Elections Bring Respite

Thank god election commission has announced the date for election to Maharashtra state assembly. For the last many days, in fact about two months, every minister and politician made it sure that his photo and statement appear in the media each alternate day.

Even yesterday, when the news of the election commission's announcement came by, many programs were scheduled in the city. Chief Minister Ashok Chavan had to cancel an inauguration program in the state reserve police force while guardian minister Ajit Pawar had to cancel his press conference in view of the code of conduct.

District collector Chandrakan Dalvi has announced that all the official vehicles given to the functionaries of locla bodies, including Pune Municipal Corporation and Zill Parishad are to be taken back.
The code of conduct prohibits the administration to publish any advertise announcing achievement of the ruling party with government expense. It also prohibits new appointments in the government bodies. This will also affect the ad spending of government. But after all, this has brought a respite for many like me who were bored with the propaganda going on till now.
