..of lies and aam janta

The headline in today’s national newspaper – “BJP, Cong hog big biz funds” had me seething in rage. How dare they loot and exhibit the hard earned money of the working class (irrespective of the color of the collars) …..

When recession is hitting all of us and maiming us, when we are even scared to dream, when we are desperately trying to cut down on, (even), our necessities to bare minimum, when children are forced to drop out of schools and colleges for lack of fund or sponsorship, when people are resorting to the last desperate measure of taking their lives and ending the lives of the little ones – And these ‘netas’ are collecting funds, readily doled out by the very business houses that are kicking people out, to publicize their agendas.

Come election time, we hear about all these ‘… point programmes’ and how they have kept their words to the ‘aam janta’, how they have coursed the ‘Matri bhoomi’ to self reliance and wealth…blah...blah…

Do we really care to hear such bulbous self glorifications? Aren’t we having enough of them, staring at us from every TV channel and newspaper, every single day?

We see and experience what they are doing, have done and get a fair idea of the impending deeds, then why this propaganda? We, the ‘aam janta’ are their report card, then why spend such disgusting amount propaganding their virtues and the opponent’s failure. We have ears and eyes.

When organizations are kicking out people or shutting doors, I wonder from where they get such money to fill the political kitty.

According to DNA, the Aditya Birla group donated some 21+ crores to the Congress. The list is long. These very organization, don’t give a thought showing the door to many talented, educated, honest, tax paying individuals, yet they have money to placate the politicians.

There’s a whisper going around, come election time, the economy will start looking up. The logic is: Money spent on campaigning> trading > economic boost.

Simple!

We have to be idiots to buy such craps.

America just had an election, huge amount of money was spent (as reported by the media.) dressing up the contestants and their family, so did that boost the fashion industry?

This aam janta is no economist, she does not understand the statistics. What this aam janta know is she is honest (and do not fudge accounts), she works very hard trying to make ends meet, ensuring that her kids get their basic dues, cutting down on stuffs that would make her life a bit comfortable – and here are the over inflated, dodgy politicians, in their sponsored Armani’s, spending aam jantas money to advertise lies on the basis of fudged statistics. Yes, this aam janta is very angry.
