Congress trying to follow the TN way has announced theses stupid schemes. The party may win the elections on these promises, but ultimately it is the common man who is going to suffer.Look at TN,what is the current position. TN which had surplus electricity before MK's rule is suffering from unprecedented power cut. Industries have been forced to close for one day a week and five hours a day. Productivity of the common man has come down. People have become so lazy,that they are not ready to work. They know they can get free rice,electricity & what not.The weavers who in the beginning were ecstatic about the free power are now feeling the pinch and now saying that they are ready to apy, but give us proper supply. The rice scheme is helping only the black marketeers as we read in the papers daily. So many lorries were caught today trying to smuggle the PDS rice.Everybody knows if the no of lorries shown is hardly a fraction of those let off. The people of Karnataka have to think twice before being cheated by such stupid schemes which are a burden on honest tax paying citizens, who are now helpless in making a simple living at current cost of living. Dont be cheated by such stupid schemes and unneccesary words like secularism etc. Think about Gujarat,look at their progress and then you can vote. Do you want to live a prosperous life like a Gujarati or a horrible living like a Tamilian. Remember Modi was the only politician who had the guts to sday he will not give anything free,
