Election Freebies: DMK vs AIADMK

NOTE: I changed my blog heading now... Its not anymore just DMK...

The DMK, in its manifesto, has promised (a) a concrete house worth Rs.1,00,000 (b) grant to women folk of a sum of Rs.5,000-Rs.10,000 through women self help groups (c) free mixie or grinder (d) laptop worth around Rs.20,000 or more for students (e) free bus travel to senior citizens worth around Rs.2,000 per month at current rates (f) 35 kg of rice worth around Rs.175 and (g) PMK's promise of direct cash transfer of around Rs.1,500 - which approximately totals over Rs.200,000 over the next five years per family.


Now lets see AIADMK, and how can they lag behind....



Highlights of AIADMK's manifesto:  (source NDTV)
  • Fans, mixies and grinders free for all women
  • 20 kg free rice for all ration card holders
  • Free laptops for all higher secondary students and engineering students
  • Four gram free gold for poor brides for mangalsutra
  • 60,000 free cows for 6,000 villages to increase milk production


Isn't that we call a bribe????

As per the current status of politics and our people's mind set, i guess that we don't have any near time solution. If somebody comes up with a noble solution also, nobody going to hear/listen to it. Everybody has more greed of money - top to bottom (including me). If you have more money (irrespective of how did you earn that money), you have been considered as very successful person by the society or by media. People almost lost their own feeling of gratification in everything except money. Those who try to follow also, considered as incapable person. Your words "God save Tamil Nadu!!!" fluently comes to everybody's mouth since we don't have any implementable initiative or action plan. Lets go and watch some cricket match or a movie and pass our life.
