Digital Desk: We live in a nation where diplomacy is wrapped up in political tools and tricky speeches of leaders standing in front of the loud open mic that sound rustic after elections. We live in a nation where benefits and schemes come only ahead of the polls for people's service.
The nation's premier should be responsible for disbursing schemes and advantages for its people when required, not when it's time to win the votes banks and counting heads for acquiring the eye chair of the room.
Manipur is going to hold its election in March 2022. Interestingly, after almost two years, PM Modi will be visiting Manipur on January 4 with his gifts to allure votes for the upcoming polls. PM Modi last visited Manipur during his public address at the election rally on April 7, 2019.
Well, coronavirus might have limited the ways for the premier to visit the state in the last two years. However, Omicron currently seems to spread faster than any other coronavirus variant. Yet, it's fantastic for the people of Manipur to see that the prime minister of the nation will be visiting their land. However, none will take accountability for bhakts gathering for his visit and riding into Covid hotspots.
Elections in India have become one of the biggest forms of festivals to celebrate for the bhakts of any political party. Liberalism has died long back, and we still shout at people (who are less known) for being proud of living in the largest democracy in the world. Violations of human rights in the name of AFSPA sort of Acts still exist in states, hurting the sentiments of locals. We still claim to be a proud Indian when the nation is decaying with spoiled poll agendas and strategies.

The nation's premier visit to Manipur seems obvious since it will exercise votings in March this year. But, you might be wondering why the head has chosen to visit Tripura?
Sources have stated that PM Modi will visit Tripura this time. The projects scheduled to be inaugurated or started are possibly just gifts and not poll gimmicks. Hope that's genuine for the concern of individuals. But, the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) has set plans to leave its footprints in Tripura. Can this be one reason for the premier visiting Tripura and announcing projects that fascinate ballots?
Let's dig into the execution of undertakings started by the government ahead of the polls. To the foremost, hurting the sentiments of people in Nagaland, the Centre has extended the AFSPA for six months even after making a panel to review the withdrawal process. The Clean Ganga project started in 2019 remains incomplete. Ganga is decaying, and some leaders are trying to unclog vices.
September 2021 data showed how the model smart city plan has decomposed in papers. Even after five years of its launch, hundreds of undertakings under the Smart City Mission have not been completed. These undertakings seem incomplete until the state celebrates the festival of elections.
Assam has not received any major projects when the rest of the states have received schemes and funds. The people of Assam will have to wait for the years 2024 and 2026 for receiving gifts. This year gifts from premier are only applicable for states that will hold elections in the upcoming months.
