This election has showed us how thoroughly the politicians have used the electoral process and the pro democracy talk to their effect and have looted at will and in broad daylight.
Now the elections are faught on a single candidate - CM or not. Modi may be the chief minister of gujarat, but is he bigger tha the state he is suppossed to serve?
It is high time we thought of another way of electing people to lead us because the present system is not working.
Why not have the parties submit a road map for the way ahead before the election to the election commission. This road map should include all the policies that they would want to frame and how they would go about thier daily business of governance. Then say after the 5 year term, teh country can judge what promises have been fulfilled and what not.
Right now all we get after spending crores and crores of rupees is just a bunch of parties who cannot see face to face but nevertheless come together to be in power.
