Before Dream 2.0 is served up, voters like an honest account of what has materialised out of Dream 1.0. There ought to have been a division of labour between party and government. One in unceasing election mode, committed to spreading its geographical footprint, conquering non traditional territories in the South and East the other working diligently on governance and economic development. With participation in almost a score of state governments, there was a wide canvas to paint upon, natural synergies between federal and local administrations. If the government itself is always in campaign mode, things don’t work. Ministers camping for months in states that are going to the polls. No one more transactional – it would be harsh to say selfish, for the poor need their government to deliver when the market does not work for them – than the Indian voter. Aap ne hamare liye kiya kya hai is a perfectly legitimate question.
