Scraps Stuffs - Random musings from apun ka desh

So the AP voters buggered Naidu in AP. As a gult colleague was mentioning yesterday, one of the reasons the voters were bugged with him was because he raised the prices of electricity. The voters would rather have the SEB go bankrupt than pay a non-subsidised price for the power they consume! Typically Indian - would try to get away with paying nothing if possible. But want all the facilities in the world!

But I'm amazed at Naidu not having any inkling of the drubbing he was about to receive. Typically for a chief minister he would have all the intelligence gathered by the police and the state machinery at his command. So how come he didn't know which way the wind was blowing?

So people having the freedom to throw out politicians they don't like is a mixed blessing. I have no doubt that Naidu concentrated on the cities and ignored the villages and mofussil towns. Relatively speaking. That's standard for all politicians as that gets them the maximum media coverage. This time the vast majority of voters punished him for it.

Will the Lok Sabha results from AP also result in him and the BJP getting routed? Or will the voters behave like voters in the neighbouring state of Karnataka when they vote for one party in the state elections and the opposition at the center?

Dilli door nahin.
