India is the biggest democratic state
The voters always decide her fate
The fate of a political party depends on its popularity
The powerful and tactful party gets the majority
One party discusses the construction of Rama’s temple
Its political, hidden agenda is very simple
The other parties talk about secularity
It always tries to woo the considerable minority
The other leftist parties often talks about the poor
They never get their votes for sure
Before the election liquor flows like a river
Voters get money notes in a beautiful cover
The luckiest party grabs the power
The elected members try to climb the tower
Corruption seems to be the order of the day
No part is likely to show the right way
In democracy, parties are meant
To be different. But that is not quite apparant

Your poetry comments well on the true face of the political system of our country with a pleasant hint of humor ,i especially liked the lines
" Before the election liquor flows like a river

Dear Battle christ.Corruption in democracy inevitable but there is no alternative for that.I think the situation is the same in your state too.Thanks for your comments and rating.
yours lovingly,

Well yes the condition is same throughout the country , Bengal has been suffering much owing to it !! however we could still hope to see a change if Mamata Banerjee wins the next state elections!! But as they say "Power Corrupts" I fear how helpful would any change be to us!

Delightful! This is a rather amusing tribute to an only too familiar political party. You expressed it frankly with a welcome touch of humor...I enjoyed, though in reality it is not amusing.
Dear Cheeky, What do you think about democracy in your country?Is it the same? I think Americans are totally different.More advanced and less corruptivem a bit more flexible.
yours lovingly,
JVL
Dear JVL,
Well, here is where I may expose my ignorance....but as far as I can tell, democracy in my country is not really so very different....perhaps we are more civilized, yes, but the corruption is the same; also, we are supposed to be a democracy "IN a republic" which representative form of government should put a different spin on plain democracy. But the corruption, vile dealings and nefarious deeds seem to me perhaps more advanced here...but again, I show my ignorance thereby, for I cannot presently say so for certainty.
