As elections to the 17th Indian Parliament officially starts today with first phase of voting to the 91 lok sabha constituencies, anxiety, distress and fear are gripping the majority of the countrymen who are economically, socially and politically concerned. Which party will win more number of seats and who will become the next prime minister of India? The rapid heart beat of most Indians were loud and audible like drum sound during the past 5 years when the great constitution and all the institutions of India were in a highly dangerous situation and the mother India was helplessly weeping under the dictatorship of Narendra Modi - Amit Shah trio.

The present free India is the result of the great sacrifices made by many great selfless souls. Numerous people across the length and breadth of the country had given up their comfort, property, valuables and even lives for the sake of the country and its people. They belonged to different religions and castes. They hailed from different regions of the land. Even some foreigners contributed greatly in India's freedom struggle by participating, guiding and backing our fights for independence.

The free India in 1947 was not in the present state. There were many monstrous challenges in front of infant India. But thanks to the efficiency, sincerity, dedication and honesty of our great former heroes, the country could solve all the problems one by one and emerge as one of the most developed super powers of the world. Today India - the largest democracy in the world - is second to none in most fields. All the former prime ministers and their governments until 2014 deserve heartfelt gratitude and respect for their valuable contributions from each and every person who loves the country.

But the BJP government that formed in 2014 with huge promises with Narendra Modi as the prime minister, has proved as a disastrous one for the country and utterly disappointed the people of the country. As Modi had a different agenda to fulfill at the cost of the country's future, many of his implementations affected the country adversely. However Modi repeatedly claimed and widely advertised that the present development of the country is a result of his personal work even though the fact is that it is the fruit of the efforts of the previous visionaries.

Modi's rule in India is considered by most people as a dark age. Modi is accused of trying to make India 'a Republic of hate'. Modi is termed as a 'prime minister of intolerance' by the international community. 

India's prime minister Narendra Modi is a talented demagogue who can deliver attractive speeches and easily deceive and manipulate innocent people. His special 'selling' skill is applied in false self promotion and mean publicity. There are apparently a group of big sharks behind him (who are hugely benefited by his monstrous scams) to run his publicity campaigns.

Even though the majority of people in the country are against Modi's BJP coming to power again, people are of the opinion that Modi and group will exploit the present political situation prevailing in the country and use all their resources to regain power. The world has been witnessing how Modi is using all the top institutions in India to scare and make his criticizers shut their mouths. People believe that Narendra Modi has been blackmailing even top autonomous institutions and even the judiciary to act in his favor. Moreover Modi and Amith Shah have a special skill to buy MPs at huge price or secure them by hook or crook in the event of winning less seats. Narendra Modi also knows well that he will have to pay heavily for all his wrong-doings and hidden scams if some other party forms government in 2019.

So people are of the opinion that Modi only will become the prime minister again in 2019 as he is a master in exploiting and manipulating things...!

Actors Jagadish vs Ganesh Kumar in Pathanapuram Polls 2016

Popular Malayalam comedy actor P V Jagadish Kumar is contesting as a UDF (Cong) candidate against his film colleague K G Ganesh Kumar of LDF (KC-B) in the Pathanapuram Assembly constituency of Kollam District in the forthcoming Assembly elections 2016. Even though villain actor Bheeman Raghu also is in the race as a BJP candidate, people are found not much bothered about his candidature. However some people think that the BJP can influence the verdict by diverting some of the regular voters.

The popular question is who among the two film stars will win the Pathanapuram Assembly constituency which comes in the Mavelikkara Parliament constituency. This time the Pathanapuram Constituency Elections in Kerala, picked up momentum due to the switching of allegiance by Ganesh Kumar from the UDF to the LDF (even though he had earlier won on the UDF ticket).  While being an ally of the UDF and enjoying power as a minister, Ganesh's own father and the Kerala Congress (B) party president R Balakrishna Pillai had a number times demanded for the removal of his son from the cabinet for not being loyal and obedient to his father and the party and had announced his removal from the party several times.

P V Jagadeesh Kumar who is new to politics was earlier known as a Congress sympathizer. As per the opinion of people, he owns a clean image and neat character while compared to his opponent and it is expected that it may be an advantage for him to win more votes. On the other hand, K B Ganesh Kumar who won three times from the Pathanapuram seat as UDF candidate had been a minister also twice. Even though he is notorious for his weak character and his involvement in many cases, he is considered as an active worker and as a vibrant MLA he enjoys people's appreciation.

We need to wait till the elections are held and the votes are counted to know what is in the minds of the voters and whom the people prefer. Whether it is an experienced MLA without any policies or a fresh candidate with a clean image. More over the winning chances of the candidates will also depend to some extend the current political wave prevailing in the state favouring one of the three fronts...! 

Tamil Nadu Assembly Election 2016: Who will Win? DMK or AIADMK Alliance?

