminals at all. I guess this is really impossible especially in North India. Thanks to Times of India to highlight these kind of issues. They have listed down the entire politicians name who have been accused earlier and the cases which are still pending in the court. 

So as said earlier we will see a state wise analysis of Tomorrow’s India.
