Who should change?Political Leaders or The People's Mindset

In the recent telangana by-elections TRS has sweepd the polls and won 11 out of 12 seats.Its good to see that the people has given a mandate for a single political party.
But is this mandate based on the agenda of the party or is it based on the anticipation of the good things that the party can do for its region or is this a mandate to Telengana sentiment and not for the leaders who were elected.

I personally feel its the sentiment that has won.TRS has created a view in the minds of people that if separate state for Telangana is obtained then there can be huge development in their region.It created a strong impression in the minds of people that development in the region can only be brought with a separate state.In such a scenario its obvious for people to choose TRS rather than other parties who have dual opinions that will change based on the situation.

TRS was successfull in creating political employment for itself. All other parties have failed to educate people properly that its the development that is required and not separate state.

The real issues which cause hindrance to the development of the region were suppressed.If atleast any one of the party had dedication to the development of the region then it should have very strongly supported TDP which started agitation on babli issue(though for political benifits).I seems to me that they were afraid that if they supported the credit will go to TDP and N.Chandrababu Naidu.I really wonder why JP hasnt supported it at that time,instead every one showed sympathy.

Its only the education and awareness that can change the mindsets of the people.Until then one or other political party will be exploiting the people.
