Voter awareness....continued

Morning arrives....inspite of protests... ah the inevitability of it all....

I come down to the dining room and see a small flyer (famplet...as some folks call it)...It urges people to exercise their franchise....yaaaawn....nothing new. So I toss it aside. But wait a minute, the contents are in the form of questions and answers. I decide to give it a second glance

It talks about terror attacks in the past five years, about 25000 temples closing down in Andhra Pradesh, price rise in the last 5 years, madrasas being given CBSE status and thus discouraging muslim kids from obtaining a secular education, etc.etc.

Well well, this is not an innocent NGO-driven campaign asking people to vote. It is a neatly disguised campaign rhetoric by A particular political party !

The drama that is Indian elections continues.....

Even if its in the pretext of some bogus "NGOs", anything that creates an awareness in the common man with regards to voting is always welcome!!!
