Yesterday, all the drum beating of the political candidates came to a halt as the Election Day is now less then 24 hours away in Madhya Pradesh in one phase straight.
No exit poll surveys this time.
No tall claims by any political party for favorable good winds this time.
No one is clearly stating victory or defeat.
The reason is simple.
Voters, who matter the most in a constitutional process, are silent. They are not uttering a word. This silence is deafening.
Voices of the voters or the people who choose the government were very vocal in the last elections. It was a storm which blew away the Dig Vijay Singh led Congress government. But this time the subtlety of people is a matter of jokes among a few guys I met with.
One friend told me that it is a matter of national laughter that how the most corrupt state government ever led by Dig Vijay, when came into opposition, is calling the BJP a bluff and starting a debate on the issues of corruption only since last year.
No one in the state has forgotten the horrid times he gave to the common man. Be one from the MSEB, MSRTC, Semi-Government Organizations and even students.
Congress has such weak memory. OR better, Rahul has no idea what he is promoting here! This makes me wonder that if I ever get to meet him, what he will say after hearing my remarks. He is dude without a doubt.
Now, let’s talk about the people who are not saying anything.
The reasons are many and the biggest as follows:
1. The Global Recession period has hit hard to everyone. People all around want stability. Trying to figure out what exactly is happening around.
2. The fear of change has seeped in each individual. As the pink slip mayhem continues, people in government jobs fear forced VRS and alteration in temporary jobs offered by the government in the rural areas.
3. People are now thinking over the main issue raised by the Congress - Corruption. Everyone is unable to figure out how it hit them. It is unlike the last time when it was the motto of the government to suck every drop of blood of the people.
4. Fear! What if they said something for one party and the other came to power as no one is certain.
BUT the common man will speak.
He will speak loud enough to be echoed till Delhi.
The day is tomorrow.
Go Vote.
It's Karma.
It's Destiny.
