I Liked this Statement made by 'The Grand Old Man Of Tamilnadu Politics' --
"Even With Increase in the fuel prices every now and then ,this Government has helped the poor a great deal by not increasing the fares of Public Transport Buses"
Oh what a Tragedy !!!
This man thinks we people are Fools(which is true to some extent since it is in TN where an election has been won on a manifesto), the Opposition as Idiots ( 100 % true ) , The Central Government as Stupids (surely they are !)...
However all three categories mentioned above must accept of the fact that Mr K knows his stuff and is very intelligent too..
Let me tell how ..
--> A Prefix 'M' has been added to all major Bus routes across Chennai , which increases the ticket cost by RE 1.
--> For Eg: 12B minimum fare is Rs 2 and M12B (the Same Route) , The minimum Fare is Rs 3 .
--> There are no extra facilities in 'M' prefixed buses for the extra rupee ..
--> There's seldom plain white board buses plying in the city as of now .
--> Indirect coercion to commute in Deluxe Buses and A/c Buses and Direct coercion to commute in 'M' prefixed buses are happening as these buses are plying during Rush Hour and the Commuters have no other option .
--> The Ticket Cost in the Deluxe and A/c buses are thrice the normal rates.
In real sense ,this is robbery .. However our people are concerned about price rise only when its apparent and Mr K with all his experience has understood the people and their response to such price rise stimuli .
Such Style of Politics are yet to catch up with 'J' and knowing her past , one can expect her to be worst than Mr 'K'... ( lol...)

His health permitting , I wont be surprised if he wins one more election...
