Questioning the Questions

Some days ago, I saw on TV, a bunch of furious people (as usual, alleged to be from different parties). They were shouting at politicians, or say party representatives, over various unfortunate conditions they were facing, on the overly, cowardly failed five year old promises. People were asking what can you “give us” if we vote you to power. (I know it’s a worth laughing question)

Have we become such fools to believe in the answers given just before elections?? We shouldn’t.

Is there going to be any “NO” in answer about fulfilling public demand? NO.

It’s just the Wrong time to ask such questions.

Why we cannot have them in front of people during their tenure (for Damn Five Years!) asking about the progress of their cheerful promises?

Recently, Lok Sabha sittings have come down to a record number. Why? (552 member council, for sleeping??!). May be they don’t have any think to display to Lok in that Sabha. Or, may be, simply not interested.

Don’t we need a platform, where we could replay the promises made by candidates and cross question them about the progress? Why the work is halted, how they plan to resume it and also applaud the sincere persons who have managed to keep their election campaign words.

AT LEAST IT'S A MUCH BETTER OPTION THAN COLLECTING HURLED SHOES...!! ;-)

I know, they are answerable only to higher authorities once they are ministers’ and all. But they are ministers because of people, on the people’s money, and of course for the people.It would be a strong recommendation to have such a question answer platform during five year tenure which is only for juntas.

Not those TV debates please. Anchors, producers all seem to be politically motivated now and cannot give an unbiased view.

(Have you seen Obama initiative where he interacted with common people via internet in a hall jam-packed with few more common people. He answered questions regarding from recession to studies, jobs to house and lots more.)

They say don’t follow west, but it’s not bad always.
