As the Sun Rises




As the sun rises on 27th April , the epic battle of Lok Sabha elections will resume


In today's battle , what arrows will the mighty warriors shoot at each other ?


Here is my guess :


>  Narendra Modi will hurl the weapons of ,

    #   Corruption of UPA - 2
    #   Dubious land deals of Jijaji
    #   Declining  GDP .... etc


>   The  FAMILY  will retaliate with ,

     #   Snoop-gate
     #   Godhra riots
     #   Communal policies of BJP...  etc


>   Baba Ramdev

     #   Black Money


>   Sundry Netas

      #   Choicest Abuses ( Blunderer / Plunderer / Murderer ..etc )


By the time the Warriors retire to respective camps by sunset , in the PRECEEDING 24 HOURS , 4383 children ( below 5 years ) would have died due to starvation ( 1,600,000 per year )


But how can "  Reducible Deaths " be made , an Election Issue  ?


So , why talk about deaths due to malnutrition or for the following causes ?


>   Malaria.............................. 10,98,000

>   Cancer...............................   7,32,000

>   HIV..................................     6,83,200

>   Suicide .............................    4,88,000

>   Road Accidents  .................    3,66,000

>   Snake bites  ........................  7,32,000



Or  about millions of Indians dying  PREMATURE DEATH every year , due to :


>  Water and Air Pollution

>  Dowry ( Bride burning )

>  Child Labour

>  Occupational Hazards ( Chemical / Coal / Cement industries )

>  Miscarriage / Abortions / Pregnancy deaths

>  Smoking / Tobacco chewing

>  Junk Food / Adulterated Food

>  Daru ( liquor ) laced with ethyl alcohol

>  Fake Medicines............................etc


And how can you hold MPs / MLAs , responsible for keeping 28.7 Crores of Indians illiterate ( 37 % of World's illiterate ), 66 years after independence  ?


PEOPLE  OF  INDIA ,


What will kill you / me , is of no consequence to our politicians  !


They seem to be saying ,



"   What can we do  ?

   On the EVM of Yamaraaj , there is no NOTA button  !  "
