Prologue to the poll question!!
A few forums/organizations seem to come-out with some sound-bytes only for press coverage (where are you Capt. Rama Rao & Dr. Jayaprakash when there is a crying need for some activism? - don’t you people think great people start with little achievements? – why don’t you get us good roads to start with?) & amazingly we never see any organization utilizing the tantalizingly tempting tool called RTI act in this part of the country – are we really any better than Bihar? – ponder & vote)
