A supposed celebration of democracy is getting into a terrible fiasco, for which, every political party is passing the bucks to other while themselves showing their brawn.  If reports of media are to be believed, people are living in trepidation, which undesirable in a democracy. People are more concerned about their life & sustenance amidst this political brawl. The ruler is trumpeting their success in making lives of ordinary people better, while the oppositions are trying trade dreams of better future. In a democracy, witty argument and counter argument is healthy and people should be final judge of their argument. Political parties are showing least tolerance and faith on people’s wisdom, instead they are doing exactly opposite, probably giving new definition of democracy “Might is Right”.