Elections in India are not a mere matter of prestige or just a run for power and positions. It is something more than that. It is a 'do or die' battle for survival. In states like Tamil Nadu, the intensity of the electoral battle will be severe. The loser will be subjected to severe hardships by the winner. Hence to remain in power or to enter in positions, the politicians go to any extreme and resort to taking any steps without leaving no stones unturned.  

With regard to doing corruptions both leading parties like DMK and AIADMK have proven their skills. But no party in India could equal AIADMK chief and incumbent Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa in indulging in huge scams some of which sent her to jail even when she was in power. But she could succeed to some extend in winning the appreciations of many average people, who are not much bothered about huge scams, by offering them some sops. 

To capture the lost position in the government, the DMK party and to retain in power for another 5-years-term, the AIADMK are making many strategies. Many big and small parties are seen making many plans either to rule or to be with the rulers. Apparently many parties are hesitant to make any ties with the BJP fearing it will do more bad than good.

Already the Congress and the DMK have entered in to a pact. And actor turned politician Vijayakanth's DMDK is also likely to join the DMK-Congress alliance. Many smaller parties also are joining this alliance, the fight is expected to be a tough one.

Who will win more seats and form the government in the Chennai St George Fort is not predictable at this stage. Even though many survey companies and news channels would conduct poll surveys and opinion polls, they too cannot be taken for granted. What is in the minds of people and which party will form the governement in Tamil Nadu will be revealed on May 19th, 2016.

2016 Indian Assembly Election Dates, Details, Opinion polls, surveys

The chief election Commissioner of India Dr Nasim Zaidi on Friday (March 4th) officially announced the dates and other important information about the conduct of the Assembly Elections to be held to the four Indian states and one UT. With this announcement, the model code of conduct has come in to force in these states and union territory. 

The elections to the state assemblies of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry will be held on May-16 in a single phase on one day. And it will be conducted in Assam in 2 phases and in West Bengal in six phases starting from 4th April and ending on 16th May, spread over 43 days.

The counting of votes will be held on 19th May, 2016 in all these states and the results will be made known following the counting. 

This time the electronic ballot boxes (EVMs) to be used in the election will have photos attached to the names of each contestants to avoid the confusion of voters that may arise due to the increased number of fake candidates with similar names of the official candidates who can split some votes and can adversely affect the winning chances of the candidates. 

Another speciality of this election is that 'NOTA' (none of the above button) which is gaining popularity and getting more votes due to the wrong selection of candidates by some parties, also will have an official symbol. 

Even though some news channels have started collecting and airing some opinion polls and surveys to measure the winning chances of parties and candidates, seeing the pathetic failure of different survey and exit poll results conducted and declared by popular news channels and companies in the past, people have lost faith in any of them. 

The actual results of the elections will depend upon many actors. Some factors that are prevailing now and some incidents that may occur during the time of election will also influence the voters' minds. Parties particularly the oppositions in all these states are busy making alliances with other parties for a marginal victory and overthrowing the governments in power by hook or crook..!

Election time is considered as a golden period for most people particularly the mass vote bank who get money, liquor etc from all parties and contestants and many sops by the parties who lure them easily and cheat them there after for five years. The most pathetic part is that we will be forced to see many violences and deaths related to theses elections.

WHO IS IN & WHO IS OUT...?

As there are only ten days left for the much awaited US presidential, not only the Americans but the entire world is eagerly waiting to know who the 45th US president will be...! Though there are many survey results and opinion polls giving slight weightage to the incumbent President Barack Obama, the latest final surveys are showing equal points for both which is feared to end in a tie-up...!

But many silent voters who do not participate in the opinion polls and surveys are expected to be with the Romney camp to see Mitt Romney as the next (45th) President of the United States of America...!

Political  observers and some poll evaluations  are of the opinion that at the end there may be a marginal victory for the new candidate Mitt Romney...!

The world is earnestly praying God to give America a suitable president who can lead it towards peace and prosperity...!

US Presidential Election 2012: Barack Obama vs Mitt Romney: Who will be the Next (45th) US President ...?

The world is keenly and anxiously watching towards the US presidential elections 2012 to be held in less than two weeks from now. The two presidential candidates, sitting Democrats president Barack Obama and Republican candidate Mitt Romney are left in the fray for the final fight. All the open debates have ended with one held in Florida on Tuesday with neither of the Candidates winning a knock-out punch ...!

Though opinion polls give little weightage to president Obama, Mitt Romney's side also are of the opinion of a marginal victory. Hence neck to neck fight is sure. The results of Opinion polls may not (need not) be exact hence still there is a mixed response in the probable out come of the prestigious presidential election 2012.

Any how within two weeks time there will be an end to all the anxiety and America will have the 45th President elected.

Best wishes to the New (45th) President of the US in advance...! (Barack Obama or Mitt Romney???)
