Politicians and You

Every time you go and vote, in the back of your mind do you vote for the politician to win your assembly or you look at the bigger picture and see who do you want at the Center?

The above question can surely will have to talk about good or bad or neutral, but I am not going to thread this part of the water as of now.

Recently concluded Maharashtra elections in which Congress/NCP were the clear winners with 144 seats and about to form the Government with Mr. Ashok Chavan of Congress as the CM and Mr. Chagan Bhujbal of NCP (Nationalist Congress Party) as Dy CM. Well everything was going well when NCP decided to split up the CM seat ie 3 years a Congressman with be a CM and next 2 years of the tenure NCP man will be the CM.

So where does this leave us as voters who cast their vote and shouting out to everyone to come out and vote for a better government and so forth and so on. It leaves us with no CM whose Oath Ceremony was supposed to happen this Thursday ie 29th October.

So what I suggest to the Election Commision, who I think should work for betterment of the people not of the politicians:

• Before the elections, the Party must tell the voters who will be the CM/PM if they win the election
  
• Before the elections, the Parties should tell the voters on who they will be in coalition with (so there will be no king makers and queen makers)
• Before the elections, all the post ie Home Ministry, Defence Ministry etc the parties should declare to the voters who will they be. 

This would help the voters on who would be the one taking the reigns of the State/Country and vote accordingly.
This would help people to see that there are no swapping of politicians and independents for the sake of money which we pay as taxes to the government.
This would help people to see a smooth transperent start to the Govt.

Do give me your feedback.
