Poll, A Punishing Pole

And after the landslide, there’s a slide, A bride won, but honeymoon denied, Wonted magic on wane, Patience as ends in pain, Promises made, performance belied. ____________________________________________________ This is what the third consecutive by-election seems to say on the ruling party’s performance. A lot of promises were made during the recent parliamentary elections. The people tired of erstwhile regime’s pathetic performance gave the alternative a thumbs–up with a landslide victory. But after more than 100 days the regime has little to show on the promises made, and people’s patience is wearing thin. No wonder, the poll has turned a punishing pole. _____________________________________________________________. -Happenings | 12.09.14 |
