Third Front


Many of us must have celebrated mismatch day in our colleges. If you haven't then to let you know the idea was simple and fun, all you got to do is wear something that doesn't match at all. It was fun, made you look totally out of place from the usual crowd. At least for non participating crowd we looked funny and among us we would be wondering who is looking more funnier or more mismatched just to have a big laugh and some fun in our day. 

The idea of THIRD FroNt sounds similar given that none of them share the same policies or ideologies, and it also appears funny from outside that how TDP's privatization and CPI-CPI(M) communist Marxist economy policies can come together to forge alliance. Similarly, there is DMK, JD(U) and even NCP now, which wants it to be included in UPA as an important alliance which cannot be ignored.  Though the Third Front is yet to come up with its common policies but on the outside its hilarious to imagine. Imagine for every economic policy the Left and the TDP fighting over and probably they will compromise on a middle path or all together frame different policies for different sates. Say privatization will be done in AP and government undertakings in West Bengal, and different agriculture policies for Karnataka and other states. Then there will be Third Front alliances meeting to discuss PM and we might see 5 different PM's in 5 years, Cause everyone needs to project itself as an important player in Indian politics, regular reshuffling of cabinet ministers and every year a different policies and all leading India towards growth. We will wonder at the end of the tenure that which one let us down which one lead as with growth  or did we ever moved anywhere an inch or was these five years was just to project every political party in the Third Front as capable. At the end we might be wondering was it just the show of strength and stability or they did some work. 

All this and much more funnier and hilarious things of my wild imagination can come true if the Third FroNt actually comes to power after the election. Hope that people don't choose this option just for some fun for next five years after recent despair due to economic recession. After all this can be termed as some extraordinary effort in extraordinary times. LOL
