N-Deal and the Power cuts Game

Many of you would have experienced Power cuts in most of the cities in India. Electricity Board members claim this as 'Maintenance due to Power Shortage' work. Not long before was the N-Deal passed through the Lok Sabha majority. Just days before the N-Deal trust vote, many of you would have noticed that Electricity board released the power shortage estimation to the whole of India. It clearly mentioned in figures the amount of power shortage by each state (in MWS).

It was a right time for the government to strike such news so as to convince the entire voting citizens. Then they played another game in the form of power cuts that I mentioned at the start of this article. In Chennai especially, they cut the power for 1 hour on account of trading off the shortage of power supply to the city. In Bangalore, it was terrible I heard, having cut the power for more than 4 hours each day in two shifts: 2 hours in afternoon and 2 hours at mid-night! Terrible really!

Again as you can all see the common man is the sufferer. Why? Are we voiceless? No, we are powerless! Even during elections we can do little to reduce our grievances, because other parties cut our throat in some other forms. I am only forced to quote something that "Even God cannot save this country". It's true and I don't see any God transitioning from the peaceful heavens and land their legs on to this dirty dungeon.
