Whom to vote, whom to rely?

Hardly five days left for polling in Seemandhra. However, the two main contenders TDP and YCP are confusing the people with their quite opposite arguments. Both parties argue that they alone are honest and the other is a traitor. They claim that they alone can give a good governance and capable to build a new capital with international standards. All other parties like JSP, Loksatta, Aam Admi including Congress believed to be have no role to play in this elections battle. So, the fight between two big players intensifies as the D-Day is closing in.

However, people of Seemandhra are still searching for answers to two questions. Whom to be punished for bifurcation and who is to be rewarded for fighting against the bifurcation. It is evident all the contenders in this election battle have contributed their own part in the bifurcation, but none including Congress is agreeing it. Even Kiran Kumar Reddy who plans to tap the votes with his Jai Samaikyandhra party is also an offender in this whole affair, but claims he is the real Samaikyandhra champion. Whichever party fights to keep the state united, did so only to win the hearts of people and certainly not to stop the division of the state. So, it is understood that none of the parties are honest in this regard. So, all parties may not get a single vote, if people prefer to cast their votes based on this issue.

So, the next question is which party is honest and which is capable to build the new capital. It is evident that Congress and TDP have that experience and ability but Congress lacks honesty. YCP has neither has any administrative experience nor has any idea about building a whole new city. Its President Jagan Mohan Reddy’s CBI track record and probability of resuming his cases and returning to jail is a big disadvantage to his party. TDP having alliance with a winning party BJP and its prime minister candidate Narendra Modi’s assurance to extend full support to the state gives edge over the other two in this regard. So, if people prefer to cast their votes on this base, definitely TDP will get advantage of it.
