Elections are the time when Indian politicians go berserk for votes, giving you anything ranging from free colour TVs to ten grand for a vote. Not to mention a sudden surge of Interest in world affairs - All of a sudden, all parties want to put an end to the genocidal struggle between the SL army and the LTTE. Miss J was all over the media promising to put an end to the war and formation of a new eelam for "the safety of tamils".No, Thank you maam, the one that is already present seems to be causing enough trouble already.
Elections are the time when politicians- those who are entrusted with the task of running a country turn into some wild motto confused group of national dealers.For instance, a notified dignitary, Prakash Karat didnt take so much as a sniff into the SL issue. but with the alliance cooking up , we saw him at the Marina, heralding the cause like hed been doing it for years.
Elections are also the time when politicians become overtly modest.It is an eyewash process that the politicians contesting elections are declaring their assets. It is really makes me angry to see their assets declared at peanuts.
A few days back, I happened to see the declaration from two politicians in some Tamil web site where the value of the Honda City is 1.2 Lakhs and Land Rover is 1.2 Lakhs. Similarly Vaiko has declared the land value at Saidapet, Chennai around 9 Lakhs. Even many of the national leaders declaring that they don't even have a car. I would be happy to buy them all at the quoted prices and they can even keep the change.This is the height of making mockery of our constitution which is a century old.
Now im confused , with such a fleet of outstanding politicians, I cant decide who is the wiser. i think my vote should go to the youngest budding politian - PAPPU RAJ:-)
