A VIP till poll date

The assembly elections of five states are being held in November- December 2003. The parties are busy selecting their candidates. They have also kicked off their election campaigns by coining bewitching slogans and churning out enchanting publicity material, laced with lofty objects and promises.

In India, in the last 50 years, the elections have given birth to some humorous terms, words, definitions, quotes and anecdotes. I wish to share some of these with the voters during the coming elections:

* Voter: A VIP till the poll date.

* Independent candidate: A most-sought-after VVIP, if elected.

* Election propaganda: 75 percent lies and 25 percen cries.

* Election campaign agency: We do not just campaign, but also make sure that the campaign sells you.

* Election time: Best time for sycophants, manip lators, poll-forecasters, Zee-hazoors, history-sheeters — the list is endless.

* General public/voters: People who vote politicians to power, then beg them to keep their promises and assurances.

* Election speech: The art of saying things in such a way that no body knows exactly what you mean.

* Election slogans: Based on hit films/pop songs/tunes such as – ‘Hamara candidate - Balle balle, baki sare thalle thalle.’

* Election promise (s): eight-year-old son to father: Daddy, why don’t you vote for the Reserve Bank of India? Unlike politicians, it at least gives to the bearer what it promises!

* Election period: When politicians run and the taxpayers sweat!

* Election funds: Top secret — not to be disclosed!!
