The analysis is very realistic. The
voting pattern has nothing to do with what happen in Delhi and
parliament. It all depends how voters are wooed by local politicians and
the Government in power. They have their own gimmicks to play around
confusing the voters than convincing the voters. The success of 66 years
of Governance is that our masses are not able to think rationally and
intelligently as many of them are kept in perpetual illiteracy and
poverty. Their worry is from where and how to get the next meal. This
our politicians have realised very well and one or two days before the
election they take care of them by some small incentives. This is the
ground reality. Of course, there are exceptions to the rule as rightly
pointed out by the author attracting the attention of the masses to
national calamities which can influence the voting pattern a little for
considerations other than economic development and welfare. The food
security bill and land acquisition bill cannot have much of an impact as
such on the 2014 election.
