The political parties are a despicable lot. Let's be objective and not let our political biases cloud our judgement. The parties and netas have a proven track record of neglecting/abandoning the people, more so the rural folks. The fact that they are willing to ally with the Maoists murderers (Girija was hobnobbing with Maoists leaders during his visit to India) rather than with the people speaks volumes about thier fabled treachery and thier lust for power. We have lost the count of the number of times the politicians have stabbed our backs. But who is at the helm is secondary (non-issue) to a common man. When are we actually going to worry about the real issues of the people? When are we actually going to bring real changes in people's lives?
