Bangalore: The political situation in the state has left many worried, especially youngsters, who fear that there would be instability in the entire system. While some of them feel that the government should continue because of its developmental efforts, others say that it is time youngsters take over the political mess from the older generation.
"The whole political system is in a horrible mess. The image of Karnataka is taking a beating because of a few corrupt MLAs," says Hari Shanker, a student of Seshadripuram First Grade College.
"The present government is very efficient. The improvement in transport facilities and the education system has been tremendous. These changes have taken place only because of the Yeddyurappa government," he says adding that a change in government will affect people in a big way.
Students feel that instead of looking into the larger needs of the state and the country, politicians seem to be addressing their needs. "The moral values of the politicians are so low and therefore there won't be scope for development," says Kounain Fathima, a student at Corporation Pre-University College.
"We are aware of what is currently happening, but it really does not affect us. Anyway, Bangalore is fully developed and has a good infrastructure. So, how does it matter which political party comes into power?" asks Aastha Kaushal, a student of Vidyashilp Academy.
Her friend, Shravya Muralidhar agrees and says, "All the melodrama that is happening is a waste of time and money. Already our exams got postponed, and now if something like that happens again, our schedules will be affected," she says. In fact, many students believe that politicians are a bad influence on the younger generation.
"All that is being done for the sake of publicity. Anyway, the youth don't care about what is happening. We are not interested with what the old politicians do," says 14-year-old Priyanka Menon, a student of Vidya Niketan School.
However, she adds that if the youth take on politics, then she will definitely be in tune with all the happenings. "If only the youth take over the world of politics, the world would be a better place to live in," she sighs.
Others say that they are neither interested in politics nor the current situation in the state. "I really don't care about the political system. It just does not affect my life," says Dilip Kumar.
