Can Technology Impress The Voters?

Woke up this morning with a phone call from my friend Mahesh who had been waiting in Rajkot to see his favorite leader on beautiful misty morning in Gujrat. He tells me that the party workers have been working round the clock to ensure that crowds are well managed in Ahmadabad because the leader will soon be making a public appearance. He goes on to tell me how they are all working towards revamping how political appearances will be in future and how his favorite leader is the pioneer in this very aspect as well. He goes on to narrate that another party worker is in Vadodra to question the politician about his propaganda and another worker in Surat is also one of the many waiting to meet his idol. 

This phone call had me confused that unless his leader has got himself cloned who does he plan to address crowds in 4 different cities at the same. Never did I think that the Political rallies in the country where internet penetration is yet to be 50 % or we are yet to have 100% electricity coverage areas are now taking technological aide to address crowds to talk about development! Welcome to the technical side of politics (nothing is impossible in 21st century) 

Concept front runner Tech savvy CM of Gujarat, who delivered speech in 53 different locations in a day during Gujarat election. Gone are those days when leader had to visit their constitutional area or had to address public gathering in person to spread their views and opinion. Now they can have a 3D appearance in any part of the country and share their views with just a click.

I wont be surprised if next time around am witness the leader(s) chatting me up about economy, society, development & morality of being an Indian over a cup of tea while being beamed right in my living room!
