Lessons from UP-Bihar
Note: Controversial, Political, Opinioned …
Last decade saw 2 major political scenarios … especially in states (UP and Bihar) which were known for their political instability… or better known as ‘mili-juli sarkar’ … (aka let’s feast together) …
A few years ago, BSP won the state elections with clear majority of more than 50% and now Bihar has seen much more distinct results with close to 80% majority … this clearly shows the power of voting and people at large. Especially, when the EC had enforced full control over the polling and security… these results are of very high importance and significance.
What happens next! … is the best question … the majority party is now the unopposed ‘boss’ of the region … they can and will do all that is needed to fill their pockets and shut up the raising voices … they dictate over the administrative setup and have “monopoly” over all the projects … UP has already seen many of these examples – like statues, re-doing of parks, … capital city wasting entire state electricity while the rest of the state is plunge into darkness …
I am not sure why, but I have a feeling that things would repeat in Bihar too … may be much more under the carpet and having much heavier impact (financially!) …
Hope for the best!
