As the general elections of the country are approaching, we see a number of politicians switching their loyalties besides the smaller party heads making alliances with possible potential winners to remain in power corridors. The unfortunate part is that we have same political families coming into power turn by turn. They know the art of looting and plundering the national wealth and fully exploit the short memory of the masses. There is a famous Persian proverb “aazmooda ra aazmooden jehl ast”. The nation has tried PPP and PML-N twice or thrice and also seen that each excelled the other in corruption and looting the country’s wealth during their turns of tenure.
Now both parties claim to be angels with promises to bring prosperity to the common man. We are sick of listening to such promises of these tried out parties who after coming into power do nothing for the poor masses. They award contracts of country’s development projects to their blue eyed persons with huge kickbacks. In semi-autonomous organisations, the key posts are given to non-qualified people with under hand deals. There are no merit based appointments. Only rishwat and sifarish prevail.
In the light of the above, the public is desperate to see the change in the leadership and the faces. I strongly feel that the old faces and tried out parties would not get any place in the next government.
