Elections

With nearly four thousand students thronging the campus on 1^st of august, campus has come lively after a lull of nearly 3 months. With the ragging rules getting more stringent and newspapers flooded with the news of seniors being fined or expelled, first yearites getting luckier this time but not anymore. With the campaigning kicking off from 14 th ,till end of august , campus is gonna be abuzz with politics , hustings, breach of faith, betrayal, erosion of long term friendship for people whom u barely know more than name n face and many more side effects it come with, Life is going to be too busy for juices listening everyone’s opinion repetitively. I am afraid ,with 3to 4 candidates going for posts at the helm,they would find it hard to find some peace time for them as allies of each candidate ud wanna woo and hog his vote. I just wonder if this aspect of election in BITS is gonna fill them with frisson for as always there ud be people having conviction to prove their bitsat score wrong and longing to make a mark in their life ,and then there will be people who will say BITS is what they craved for and got it, hence deadend for the toil they have been putting for past few years oblivious to rule of survival of fittest.. Obvious some will start harbouring dreams for prez ,hreps ergo becoming ambassadors for some candidate ,falling for the bait for posts. and few of them cornering themselves from election making lib their nxt home zeroing in their target of vertical transfer and carrying on the habit of topping till now, as might have been the case in their coveted or nondescript schools alike. Whatever may be the fate of elections, those candidate will tryout every bow in their quiver to get as many vote as possible ,be it sharing common geographical boundaries , clout of seniors, clubs n depts. ,spurious manifesto points, which hardly get fulfilled with the exception like last year. With the dramatic turnaround of events last year during election with none outvoting its counterpart, EC taking groundbreaking decisions casting shadow over its future , let’s hope this time or anytime bitsians don’ t get to witness such election, and looking at the silverlining of lots of candidates to choose from, let’s hope best candidate gets elected who can emulate last year stupendous show of hard work put up by SU raising the bar of college fests to a new high.

As the old adage goes-

“During an election, campaign is full of air and air full of campaign" let’s wish former proves wrong.
