Hand vs Lotus Vs mixture

Exactly 18 days from today, world's largest democorcy is going to polls. Unlike last election, this election is having a triangular competetion, in which all three has equal advantage and disadvantage. In this post, let me try and figure out some of the pros and corns of them. Before jumping into the topic, I just want to make some genralized point on this election and here are they. 

Positivie points: 
Unlike any other elections this election has
-> Major campign by various NGOs and individuals seeking common man to vote.
-> Elections campaingn switched from road to internet.
-> More emphasis on youth.
-> Some clear cut message on India's growth is avaliable in each of the major party's mainfesto.

Negative points:
Like any other elections, this election also has
-> Caste and commmunal based campaign
-> Change of coaliation by parties for money and mere politics.
-> Lot of party's candidate continue to have maximum criminal records.
-> Money for vote still continues.

Now as I said before, let me run through all major parties pros and corns.

Let us start with the national flower:
 
BJP led NDA.

Pros:
 -> Good campaign technique, they have quickly adapted to modern world, by giving ads in almost all top sites that we indians access.
-> Manifesto of BJP is in detail, which explains what the party will do in each sector, but will they do it?.
-> Narendar Modi's vibrant gujarat is major boast as it is projected as key factor.
-> Has very good leaders like Advani,Arun, Modi, Jaswant e.t.c
-> Have clear advantage in most of the northern states of india 
-> All the coailation has the capacity to win seats in election.
-> Anyone who is not happy with the current govt will obivosly select NDA.

Corns:
-> Following Hinduthuva.
-> Split in high profile leaders.
-> In Tamilnadu (40),Kerala(20),AP(42),UP(80) BJP does not have good presence nor a good coialiation to win seats, which means NDA is contesting in mere 400+ seats and not 543.
->Unneccesary points by some of the party members like Varun's.

Next let me keep my hand on the hand.

Pros:
-> Have better leaders and economist like Manmohan, FM etc.,
-> The govt has done some good work, it depends on how they are going to project it.
-> Have lot of young leaders, who can deliver.

Crons:
-> Have lost few important alies like Lallu, PMK.
-> In general people have bad opinion about the current government.
-> Does not have a strong Mainfesto.
-> Does not have a better campaign statergy.

Next on the mixture...

Pros 

-> Lot of small party.
-> Being a alternative for BJP and Congress.

Crons:
-> Too many party with no common goal  
-> Too many big player.
-> Many high class voter dont support LEFT.

On the whole, my wish is, be it NDA & UPA the progress will be kind of ok, but dont want to give my future to a coaliation, which has parties that opposed important deals like nuclear deal, a deal which is so important to India.
