Election fever
Five states will elect thier leaders in these two months in India. The second phase of polls is underway in Assam today. Tamil nadu is seeing an election like never before. Mixed- up leaders, Unbelievable manifestos, contemplating parties, last minute alliances, hushed-up meetings and extensive campaigns are the order of the day.
Ms.Jayalalita, the current Chief Minister, of the Democratic People's Alliance marks the achievement in the last five years by her government in her manifesto. Highlights include the post-tsunami and flood relief, elimination of forest brigand Veerappan, Free text books and bicycles for school students and non-increase of bus fare even though prices of diesel had gone up 20%.
The United Progressive Alliance Leader Mr.Karunanidhi in his manifesto has promised free colour television to all those house holds which do not have one. There is also the promise of 1 Kg of rice for Rs 2 in all Public Distribution shops and reservation for the minorities and two acres of land and all this without increasing the burden of the taxpayers.
The third party in the fray headed by actor Mr.Vijayakanth has not yet relased its mainfesto but in his campaign he has promised old age home in every district, Business loans for all graduates and sufficient representation of women in the government.
The Marketing of the parties have started with the freebies. Next we can expect Samples, Discounts and Extras.
