Election and people.

Usually people run behind the political leaders. Once in a while political leaders run behind the people and it is the time of election.

It is the time when people actually get to see their faces. If say more specifically smiling faces. Their smile is never so bright and vibrant. They appear in front of the people as the angels of peace ,hope and prosperity.

No humans are perfect. People are not expecting 100 percent honesty. They knows that complete honesty is not something to be expected from political leaders. They are expecting a mere 50 percent honesty and some leaders fails to fulfill even this expectation. For people election is not the time to choose the best, it is the time to choose the better. Because they are afraid of the worst. They are afraid of the beasts behind the smiling faces.

Then there is this rain of money upon people. People fall for it and they fail to see the upcoming drought. There is a spirit in the election if won in a fair way. Blaming others and spreading lies are the routine of coward people. Courageous leaders are those who are willing to accept their faults and mistakes. People expect their leaders to be human and uphold humanity.

One should compete in the election on the behalf of all the people in the country. Not on the behalf of any particular cast,race and religion. Dividing people is a very dangerous act. If a group of people feel that they are insecure then nations unity is in danger.

For many people election is not a duty, it is a burden. For them all the parties are the same and the leaders are the same. It is because ,they believe that no party or no leader can understand their difficulties. It is the responsibility of the candidates to make them believe that they can bring a change. But it should not be a false promise. When they win election it should not be like , 'I was joking..April fool!'
