I'm no friend of the commies, but i know they don't have to worry. Come election day, and the ones who line up at the polling booths will be those daily wage earners, factory workers etc....the vote bank of Commies. To them, Deal or No Deal, it doesn't matter. What matters is whether they can see a better life before they die. Sadly, this deal hardly ensures that, despite all the hype.
Remember that Vajpayee lost the election in 2004, not because he did nothing.....but because his supporters among the educated middle class did nothing on election day.....The middle class voters enjoyed in the following ways:
1. Using the cheaper airline tickets, courtesy his policy to encourage domestic travel. 2. SMSing or talking to loved ones on Mobile phones, courtesy his timely and creative Telecom policy 3. Going on long rides by own cars, courtesy of his Golden Quadrilateral Project that improved road network and the thrust given to automobile sector. 4. Enjoying a movie sitting in the cozy comforts of their own home, thanks to his govt's policy of giving tax discounts on home loans......
There are many more.....And, not for nothing is Mr.Vajpayee called the Bhishma Pitamaha of Indian Politics....he has seen all, done all....and yet remains a highly respected leader in India. MMS will do well to take some guidance from him.
