Frustration
The time is ticking fast and the people
counting the number of days gone by after the election of second CA that took
taken place on 19 November 2013 have started expressing their frustration as
reported in “People say ongoing political bickering irks them no end” (THT, 8
Jan. 2014, Page 1). The people had enthusiastically participated in that
election with high hopes of seeing the major political parties would move ahead
with fresh mandate to fulfil the promises made in their election manifestos.
But, the parties are now found in engaging themselves in inter- and intra-party
blame games and wasting time.
The level of frustration of the common
people is so high that they seem loosing interest and faith on the political
parties seeing their undemocratic and insensible working styles. The question
of nominating 26 candidates to the CA is another serious issue that is yet to
be decided. Unless they are nominated, the legitimacy of CA may remain
questionable.
Looking closely at these situations, the days
after the CA election do not seem encouraging. The major political parties
should not forget that the people have given them a second chance to prove
themselves that they (political parties) fulfil their promises made in their
political manifestos.
