U.P STATE ELECTIONS - AN UN WANTED HYPE?

With the Uttar Pradesh State Elections drawing near, the activities of both Samajwadi Party & the BSP have managed to reach a crescendo, with the incumbent government roping in super star Amitabh Bachchan to promote their election campaign, giving rising a lot or eyebrows and the speculation that Big B was entering back into politics. God knows the amount the Mulayam Singh government must have spent on him, did anyone actually tried finding out? while responding to Rajdeep Sardesai's question on IBN, Amar Singh vehemently responded "I don't need to tell you the amount we have spent on Mr. Bachchan's ad." The TV channels, have been debating in and out for the past one month, bringing across issues and making skeletons tumble out of the closet in a heap, has got the Samajwadi Party running for cover and becoming quite re-active. But honestly, sometimes its worth stopping a minute and pondering - Does our largest state, which has got one of the worst law and order situations ? The most number of unemployed youth in the state, and the functioning of the state which needs looking into to stop its corruption level (Highest Corruption level in the state), isn't it ironical that the ruling party spend money on ads, and propagating their own party. Even the media sometimes seems to be focusing on the wrong issues. And can some one please tell, how is it that Mayawati, who faces corruption charges of Rs.1000 crore is being allowed to contest elections? But then we all know the answer isn't it. Wonder when we INDIANS will awake from our slumber?
