We educated young lot never take the pains to find THE righteous candidate. Result -> manifestos(what you say pre-election) don't matter and thus elected candidates can get away with anything. Not voting is not the right attitude. The right candidates are also looking for your vote. @Amit: Have you ever read a candidate’s manifesto?

In this scenario, we voters dont even know what way our vote is going to be counted. It's as if the entire election is a farce. @Amit – I suppose that’s what most voters are thinking, going by the voter turnout so far.

I don't think many of the politicians know which side they will eventually be on. The actual decision making will begin once the results begin to be announced.

Not anymore. Just came across this report about the BJP's feelings towards the BSP, and have updated the post. This one is definitely worth watching out! @Mahendra – You asked about BJP missing from this list. Not anymore.

I too wish that the politicians are held accountable for what they say, instead of simply saying something and then reneging on their statements saying that they were <i>quoted out of context</i>. Nice list of the qualifications for their speech writers. I don't think i could ever fit that criteria ;) @Roshni - haha...yes at least she is being candid! @Kavi - This cynicism is unavoidable, and there is only one way to get rid of it. Some more accountability from our democratic system. @Mesingh - Thanks for the appreciation! @AmListening – Thanks.
