dear friend,

this letter seems interesting.... but how true ....?
this is not an unanswered question.... but a known
fact, that be it sangma, or pawar, or advani, or
vajpayee, or even sonia gandhi, how many of them are
honest and genuinely interested in the masses, how
many of them are interested in reaching out to the
poor man on the streets ? how many of them are
concerned for the day to day problems faced by the
common man, ? NONE for that reason. just imagine a
few facts here.

a honest clerk in a govt office earns a clean
7000-9000 per month. he is given house rent
allowance, for say about rs 1000, but he ends up
paying rs 2000 the minimum, or even more. he is left
with just 8,000.
the he pays rs 1500 electricity bill, another 800
towards muncipal taxes, society taxes, he needs about
1200 towards his commuting to office and home,
he has not had mhis meals yet ...n find in his poskect
just rs 4500 of his salary left, he has bills to pay,
groceries another 1500, school fees and books for his
children rs 600/- private tution fees rs 1000/-, day
to day necessities in the kitchen n home @ rs 100/day,
another 3,000. this takes him to already realizing
that he runs short of Rs 1600 already, and the
government caes a damn, whether its his sliver wedding
anniversary, or whether his son has topped in the ssc
exams , or whether he has a daughter to be mariied, or
whether he needs to pay for his mothers operation, oh
the govt cares a damn !
yeah but I forgot, that this man had not had a decent
pair of trousers or a shirt for the last 2 diwali's n
the ones he is earing presently is darned and neatly
repaired by his wife..... gosh the tailor asked for Rs
25/- why not do it at home....... but this family has
a dream, .... they wish to go on a pilgrimage ... to
their family diety's shrine, and that too this dream
is long over due....... but why not just take the
LTC, n get going, ...... Goah cant they fast.....
abstain .... and just keep praying all their way to n
fro..... after all their are on a pilgrimage.....
what's the need to spend another 5,000/- WHERE DOES
THIS MONEY COME FROM.

would they even be in a position to sing " God save
the king "

I havbe been shouting all these years, n putting up
these problems for the common man , but theer's no one
to listen. sangma, should remember his previous days,
n have some sympathy for the man on the streets, as
all this loud talk is a part of another markettign
strategy.... there the polls round the corner.

Oh yeah I jumbled it up, ........ but buddy, you n i
are rich enough to feed ou child with icecreams, but
just look back, your neighbour needs your love.

good luck.
Raju
