The great Indian election bazaar has started in Tamil Nadu. Indian media are agog with Arabian Night stories of fantastic offers to the voters during the forthcoming state assembly on April 13. Moreover, this is the first time, I am going to cast my vote.Let us have a look of freebies provided by DMK and AIADMK.
Seeking to woo the voters, ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu said it would distribute free mixies or grinders to women, free laptops to SC/ST students and free rice of 35kg to BPL families if voted back to power. After the DMK announced a string of freebies in its election manifesto, the archrival AIADMK came out with its own edition of the soap opera.The AIADMK is not lagging behind. In fact, the AIADMK supremo J. Jayalalitha tried to beat her bête noire Karunanidhi at his own game by jumping several steps ahead. In a nutshell, both have copied each other.
Here's a sample: While the DMK had promised 35 kg of free rice every month for below-poverty line families, AIADMK has promised 20 kg of free rice for all ration-card holders. If DMK wants to give women free mixies and grinders, its rival has added fans to the list. The ruling party has promised laptops to students in their first year of college. Jayalalitha is promising them one even as early as their eleventh standard.
Both the Dravidian parties are simply fooling the people. I also feel that they are reducing the people to beggars. It clearly indicates that they are not confident to win votes by their acts and deeds.
I received a message yesterday " Karunanidhi to the people of Tamil Nadu, before world cup Cricket match : People dont have to worry if India loses the world cup, we will "Freely" distribute the world cup to each house in Tamil Nadu." This proves that they have misjudged the minds of the people.
What a great tyaga dharma that could not even be foreseen by Lord Buddha!!!!
These freebies are really a big shame to a democratic country. Freebies , undoubtedly, make people idle and it halts nation's development. Yesterday, I happened to see Karunanidhi's election campaign in Salem in television. He was asking the voters "whether they wanted a government which provides 3 eggs or a government which doesn't provide eggs." What a shame...!!! It is crystal clear from his statement that politicians have thought that they could easily fool people.
These politicians are undoubtedly barriers for nation's progress. People should understand that where the money comes from and how the expenses are compensated after the leaders get elected to power.
