Overactive Politicians For some weeks all the political parties of India have become overactive as we have seen that in many states violence had erupted and some communities were targeted. Leaders across all the Political parties were seen ‘bridging gaps’ between communities and shedding tears (even on the dead bodies of  militants). Riots have erupted in some parts of the country and leaders were doing ‘everything’ to help the poor ‘victims’. In Maharashtra MNS started to protect the interests of the local people. In Bihar many leaders even some ministers in the UPA government have started distribution of ‘Diwali gifts’ to the poor people who have been living in relief camps more weeks after the floods in the Kosi river. This Activeness of the leaders is the indication of the approaching elections.

Elections When Manmohan government had won the ‘trust motion’( though people’s trust in democracy has been deeply shaken) with a narrow margin it was being said that UPA government’s days are numbered and it was being expected that Lok Sabha elections can be held in the last month of the current year or the early months on the next year instead of in May or June, next year. But the election results of the six states that are going to be held in November and December will decide the exact time of the Lok Sabha elections. If UPA alliance improves in these assembly elections then Lok Sabha elections can be held in the first or second month of the next year.

J&K Out of these six states (where elections dates have been announced) three are being ruled by NDA alliance two were under UPS alliance. UPS and NDA will be neck to neck in five states (except J&K). But most interesting election will be of the state of J&K. In J&K elections will be held in seven phases. It must be learnt that in recent months people of Kashmir have risen against India and this uprising against India is being said as the biggest in the history of Kashmir. Some pro-Pakistani and separatist parties have given a call for election boycott. So political parties of Jammu and Kashmir will have to face the stiff competition from the pro-Pakistani parties instead of their traditional political rivals.
