The educated mass and or the salaried/entrepreneural mass always gauge the success of a party by analysing the industrial/employment growth and the per capita income/GDP etc. In a democratic country like India, a politician who concentrate on industrial/financial growth of his state/country hardly get elected to the second term - the main reason being the choice of voters.
80% of the office goers and educated lot, who gain benefits out of industrialisation etc. do not vote.. and the votes are generated from uneducated, illeterate, economically backward, SC/ST/OBC and farmers.. A political party in power (the CM particularly) should not only concentrate on developing the infrastructure and industries, malls, shops and attract foreign investments, but also take up strongly the commitments given to the voters, particularly to the economically backward mass, agriculture, farmers, education, water facility, schools, hospitals, roads, communication to nook and corner, food grain supply, control the inflation etc.
The poor voters (being the category listed above), time and again fall pray to the election propoganda and assurances of the politicians and vote them to power... if one political party does not do good for them, then in the next election, they vote for the other...and if a third one emanates out of the blue and form another party, then votes also swing to that direction. this is what Indian politics...take votes from the poor (retain them poor always) and create weal
