Mulayam promises to remove unemployment if voted to power

Wednesday, April 11, 2007

Ghaziabad: Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav today said if voted to power, the Samajwadi Party (SP) would "remove" unemployment from Uttar Pradesh.
"No party can provide a stable government in the state except the Samajwadi Party and a stable government is the only solution to the problems of the public," he said addressing an election rally here.
Promising increase in allowances to jobless youth and "kanyadaan" to girls, Yadav claimed if his party assumed power, it would "ensure that there is no unemployment".
Blaming the Congress for the rise in inflation, he said the poor are "getting poorer" in the Congress-led regime at the Centre. No political party had any issue for the betterment of the people, he alleged. Meanwhile, his arch-rival and BSP chief Mayawati claimed only her party could restore peace and order in the state.
Addressing an election rally, she alleged there was "secret pact" between the SP and the BJP. The parties have fielded candidates so as to "facilitate each other's success at the hustings".
"Neither the BJP nor the Congress were interested in the well being of the people of Uttar Pradesh," she said.
Mayawati cautioned voters against political parties trying to indulge in misinformation campaign to divide them on the poll eve and asked voters to remain vigilant against any such move to defeat the BSP.Exhorting people to come out in large numbers and exercise their franchise, the BSP chief asked her woman supporters to caste their vote before beginning their daily chores.

Earlier in Tamil Nadu Karuna Nidhi promised "colour TV's for the poor" and Selvi (means Kumari)Jayalalitha promised material (customary things like golden Magalasutra and all) required for the marriage of girls .But people preferred Karunanidhi's TV more and he came into power!
***************************************************************************************************************
Prioror to this in AP Rajasekhar Reddy promised free electric power to the farmers and seperate telengana state which Chandra Babu Naidu refused to promise because of practical issues.But Rajeshekara Reddy came into power but no power to farmers and no seperate Telengana

No. If some promises are fulfilled they are just in interest of next elections.

Do you beleive in voting?
Democratic country, do we have a choice?

Haven't got many chances but would prefer person.

I dont think this is true for US, the promise is on issue's not material things like TV and mangalsutra, it is generally, ok, if you elect for us, we will ban abortion or we will put a judge in place who will uphold Roe Vs Wade,
Now there is posturing on the back rooms like someone donates a million dollars and he might get a bill on the table that wants a 50 mile to be buidge to nowhere, but you know that is lobbying and an organization, there are laws agains it
you really cant compare American electoral process to Indian electoral process, the electoral process in India is in shambles
coming back to the issue of discussion:
  1. Do you beleive the electoral promises of the politicians?

In India, no

  1. Do you beleive in voting?

yes, I beleive that is the only way we can change the current rut of electoral politics in India, someday when I have patience to write up a page worth of thought, I will post why I think so😆

  1. On what basis do you vote a person/party

make a list of say top 5 issues, where they stand on it, if there is no difference, look at the candidate, does he/she look honorable😆(is he/she a relative😆).

I generally am a centrist, I have been a pro-congress since my early days(runs in family😆) and over the period of time I am shifting away to BJP

Cheers,
Mythili
