In UP, a woman has put up merely a THOUSAND statues of elephants, which incidentally, are also the symbol of her party. On the One side, the TERRIBLE cost, and the Sheer Waste of Money. her argument was that people NEEDED to see these giants, in a free environment!
AS IF NOT ENOUGH ELEPHANTS ARE BROUGHT AROUND BEGGING IN THE STREETS OF UP!
And behold, PERMANENT election symbols! Which, for some reason, works like a Catalyst for the populace.
That, of course, is Another Misfortune of India, where people do not pay attention to what the party has already done, or the Suitability of the candidate, etc. Having already attended myriad meetings, of many parties in turn, having eaten the 'Biryanis' provided, and collected whatever was the going rate for the attendance, they will vote for whosoever caught their fancy. Just count the number of Cinema actors and actresses, not to say people from the sports field, who are out there deciding things for Us!
But they had brought in hitler too. So it is a world wide phenomenon.
Talking of TN, the pair of leaves being the symbol of the current ruling party, that symbol is plastered all over the place, with a twist... Increased number of leaves. Let it work on the subconscious of the people!
For all these things, the 'commission' will send a letter, asking for a reply within x days. There being whole teams behind them, they have already sorted out the kind of answer they are going to dish out, and they do it. commission is satisfied!
At the end of office hours, we find our dear members of the election commission duly turning up at home, and asking the Wifey: 'What have we for dinner today?' Then they go to sleep with a peaceful mind. Or what they think is peace!
