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.<br />u00a0<br />People are not voting for political ideologies and parties, they are voting for good governance and development. <br />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.
