Who will win BIHAR .. 'Let the last Vote get counted'



This Bihar election is the first major election since the Covid 19 pandamic disrupted the political
calender and prompted sweeping measures for social distencing. The three Phase Bihar Poll for 243 Vidhan Sabha seats was completed on the 7th. The turnout for the poll as per media report was 58%. Today is the vote counting day. By the time the sun sets today , the dawn  of the next political regime in the State will emerge. Will this dawn usher in a new political 'don' or  the "Sarkar Raj" will continue  with  their  "All is Well " narrative for another 4 years.

Will PM Modi, the over used "trump card" political campainer for NDA  be able  to push  back JDU- BJP led alliance once again into rulling Bihar for another four year terms or will he   concede defeat without playing and  crying foul.  Well whatever be the outcome of today's polling verdict, the politics of vendetta and vilifying the  poor will continue.

The problem of unemployment, the plight of farmers, the reverse  exodus of migrant labourers together with booming crime rate and  its growing political nexus has taken away even the bare economic diginity of the common man in Bihar. This State as always  in everyway stands as an illusteration of India's demographic disaster.  PM Modi in all his electioneering campaign kept talking of the 15 years of "junggle Raj" in the State before the NDA era  but  never spoke anything about  the last 15 years of "jungglee Raj" in th State . However as usual  his political rants on  Nationalisim, Article 370 and Phullwama remaind unstoppable.

Tejashwi Yadav is  the 31 year old CM candidate projected by the RJD led Maha-Ghattbandagan, .whereas in the NDA and JDU  led alliance  the CM Nitish Kumar neither gets mentioned as   CM candidate nor figures in any of the Party's bill boards and posters that looks like creepers spread all over  Patna.

 Elections and political campaigning have today  become the survivial kit for our Democracy but Social justice, the soul  of our Democracy  remains  reduced to  academics  that get discussed and debated over our National Media.

Well all said by the close of the day today, as scheduled we will know who  Bihar  will pick up to rule the State for the  next 4 years .Going by the trend it will  be the "YOUTH" but then you never know till the last vote get counted

MY MODISTORY

  I am one among 900  million plus    "nuts and bolts" of our  Democracy , who   become "faceless" faces in the crowd after  every 5 years.  Year 2014 election was in every sense historic It was beyond doubt a landslide victory for BJP and the beginning of  the so called "MODI" Raj  In year 2014 my reason and my josh for  casting my vote for  BJP was "Modi". His speeches were "sparkling confidence" that set ablaze the confidence of  the nation that was trying to rise up from the cesspool of corruption   Looking back now after 11 years I realise that year 2014 was also  the beginning of era called   "Political Branding" that would  covert  a "politician" into a larger than life  "Mega Leader" Perhaps that is the reason that today in politics "anti-incumbency" does not matter at all . Here are  in brief  a Common man's  bunch of thoughts on "Modi Story". These ...

CLARITY IN CHAOS

  The Bhagavad Gita is a living scripture  universally relevant  today as it was 5000 years ago in the battlefield of Kurukshetra. It is a divine conversation that took place in the battlefield of Kurukshetra  between two best  friends, Lord Krishna the Charioteer and Arjuna the warrior.  'Bhagavad Gita' is an integral part of of Indian mythology  I have always believed mythology is not for everyone including me.  So when my friend, the author of the book  "Understanding Bhagavad Gita", gave me a  copy to review , I was not very comfortable.  I like  'Arjuna'  started looking for excuses . However one day not very soon , "The Recipe For A Better Life " the part of the title  hooked me into reading it The author has covered the essence of 'Gita' inside the  160 pages, through   eighteen Chapters.  Every chapter has an "Introduction", a "Summary" and a "Reflection" The simplicity of his writing gives...
