I've been following the various controversies, political scams and ghotalas with a lot of interest. I am particularly disappointed in Rahul Gandhi. He came in as an "agent of hope", and it's sad to see him treating his life as a journey of endless photo opportunities. Politicians need to realise that they are dealing with an educated and intelligent electorate that is under-25; an electorate that is not going to listen to empty words.

People are not voting for political ideologies and parties, they are voting for good governance and development.
The biggest problem faced by India today is a trust deficit. I hope that the media continues to play a strong role in taking politicians to task, because that is the only way to channel opinion and build public perception.
