The pressing of a button on the voting machine on 30th April would create news. It would remain preserved for a fortnight or so. After that there would be a mega news explosion which is quite likely to leave the whole nation in a state of orgasm. One thing that has definitely emerged stronger out of this political festival is the social media like Whatsapp. This smartphone application along with facebook is greatly responsible for changing the tide of the politics in Punjab. In merely two months the political equation of Ludhiana has changed beyond imagination. It has particularly worked in favour of the Aam Admi Party. But some messages are downright vulgar. Some religious fundamenalists are also spoiling the show. The party leaders must instruct their workers to refrain from posting matter pertaining to religious fundamentalism, personal lives of leaders or vulgarity. Such hate messages and slander campaigns harm the same very leader who is being canvassed.
