ELECTION GIMMIKS

Riding the crest of popular wave

he was voted to power

with a thumping   majority.

From the very day

the party elected him

as Prime Ministerial candidate

he plunged into the fray

six months before the

elections were scheduled.

He went on a whirlwind

tour of election campaign

across the country

and conquered the minds

of majority of electorate

with his oratorial skill.

The D-day approached

within six months

during which time he had

delivered rousing speeches and

upsetting everyone’s expectations

his party  emerged victorious hands down.

While he was on a

whirlwind tour around the nation

highlighting the plight

of poor people

and vowing to lift them 

above poverty line

he could capture the hearts

of suffering millions.

Upon assuming the charge of Prime Minister

within two –three months

contrary to the expectations

of the poor

he and his party sided

with the industrialists

and businessmen  

caring two hoots for

the dark plight of poor people.

The gap between the rich

and poor got wider and wider

and the sinister game continues

leaving the poor

and middle-class in the lurch.

All parties while taking

the plunge into the

election arena

always swear by the welfare of them

by ameliorating

the pathetic conditions of the suffering millions.

He and his party are no different.
