When my city was to vote, the local consumer price index defied its national trend, and every commodity was at an awesomely low price. Vegetables were low, edible oil, rice, wheat and few other goods were showing--or were being sold at a low price, to woo the voters, I can't say--a downtrend in the prices.The situation really looked rife for a glimpse of good times yet to come: in an absolute synchrony with the ads being shown on TV and other media of an euphoric times ahead.
The voting in my city was reported at sixty five percent--a rise of nearly fifteen percent from the last elections: the rise being claimed to be the initiative of the Steel company, the Government, and several others.
After a week of the elections, the commodities, which were once showing a downtrend, are now pacing ahead of the national index; and thus casting a shadow on the euphoric atmosphere prevailing in India now. Is it an omen or a sign of adversity yet to come?
Thankfully, this time, the man tipped to be the Prime Minister of India, hails from a poor family; and he knows about the woes of the paupers very well. Let's hope that he starts taking the steps right from the word go, to curb all the menaces of the biggest democracy in the world. And he reverses the downtrend in economy; and creates new jobs; and manacles the corrupts; and creates a communal harmonious atmosphere, all at such a pace so as to silence his critics and make this decade really an euphoric and blissful one: the last decade was lost to corruption, which we all are ruing.
Let's hope that his alliance, not his party, gains absolute majority in the lower house; for, in case the latter happens, India may see the real diktat in him; and we may again see the reversal of the old times, when Congress party was in absolute majority, yet it failed to deliver at a pace which was expected of it.
