The political musicians of Gujrat could not hold the home audience even by the most extravagant campaign and election symphony. The Orchestra cost some 3 billion rupees over just a couple of months. But at the end, the Chaudhries even lost their seats even in their hometown. Their score on the floor was less than 40 seats of the National Assembly of 342 seats.  
Interestingly, the election law does not fix any expenditure limit for political parties and unlike individual candidate, the PML (Q) could spend any thing it could afford. The focus obviously was on the junior Chaudhry who was running for the Prime Minister after showing the door to Shaukat Aziz.
The Bicycle Orchestra initially amplified the already sung development songs in Punjab. But it was suddenly interrupted by the sad incident that silenced the election music for a few days.  The campaign took full advantage of the expanded media in Pakistan and even the private channels were visibly tilted in favour of the Ruling Party much like the State run Pakistan Television.
Responding to the challenge, the PML (N) was fairly prompt in launching a song that swayed the voters. The PPP could not find equally good composers and was ranking the lowest in the musical race although claiming the highest number of chairs.
Both the major parties were able to manage sizeable score by much affordable budgets. The PPP didn’t have much requirement for election music but after the mourning, it just couldn’t resist the temptation.
One hopes the researchers would find time to calculate the per voter cost of PML(Q) which may help the legislators to draw the rules for the future campaigns.
