LOK SABHA elections

Its about four five months from now that worlds one of the largest democracy would go voting but the verdict is again going to be biased, there has been a trend to promote the pratices of regionalism and communalism and we feel proud behaving so un-rationally and by not electing the right person, most of the people today suffer from psuedo-concern disorder-yes, that is they dont care really to exercise their right to vote and even if they do so, they end up favoring someone who is from their caste or religion- its sad but true, party like BJP with true nationalist ideology has suffered a set back just because they don't know how to ensure their minority vote bank by making fool out of that marginally influential part of population. Its a tragic irony that when we call BJP a hinduvadi party we tend to ignore that the hindu party with so called 80% of population behind it fails to make it to power, and they are termed as bad people who promote violence and what not all; but their counter part is so pure that they don't even need to talk about hinduism still they get to power, the problem is with the system that Indian republic follows somewhere BJP is better and in some aspects Congress scores higher and for that matter any political party, what i feel is that there should be a fair fight between their ideologies but then turn up these little regional parties making the in roads into the totals of bigger parties creating a mess in the national level elections in the name of caste and region, this multi party system at national level spoils the essence of elections and the elections merely turn out to be a formality of redistributing the seats among parties for a later on mutual decision. If we really want some solid leadership then we need to follow a two party system (or only national parties should be allowed to contest LS elections) at the national level where the two(or only all the national) parties should contest the elections and the winner should be asked to form the govt. so that it may function properly for next 5 years and can take decisions that serve NATION and not any individual or religion or caste; while regional parties should be constrained to assembly elections so that they may effectively see towards the local problem and let the bigger players worry about global issues.There might be many alternative to the current scenario but seriously we do need to revise this whole federal democratic system of Indian republic.
