atal already took the blame for losing the elections! but he's too old to wait for 5 years and contest again.
hmmm.. there's light at the end of the tunnel.... hopefully someone will pull down the Communist-Congress alliance by the end of this year, so we wont have to wait long.

The Rainmaker wrote:you obviously dont need to be reminded about the number of tainted ministers the new govt has. do you beam with pride when u see laloo prasad yadav at the helm of affairs?
The Rainmaker wrote:me too. im not biased against laloo. i followed laloo's fodder scandal very closely, and i watch him make comments on tv. as for the scheme of using kulhads in the railways, it was suggested by the erstwhile railways minister way back in '97.
The Rainmaker wrote:he installed Rabri devi as the CM of bihar, that itself was a farce. isnt it understood that the housewife wld be a puppet? the RJD has turned bihar into a lawless land. all the elections there are rigged too. (not just his constituency).
a guy like that... we'll see where he goes as railway min.
i dont call this apathy. its more of disillussionment. abt me, the hardcore discussions of past 2 months has left me weary of this subject. anyway u've been saying what all i wanted to say. so i just contented myself reading this threadHabitual Perfectionist wrote:Sadly, the second volume of Perfectspeak ended up being a one on one between me and the rainmaker. This clearly shows how apathetic the urban youth is to politics today.
true but the fact is most of us are busy with our own matters, earning our salary etc. most of us feel our responsibilty ends after coming out of the polling booth, proudly displaying our ink stained fingers. damn bad attitude, but thats the truth.Habitual Perfectionist wrote:Governments today, take the urban youth for granted just because of this apathy. They know that we are a big and potent strength but lying dormant and consumed by a lot of inertia. We had loads of posts discussing violence and non-violence. We have such a powerful weapon at our disposal - The Internet. We can make a grand use of it to keep the government under a constant pressure to perform.
