If you are so concerned about the welfare of the people and the 'roads', why don't you move back from Delhi. If you wanted to really make a difference did you ever approach any of the congress MP's or even your former MLA, whom I have been told is a youth of impeccable character and very hardworking. I have lived in these hills enough to know that the current MLA is not exactly Santa Claus. Dear Friend, do not confuse yourself - you are everything but a congress-supporter.

There was ram[pant mud-singling at the opposition by all parties. I'd thought all this while that votes cannot be bought in Himachal, but I was wrong. Votes are bought for just a bottle of whisky. People compromise their next five years for a mere bottle of whisky. The trend is not restricted to one party but all. In fact cash too is used. I know a close cousin, who was astonished to see his name in a list of a particular party which showed that he had been given Rs 4,000, when in reality he had got zilch. The list had the signatures of the local official of the party. I'd asked him if he could get the list and I could take a photocopy of it, but he could not manage to get the list and I had to come back to Delhi the next day. The money has obviously gone into the pockets of some senior leader of the party, and the overall heads in the party have been told that they have distributed this much money. Rs 4,000 is just one case. Imagine, how many such people would have been there who have been put across as having received money when they've got nothing. Well, I'm not naming the party as I've got nothing to prove. Any way let's hope that Pappu does well. If failure is the pillar of success then I hope Pappu will try and do some good work and keep his seat warm for the future as well. Till then let Pappu bask in the new found glory. :) I was astonished to see that issues were never a part of the campaigning even in Himachal.

BJP won handsomely in both these districts. "Pappu pass ho gaya" finally the 10th time!! Seems, the road issue was a non issue this time in elections in Shimla and Sirmour.
