Today, in the Sunday edition of the Times, there's a shocker of a news that'll jolt most readers and will indeed form a cause for heavy discussion in the days to come. The Samajwadi Party (Mulayam Singh Yadav, Amar Singh etc.) has come up with the most pathetic and saddest manifesto that could ever be expected for these polls.
The party manifesto promises the following:
"Abolition of expensive edcucation in English!"
"Curb on use of computers and all forms of technology that replaces manual labour!"
"Non-acceptance of all mechanized agricultural equipment"
"Cut in high corporate salaries" and many other wierd promises!
What's more, the party candidates for Mumbai are firmly in support of the above - mentioned manifesto and have their own funny reasons for the same. They believe that since not many Indians can afford to study in expensive English medium schools, the clause for abolition of the language is aptly justified!!! This is as good as saying that because we cannot ensure food for all Indians, it's better they stop eating altogether!
What's pretty ironic though, is the fact that almost all of these hyprocritical Netas have ensured the highest quality of education for their own children, with many of them having studied from the most expensive Convent schools! The party has, amongst others, Mr. Sanjay Dutt in its ranks. Pity even he could not oppose the ridiculous manifesto!
How on earth can these people justify the means for such impoverishing comments is simply beyond my level of understanding! I mean, what then, is the difference between the Taliban and us, as the Times rightly asks? Why do we even need to criticize the Talibanis if our own Netas are hell-bent on driving us back to the Stone Age???
Can someone please explain this to me? Or to them???
