The Drama is Over

14th May, 2009
The drama that the Voter is supreme is over. After the five-phase poll, the poll managers are not worried about the voting machines. They are already on their missions to subvert what has been delivered by the voters. Late night meetings have started. Some calculations and exit polls are available. In the next few days, starting the counting day 16th May, there will be hyper activity to beat the other party in gathering the required strength for Government formation. The voter appeared irrelevant in this election right from the beginning, this when one of the biggest excercises to make the voters go to the poll booths was launched. The Congress, the BJP and the Third Front are all in the game. The voters can only watch this new drama helplessly and wonder whether they did anything wrong in casting their votes.
