2013 and 14 will see 11 state elections and one Lok Sabha elections. So it is very natural that political debate will get heated. In such a situation more and more debates are on individuals and issues which are not very important for the democracy. Which leader has got a better oratory skills is less important than the vision that the leader has. Also the political parties have to be more tolerant about the views that people have.
Currently a lot of debate is happening over whether pre poll surveys should be held or not. My personal view is that ban is never a solution. What the political parties should actually demand is that the surveys should be more authentic and reliable. Most of these surveys have very small sample size which makes the results unreliable. They should be more scientific.
The present government has to take responsibility and answer these questions. Though we have one of the weakest politician as our Chief Minister who is an escapist to the core but with his oratory skills he has become the face of BJP. All the political parties have to rethink their strategy. The narrative has changed. Asking people to vote for development sounds good but the delivery mechanism has to function. Sadly the states like MP, Chhatisgarh still lack far behind in the growth story in spite of all the tall claims of the incumbent government.
The common man has to rethink and go all out and show their might on 25th November in Madhya Pradesh.

Another issue that is important is basic services like road, electricity, water which still remain election issues even after 6 decades of independence. Today the issues should be better health services, more industries, more exports, quality education, better facilities for sportsmen, better environment for setting industries, but we are still stuck with sadak, bijli, pani. In my state of Madhya Pradesh in 2003, the BJP came to power with the promise that people will get better services on all these three counts.But sadly that is not the case as there are no roads to say in many cities, electricity transmission is poor and water availability is there but the quality is poor. If for the sake of argument we believe that the intentions of the present government was good and it wanted to work for the betterment of the people then what went wrong? Why cities like Itarsi, Vidisha, Sehore, Harda, Ujjain, Betul, Sagar (to name a few) have non existing roads, there is just gravel all around. Why are we paying more for electricity compared to other states? Why are we having so many unannounced power cuts? Why water borne diseases so common in our state?
