Elections 2024: Illusion & Reality

About prediction of results we see, for the first time, two apparently ‘rational’ poll analysts giving diametrically opposite figures. So statistics, and their analyses, are also lying! The desperation, in all spheres, seems apparent.

The reality, however, will be clear in less than a week when the Election Commission announces the results. Of course, results will matter: who will rule the country? But the issues thrown up among the hyperboles and the promises of all political parties will indicate how the country will be run in future. According to an extreme view, there will be no more elections in the country. The opposition cries wolf: if the ruling party comes back, the constitution will be changed and India will see dictatorship. One of the constituencies within the opposition however has already shown how dictatorship looks like, though for a short time.
