POWER-FULL POLITICIANS

The Tamilnadu Government announced that there is acute Power shortage in the state and Chennai and other cities will have to suffer one hour of power-cut everyday, while the suburbs will be put to two hours of power-cut daily.

But when I went to T.Nagar (busy shopping place in Chennai) on Saturday, I found a particular road fully decorated with Tube lights and decorative lamps due to a congregation of a particular political party. So power shortage is only meant for the common man who unfortunately and ironically not only elects the politicians to a position of power but also pays the taxes to enable them to get rich and also make the common man the most deprived. Can any civilized country have a better justice system to its citizen than India.

The moral of the story is that today politicians of India are the most powerful community in the widest definitions of the word "Power" and all others are Poor-full communities in its widest definitions too.

  • Hari, maybe we get the politicians we deserve? Remember what Tagore said: 'Never bend your knees before insolent might.'

    Nobody can make us powerless without our consent, yet we choose silence over action.

    I am yet to hear of any citizens organisation in Chennai register their vocal protest against the misuse of both Power and power.

  • True. We are all equally guilty. Why talk about citizens of Chennai, no organisation anywhere in the country questions the vulgar unparliamentary activities that our parliamentarians practice out in and out of parliament.

  • Thanks Swahilya.


    True Fruitu. Nature should take corrective steps not only to correct the vagaries of nature but also our own mistakes.
