As soon as the Mahakumbh of elections started, the mood of the weather changed. In the first phase of Lok Sabha elections, when votes were being cast for 102 seats in 21 states and union territories, storm and hailstorm destroyed the fields of farmers in some states of North India including Punjab, apart from Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim. If there is hailstorm on ripe crops in the month of Visakha, farmers will have tears in their eyes. The unseasonal rains that occur every year have wreaked havoc and have also rendered the arena of 'Faslan Di Muk Gayi Rakhi, O Jatta Aayi Baisakhi' ineffective. A few days ago, people had seen many leaders on TV channels helping farmers in the scorching heat. Someone was pretending to harvest with a sickle, while someone was carrying sacks of wheat on his shoulders and carrying tea to the grain market. People will remember that in the last elections, the actor-turned-politician, Bollywood star, got down from the helicopter and went straight to the fields. The coverage of the harvest drama was very good. There was no news of workers going back and forth during harvesting. How do these people know that 'Jut (farmer's) June' is different. A farmer cannot keep his crop under lock and key like a businessman's capital. No one can say when his gold lying in the fields under a blue umbrella will be mixed with the soil. Agricultural work is called Seti. The crops sown in the month of Cuttack are harvested in Visakhapatnam. That means sowing in the English month of November and harvesting in April. If the hard earned money of five and a half months is snatched away, the farmer's heart breaks. Due to being free from wheat sowing in the month of Cuttack, many farmers take loans from moneylenders. In case of crop failure, the loan taken for marriage and other work becomes a curse. In the month of March, the farmer starts dreaming after seeing the color of wheat changing with the change in weather. He becomes ill after seeing wheat stalks swaying in the fields. In the month of Chet, cats are worth as much as gold. It hurts his heart to see the pheasant-winged changelings. There is a popular belief that even the wheat lying in Bharaula gets destroyed in the month of Chet. He requests, “Barse chet/neither house nor field.” The farmer does not even ask for gold coins in the month of Vishakha. If the wheat becomes dwarf or its color becomes dull then the colors of the dreams are lost. If the crop does not come home safe, the farmer gets trapped in the cycle of depression. This is a cycle that sometimes takes the form of a trap. The ruler orders Girdawari. They talk about giving compensation for each damaged grain. Everyone has seen in previous governments that checks of small amounts received in exchange for bad things only led to heartbreak. The compensation amount received by many farmers was so low that they had to pay more to open a bank account. Officers/employees fail to assess the actual damage while carrying out inspection. Instead of dashing the hopes of farmers, nothing looks good if there is hailstorm. The farmer, drenched in rain and storm, hopes that the promise of full compensation made to him during the election campaign should be fulfilled. However, elections in Punjab will be held on June 1. Anyway, Ghallughara week will start from this day. The results will be declared on June 4. Programs will be going on at many places to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of Shak Neela Tara, which was built during Indira Gandhi's government. The winners will take out a 'Vijay' procession. On one side there is mourning and on the other side there is celebration! The process of protest by farmers is also continuing.
Suicides are becoming a big issue and a headache for political parties. He has not shown much enthusiasm towards election rallies. Dissatisfied farmers are surrounding the candidates in many Lok Sabha constituencies. The condition of the candidates who did not even visit the area for five years after winning is bad. The beauty of democracy is that the public puts the leaders in the dock. After all, they are voters. It is the voters who have crowned him. Why don't those who take you from earth to sky ask for an account? The voter straightens up. Asks direct questions. He says, brother, wooden pot does not boil again and again. Accounts of the property acquired at the time of contesting the elections and the black money earned after winning have also been sought. Despite this, many tactics are used to mislead innocent voters. Sometimes caste and sometimes religion card is played. While democracy is defined as 'of the people, by the people and for the people', most voters do not realize the power of the vote. Votes bought with black money lead to the death of democracy. The river of wine flows. There is dominance of lumberjacks and musclemen. Where all this fails, force is used. Although the Election Commission promises free, fair and peaceful voting, violent incidents still make media headlines. The souls of the lovers of freedom cry. Defection is a big issue in itself. It seems that fielding borrowed candidates in the election campaign has become a compulsion for almost every political party. 'Aaya Ram,' Gaya Ram' are found in every party. Paltu Ram does not remember his old speeches at all. Even before chameleons, the screams of those who change colors are sometimes a source of entertainment. The media of the 21st century has preserved the old sayings. Even though the old and new spit-licking speeches of the turncoats go together, they do not get along with each other. He has no problem in praising the political party which he had abused. Extremely loyal people abandon each other like shadows lost in the dark.
Election rigging is another sensitive issue. Low-level rhetoric or smear campaigns destroy the spirit of democracy. The words that come out of the mouth are like arrows shot from the bow. Talks regarding caste or any sect sometimes take a dangerous form. It is beneficial for democracy to talk about concrete issues instead of abusive words. The incident of lashing out at opponents like in serials cannot be called right. The primary duty of public representatives is to solve the problems of the general public. He should become the voice of the people in the Assembly/Lok Sabha. The public should also rise above caste and sect and elect representatives. Only the public representative can change the destiny and picture of the country.
