Predicament of honest voters


The drama of defections has been condemned by one and all. 

Scores of voters have poured out their anger at being deceived with sacred oaths and sworn affidavits.

In all this tamasha, it is the voter who is left bewildered. He is wondering what happened to his constitutional duty, ethics and morality. All that he can do is lick his wounds. 

The voters are left to mourn and lament and taken for granted. Their feelings have no bearing on defectors. It is an irony that defectors are reelected by very same voters. The reality is that they have to seek their influence in routine matters.

Best to decide whether the democracy of the day is worth the waste of your efforts and time. Anyway it will make no difference or tilt the verdict.
