Will we get a proper government this time round?

Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan have had their say. In a couple of days it will be Delhi's turn as we vote to elect the next state government. In the other 3 states it was a straight fight between the Congress and the BJP but in Delhi the Aam Aadmi Party or AAP is the joker in the pack. People are sick of constantly rising prices of utilities, horrific crimes, especially against women, and a brutal police force more interested in protecting criminal politicians than serving the people. Crime is born from corruption. Delhi has the misfortune of being the only city in India with both a state government and the central government. The state government was involved in the Commonwealth Games scam which brought us shame across the world. Roads were repaired a couple of months ago in anticipation of the elections but potholes have returned. During this one month electricity demand is at its lowest because air conditioners and fans have been switched off and it is not cold enough for heaters. Still we suffer periodic blackouts. We only get to know of very few of the numerous scams. One was the theft of Rs 200 million from the money for building night shelters for the homeless. The Delhi Anti Corruption Branch tried to suppress the crime but it was exposed by the Vigilance Commission. From 2G to Coal mine allocation to Tetra trucks to Augusta-Westland helicopters the political gangs constituting the central government have been very busy collecting trillions of rupees. Some of that money will probably be invested in winning parliamentary elections in May next year so that they can continue to collect more moolah while thwarting investigations by the CBI. Already one party has been distributing bottles of alcohol in poorer parts of Delhi while another one has been distributing 10 kg sacks of flour for women and alcohol for men. Many hundreds of billions of rupees will be spent till May next year. Whether this will provide a stimulus to the economy or merely increase inflation only time will tell. There is a chance of a hung assembly in Delhi. The AAP is saying that it will refuse to form a coalition with either the Congress and the BJP as they are equally corrupt. That will mean President's rule with reelections in 6 months. The Congress will try everything to prevent elections in Delhi coinciding with the national ones because of the Modi factor. Will they support an AAP government just to keep the BJP out? We can only hope that these elections will be more than an entertaining circus.
