First launch 2 Mbps unlimited @ 200 INR per month and then ask for my vote.

ahem. we are talking about politicians. they need issues which remains important for every future election.

if there are no issues, what would they promise to fix?

most of what you are saying was to happen irrespective of the party at the center.

i have high hopes from LK Advani. especially compared to the alternatives we have.

there is a realistic chance of mayawati becoming the PM this time around.

i would have to look at the possibilities of deporting myself out of the country if that happens.
