And the Comedy Continues......
This is the lastest update i got regarding the elections....Here are some of the promises made by Vijaykanth in chennai.
1) 15 kgs free rice (one up on JJ -- suddenly TN is becoming the breadbasket of India, don't know where they will go for all this free rice - and we hear that farmers in some parts of TN are eating rats just to survive).
2) Rs.500 everymonth for every household (don't know if they have any fine print) for grocery expenses -- ppl in TN are goin to be spoiled by our politicians no matter who comes to power, just look at the promises made by each party, forget about giving uninterrupted power supply, clean water and good infrastructure. He thinks if he gives 500 everymonth then everything in TN will be fine.
3) For three years, every mother will get Rs.500 a month (for upto 2 children) for proper nutrition. ( i am getting dizzy......)
4) This is THE ELECTION PROMISE i ve seen in my entire life. Here it is. Relate this with the first one. To help all the poor households, he will give one free MILCH COW. (Man i am stumpted....does he think that giving a cow will bring all these families out of misery.....i know that politicians are myopic in their thought, but maaaannnnn our politicians make my jaws drop with their stupidity.......
it would be fun to hear the promises of the other parties....

he he....... this election campaign is much better than tamil movies!!
the thing is they don't even try to debate what they would do (constructively). Instead its a long list of stuff that they would give for free. What are they trying to achieve? I atleast thought that fresh blood in the political stream will mean a fresh approach. Alas, i was day dreaming, Vijaykanth has also fallen prey to the same cheap tricks. What about the dudes from IIT....wat was the party's name?!....yeah, Lok Paritran. How many of the people in India would be able to identify with these dudes to vote for them? Firstly, how many of these dudes know the real problems that their constituencies face. I know they are pretty adept and have cool academic qualifications, but how many of them (the guy who is contesting in Mylapore has not been in India for a longtime) can identify with the problems that the simple middle class or the poor face? I am not being cynical or judgemental. I feel, you just cannot come one day and tell you are opening a party, just a few months before the elections and expect to make any impact. I feel they are not even in the picture.
