Its always been the dilemma for me whenever I started to write something. To be more precise I have always been extra conscious about writing the politics in my blogs. As the people we are we are very political, its the beauty of India where we always have something to say and politics is that forum. Even though we all don't actively take part in it but surely have the opinions.
The recent election in Maharashtra is been the biggest gabled played by every political parties. This was the first time where there were more than 5 political parties who were trying there luck. It was really fascinating to see the debates and ever changing scenarios in all the political parties. It was very touch and go election where no one opened there cards every one was waiting for the last minute.
At the last moment the two main groups Cong-NCP and SS-BJP got split. They had there own explanation but the confusion go over and every one had whole of Maharashtra state to win. There were on seat sharing, no exchange of the seats. The logic was simple "Just get 144".
I am not going to go into all the politics that happened afterwards. Specially the add campaign by the BJP which I really thought was in very bad taste. "Where have you taken my Maharashtra" campaign got to far and was ridiculed on the social media. Everyone in Maharashtra knew where it is but Probably BJP got so blurred by the Gujarat model that they forgot where it is. I thought promotion Gujarat model was great in other states but Maharashtra has its own model and way ahead of other states. Gujarat has lot of catching up to do. There was lot of negativity there and probably it must have costed some seat or clear majority to BJP.
Finally SS mends its ways and came in the folds of BJP Government and what looked like a sensible move. As there supporters patience running thin, it was matter of time when time ran out for the call for sitting outside which by the way they did tried.
Now whats in store is the major question. After 15 years of Cong-NCP rule we have new government at the state same as the center. Everyone is hoping for better co-ordination between them and Fadanvis looks a practical person so its time we give this new government the much deserve time before starting criticizing them.
As far as I see, I don't think this government will last its full tenure as there is clear split between the two coalition parties at the vidhan bhavan in Mumbai. They are on collision course which is good news for the opposition, they know what it is. To be partners in the government and work against each others on the grounds. There is a clear cut Modi Wave which will benefit BJP in short term but in long run if they don't do what they have promised. This surge of BJP in India will be short lived.
We hope this goverment will serve in the best interest of the people in Maharashtra but with all these combination of the numbers and views controrary to each other it looks like a big locha...or rather..mahalocha...:)
