IPL or General Elections?

Finally, putting rest to all kind of speculations, Lalit Modi announced IPL season 2 will kick off from April 10th. Great amount of re-scheduling plans have been chalked out so that IPL matches don't clash with general elections polling; This is a good news for millions of cricket lovers across continents(I am one of them!!).

However, I still feel that two events of such great magnitude shouldn't take place at the same time. General Elections are far more important than any sporting event. Through these elections, we choose our representatives, who ultimately rule the country.

These two events will put extra pressure on the government agencies to provide security measures to matches as well the polling event. It will be a real testing time for the country.

On a lighter note, we will enjoy the double thriller of IPL glitz and glamor as well as the general election proceedings

All eyes will be on India.

May the best team win and the best political party form the Government!!
