The entire country is in a frenzy,the polling is in full flow. The people of India are excited and need the change.Speculations are rife, bets, debates, accusations and counter accusations are flying faster than superman and his cape.People get a paid leave so that they can cast that valuable vote in the ballot box.However ,many still don't vote and go on a holiday , or don't get themselves registered and take the whole exercise, as a joke.
Little do they realise that thousands of man hours are spent by the election commission , their teams of teachers, govt. servants, police officials, reserve protection force,who work day and night to ensure peaceful polling. To top it all, the media hounding them, the arrogant egoistic politicians and their cronies throwing their weight around they need to carry out their orders strictly and comply with the rules set for themselves.Inspite of all this , they put up a brave face, work those long hours , face the wrath and do a thankless job for the nation.After the long stretch of work, they are carted like cattle ,in the back of a dump truck or any available rickety transport .They presumably get food and water to drink .They face the sweltering heat and in some places even Naxalite threats .
Once the results are announced ,some are merry making and others have their heads tucked in sand , but no one remembers these officials. The families of these people also deserve a respectful life. They too need motivation , acknowledgement ..... But who cares. 1.2 billion strong nation wants a change at the centre but don't work to change these simple basic needs of the deserving few.Hats of to the CEC for a splendid job,and making a huge effort to conduct the elections of the largest democracy on earth successfully.
