Indian Elections 2014 Result

This is India, the country where people love to know the result before examination. This is India where people say which country will win before an upcoming cricket match.
So, let I start with coming on my original topic "Which party will win the 2014 Elections" .
According to me, it is really not an easy answer to be spoken. Anyway here are the justification why i am saying no single party will win :-
1. Anna Hazare's movement against government (mainly congress) got a large crowd. Hence, we can also calculate the people support for Arvind Kejriwal 's party Aam Aadmi Party who was also one of the member of Anna 's movement.

Anna's Movement : Time For Political Parties To Introspect

Anna wave , anna lila, anna's movement.. Anna Hazare has taken nation by storm and media is playing important role in taking the movement in drawing rooms of every citizen who has television.

I have been hearing this name at most places I visit. Be it be chai ki ketli or be is be corporate conference room. My chai waala becomes very excited when ever I visit his ketli. His question is always the same 'anna ka aage kya hua?'.

Anna hazare or Kishan Baburao Hazare as Manish tewari puts it , has become symbol of opposition to system of corruption. Anna has never participated in elections and doesn't seem to intend to. Anna hazare is not threat to political parties as far as their seats is concerned.

But anna movement does give wake up call to all politicians of India. Be it be MLAs or MP's or even gram panchayat officials.

We have seen protest in every city of India. Be it be Bihar or Gujarat or mp or Delhi or Tamil Nadu or up. In Bihar ,Gujarat,mp NDA rules while in up we have BSP , in Tamil Nadu we have AJADMK and in Delhi we have congress. The movement is not against one party but it is against corruption.
Ironically even after government giving so much opportunities to opposition , they have not been able to grab it. UPA-2 is arguably most corrupted government ever in independent India and they could not have helped opposition in better way than churning out one scam after another and irrespective of that neither BJP ,nor left ,nor any regional parties have been able to make use of this opportunity.

Question is why?. There seems to be disconnect among MP's, MLA's and people. There seems to be lack of trust on our politicians.

Opposition needs to think about this and introspect where as government should leave its arrogance of winning two general elections back to back. Anna movement is wake up call and what these distinguish 800 people who sit in lok sabha and rajyasabha as well as all mlas in India must realize that they represent people and it is not otherwise. They must work towards more able governance or risk becoming irrelevant.

I am prime supporter of parliamentary democracy and believe in strengthening the system but politicians must understand mood of people , their concerns , their anger , their outrage and work to address that.

Moral of story is that politics is accused to be dirty business and if politicians want to alter that they need to work for people and not use people for their (politicians) personal end.
