Its reaching the crescendo - honestly not much has changed in the parties and in the candidiates running for the elections. I will try my best to bundle what I am aware of whats happening .
1) NDA announces Advani as PM candidate .
2) UPA - the incumbent alliance has differences amongst themselves - Congress finds itself being marginalised in states where they are not dominant .
3) Advani appeals to youth -opens a facebook profile, goes to the gym ( a major PR campaign) to reach to the youth voters ( honestly this is very amusing to me ).
4) Third Front appears - a bunch of regional parties whom the BJP nor the Congress are willing to give weightage to but has to woo post elections.
5) BSP's Mayawati appears to be a strong kingmaker ( as I write this I am also watching an entire episode on her rise ) .
6) The actual campaign colours begin with the Varun Gandhi hate speech.
7) BJP and its allies attacks PM Manmohan Singh.
8) PM Manmohan suddenly bares his fangs - says he refuses to get into a TV debate with L K Advani for that would legitimise the latter's claim to being the next PM ( I loved his retorts ) .
9)The Samajwadi Party launched its election manifesto - and man its hilarious - ban computers ( what would friends Anil Ambani do with his Reliance Infocomm and Amitabh Bachchan with his blog !!)
10) The mood in electorate is somewhat like this - If Congress comes to power , I am ok with it.if its BJP then I would leave the country and if BSP's Mayawati becomes the PM - I would settle in Congo !!
11)Eventually everybody is moving in such a way that - 'you are my enemy, I dont like you ,I hate you and I cant stand the sight of you - but yes wait in case we are in a good position to form the govt post elections I am willing to sit with you and talk !!!!
All in all - wish I could vote online from here without going to my hometown .Its a huge excerise and needs to be carefully thought through, maybe someday it will happen...
